Like you pointed out, there are so many important charcters from the movies who still need figures, and the upcoming Episode VII is going to introduce SOOO many new characters as well.
And even though Aayla had brief appearances in Episodes II and III, there are plenty of other Jedi who are featured more prominently in the movies who I would imagine would get figures first.

Also, now that the previous EU has been basically eradicated to make way for the new Disney-approved EU, and because Disney has largely shown nothing but animosity towards the Clone Wars, those characters have an even smaller chance of ever being made. But, oh well... maybe if the Black series continues well into the new Trilogy, maybe Hasbro will give us a wave of currently out-of-continuity characters. Lol, I'm not gonna get my hopes up though.

I would like to see a Durge in 6" scale, but it's probably not gonna happen. I find it upsetting to a degree that so much is now officially non-canonical, I always kind of disregarded the post-ROTJ stuff in preparation that one day they might make a new movie which would erase all of that but all I'm gonna miss from the post-ROTJ stuff is Thrawn and Boba Fett's ongoing stuff (though they could still have Boba Fett return from that less than favorable "death" they gave him). What I will miss being for sure canon is Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars and some of what happened in Filoni's too, but really Genndy's version was the perfect bridge from AOTC to ROTS. I still think KOTOR is arguably canon unless the new movies somehow directly counter it, but what reason could the new movies have to go thousands of years before even the prequel trilogy to counter anything from KOTOR? Another thing, George Lucas signed off on saying that The Force Unleashed was the official and canon bridge between ROTS and ANH story, he was also directly involved with both Clone Wars shows (more so with the original). I would say unless anything in the new movies directly contradicts The Force Unleashed or the original Clone Wars, those could be argued as still canon. I still don't know how to factor Filoni's show though, even though I liked it a decent amount, the concept of Anakin having a padawan at all felt non-canonical itself since the movies make it sound like only a master can train a padawan but in ROTS he bitches about not being a master.

I've ranted too much already. General point: I'd like to see some EU/non-canonical/debatable canon characters get 6" toys but not until the movies get fair treatment first.
