5 Clone Wars Characters Fans Desperately Want in Star Wars Zero Company Now

by

Fans were thrilled when Electronic Arts announced their collaboration with developer Bit Reactor for the game titled “Star Wars Zero Company“. Notably, this new studio consists of experienced developers who have previously worked on successful strategy games like XCOM and Civilization. The fact that “Zero Company” is shaping up to be an XCOM-like game set during the Clone Wars era only heightened the anticipation among fans. At present, details about “Star Wars Zero Company” are scarce, but we do know that it features a new character named Hawks, who was once a Republic officer. This character is leading a group of unlikely heroes on what appears to be an insurmountable mission. While Bit Reactor might focus on introducing new characters as the main cast, it’s possible that some beloved Clone Wars characters could make an appearance too.

As the precise timeline for Star Wars Zero Company isn’t clearly defined yet, it’s uncertain which characters from The Clone Wars may still be alive. With this uncertainty, we’ve selected characters who survived that era of Star Wars lore. Consequently, some fitting characters like Savage Opress and Fives are not part of the following list. Here’s our hopeful lineup for Star Wars Zero Company.

The Bad Batch

It’s tempting to say that the entire Bad Batch could potentially be included in Zero Company, making them strong candidates for featuring there. In many aspects, it seems strange that a game based on the Bad Batch hasn’t already been made, considering how well they would fit into a strategy game similar to XCOM.

Although a Bad Batch game may not be materializing as some fans may hope, they can still appear in “Zero Company”. Maybe it’s a mission where the Batch becomes part of your squad or you compete against them to accomplish a goal. Bit Reactor should seize this excellent chance not to miss out on this opportunity.

Cad Bane

In various roles, Bane can fulfill whatever demands the creators might have. He excels at crafting captivating battles against established characters and can effortlessly deliver an unsettling alliance that ultimately leads to betrayal.

Not only is his arsenal of skills exciting to experiment with in turn-based combat, but it’s also intriguing to watch in the debut trailer where characters maneuver using jetpacks and tactically utilize their gear for an edge. Taking things up a notch, Bane’s expertise as an elite bounty hunter could elevate these strategies even further.

Rex

It’s unlikely that Force-users such as Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi will appear in Zero Company. While it’s possible, Bit Reactor seems to be focusing on creating a fresh narrative, suggesting that the cameos might involve less familiar characters instead.

Considering this, Rex stands out as a valuable character from the “Clone Wars” series who isn’t an extremely powerful Jedi. While he certainly has fighting prowess, introducing him wouldn’t have the same dramatic impact on the game’s dynamics as some of the more potent Jedi characters mentioned previously.

Hondo Ohnaka

Hondo shares some similarities with Cad Bane, as he seems to be a versatile character who could pop up anywhere across the galaxy and offer aid to Hawks and their crew. However, this assistance may just as easily land Hawks in jail as result in a favorable outcome, making Hondo an intriguing character that Bit Reactor could create engaging stories around.

In any case, Hondo offers a dash of humor with his unconventional bargains and unusual charm that’s hard to resist. You might also recruit Hondo, the rogue Weequay pirate, along with Bane, adding an extra dose of fun to your team in Bit Reactor.

Darth Maul

Although we initially assumed Bit Reactor might bypass potent Force users like Maul, we’re making an exception due to his significant growth in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. Given that developers are seeking a compelling Jedi or Sith character for interaction, Maul stands out as the top choice.

Additionally, Maul is slated for a new animated series titled “Shadow Lord“. Similar to “Zero Company“, this show will premiere in 2026. It would be strategic for Bit Reactor and Electronic Arts to capitalize on this by promoting cross-platform engagement, encouraging fans to engage with both the game and the show. Opportunities like these don’t come along often, so it’s wise for the publisher to leverage them.
