Just a fun thread, what 10 minis that you feel are subpar now, but can easily be boosted back into playability. Not characters you want new versions of, but old stuff.
1. Luke Skywalker, JM: So close. I love his CE, and I love his potential. A new Mara Skywalker would have the potential to boost him. Either giving him GMA or MotF 3 would make him a nice threat.
2. Darktroopers: Sorry, I need more boosters. Mohc is great, but I need MORE.
3. Kyle Katarn: The original is so close, he only needs a few things to keep up with his more expensive Jedi versions.
4. Yuuzhan Vong Elite Warrior: Just needs a generic Warrior CE for the Vong, period.
5. Durge, JH: Just needs something to help him set up.
6. Imperial Knights: Their Atk boosts with Synergy is nice, just needs a little something more.
7. Lucien Draay: Got a small boost with the Covenant Consular, but he still lags behind the other "Duelist" pieces.
8. Jedi Master Kit Fisto: Rapport his cost down, maybe get some Renewal and Defense, he could be fun.
9. Djas Puhr: Just an old favorite from SWCCG.
10. Dejariks: They beg for a Grimtaash to boost them.

Well, here goes (in no specific order): 1. Rebel Commando; give them Rookie 2. Old Republic Recruit; give them Rookie 3. Mandalorian Blademaster; he was sort of replaced by the Mando Captain and Marauder combo 4. Dark Side Enforcer; bring down their cost with Rapport of some sort 5. Luke Skywalker of Dagobah; seemed to be missing something 6. Massassi Sith Mutant; in the comics they were far more deadly, maybe make some sort of Massassi Leader? 7. Boba Fett, YM; maybe have his dad boost him? 8. Nien Nunb; he doesn't actually need a remake, just a Lando to help him (give Pilot/Atk boost) 9. Darth Caedus; again, a mini that doesn't need a remake, just needs some Synergy with Lumiya, Tahiri, or Ben 10. Reborn; have Desann or Tavion boost them

Ewoks: something to give them the Umph they need to actually be effective in guerrilla warfare. I would love to see a CE that gives them all traps or dr 20 something.
Trandoshans
Moncalamari Would love a merumeru style piece for both the doshans and calamari. Woud love an new akbar that could bring in calamari of any factions.
GMLS (Though its hinted that help is on the way).
Jabba's subfaction: We have all this focus in black sun and zaan consortium, but jabba was a HUGE (no pun intended) faction at the time of the clone wars and rebels. I think he, and his sub faction really are way over due for some hutt lovin.

Agreed, we really need a Desann. And with a Jerec and a Rebel Operative Kyle perhaps we are working our way there! Caedus, I agree that he needs some synergy with Lumiya and others, but I think a remake might also help. I think my number one boost would be GMLS or Luke JM...though a new version would also be nice. Though I do think Luke JM can be boosted into relevance. Epic Mara does it well but...well is Epic. I'd also love to see some boosts for the Imperial Knights/Antares Draco/Roan Fel. I love the Imperial Knights from the comics, and their minis are solid but they just need a little boost. The Knight Master was a step in the right direction providing another solid option for the Knights, but maybe something to increase defense (especially ranged) or damage output. Draco gets a bit of a boost being a pilot follower, but the rest of the crew can use some help. Heck, giving them Force Reneweal might really help. I love the idea that Knights fight together though, so I want to keep the Synergy theme going. I doubt Imperial Knights will ever be a top tier squad, but they could be really fun and solid with just a small push. For Instance: One of the Knight Masters (Treis Sinde maybe) might have a CE like, While an Allied Imperial Knight is within 6 squares of another Imperial Knight, that character gains Force Reneweal 1. Or Make Hogrum Chalk with an ability like Master Armorer: Imperial Knights gain Shields 1 while within 6 squares of this character. And I'd also like to see Imperial Knights be able to crossover with the New Republic. I think that could help them out A LOT, and it could give the NR some access to 2 more solid non-unique Force Users. Perhaps Ganner Krieg could have this ability

Battle Droids need a way to counter strafe (self destruct 10 CE from a new General Mar Tukk)
Commando Droids (the original ones, a Commander Sorbek CE to give them Energy Shield)
Imperial Knight (A new Antares Draco leader of the Imperial knights to give them charging assault or lightsaber reflect/deflect)
Reborn (agree with above, a Desann with rapport for then that hands out one or a couple of these: Force Renewal 1, force grip 10, Lightsaber Duelist, synergy)
Dark Troopers (Maybe a Kueller or NK1 Necrosis with rapport for imperial droids and hands out some Droid special ability like fire control and/or Droid master)
Yuuzhan Vong Warrior/high bred warrior/elite warrior (some sort of Vong Champion with a CE like Yuzzhan Vong Warriors within 6 squares gain +4 attack and cleave)
Peace Brigade! [an SA or CE for Tizo worm(this character counts as yuuzhan vong for the purpose of commander effects) as well as thud/razor bugs)
Trandoshan Mercs [give them CE: Trandoshan allies (including this character) may use abilities that replaces attacks twice instead of once per turn
Trandoshan allies gain Net Gun]
Grievous Kaleesh Warlord (so close to being good, maybe his woman? She could give him synergy/protective. Or another Dooku that somehow boosts allied living commanders; a side note for this is one that gives allied Sep commanders with a force rating makashi style and Lightsaber duelist, then an dark ability similar to light tutor that allows you to give out a force point/rating)
Kyle Katarn (Jan Ors piece that gives out missiles 30, extra attack or something along those lines for our non-JBM Kyles)

Nien Nunb. I know that he's already a central piece in the Tier 1 "Nien Nunb Cannon" but I just feel there is something else that could be done with him...
C3PO, Ewok Deity. Who doesn't boost Ewoks.
Luke Skywalker, Champion of the Force. I just want an uber-Rebel-Melee-Luke.
Emperor Palpatine, Sith Lord. By all accounts, Palps was an uber-Sabre waver, who was never really bested. Mini doesn't quite suggest that.
I'll keep thinking...

Imperial Knights (perhaps access to extra force points from a cheaper character than papa Palpatine)
Separatist Commando (At only 5 attack without access to easy attack bonuses it often feels like they are ineffective)
That's it off the top of my head.

That's the first Nien Nunb Cannon I've seen that doesn't use the Klaatoinian Enforcer as it's backup shooter. Risky, but I guess it works okay.
