User blog:John'Zero'Smith/Battlefront Dice: Melee Units

First off, this is NOT about what IS in the game, just what I think and you guys think should be in the game. The specific topic is Melee units. Several of the Star Wars games have had melee units, mainly Jedi Heroes. What if there was a playable melee unit? Several previous games have had melee units. The Force Unleashed I and II have had Imperial Heavy Troopers and Imperial Riot Troopers respectively. Both armed with electro staves, they were melee. In both games, Starkiller, a.k.a Galen Marek was armed with one and later two Lightsabers. Basically, he was a close range combatant. The Magnaguard makes several appearances throughout Star Wars media, most of the time armed with an Electrostaff. Basically. They're Melee units. In the Revenge of the Sith game, the Republic utilises Clone Assassins. A melee unit. The Empire has two. Which comes to my main point. Which would they have? Heavy troopers or Riot troopers?

On a side note. The Rebellion. Which would they have? My brother says a type of Wookiee, I agree with him. But I want to know what you guys think. Let me know in the comments below. This is NOT a debate on whether or not melee units should be in the game, this is just a query on, if they were in the game, which units would they be?

The Republic: Clone Assassins? Senate Guard on Coruscant? (TBD)

CIS: Magnaguards

The Empire: Imperial Heavy Troopers or Imperial Riot Troopers?

The Alliance to Restore the Republic (Rebellion) : Wookiee with Ryyk Blades, Rebel Honour Guard on Yavin 4, Alderaan, etc. (I spell Honor with a U because I'm Aussie.)

Heavy Trooper or Riot Trooper? Heavy Trooper Riot Trooper
