Edit: I think something along these lines will change the meta. Pure shooter squads will have to include some melee interference and/or direct damage.
I think Morrigan Corde will be very popular. She's solid already, this will push her to the forefront.
Stuff I want to mess around with:
Sylvar - Furious Burst 20 is a pretty useful tool for OR.
Obi/Ani - I think at least that they'll force shooter squads to mutate a bit (Morrigan Corde will be huge)
Bria Tharen/Crimson Fury - really good swarm squad. They can get Vander's CE too, so they're fast and hitting hard against adjacents. They can pick up twin easily in Rebels as well.
Luke Red 5 - very good cheap shooter. You might see him with a Tier 2 movement breaker like Dash or Chopper.
Lando - I think there's some potential with 48 point Luke getting access to Evade. Will fit in with Wedge and Han well too.
Aves - I don't know how good he'll be - might depend on what else happens to the meta. At 29 points he's certainly not a silver bullet, but if he gets popular it makes things tough for popular squads like Thrawn and Naboo deathshots.
Mando Pilot/Squadron Leader - pretty solid mid-cost shooters.
Kanan Jarus - beefy shooter with built in evade? Sweet.
Chopper - I'm not sure if he'll be Tier 1 at 20 points, but new movement breaker helps the other Lukes (Hero of Endor, Red 5) to see some play.
