It's way more likely they recast wedge and biggs and porkins for one of their spinoff movies than they bring more old fart actors back for episodes eight or nine. A series of red squadron pre-yavin antics movies would be way cooler anyways. e: hell bring back general moustache from rogue one too for that

Denis Lawson, who played Rebel ace Wedge Antilles in the original trilogy, has confirmed that he turned down the chance to return in the upcoming Star Wars sequel. Speaking at a screening of his new movie, The Machine, Lawson said "they asked me but it just would have bored me."

Throw more money at him and I'm sure his wallet would outweigh his utter boredom of being Wedge fuckin Antilles for at least one more day. I mean even his nephew Ewan McGregor went in for like an hour just for a half second voice line in TFA. Chill la Chill posted:Also who cares we need Poooorkins to show up as a clone.

That we still haven't heard about a "Heroes of Scarif" / "Scarif Garrison" or similar expack yet now that Rogue One is days away from home release is kind of strange but I've honestly never really understood how FFG decides what to make into an expansion and when to release them. canyoneer posted:Not as bad as the guy commenting the World's stream saying "Call-uh-nell Vessery' Oh man, I had forgotten about that.

They could be waiting for later this weekend/Monday, since Rogue One releases in stores on Tuesday. I know Sunday is the day that Target gets ready for new stuff to put up, so maybe then? At this point though, I really kind of doubt it. I get the distinct feeling that FFG has moved on from the T-65, no matter how much I want that to not be true.

Game development takes a long time, and FFG likely didn't have much more insight into the events of Rogue One than we did, aside from the few tidbits they got for the U-Wing and Striker. Heroes of the Resistance is the obvious example to follow, and I could easily see a Rogue One expansion getting announced this summer if it fits into FFG's planned release schedule. Edit: For reference, Heroes of the Resistance was announced May 4th last year for a late October release. Acebuckeye13 fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Apr 1, 2017 |

And then the Imperials of Scarif set would have the Delta-class T-3c shuttle, a special TIE Striker, and a Director Krennic crew card.

They could break their longstanding rule and just put new pilots for the U-wing in a theoretical R1 box. And some Y-wings with an EPT. Maybe PS4 at 21 points? I don't know points values other than PS being generally worth a point each.

Well hot drat, you learn something new every day. Yeah he would still have been hosed though. At least it's not as bad as "The red number on your card is the dice you roll to shoot AND THE RANGE YOU CAN SHOOT AT," which is something one of my friends apparently thought when we first started playing together. You think TIEs suck now, imagine TIEs that can't shoot out to range 3, not to mention some sort of taped-together Rube Goldberg range ruler for those ships like the Phantom who fired out to RANGE 4. Yes, if you have 4 red dice you get to shoot all 4 of them halfway across the board!  quote:Sorry, your drunken night of fun X-wing is considered null and void, you'll have to start over.

I lost a bet (£5) when FFG didn't release a T-65 expansion to go along with Rouge One but I still hold out hope for Rebel Veterans to match Imperial Veterans (Like Rebel Aces and Imperial Aces). Will contain a T-65 X-Wing and fix and E-Wing and fix. I mean goddammit FFG no one is going to complain if you make X-Wings OP. Everyone loves X-Wings.

Im assuming if they ever do another X-wing set it'll be when they're finally introduced on the Rebels tv show. Supposedly theres gonna be an episode showing the battle of scariff from the shows characters POV so I can see them waiting for that to announce it. Maybe alongside some other Ghost stuff like the phanton 2.0

StashAugustine posted:I too want tactician stresshogs My guess is that they'd go the route of making the hypothetical crew upgrade a BTL-S3 title, negating that potential combo. My personal wishlist is that they make Keyan Farlander a Y-Wing Pilot, since his ability stacked with R3-A2 would be extremely nasty. dogsarentdangerous posted:I lost a bet (£5) when FFG didn't release a T-65 expansion to go along with Rouge One but I still hold out hope for Rebel Veterans to match Imperial Veterans (Like Rebel Aces and Imperial Aces).

They could just release one of the 6 or whatever other varients of its design if FFG wants to buff it. I don't imagine Scum players need it or are really clamoring for it to be improved though.

Graz the Hunter is one of the worst pilots in the game though sheer mediocrity. I've seen them mentioned as the Scum X-wings but they're definitely not even in that range.Also, give us Scum X-wings FFG.

Cartel Marauders are really good for their points but the points scale up way too fast as you climb the pilot skill scale. If I want to throw five dice at range one I'd rather take Zuckuss (assuming I'm already using Fenn Rau).

I've just started to get into this game with a mate. We're playing with no upgrades until we've got the hang of the basic rules / piloting. My list yesterday was 3 x B-Wings and Poe Dameron. It's a pretty basic jousting list and I normally scoot Poe around and behind his stuff to pick off aces. Played two games, first time he had 2 x IG-2000's and 2x Z95's and 2nd time he had 4 x TIE's and 3 named ties - Howlrunner, Dark Curse and someone else. Both times I beat him without losing a ship, any ideas for a list that could beat mine ? It's still fun playing but we're saying that the winner keeps his list til getting beaten so I'd like to help him out with some suggestions. I suggested maybe some 2x Defenders and 2x Interceptors to take advantage of my terrible mobility. Beaucoup Haram fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Apr 2, 2017 |

Use Ig-88 B and C, each with Heavy Laser Cannon, Title, Fire Control Systems, Crack Shot, Autothrusters, and Glitterstim. You probably don't have all those cards, so just print out a list online. Have him run that.

If you're at a level where you can play B-wings and T-70s against a TIE Swarm, you're at a point where you can use upgrades.

I get that and I feel pretty comfortable with it but he has played less games and is not great yet at knowing where moves will take him, and we'd like to have a few more games so he can get the hang of movements and formations before I start looking up killer strategies with ship upgrades.

So just by accident (picking the ships I had and liked the look of) I've ended up with a squad that's the best there is playing without upgrades ? That's pretty hilarious, and if that's the case then yes I'll just change my list instead. Was just hoping there was something we hadn't thought of to counter it.
