They need to be so careful with Rapport as well, make sure that they don't make a mistake somewhere. You can already have Wookie Freedom Fighters in Imperial squads, if they keep making more Rapports available how long before the faction rules are a mere inconvenience?
Synergy though I am all for
I think you mean affinity since that's what lets you bypass the faction rules. And Gree brings in the Wookiees with a CE.
You're right that they need to be careful, though, about that. With rapport, it doesn't make a huge difference right now and for the most part, it helps out characters that probably don't see much play anyway.
I'm hoping they bring rapport up another notch and we see more of the super rapport, but only to encourage certain themes and combos. Synergy is a great ability, and I would definitely like to see more of that. Both are great ways to get more out of older pieces as well, especially since players like myself are always going to make those pairings anyway - like Luminara and Barriss.
If you want to look at it another way with regards to Obi JM's CE and Anakin, there are times where Anakin just went off on his own anyway, despite his Master's warnings, which sometimes got him in trouble. So the CE would get disrupted in that manner...
