So with MOTF clearly the last set, the set list is by far the most important of them all. Why, well this is the last shot to get those "dream" mini's onto your table.
Now keep in mind you only have a few spaces to work around. And here's why,
8 spaces are taken for the Dejark monsters, and knowing what we know about WOTC, and how they've designed sets in the past, we can assume there will be these characters as highly possible to show.
Han, Luke, Leia, Vader, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin, Padma, Mace Windu, Dooku, Palp's or Sidious and an R2 and 3-PO. That's 13/14 right there.
Now is this speculative, sure, but I can see it happening from WOTC, after all these are the "Money" characters, or so they've been called for a while now. It's also possible that I am way off here, but, let's say before his exit from WOTC, Rob had not considered this to be the last set and had tossed in a few gem characters to add to the repitor of not yet seen mini characters, but again this one I think isthe least likely.
Now with only 16 slots available for Rares and Very rares this is bad for those of us hoping for some nice unique's from some of the lesser factions, but think about it, the OT and the PT are prolly gonna be spilt right down the middle with 8 a piece, 4 rares and 4 Vr's for each era
So assuming the above list is accurate, and those characters are slatted to make there last apperance in this current form, what 4 uniqes would you have fill out the line up card?
And say since this is purely speculative anyway, if you could choose all 16 rares who would they be and what would be your reasons for them?
My four would be; 1) Captian/Admiral Palleon (Affinty for either the NR or Empire) 2)Yuuzhan Vong Supreme Overlord Shimria (The VOng need someone, after getting the shaft from the get go in this game) 3)Jorus Caboth (This one is a great curve ball, he can be the cokie clone or the republic hero, most likely the cokie clone from the DF trilogy when we first met him.) 4)Malakili, the rancor-keeper. One last unique from Jabba's horde of goons, with some great stuff to help the pour rancor of course.
A few of the non-uniqes I'd like to see; Yuuzhan Vong Voxyn Yuuzhan Vong War Coordinator A generic 3PO style droid A new destroyer droid, restated, not just resculpted.
A few I'd like not to see; a base Stormtrooper Jawa Rodian Battle droid's of many varieties. Trandoshen and anything that is resculpted,. This is not a set for resculpt releases, it should be all new, restat or brand new for the final set, no uggie demo's no mouse droids (sorry people, I know you want them, but what would you perfer, them taking up a slot or something new instead? After all there will be players dumping there sets and you should be able to get theres.)
A few abilites I'd like to see one last time around; Lightsaber precison Black Sun Blaster Barrage Overwhelming Force Voondum ( I know it's spelled wrong) Crab Armor Sniper Heal Affinity on a bunch of guys
A few I don't ever need to see again; Evade Mobile Attack Greater Mobile Attack

I agree with most of your 4 choices. Pellaeon, C'Boath and Shimrra really need to make an appearance. As to the 4th I'd actually want to get a Jedi Knight version of Jacen Solo (pre-caedus).
The vong could use an upgrade too. Voxyn and an actual Vong Slayer would be highly appreciated.

Well we're definetly getting pre-borg Grievous, Mace Windu, and Han Solo. It also looks like we're getting Arden Lyn (from the side of the package). I'm hoping for either Sharad Hett (but there's no way), Malakili, Gallandro (also unlikely), Boss Nass, Mon Mothma (Rebel), Oppo Rancisis, Darth Maul (Sith), or Sora Bulq. If we get another Luke, I'd love to see a Moisture Farmer Luke in poncho, hat, goggles, and with his rifle.
I'd be happy if two of any of those made it in. But the set's already made, right? I think somebody put up a pic of an Anakin ghost somewhere on ebay. Not too thrilled about that...

I'd like to see more Mandalorians in combat gear rather than the mercanary look.

If I could have a say, I'd make Warlord Zsinj one of my picks. I've got a soft spot for the Allston X-Wing books, and since we can't get (m)any Wraiths (and Adumar stuff is unlikely as well since there's not much there to build off of for the uniques), I'd go for the villain of the group.
I'm probably in the vast minority in this, but I've also thought it might be humorous to get, in a vast change from all the other variations on Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, to maybe get a fringe slave kid Anakin from Episode I. That would really be a take on him we haven't seen before. Though I won't hope for it to show up and take up a spot in the last set.
Also, perhaps OOM-9 (the commander droid from Episode I) in an AAT. Or just an AAT.
I guess I don't have a lot of solid thoughts on what named characters I'd like to see in the final set, if only because it's really hard to pick and choose from all the characters I'd love to see get a little miniature - a full squadron of named Rogues/Wraiths, various more obscure bounty hunters we haven't seen yet (Gorm the Dissolver comes to mind), and so very, very much more.
I do have some more thoughts on what might be nice to see in the lesser rarity departments, though. One, it would be good to see characters that help out those sub-teams that don't really work out well as a squad yet. Like a non-unique counterpart to characters like Captain Tarpels or Jar Jar to help groups like Jawas play better (but I'm probably just bias. Though I suppose that's the point here, isn't it?)

Qymaen Jai Sheelil was my number one request since ROTS came out, now it's finally (hopefully only 99% sure) happening. As for the rest I would hope to see: OR Lord Hoth Cay Qel Droma Sith Darth Desoulous Darth Ruin Darth Tyranous (with affinity to bring in force using seps) Seps Poggle the Lessor (come on please, and with ability to allow the living sep non-uniques to recieve droid commander effects and CEs, or a boost to Super battle droids) Sora Bulq Sev'rance Taan Republic Laranth Tanek (to go with Jax Pavan) Imperial Palleon Daala (with affinity for New Republic) Rebels Jan Ors (affinity for Kyle) New Republic Zekk Ben Skywalker Vong Shimrra (large size) Yammosk (as a non unique to) Mandos Canderous as Mandalore

I would love to see these guys: Kreia as Sith with floating Lightsabers -Keep the betrayal and triple attack. Add a boost to stats(HP, ATT) and more force pts/powers. Maybe a sith lightning 3? Definately drain life stays. Vaders Apprentice with crazy force and some kind of style mastery -Let's face it, the minis DO NOT do justice to this guy's power in the game. A Yoda Spirit for republic force renewal, especially similiar to Sidious Hologram. :) -Maybe CE: Characters with a Force rating within 6 squares gain FR 1.? Captain Onasi, for OR with good CEs in the area of activations(Like Dodonna 1 0r 2) and giving ranged CEs double their range. (12 instead of 6 squares). -Also make him a good shooter, Cunning +20, Twin, JH, GMA. Just make him point balanced. Would be a great fix for OR.
Also, I think Jango Fett deserves a better mini considering we have a ton of great Boba's already. Something with Flight, double twin, GMA, evade, BH+4, Accurate+Sniper. Just an all around BA shooter for like 60pts. Heck maybe even Jolt would be cool.
I think I just loved the video games all too much..haha..

Wow sad to see this game go (I've been playing since Clone Strike). I'm gonna state four characters that already have minis and my four 1st ever mini's that I would love to see. So here we go Jaina Solo Sword of the Jedi (Mando affinity) Boba Fett with Green Lightsaber Plo Koon Jedi Master Cade Skywalker (Adult Cade but more of a Melee Piece) Celeste Mourne Ben Skywalker Supreme Overlord Shimira Darth Zannah Wishful Thinking for most. Again such a shame that such a great game is over. Here's hoping the community will keep it going

Jaina Sword of the Jedi Ganner Rhysode Admiral Saul Karrath. with a good sith ce like a def boost of +4 to followers within 6 that would help the sith out a lot. any nonunique vong pieces they dont need uniques just more options besides the same hunter/scout/shaper/priest combos.

Well i would say if they were gonna make a new force spirit & if it were to be for republic then i would say make Qui-Gon, Force spirit, making a Yoda one or Ani i would think since they died during the rebel era then they would be for those factions that were around then, i think Qui-Gon Force Spirit for republic would be better because he was mentioned right there when the republic was about over & seems like Yoda was in contact with him before the fall of the Republic..
Also i would love to see a Jaina Solo, Sword Of The Jedi for NR yes with Mando Affinity. I know see didnt spend much time on mandalore or whatever but she did go & stay with Boba to train to let go of her feelings to fight Jaceon.
So saying that i would like to these 4.
Qui Gon Ginn, Force Spirit - Republic Jaina Solo, Sword Of The Jedi - New Republic Lowbacca - New Republic Some type of R2-D2 - New Republic
