All of these are subject to change, but I wanted to collect them in one place for you all.

Yoda and Maul are getting blocks
We're looking at the overall functionality of Boba Fett's jetpack
We're looking at adjusting Yoda's and Vader's jumps
A lot of bug fixes
Reducing the effectiveness of Yoda's Presence on troopers (while still keeping it useful)
Improving Chewbacca's Charge Slam (also looking at his overall health should adjustments be required)
Vader and Maul not being able to be pushed while Choking enemies
Grievous not being able to be pushed while using Unrelenting Advance
Anakin's Passionate Strike won't knock you down
Reducing the range of Anakin's Pull Dominance
Currently looking at the range of Anakin's Retribution
Investigating passive Health on Kill for heroes

As always, let us know if you have any feedback on these or other things!

What do you mean by functionality on Boba’s jetpack? Are you looking at improving how responsive it is or changing the way it works?

This one is still in early development, so nothing I can share on it at this time (I actually genuinely don't know what they're cooking up there).

How will yoda's block work? I hope you keep his current one still, as i really like how it looks and works now.

also, i hope you make sure the jetpack changes don't make it less fun to use just for balancing. last game, it felt too slow and limited, and it's much better now.

Current block is staying but he'll also be able to use his lightsaber against other lightsabers to my knowledge.

That's a little confusing, so like is it gonna be combined with Unleash or will you be able to switch between them?

When a blaster bolt comes in, the current block is used. When fighting in lightsaber combat, the new one will take over. TBD, though. It's still in flux.

Does this mean that maybe we'll get some blocking animations?

Most likely, yeah. Again, TBD on what we decide to do.
