Jawa Engineer looks like he will bring the droids back to top tier possibly. 153 speed plus 10 per droid or Jawa on unique. Special that gives crit chance up and 45% turn meter, and second special that revives a fallen droid, then heals whole team 30%.
At level 80 I want to try HK lead, 88, 86, 100, JE. JE should have at least 193 speed, he goes giving crit up and filling turn meters allowing everyone else to go at 193 speed. HK, 88, and 100 all do aoes, with just two crits, they go again, possibly crit ting again and filling half meter. Lots of possible debuffs and turn meter reduction. 100 gets speed and offense up right away. 86 calls an assist and if the assisted is droid (75%), they can crit and fill turn meter. Multiple turns for everyone before enemy has a turn. Looks a bit op, but easily countered by an anti droid team.

Perhaps vulnerable to anti-Droid teams, but looks like this is their answer to super defense heavy teams intended to burn the clock down to a draw on defense, after the protection update. That much firepower would certainly cut through heavy D, pretty handily.
I think devs finally figured out a very important aspect of this game, that players are all too familiar with...every great/op team needs a counter team, for balance. There should never be any single team that can just win all the time. Any/every combination of characters needs a weakness, and we should have to choose the right team to exploit that weakness, not just use the same team all the time.

Yeah, I am hoping we are moving to fully synergized teams. Droids synergize with Geonosians and Jawas, but are countered by jawas. I hope to see more fully synergized teams and cross synergies. Would also like to see a paper scissor rock situation that requires multiple teams to stay competitive eventually.
Swgoh.gg is also showing data mined info for a new Geonosian toon, that's another addition to a possible droid/Jawa/geo cross synergy.

I saw that and am excited. And thanks for this info on the JE, cptcaveman. I know what toons I'll be working on next, after my current defense team is done. I like to develop a different team each month. Fortunately, my Droids and Jawas are in pretty decent shape already.
Btw, I can't look at your name without saying "Captain Caaaaaavemaaaaaaan!!!" Every time in my head, hahaha!

Conflicted about JE. A lot of anti-synergies in his kit:
1. Droids will move before Poggle which means they won't have Offense up when they fire off their initial burst
2. At L80, max gear with HK lead, droids will pretty much be critting all the time anyways so Crit Up is redundant
Also having a TD in place of a basic attack isn't thrilling either
