MeatheadMilitia shared the official EA forums link to the Cobb Vanth kit reveal. The post on the SWGOH game info hub contains the full ability and stat breakdown for the upcoming character.
Asked whether he created the Cobb Vanth kit because the reveal post uses first-person language, MeatheadMilitia replied that the "I" in the reveal is the in-house designer speaking, not him. He confirms he was not the kit designer.

Meathead confirmed what replaces the New Marquee shard rewards on the Episode 2 Pass. The pass will instead grant 20 shards each of Night Trooper, Death Trooper (Peridea), and Captain Enoch. Some Zinbiddle Cards and Impulse Detectors were rearranged to fit, but their totals are unchanged.
