I still support this, even if it's just a tiny reduction.

This would allow mission contexts where the Jedi have to fight against gunners to be more approachable, considering that at the present time the speed of running forward and backward are very similiar, which makes it rather hard to reach a gunner who runs backward and shoot at you.
This would be immensely useful. Besides, if you try sprinting backwards and then try sprinting forwards in real life, I can garentee you'll not reach half the speed backwards as you would forwards.

Why just gunners, exactly?

I presume bceause we don't want to tamper with duelling. But then again, I wouldn't be opposed to a decrease in speed for the Jedi, either.

I'd personally be much happier to change the backpedal speed of a specific "class" rather than doing it for everyone.

Is there an echo in here?

I find it rather odd to apply logic sporadically in this regard. Its reasonable for a gunner to move slowly backwards, yet it is not for a saber-wielder?

For the sake of gameplay balance, sure. It's ok that not everyone might agree on it though.

You can't choose what is right

It's already been mentioned I believe. It has a significant effect on dueling.

Indeed, it also has a significant effect on gun gameplay as well.

Which I believe was the intent of the suggestion.

That's why it was being suggested as applicable to certain Classes rather than on the whole.

This way it can be controlled where needed.

Honestly, I'd rather scrap this idea and implement an aim penalty for shooting while moving period.
