Cmon, Marvel and Star Wars are both owned by Disney. You guys already have your foot in the door... Cash in on the craze!!

On the surface, sounds fun. But, I don't think it would work with their current business model of continually churning out character after character. Star Wars doesn't have as many characters to draw from, at least not ones that would be meaningful to a wide audience. Marvel has 78 years and has published thousands upon thousands of comics. Star Wars has to draw from three movie trilogies, plus a few notable mainstream stories like Rogue One.

The Lego Star Wars games had this problem. They had over 100 characters, but once you got past the main cast like Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, you quickly were in the weeds with B and C tier characters that you didn't care about unlocking one bit. Oni Jass? Wi'Ba Tuyll? PZ-4CO? Blass Tyran? I have no idea who any of these are. I mean, you can make arguments for because an awesome actor made a fairly unremarkable character in the story more memorable (Mace Windu comes to mind). But, can you name any other minor Jedi council members? I can't.

2* Han Solo (Hoth Gear)
3* Han Solo (Carbonite Statue)
4* Han Solo (Nerf Herder)
5* Han Solo (It's not my fault!)

1* Yoda (Jedi Master)
2* Yoda (Youngling Teacher)
3* Yoda (Clone Wars Ninja)
4* Yoda (Force Apparition)
5* Yoda (Crazed Hermit)

1* Leia (Hair Bun Princess)
2* Leia (Jabba's Captive)
3* Leia (Bounty Hunter disguise)
4* Leia (Endor Gear)

Yaddle. The female Yoda. And then there's the big forehead guy. If I saw his name, I'd be like, "Oh yeah..." Googling "big forehead jedi council" tells me he's Ki-Adi-Mundi. Oh yeah.

It is because of the name alone that I always remember Kit Fisto.

They manage to make it work in a game like SW Galaxy of Heroes because you are picking a squad of 5, so rounding out a squad of Jedi or clones with a more generic character like a Jedi Consular or a Clone Sergeant is fine since it is there for the synergy.

On the other hand, they do not seem to be as keen on churning out loads of variants for the bigger names, in a SW MPQ those four plus the likes of Vader, Kenobi, R2D2, C3PO etc would contribute half a roster on their own, even before you got into areas such as Rogue One, the cartoons or the old republic era games.
