Sullustans and Duros, thats my expectation.

But, Weequay is actually more likely when I think about it. Theyare veryhumanoid, they are extremely common and may potentially have a fair amount of variation.
I think Chissshould be saved for a later expansion/publish, and Falleen has very little restriction, it has a few qualities about the species that could be consideredtilted to there favour, or hard to impliment; there mood skin for example. Essentially they would become the Entertainer template too, since they supposedly have automatic attractiveness to the opposite sex etc.

What I would love to see in future is:

Iktotchi - They are humanoid, look interesting but with the downside of the Horns that would need a Twilek type adjustment to helmets/hats. They have excellentPiloting skills and a inate prescient abilty which could transfer to dodge mods(ref Jedi MasterSaesee Tiin)
Kel-Dor - Humanoid, look cool. They wear a filter mask to breathe, but this could in fact be a point of variance, and you could pick a filter from many variations. As well aspicking head nodule shapes. Species has better senses and is a martial species.(ref Jedi Master Plo Koon)

Nautolan - Love this species. Definitelya problem with hats and helmets though. Unless the tendrils are treated like Hair, which seems a bit of a stretch? Maybe if we ever have an underwater publish expansion this will be the included species??(ref Jedi KnightKitt Fisto)
Cerean - basically human with a taller head structure. Again with the Helmet problems though...George your making it hard. (ref Jedi Knight-MasterKi-Adi-Mundi)
Whiphid - They are afurrythick setrace with strange faces, but they look kinda cool. They could basically wear all the wookie garb, if not regular clothes with exception to gloves and boots. (ref Clone Wars Cartoon - last ep, Big facedJedi Master that Grevious kills)

I hope that one of them is version 2 of Wookiee. You know, the one from the movies that can actually kick some tail!

I disagree with the comment that Sullustans are Asians, their language is completely taken from a cultural story in Africa. It says so in the Galactic Phrasebook anyway my guesses are Sullustan and Duros

Duros are amajor industrial force in the Galaxy and that might give them an advantage asartisans. They are also among the oldest space-faring peoples in the galaxy, their entire society evolved around spaceflight, and they helped blaze the hyperspace routes for trade throughout the galaxy. They might have bonuses as pilots and artisan skills for droid engineering and shipcrafting. They also have a lot of shipyards in their system.

Sullustans have an enhanced sense of direction which makes them great pilots, the SoroSuub company is a giant corporation that controls Sullust, 50%of sullustans work for it. It was taken over by the Empire but many Sullustans left to help the Rebs.

Nope

I hope it will introduce grans as a playable species, the other will most probably be sullistans.

otherinteresting species would be: Aqualish, Bith, and Duros

I hope weequays arn't in it (they are really ugly) and chiss also.... Ithorians would be good but they won't add them due to armor problems ....also nohgri would be cool but they are unknown to everyone but the empire until after the civil war..

NO WAY will ithorians be a pc race.. if you know about them at all they are a INHERENTLY PACIFISTIC race

they do not fight ... ever what do every kewl dood and his brother leroy do? fight.

you cannot make the race unless you hard code an iniability to learn combat skills. just doesnt make sense

although the droid suggestion kinda rocks! id love to play an r-2 unit

I think Sullustians and Weequay will be what they add.

Bith would be good as well. I feel that these are the 3 best possibilities. Nym was a pilot, so Weequay looks like a good way to go, and Sullustians just because everybody knows that it's going to happen.

I hope that for at least one of the new species, the Devs stray a little bit from the classic humanoid form..something different from the bi-peddal species we have now..how about something like a Dug or like a Watu (the junk dealer thing from Phantum Menace).

Not that SWG follows te Expanded Universe, but don't all Weequay's have the same name? If I remember right Weequay simply means "sun follower" and all members of the species use that as their names.

Anyway, my guess for species are Sullustan (virtually a lock) and Bith.

As cool as some of the other species would be (my pick would be Ithorian), I think we are stuck with the bipedal humanoids for now.

Also when Bamasi said "later this summer", he was talking about the announcement about the species, not the release date for JTL.

As for ithorians, I doubt the devs will use that race because like someone said elsewhere, how will they play musical instruments? They have two mouths, so kinda hard, heh.
