(I am closer to thirty than I am to twenty. To live is to suffer.) ConfusedUs posted:The carrier has one too. Including a mission that, if the rebels win, they get to drive the carrier in the next mission. 1) Buy a carrier. 2) Buy the Ghost on release. 3) Paint a TIE/ln in Sabine colors. 4) Play this mission as fluffy as possible. Rebelschat: This show is still pretty good, man. I still totally think Ahsoka Tano is completely going to die but Rebels is strangely weird about how it oscillates between being a show for Star Wars nerds and a show for kids who watch Disney XD. Like, the comic-relief Imperial officers get goddamned decapitated. I don't understand why Ezra gets so much flak for being ~the galaxy's specialest snowflake,~ because he behaves like a generally good-hearted but cynical teenager would act. His character arc is also cool because we see him fail and lose battles and overcome hangups and stuff. Kanan Jarrus might be one of my favorite Jedi characters ever. Hera Syndulla and Chopper are still my #1 and 2, though, in some order. quote:Aces High or quote:I Bought This Ship For The Upgrades One of these lists is going to a midnight tournament on Saturday... and I'm leaning toward the StarViper, since I'm not sure when else I'd get to use it if not when everyone is dead tired and playing like shitters. If we're not allowed to proxy upcoming cards, I'm thinking I'll go with Poe and Han for funsies.

More rebelschat: The more they develop Kanan the more I see him as a lost padawan, and less the jedi master he appeared to be at the beginning of the series, which is a good thing. Ezra is annoying, but like you said, teenagers are pretty annoying IRL, so there you go.

If nothing else the new main line and annual anthology movies, plus Rebels, are going to give this game regular hot wang injections of source material to draw from, which is good.

Finster Dexter posted:More rebelschat: Kanan is awesome precisely because he sucks at being a Jedi. He's a remnant of the glory days, a vestige, a reminder of what was once really cool and good about our galaxy of space magic, and I think some of the other characters hold him to that standard instead of who he really is - a trainee. It's not entirely unlike an army reservist being championed as this Great Hope when he barely knows what the gently caress he's doing at all. Like, when Vader shows up, he completely dunks on Kanan and Ezra combined. He's a lovely Jedi and not a very great role model at first glance, and the best part is his awareness of these factors, and how they influence his self-image. Being a lovely Jedi who is aware they are a lovely Jedi, and takes steps to shore up his weaknesses re: being a lovely Jedi, is a pretty cool character, and Kanan has grown on me a ton since the start of the show.

Deviant posted:Move the Stealth Device to Omega Leader. Hmm that's an interesting thought, but even in a triple-ace build (O, Soontir, Vader) Omega is usually the last one alive, and I sort of want to improve my chances of keeping Howlrunner around for as long as possible to make up for all the two-attack-dice Ties.

Which is also hammered home again when the two inquisitors give him and Ezra a bath, and then out of the space port walks Ashoka Tano, veteran soldier, trainee of Anakin Skywalker, frequently schooled by Kenobi, Plo Koon, Yoda, and Captain Rex, survivor of multiple battles with Sith Assassin Asajj Ventress, Droid General Grievous, infamous bounty hunter Cad Bane, Mandalorian warriors, fallen Jedi, and would-have-been Jedi Knight if not for her departure, who proceeds to take all of a minute and a half to whip them six ways from Sunday, including reaching up and simply plucking the lit sabre out of the seventh sister's hands. Also, I think a lot of the stuff in the new trailer is gonna be headspace Jedi fighting, in meditation, rather than fighting Vader herself... for now.

NTRabbit posted:Rebelschat Kanan Jarrus is a Good Character. I still think Ahsoka is doomed by canon. What's the likelihood that Vader would let his former apprentice live? imperialparadox posted:People I play against find him so annoying to attack that they usually go after everybody else first. What kind of lists do they run? Fat ship + ace escort is maybe the only conceivable list in which sticking two ships on Omega Leader to melt him isn't the go-to plan -- actually nope I think I'd still try to blow him up immediately. Like, the entire point of Omega Leader is that if he's the last ship on the board to your last ship, it is a loving nightmare

Apart from aesthetic, which you can't really argue since it's subjective, I legitimately do not get the cheering-on of the Empire sometimes. Yeah it's fiction but the Empire and First Order are literally space Nazis, so even ironically being like "gently caress Yeah Empire!" seems sketchy, depending on the person. Like some people I know who are all about the Empire I can tell it's purely a style thing, but that TIE Fighter short's comments are seriously  Also anime shipgirls are seriously the most bizarre loving trend I've ever seen, and I love me some X-Wings

I may not agree with the wars they're called upon to fight, but I still support our troopers. At the end of the day they're just kids from far flung corners of the Empire standing up for order in a galaxy that seems at times defined by chaos.

Yeah basically he was the complete opposite of guiness (probably since he didnt have to film any tatooine stuff) and really loved the whole experience. He also just refused to wear the crappy prop shoes they had for imperial officers and filmed all his scenes in slippers.

It does not apply to the Rebel Alliance in the same way "fascist Nazi analogue" applies to the Empire (because that one is actually true). The point you are trying to make is bad and wrong.
