    Hello FFG forum users,

    For years, we've featured forums on our website as a place for our gamers to gather and share their experiences—giving a place to discuss strategy, anticipate upcoming expansions, and share homebrew rules and variants. However, in almost every case, the communities centered around these games are more active elsewhere, whether that's on other websites, in social media groups, or with dedicated Discord servers.

    We hope that you've enjoyed the use of the individual forums for our different product lines, but we have now made the decision to close down our website's forums at the end of the January.

    All forums under community.fantasyflightgames.com will be shut down on February 1, 2021. If you have content on our forums that you would like to keep, you must save it elsewhere by January 31, 2021, or it will be lost forever.

    Although we've loved having the forums on our website, we hope that you don't see this as the end of a community around a certain game. In every case, there are other players who love the same games that you do, gathering elsewhere online—this could even be the perfect chance to make some new friends.

    We've can't wait to see you out there "



    A hard blow to the community. Another thing on the list of changes I guess

    My point is no matter what they try to do, fans moan.  They complained about how Luke acted in last Jedi so they give a full Powered Luke and we get more complaints.  The creators of the content just can’t win.

    Yeah, that's life for ya, you will never please everyone 😋. 

    However I have been going to this thread after every season 2 episode and it's been 90% positive thoughts and speculations on the future. So I disagree with this thread being a whiny fans thread.

    Ugh this by thread is starting to remind me again that Star Wars fans suck.  They find so little enjoyment in something they claim to love. 

    This thread have been mostly positive and people enjoying the show. Having some issues with the series finale doesn't mean I suck and can't enjoy star wars. You don't have to love everything just because you are a fan you know. 😉

    For me it comes from the fact that this show was so good and when it suddenly felt a little mediocre it really stood out. For the series I would say it's the best live action star wars since rotj. Honorable mentions to the space battle in rouge one and the millennium falcon jakku scene in awakens.

    However having this series finale being a single episode vs a 2-part like the first season really showed. It was over quite fast and left alot of questions. I wouldn't say bad, but it felt rushed to fix every thing brought up earlier in the series. Boba, the child, dark troopers, the dark saber... everything.

    After season 1 I felt like I finally got some good star wars for a old trilogy fan and the sky was the limit. Now I wonder if this series got much juice left, they might surprise us with a bunch of new stuff in seasons 3 though. However I still had a blast with 15/16 episodes and that is saying a lot for a series like this. I would say the last 5 minutes felt rushed and that's about it. Unlike the last jedi that took a dump on the thing I love right in front of me, the season finale was just a small ***** in the beskar.

    I just don't get the whole fans can't criticise or dislike something they like. It's such a fanatical way of viewing the world IMO.

    We already know exactly what it does, and it will work pretty well. It's a fantastic ability.

    Yeah and really good with cunning. However until we see what the flaw card does we don't know. The flaw cards might interact with their contingency ability.

    Lando sculpt looks a little off, might need to some greenstuff and posing.

    Another commander around 100p, but looks like he got some fun comboing with hand and chewie, will see.

    If nothing else, rebels now have a way to get a standby token in the command phase and that is gonna be nice.

    Mandalorian is a gold standard, hopefully they aren't just throwing stuff outthere to keep disney subs and we get quality shows. Cassian movie seems like the worst idea ever though, such a bland character. 

    However looks like something for everyone here. Will be interesting to see what is good and what get's dropped.

    Ion was okey ish in the early days. Speaking as rebel player it was a good idea to being 1 or maybe 2 ion launchers despite the point and exhaust problem as rebels often ran 2-3 at-rt and at-st or multiple speeder bikes was common. Later on I noticed how often I faced empire and even rebels without any vehicles and the ion weapon became an expensive relic. 

    Ion is alot like impact where it has historically been expensive and a chance you wasted your points depending on what your opponent brings.

    With the new factions, droid trooper keyword and point decreases we have more targets for ion, but you still run the risk of facing 0 or just 1 minor target for any ion weapons you bring.

    The second problem for alot of ion weapons are infantry carried and that either makes a trooper unit splitting fire and possible facing more cover reduction or just unfocused fire on two targets along with the exhaust drawback on courage 1 or possible 2.

    I have good success with the ion rifle on the rebel landspeeder as it can combine with the rocket launcher for a unit that focuses down a vehicle, again running risk of not facing vehicles. Rebel troopers have been putting ion after ion on a at-st some matches and I have had them bounce shots on a 9wound at-st without either ion or dmg as they are screaming for an aim token they can't get when they have to recover.

    Now CIS is ofc the big target for ion, but even in a completely even faction tournament you only have 1/4 facing them. However vehicles might become a little more common and alot of rebels and republic lists will have R2 so at least ion CAN play a role.

    Ion is a common thing in the star wars games and it's often a big hit or miss and no different here. It brings some counterplay if CIS and/or vehicles becomes really strong. However with the relative low changes of facing CIS and vehicles maybe it's still a meh choice for several players.

    The main reason we have mandalorian show is that boba fett costume in Empire, might as well tip the hat. In Empire he is pretty much all he needed to be, a evil cool looking dude with a fancy ship that outsmarts Solo's trick and delivers him to Vader and then Jabba. A cool side character that makes a cool action figure. Then for some reasons he is given a pretty lame "death" in Jedi, but nostalgia about the best movie in the series is strong.

    Granted the fan service boba action montage was a little much, but hey if they give him the axe in the seasons finale (leaving slave 1 to mando since he got no ship now) as I'm predicting then at least he might get a cooler end this time around. 

    I did squee when gideon launched the dark troopers though. God I love the Kyle katarn games 😋

    Back then people knew how to suspend disbelief properly. Most movie classics from before the mid 90's would be nothing more than hot trash in the crowd reviews if released as original today...modern tech or not. At best they'd get a cult following (see the sharknado series) but not hollywood blockbuster status.

     

    Edit: Full disclosure, i fall into that crowd right now. As much as i loved seeing Asohka back, the way she dealt with the magistrates lackeys (especially the opener) felt very darkside given they appeared to be sentient and not droids.  Time will tell, it may even become part of the narrative.

    I mean Luke and the gang murdered Jabbas entire crew. Droids, slaves, interns and all just to save a drug smuggler. Granted Luke did offer a trade of 2 droids, but I can't believe they thought that would work nor that they would leave R2 there...3P0 maybe 😋.

    I remember it from the star wars commander app game. I mean it might not be the prettiest vehicle, but nothing that stands out. Also if it works in tandem with wookies as in the commander game, it can be as ugly as it wants 😋

    I dont agree with han solo's offense being "meh". he has pierce 2! just dont shoot at things with impervious or immunity to pierce.

    two red dice with sharpshooter 1, pierce 2, surge to crit, and gunslinger is pretty good. you should be able to kill 2 clonetroopers/stormtroopers in heavy cover a turn.

    hes way better at shooting than Iden Versio. she doesnt get sharpshooter or pierce or surge to crit on her repeater (without a command card). She can barely even scratch a clonetrooper unit in cover unless she burns a ton of aim tokens upgrading hits to crits with marksman.

    I also think a points cost reduction is exactly what han solo needed. the whole problem with han solo was that you had to take chewbacca and leia with him. and that cost a lot of points. now its a bit more reasonable. I still think both han and chewbacca couldve come down in points a little more though.

    If you get the gunslinger double whammy to work then yes, his offense is on par. I just have a hard time getting Han solo into a good position vs clones and empire since they got such good shooting at range 3-4 these days. With courage 2, I often find him suppressed and without double actions and then it's so hard to get the gunslinger to work. So most turns you are either moving into position or standing still killing 1 model. He also melts under concentraded fire despite uncanny luck and he get's shot alot when getting close, but he dosen't have the defence of Sabine or Luke to tank it. Granted loading him up with strict orders and e-stims + either Leia or generic officer for morale and dodge support he can make it there, but that's alot of points. 

    While I don't think Han Solo is bad, I think his real strenght is in his command cards and synergy with Chewbacca more than his gunslinger action. His point cost made him less of a point sink, but I wished they touched up his defence or morale as low profile does very little and courage 2 is really limiting. As it stand I agree they could have gone lower.

    Rebels got a lot of changes, but not all are game changing.

    Jyn feels like a really strong command choice now when she is down to 100p for courage 3. Pathfinders with their lower cost and hp on heavy is working even better with Jyn and Cassian. Sniper teams will still be top tier, but both clan wren and pathfinders are good choices in that slot.

    Wookies, commando full squad and fleets still feel meh. Sure they got a bit cheaper, but so did most other stuff as well. 

    I think the rebel troopers and veterans are more attractive choices now though, I almost never went with makes troopers before and still won prime level tournaments. Now they are cheaper and in veterans case even better. Airspeeder is perhaps not top tier, but worth it's points now IMO. 

    Interesting to see the rebels best units only getting a mild increase in tauntauns and R2. 

    GAR got hit hard, but I think they will still perform well. Empire got a mixed bag, will see if occupier transport becomes as real thing. CIS got few, but interesting point reductions and I think are the secret winner with field commander and having GAR toned down a bit.

    I think the game is in a good place now, but the amount of changes cards and points are getting high. Gonna have half my cards reprinted to avoid misunderstandings.

    On what board is someone fielding a tank or AT-ST with cover 😳

    My boards I guess :P. The tank can get cover from alot of stuff due to the low profile it has, it has it easier than at-rt's in alot of cases. AT-ST not as easy I grant you that.

    I’m just wondering if, realistically, the T47 isn’t supposed to destroy enemy vehicles so much as it is supposed to seriously hinder them. The harpoon is free now - damaging and then pivoting an enemy vehicle wastes an activation for them (pivoting back), and now that compulsory moves don’t have to be done first, you could do said pivot twice on a row (last/first activation). 
     

    Imagine the frustration and waste of activation economy for your opponent when they have to spend two whole actions (or a whole turn) just returning their tank to facing the right direction. 

    From a rebel player who have used the harpoon quite a bit in the early days of legion. Not only do you need to put yourself in position without being blown out of the sky. Your attack needs to be without cover otherwise you have a 1/8 chance of hitting (2/8 with new rrg). Then your opponent still have a save so often 33% or 50% of ignoring your harpoon when you actually manage to hit then. In the rare instances I managed it either the at-st still did an aim shoot from spotter and another time, I couldn't get every unit out of arc with a 90° pivot. He was either gonna shoot some of my troopers or my speeder without moving.

    Granted it is still a very fun thing to try and do, but it is such a jank ability. Very hard to pull off and it rarely have a big effect and of course not much more than a suppressor vs non vehicle lists. I say stick with the ground buzzer 🤣

    Bought and painted a second airspeeder just in time for a major buff. Point adjustment down to 130 is crazy and surge-crit?

    Didn't think we would get even surge-hit, my double airspeeder list is gonna kick ***!

    Wow this is more than I expected. I didn't know they were gonna change so many point costs.

    They did however do alot of the changes I have been talking about for so long. Scale to wookies, surge crit for the airspeeder, the bad generic 1 pip command cards for civil war. 

    Stuff like field commander as a commander and open transports. This makes me sad they kicked Alex though since this is a major patch for most problems with this game.
