**** straight it is. S&V Fett blows Imperial Fett out of the water with no competition. Not being able to field it in my Imperial lists is... frustrating. When he worked for the Empire he was just searching for Han, so the ability to change bank directions is fitting. Outside that confine (no disintegrations), working for himself without any restriction, he's a bad@$$.

No, the new Fett card is Scum & Villainy only.

Is the Jedi Starfighter a Rebellion era ship or strictly prequel?

Hexis, do you have a PowerPoint slide pic or video or some other concrete evidence of Christian saying this so we can put the prequel ship debate to rest for good? (And refer back to it every time it's resurrected?) Thanks in advance!

Huh? Never said it wasn't, I'm saying that R4s were used in Jedi starfighters and the picture on the card looks like a Jedi starfighter's cockpitAnd ffg seem to have a recurring theme (at least in the last 3 releases) of including a pic of a ship from the next wave Oh, I see. Well, I think that's a bit of a jump then, friend, from a partial blurry image. If it's true that FFG just reiterated at GenCon that they won't be releasing prequel ships, does that include a Jedi fighter?

Why isn't it an R4 Astromech?

I speculate the Scum HWKs can jam the turrets to to be forward arc only.

So glad for that!

Two take aways: you're going to hate seeing Scum HWKs across the table and Interceptor fliers will be happy for an upgrade in the Star Viper pack.

I was a third faction naysayer, but the exclusion of the YT-1300 from the Most Wanted pack was a bit suspicious. The description on the FFG article mentions bounty hunters, pirates, and Black Sun, but nothing of smugglers. So now I wonder if this time next year FFG will announce a Smugglers and Spies faction. I'm not emotionally invested in this, so you're welcome to disagree.

I was a little disappointed the YT-1300 wasn't included included in the Most Wanted pack.

I haven't seen anyone upset about the introduction about new content, violently so or not. I've seen several threads and posts from you accusing such and abuse from people who thought a third faction wouldn't come. Now that it's here, how about we all just move on and enjoy it?

Well done, FFG. Well done.

I like the introduction of illicit upgrades. That's the unique faction feel.

So much smug. I naysayed the necessity, but trust FFG to do an outstanding job.

I was saying that all along.

Bump to mess with people minutes before the big GenCon announcement.

6am here in Hawaii. Should have news around the time I wake!

This sounds like something I said a few posts up referring to some Syndicate Title cards, no? It's been said many times, but the third faction die hards ignore it. I'm not even completely against a third faction, I just think it's necessary.

You don't know that. LOGIC actually dictates that there WILL be some sort of 3rd faction or pirate/hurt/bh ships spread out over our Rebel/Imperial factions. How do I know this? Because MONEY is what keeps FFG in business and not your opinions.FFG would make similar money producing the same third faction ships you want, but as Rebel and Imperial instead as they've done so far.

You don't have to be inflammatory. I don't think anyone is going to quit over a third faction, we just disagree about the need or probability.

Or FFG produces the same ships, but incorporates them into the existing Rebel and Imperial factions as they've already done. The game continues for a long time, people still make predictions of multiple factions, prequel ships, new damage decks, etc, and get frustrated if anyone disagrees.

Nice pic, Joe. You're pretty cute.

Rebel and Imperial. Sorry, a few years late on this post.
