  1. Great art work. As others said, good ideas. I think 100 credits is way to cheap for the predator. 3 attacks is pretty good. I can't wait to see more.
  2. I try not to be toxic, and I've tried to keep my critical thoughts about The Last Jedi in check, but like Bitterman said, I'm sick of being referred to as a 'hater' a word devoid of any real meaning, because i don't genuflect to everything labeled Star Wars. Since 1977 have I watched Star Wars, my own council will I keep, on what I am to like. But, stay on topic? O.k. Here is a blurb from the official product page: "Imperial Assault puts you in the midst of the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire." So, to stay on topic, can we stop having threads asking for things from the ST or the PT since, clearly, the game does not take place between the "Resistance" and "First Order" or between the "Republic" and the "Separatists." I suggest, since we like to tell people "go somewhere else on the internet;" that ya'll head over to the Destiny forums for your sequel trilogy fix.
  3. All movies have problems, but there are problems, and then there are films which are poorly paced, agenda driven, lore breaking, plot hole cratered, groan inducing, internally inconsistent messes like the Nu Trilogy. People keep saying "I don't get the hate." Well, I don't get the love. They are bad movies. Not just bad Star Wars movies. The second one being orders of magnitude worse than the first. If it didn't have Star Wars stamped on the box, it would be about as popular as Jupiter Ascending, with similar critical acclaim. And, as bad Jupiter Ascending was, in a Clockwork Orange scenario, I'd much rather be tortured by it than TLJ. The purposefully campy silliness that was the 1980 Flash Gordon was a better, more cohesive, film than The Last Jedi. At least Flash Gordon didn't waste Max Von Sydow like TFA did. Ming was a superior villain to Ren, Snoke, and Hux , whose combined villainy quotient wouldn't surpass Lt. Harris in Police Academy on a chart of movie antagonists. Well, to paraphrase Han Solo, "...sorry about the rant."
  4. That sounds like something to celebrate to me. I personally want nothing to do with this "Kelvin-esque" Star Wars, so-called, trilogy.
  5. How much for your Return to Hoth and Jabba's Realm?
  6. I haven't played it, but I read the rules for it. It does seem overly indulgent. While the miniatures are beautiful, I was surprised at their scale for land warfare game. The cost point is really high, and it is a game with an expectation out of the gate of an investment in miniature painting supplies and skill. Trying to break into the Rune Wars and War Hammer player base to sell them Star Wars seemed a fool's errand from the get go, but I wasn't sure.
  7. Han leading a revolt on Kashyyyk was part of the EU. They even features a campaign of missions in the old Star Wars: Battlegrounds RTS game, where Han, Chewbacca, Lando, Luke, and Attichitcuk liberate Kashyyyk from the remnants of the Empire. It would be a perfect place to incorporate both Imperial and Mercenary factions, like Bosssk, Trando Hunters, maybe some new Chiss ascendancy units, as well as Wookiee and hero allies, and to get tiles suitable for Endor and Kashyyyk. It was what the Battle of Endor should have been in Return of the Jedi.
  8. They weren't Teddy Bears. They were C.H.U.D. Cannibalistic Humanoid Under-canopy Dwellers. They were nightmare beasts of a horror movie.
  9. The Vader/Obi Wan lightsaber duel is a much less epic version of the spear fight in Hidden Fortress. Not to say I didn't like the one in Star Wars, but later, when I saw that fight in Hidden Fortress I was awed.
  10. Boba should be a vehicle. It would go along way to fixing him.
  11. Ah, that makes sense. So for one point you get 2 more health and can bring in up to 3 droids from other factions? It seems a bit ridiculous that it's a "mercenary" faction with more Rebels than Merc. I never bought a Jawa pack, so I guess i never realized how much more capable the eJawa were.
  12. Is there a rules change I don't know about? How does one play IG-88 and temporary alliance and then have 4 Rebels in their team?
  13. They are in the same poses as the Star Wars miniatures models. Where these spay painted grey?
  14. I was huge opponent of introducing Darth Maul back in the timeline, but despite the dumbness of it, he has turned out to be one of the better villains out there. I wish Rebels' animation had been better, I don't know why they took away his raptor legs for just some plain looking ones, but the story of him trying to seduce Ezra to the dark side while using him to find Obi Wan was some of the better Rebels material. I too would like Filoni to bridge the two. I still hated that he was in Solo, because it was unnecessary fan service. I think it would be good to see him escape Palpatine's grasp once he has Darth Vader, maybe after Sidious is "captured" by the separatists. Speaking of that, the Samurai Jack cartoon dealt with Sidious' capture. I wonder if Filoni will do an episode that takes us right up to Revenge of the Sith. With Sidious away, Maul could have find a way to escape his grasp and fled to the outer rim to avoid him.
  15. I hope you are incorrect in your analysis. They should have been here already. Certainly ahead of Dengar or the anti-R2-D2/C3PO nonsense that is 0-0-0 and BT-1.
  16. Yeah, I think in the case of wampas, since the app changes abilities of the enemies sometimes, I don't think it would be that difficult to restrict certain units to exterior terrain that is fitting for them, i.e. Wampas, Tuskens, Banthas (though one could see Bantha outside Tatooine).
  17. I agree completely. The app is great, but when you click a box, it should just be for what's in the box, and leave it to click on or off the separate blisters, at least. A best system would be to allow you to shut off allies and villains you just don't want to see. The only problem i see with that, now that Jabba's realm is required for the latest app campaign, I'm sure said campaign will include units in Jabba's realm.
  18. Yeah, I'm sure a sinewy Twi'lek is nothing compared to a plump Gamorean. It's like eating a string bean and then being served a juicy pork chop.
  19. Well, i have him, so that's not a problem.
  20. Is there a way to have Captain Terro w/o the Dewback?
  21. Question: What tokens and cards that are sold separately are in the Jabba's Realm box. Obviously Jabba, but is Captain Terro and the Alliance Rangers also in that box? They came out at the same time. I figure if I'm going to buy the box, I may as well get the figures that have tokens in it, because the app will make them appear, I've found.
  22. And, at least in my experience, App missions seem to have a crap-ton more going on. I've never felt like the board was so crowded as I have in app missions.
  23. I'm excited. I haven't bought Jabba's Realm yet, but this is a good excuse to do so. I know some might disagree, but I think this is a good method of giving your expansion some added value. I like the app because it can make changes to the cards on the fly with no need for a formal errata. EDIT: I didn't realize until I reread it, that it was only 5 missions in the campaign, but, as they said, there are more missions for the purpose of re-playability. That is a little disappointing on its face.
