With the huge diversity of species in Star Wars, and even sentient Robots, I'm surprised that none of the new Star Wars game announcements have said anything about having a different kind of protag. Many of those are too early in development though, so time will tell.
Respawn
Jedi Order - Cal Kestis and Friends
FPS Game - ? Peter Hirschmann said he was inspired by "Dark Forces 1 and 2" and the team has many "defining SW game experiences" from when they were younger (Dark Forces 2 famously let you play as Mara Jade in an expansion, but the rest of the series is Kyle Katarn, this game of course could be anything from Republic Commando 2, some sort of Katarn revival, or some other setting/character entirely)
Strategy Game - ? Slim details, Bit Reactor contains former XCOM devs, the 'commander' is usually in affect the Player
Aspyr
KOTOR Remake - assuming it retains Character Creator (male or female), this is probably a given
Ubi-Soft
Open World Game - ? Guessing choose-able protags Male/Female like Assassin's Creed
Amy Hennig/Sky-Dance
Action-Adventure - ? There was some leak of some other prototype that sounded like Star Wars: Uncharted with Nathan Drake in Space
Quantic Dream
Action-Adventure-Narrative (Eclipse) - ? Unknown protag, unless one of the many characters shown in the cgi-cinematic is the main
