at the same time Bail exists in the time of the classic trilogy until Alderaan is destroyed and obviously they would base it off the only actor who played him in any of the movies.

Watch a Let's Play of The Force Unleashed. Bail Organa is a major figure in that game, and he is very much portrayed in Jimmy Smits' likeness. The Force Unleashed takes place only a couple years prior to the trilogy, making it a reasonable inclusion in this quasi-continuity thing they've got going for the card game.

OMG I just realized I can never play this again I played a deck that destroyed the timeline and it's in the core set- Obi Wan and Ewoks! That is impossible and makes no sense NERRRDRRRAGEE

Cards like Guardian of the Peace, Twi'lek Loyalist, and some of the other generic jedi are clearly prequel-era cards in my eyes.  Those characters would all be dead by OT-era times.  I think that's proof enough that you could introduce prequel material to this game without creating nightmare rules issues, and without leading to a player/fanboy revolt.

I disagree, those cards represent people still loyal to the ideals of the Old Republic and the Jedi Order but are not actual Jedi themselves and are not prequel era cards. We have not seen any prequel stuff yet and if we ever do it is not for a while yet.

Not necessarily Jar Jar, but definitely a Gungan. I don't know; I just prefer to not think of the worst character in the Star Wars saga as sharing an objective set with Han.

"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

That's one way to interpret those cards, and of course we're all perfectly entitled to our own interpretations, but that's just what they are, interpretations.  I may think they they are prequel cards, while you think they are OT-era cards, but we don't know for sure.  The point is, FFG could come out tomorrow and say that those cards ARE prequel era cards, and then boom there are prequel cards in SWLCG, and have been since Day 1.  And things would continue on normally and we'd all still continue playing.  So bring on the gungans I say!

Emperor Palpatine and Yoda are both featured quite strongly in the Prequels, to say nothing of Obi-Wan, but nobody has mentioned these yet!

Guardian of Peace looks suspciously like the Dark Woman to me, and while she is a prequel-era figure, she's eventually killed by Vader sometime around the Galactic Civil War (if that Tales story is to be believed). But so many Jedi have survived into the Dark Times and beyond that it's hard to see just how effective Order 66 actually was. Given the artwork on the specific cards mentioned, though, they are wearing Jedi robes strongly reminiscent of the prequel-era Jedi, which does argue strongly that they are 'prequel-era cards', but unless we get cards that are specifically 'Mace Windu' or 'Qui-Gon Jinn', I don't think it'll take too much imagination to see that they are all meant to be Jedi in Hiding, but have been given different labels and artwork to make the game a touch more interesting. 

Personally, I would quite like to see K'kruhk, Ferus Olin, Shaak Ti and maybe even Quinlan Vos show up in this faction - without thinking we're branching out into the prequels.

Not only one, but Shadows of the Empire ;)

Shaak Ti would be a smooth addition. And she can stay non-prequel if she has to, because I'm very much onboard with there being a LS objective that includes a rancor.

I have a soft spot for Felucia, and I regard that whole portion of The Force Unleashed as its one redeeming feature, so would greatly appreciate seeing anything from that cropping up in this game. Maris Brood, rancors, Felucian shaman, sarlacc - oh, be still my heart! 

Exactly. It's about gameplay anyway…
