It's a known fact that government officials only give a fuck when it directly affects them. I bet EA thought a loser gamer would never be elected into a position of responsibility.

"We can't fill the lootboxes with cosmetic items, that would violate the majority of what's canon. How about we just go the P2W route instead."

Lol, hiding behind "but my lore!".
Pretty weak excuse when you can have Darth Vader leading the Separatists against Rey's Clone battalion on Naboo.
Sorry I just had a horrible vision of an army of Rey clones.
Not only this, but at one point in the past, there actually was a White Darth Vader in the comics.

Dat be rayciss Durth Vadda is black! We wuz sith and shieeeeet!
It's interesting that you pointed out something from the Legends, DICE could pull some of the outfits from that continuity as throwback costumes for the Heroes if cosmetic microtransactions are introduced. Could be stuff like damaged Vader from The Force Unleashed or even Life Day robes for Chewie for shits & giggles.Not only this, but at one point in the past, there actually was a White Darth Vader in the comics.
Might not adhere to current canon, but neither does having every Hero available for all eras, so...
"People don't want a pink Vader."
Bullcrap. Speaking from experience with Planetside again, but a lot of players love joke gear. Pink camo is one of the most popular in Planetside, mainly because tryhards get irrationally angry about being killed by someone wearing pink and driving a bright pink tank that makes toilet flush noises when the driver presses the horn.
It's almost like video games are mean to be fun or something.

You mean "10th reskin of old armour" ?
They're missing fantastic opportunities, who wouldn't want:
- Burnt Anakin Darth Vader
- Old Man Solo
- Maskless Crying Kylo Ren
- Luke Skywalker covered in tauntaun guts
- Headless Jango Fett

I might as well have also mentioned that EA isn't stopping with their crappy lootbox systems.

Don't forget this shit with Dead Space 3's Mass Effect armor:
Love how they refuse to stop until the government forces them to stop or slow down through gambling legislation; because they clearly aren't going to self regulate.

Apparently it will take $4000 worth of loot boxes to make C.M. Punk viable in the ring.
Looks like they already have the menu for skins in game, just turned it off, and then said it was "impossible"
Guess skins were step 2 after the loot boxes stopped making money.

What?
Off the type of my head, here's some costume ideas for Luke:
- Tatooine Moisture Farmer
- Rebel Pilot
- Hoth clothes (maybe he wears this one in the Hoth map)
- Dagobah outfit
- Jedi Knight (the all-black outfit he wore in Return of the Jedi)
- Super-ultra-rare-outfit: Old Luke
Shit EA, there's 6 different cosmetics for one hero right there!
This is my favorite bit of Star Wars canon.
