MER Episode 12 Pre-Poll: What races do you want to see in TOR?

Now that we know all of the playable classes for The Old Republic, what kinds of playable species do you want to see? We chose five of the more common ones for you to choose from. If we missed your favorite species, leave us a note in the comment about which one you want to play!
We also want to remind everyone that episode 12 will come out just after Christmas. Zach and I are working on putting together a great year-end wrap up, hopefully joined by a couple of the Darth Hater guys, and maybe some other members of the community.

I would love to see a kel dor as a playable race. Although I am pretty sure they will have this race in there because of screenshots and gameplay with the kel dor as the character.
I would like to see Kel’dor as a playable race – Arkanian as well, but not as much as Kel’dor.
I want to see the Ithorian race available in TOR. Would make a great consular imo.
It’s really funny you guys are bringing this up because I was JUST looking up types of Star Wars Species on Wookiepedia to figure out what I might like to be for my Smuggler.
I keep coming back to Twi’Lek but I really like the idea of a Bothan smuggler, something about a smooth talking Golden Retriever who’s really good with duel pistols just seems like alot of fun.
I think the Wookie would be a great addition, rather than a companion as they are normally portrayed in most Star Wars games. Not sure how the whole Jedi – Wookie thing will work. Just a thought, could certain classes be limited to certain races or will it be open season for all?
I know what races I don’t want to see….
Pod races! get it? yeah? Who’s with me?
Horrible comedy aside, I will probably just play a human Imperial Agent. For some reason that just seems to fit for me. However, if I ever roll a Smuggler, I hope I can play Mon Cal.
Personally I wanna see Togruta! Love that race. A matriarchal race with strong force sensitivity. Perfect choice for this game.
I would love to play as a Kaleesh Bounty Hunter for my main. Which I predict will likely become playable because 1. There’s three avatars of a Kaleesh, and 2. There’s the Kaleesh companion for the Sith inquisitor: Xalek. So with that aside I’d like to see many races put in this game, because I’m planning on having a fair amount of alts. Such as a Kubaz Imperial Agent, Kel Dor Sith inquisitor, etc.
I’d like to see Kel’dor or Cerean (Ki-Adi Mundi)as playable species.
Zabrak/Iridonian for sure.
Kel’dor just look wicked, I would love to see them as a playable race. Am I the only fan of Zuckuss? I would love to see a Gand as a playable race.
Nautolans (Kit Fisto’s race) – I wanna be a purple one.
I want to see a zabrak(darth maul and agen kolar’s race).
Miraluka, Togruta or Twilek, gotta have one of the 3, preferably two of em.
Just hands down, Mon Kalamari. Who wouldn’t want to play one of those giant squids and yell “It’s a TRAP!”.
Seriously though, I’ll have to agree with Geek42 (Nailed the name by the way) in wanting to see Zabrak as a playable race although it could backfire for BioWare with everyone attempting to replicate a Darth Maul of their own.
Personally I’d love to see Rodians. Greedo has been a long time favourite of mine (Eventhough he has a very short appearance in the films) and I would just love making my own Rodian bounty hunter. One thing about this although is that the Rodians wouldn’t really suit as any Sith Class but I suppose they could be utilized as Bounty Hunters, Smugglers and Imperial Agents since they aren’t really so big with the force and melee combat.
That’s what I think!
Ubese. That is all.
I wanna see the Zabrak race that would be great!
