Nothing good ever came out of never putting them through the wringer once in a while, eh? XD 

I agree, it would be very nice to introduce some more of the canon cast from the other storylines, while it's been nice building our own thing too it is kinda strange to have them ALL just vanish like that without explaining where/what they were doing, especially the non-Force users that wouldn't have been wiped out by Bracknell and Soto the first time :D  

I did indeed start angling towards Revan when Manus mentioned looking for two specific people (I figured it was Revan and the Exile, actually haha), and I think that would be a veeeeryyy good next plot point indeed! :D Big ol' yes to all of that, this is gonna be soo awesome! *slight fangirl squealing* xD
