Wave 3 Character Speculation

[gokubb 234]

Wasn't until Episode 6 that Obi-Wan said Luke was their only hope. Yoda said there was another (Leia). Don't recall anyone calling him the last Jedi.

 

Gotta hope the next wave has Lando. It's awful he's had to wait this long. And, Wedge Antilles.  I'd love them to do an Anakin Skywalker Hero version that could use villain blue, like Finn. Farmboy Luke or Rebel pilot Luke would be great. And, any of the missing bounty hunters from Empire.

mistaken, the empire said it as well in rebels but we know that there was still jedi's running around

"When I am gone, the last of the jedi will you be" - Yoda.

Shoehorning in cartoons takes a bit of the magic and whimsy for me, but as i say, the mouse has toys to sell...

[soviet prince 105]

being a cartoon does not make the story any less good, some of the best storys are considered cartoons and Disney own a lot of those storys.

 

just because he says that don't make it true,  also jedi can be plural as well

[KryatDragon 347]

Nothing says that Kanan won't die (or leave the order) before RoTJ, and nothing says that Ezra is actually accepted as a Jedi (as in one of the order - like Ahsoka, sorta. She's no Jedi).

I didn't say cartoons are bad stories. I said this particular cartoon ruins some of the magic of the original story for me.

I dislike rebels, I'm entitled to dislike rebels. The story of luke and leia being the very last hope for the light side is one of my favourites, if they're going to start chucking Jedi in left, right and centre then I'm not going to enjoy that.

 

But, as I've already said, it's not about me its about money. The mouse likes money. They know that jedi are cool and can sell toys, so they're going to ram as many bloody jedi as they can into the universe.

I don't begrudge them that and nor do i begrudge people liking rebels, but as far as I'm concerned it can get in the sea.

[soviet prince 105]

I am kind of the opposite, I find it very unlikely that luke was the only one left

Oh I agree there was magic with the first Star Wars. The Jedi are a long forgotten order.  These cartoons through Jedi around all over the universe, it contradicts the original trilogy.  And talk about power creep!  Luke is suppose to be so strong in the force, but he looks barely a novice compared to the cartoon Jedi.  

I watch the cartoons , in a vacuum they are entertaining shows.  But I don't consider them "my personal canon". When these characters make their way into the game, I'll just ban them at my house.

 

edit: exceptions to be made.  I do really like what they have done with Thrawn.

Except, Ezra, Kanan, Ashoka, and the blind guy from Rogue one are all acolytes rather than true Jedi. The first 2 never completed their "proper training" and as such are not "true" Jedi. Ashoka Abandoned the order, and the Blind Guy worked purely off sensitivity and faith.

Also even with Yoda's statement, you still got till the Battle of Hoth for them to die if you need it to be true. However the alternative is that like the old books, fallen Jedi, or dark Jedi are not counted as true Jedi in Yoda's statement.

[Ajones47 170]

It's all just one big Obi-Wanism, innit? Certain point of view and all that jazz.

"Luke you are the last Jedi, but mostly because I don't consider those other five guys I've sensed from time to time to be Jedi. They never lodged their licenses with me, and one didn't even have the lightsaber-hours to get off his training blade. Luke my boy, back in my day we'd have drummed them out of the temple right fast we would have. Let me tell you about this time that Mace Windu and I played a prank on the Chancellor... Boy, you are not going to believe who he turned out to be..."

The next starter decks have alternate versions of Rey/Poe and Kylo/Phasma, all with new rules.  Not sure if they're starter only or if they'll be part of the upcoming 2018 base set.

where is the info coming from that this will be the characters for the next starter sets? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere before?

[Traxlenak 70]

I am guessing we will get a noghri with Thrawn, and especially given that they are on the art for vibroblade

I saw a PDF with the characters, 20 card decks and battlefields for both hero and villain decks.  I don't want to give the source, but it's 100% legit.  Looked to be work in progress. One card had a placeholder name. Another had no artwork. Very possible things might change before release. 

The Rey artwork, incidentally, is her training on the island where she meets Luke.  Looks very Episode VIII.

Wow, that's huge. As someone who is so deeply immersed in the Destiny community that he's practically drowning in it, I'm shocked to have never heard this rumour before your post. Nice find.

I respect your decision not to rat your source, but could you maybe gesture at it discreetly and waggle your eyebrows so that the more adventurous amongst us can track it down as well. (I'm just going to start listing URL's and you blink when I get to the right one: www.a.com ... www.aa.com ... www.aaa.com ...)

how so? luke is just one story the universe is a big place 

Is it? 'Cause the way G.L. told those stories made it seem like the whole war was fought and won by like, 11 people. 

I mean, Yoda and Chewbacca were best buds and hugged it out? REALLY GEORGE?! REALLY, YOU HACK?!! 

...sorry, just getting my morning nerd-rage off my chest.

I would rather not know this info especially if there are hints to episode 8.  I stay away from all rumours episode 8 as I don't want it spoiled.  There's a reason it's called spoiled rather than enriched. 

Even the recent polish spoiling, kinda of sucked for me.  Killed the anticipation and not knowing who else could be in the set.

I'd hat to have to stop coming here because of too many 'leaks'

[HoodieDM 320]

Set 3 is focused on Rebels so I expect  to see:

Red V:

Kallus, Thrawn (already spoiled)

Blue V:

DM, TGI

Yellow V:

Bossk, Cad Bane

Red H:

Hera, Rex

Blue H:

Ezra, Kanan

Yellow H:

Sabine, Zeb

I am sure this is against the NDA some how. This news probably should not have been shared

What NDA? I don't work for or with FFG nor do I know anyone who works for or with FFG.

If you saw a PDF of something unreleased then that means the person you saw it had access to materials that are kept secret. People who have that material signs a legal document, a nondisclosure agreement, stating that they will not.share said materials with others that have not signed a NDA. It's sort of a big deal. So if you did see this new stuff, I wouldn't be mentioning it.

Who said a person showed me? You're making assumptions. Did a person show anyone the recent Polish leak? Nope. Just bad data management.  I don't particularly care if anyone believes me. More than half the cards look to be reprints from Awakenings and SoR anyways with new card numbers and what looks like a little light saber icon. I'm assuming this means the next set will also feature reprints. It would make sense.

So your basically telling us that you have seen a PDF with Card names and images from a set that is 8-9 months from release, but you don’t know anyone who works for or with FFG? If that is the case you have received illegally obtained data of sensitive nature of commercially protected IP.

 

If you're lying we will know as you have provided very specific descriptions of card art and characters in the starters and will be proven true or false in 9 months time, so you have no reason to lie.

 

If you're telling the truth then you have been privy to illegally obtained/disseminated copy written material, and have admitted as such on FFG's own message boards, and are divulging small but significant parcels of said illegally obtained information.
