Empire at War Speculation Thread

That picture is definitely lando, you can see the original artwork below. I suppose it also truly will be Lando and not any of his equipment.

For the rest, I actually recommend to go through some card databank for the artwork in LCG Star Wars. I think, that blue die is maybe Ahsoka Tano, as it looks like the image has white top.

I think the Lando is different card, definitely Lando though. Also, I think you're right about the blue dice being Ahsoka too. It looks like a real close up shot without showing all of her lekku (or whatever it's called). I didn't see it at first and originally thought it was a side shot of Kanan (although it didn't look like the clothes he wears). The grey dice looks like chopper, but he is suppose to be yellow. No idea about the red.

I have a strong feeling that there will be a character who has an ability that lets you activate one (or perhaps all) of your vehicle supports concurrently. With the current speed of the meta, vehicles just aren't that good. I'm sure FFG is aware of this, and such a character would at least help bring some relevance to vehicles. Wedge is the most likely candidate, but I could see a number of other possibilities (e.g. Red Leader or the Baron). I also fully expect to see a Biggs character before too long that has guardian so that he can die as often in Destiny as he does in X-wing.

I agree that the blue dice might be Ahsoka. I just read the Team Covenant article that @Stone37 posted in another thread, and the playmat in the first picture in the article looks like the dice (it's also a great article, by the way!):

The gray dice looks like a bomb of some kind. In X-Wing, they frequently release newer versions of cards and other needed "fix" cards with "advanced" stuck in the title (like Adv. Targeting Computer and Advanced Slam), so I'm guessing it's an Advanced Thermal Detonator for Sabine to use. Holdout Blaster is on the boxes for Awakenings and I think Vibroknife is on the boxes for SoR, so it's probably a grey neutral upgrade.

Look to the cards spoiled and from the last set. It looks like they have already shown who's  coming 

[Rogue 4 65]

The blue die is Owen Lars

If you compare the close up of the die with this, it doesn't look like this pic at all to me. Look at his right collar, both are different. The art in the die, despite being blurred, looks much flatter and doesn't have contrasting highlights on his face like this one. Also his head is tilted forward on the die and it's a bit more straightened in your pic.

I could be wrong, but they don't usually alter artwork and instead they just copy/paste.

That blue dice still blown up looks like Leia in Bounty Hunter Gear in Jabba's Palace. But the only definite thing I can see is the dice is blue.

While the Grey dice looks like a droid I also get the shape of a Thermal Something.

It wouldn't make much sense for Leia's Boussh to be a Force character, more likely a yellow if they do it... also, the top 1/3 of the die looks a bit to light to be her helmet. The helmet is dark maroon and dark grey on the top.

I am keen to see some little guys joining as cheap characters.

Things like Ewoks, Jawas, Basic trade federation trooper (Roger Roger)

I would love a 9 pt droideka red - villian - 8 HP - Dice (2 range, +2 range, +3 range(resource), 2 shield, 1 resource, blank)

Passive ability: discard this dice to place shields on this character equal to the value on that dice.   

Boba Fett - Yellow - Villian - unique - 11HP  11-14

Dice: 1 melee, 2 range, +2 range, 2 Disrupt, 1 resource, blank

Passive ability: use two upgrade slots to equip up to one yellow vehicle as an upgrade on this character.

You are right, i first thought that it is, but by closer look, it looks like it is definitely not the same artwork.

I'm wrong. It's Ahsoka.

Not sure if it will show up in Empire at War, but I think it is only a matter of time before we see some sort of add-on starting items that you only play at the beginning of the game (ala the X-wing upgrades) that count against your 30 point total. The fact that they made Palpatine at 28 rather than 30 just screams to me that we will eventually see a starting upgrade to use those two slots.

Yes, agreed!!!

[Stone37 3,353]

I like the idea of Lando removing a resource from an opponent when he is activated.  This might be a little too powerful so maybe: When this character is activated, the opponent must discard a resources or discard the top card of their deck.

 High resolution image from reddit. Ahsoka and Lando are confirmed, but I'm not sure on the red and grey dice?

Hmmm. The grey looks like a thermal something and the red looks like it has a special side so it can't be thrawn. Can't wait to find out more!!!

[Kyle Ren 6,817]

The red dice has a 2 ranged damage in addition to the special, and the picture has either white hair or a white helmet, so I agree, it's not Thrawn. Could it be an Imperial Stormtrooper? 

I have two ideas for the gray dice. Like I said earlier, it's probably an Advanced Thermal Detonator. However, it would be really cool if it's a Dorsal Turret - it looks a lot like the turrets on the Ghost! My reasoning is that maybe they'll introduce Modifications as a card type, which will be upgrades that you can play on supports! The Dorsal Turret would have to be vehicle only, but then they could have droid-only modifications that are weapons for Chopper to carry and so forth. Highly unlikely, but I think that would be cool.

Man, two of my favorite characters in the next set and neither are legendary? THANK YOU FFG. Seriously.

[ozmodon 535]

Kamino saberdart would make a nice one cost yellow  weapon .

[HoodieDM 320]

I think the grey die is a yellow astromech in the back of a ship. We know Chopper is Yellow already, but thats what it looks like to me.

We know all the hero yellows Ezra/Lando/Sabine/non-unique. Unless its not Lando the char but some yellow upgrade like "Charm" or some sleezy acoundrel move with a close up of him.

Hero blues should be Ashoka/Kanan/Mace/non-unique.

Red will be interesting. I think we could finally see Cassian. I definitely think Hera will be in this set. And then perhaps a new Luke or Han that is red colored, but diff time period version?

Edit: BTW I think the red die is a Hoth Turret/Ion Cannon.

I'm guessing the non-unique Hero blue will be a Jedi Temple Guard. They featured in SW Rebels.
