/swg/: Star Wars General: Authentic Huttese Dining Experience

Better image of Spiker.

That story was a blast

I'm torn. On the one hand, the T-70 is a solid design, on the other I'd kind of expect something that looks really different from other X-wings given how much farther along it is design wise. We'll have to see if they show up in VIII.

In theory they should seeing as the NR is going to be fighting tbe FO directly after they got Pearl-Harbor-times-a-billion'd in VII. But that's only assuming the people making VIII remember they exist.

Most likely they'll just continue with the X-Wings we've already seen and the people who write the reference books and actually give a shit about that stuff will just label it a 85 to match with previous lore.

OMG TIE Defender in next Rebels episode!

And at least one A-Wing thanks to that set photo.

God I hope Episode VIII actually does and goes to new things

I don't see anything on Disney's youtube, and I would hate if the Defender predated Yavin.

>the NR is going to be fighting tbe FO directly after they got Pearl-Harbor-times-a-billion'd in VII

Is this confirmed yet? I mean it's a totally logical assumption based on everything we know, so I certainly hope for something like pic-related.

Yeah that's good! Hopefully we'll see more ship diversity, B-Wings in particular deserve some time in the limelight seeing as they got shafted by bluescreen in ROTJ. Plus maybe we can get some orignal designs as well.

...

>A-Wing

>This is Black Leader, I'm being swarmed by TIEs!
>Don't worry honey, I'll help you fight the First Order!
>Mooooomm!

Ah, a schematic, I can sorta accept it being in the pre-prototype stage.

I hope it's just in the prototype phase.
Being in design before Yavin is nothing big, just so long as it's not at production stage yet

There's a screencap of the blueprints, almost literally from an old EU guidebook with Hera at "concern level almost".

We'll know more as the week goes on, hopefully it's like, an early experimental (I/e the /x7) and not the full blown TIE/D design. That said, I think Rebels is trying too hard not to involve X-Wings, so a lot of Imperial fighter tech rolling out doesn't make as much sense as it did in the old EU, where basically like a year or so before Yavin there was a lot of vying for what would theoretically replace the /LN, and the fact that the X-Wing was stolen by the rebellion kind of cinched the need for /INs and /Ds to actually get out there.

Also, god forbid they actually think about what shit to throw in besides fanservice, what role would the defender actually be solving in Rebels, regular Interceptors are kicking the shit ouf of the Rebs and their 15-year old As. It'd make much more sense for them to say, pull the TIE/AG out of nowhere, a convoy escort TIE. That would actually make strategic sense and you could sell some new toys.

Do you think LFL and FFG talk about XWM any? Does Disney/LF know how popular Defenders are right now?

Cool plot could be Rebels do something to disrupt or delay production.
Has it as a threat, and let's the rebels be involved with the original trilogy without being involved

>so a lot of Imperial fighter tech rolling out doesn't make as much sense as it did in the old EU
On the other hand, this could set the stage for the return of classic Legends Sienar, the most magical workplace in the galaxy.

They've got Wedge now, perfect time to introduce the X-wing

Defenders are fantastic, but I'd love it if they brought back Avengers to fill their old role as the logical step up from the Avanced x1 before you got to the Defender's ludicrously high price tag.

Hell, worst-case scenaeio they can always just make up some new, even crazier shit to fill in the post-Yavin gaps stuff like the Defender used to fill. That's where all these designs came from in the first place; they never show up in the movies.

>Sienar
I've got four of those posts capped, but the last two showed up black for some reason.

See, this sort of thing I think works for Rebels. You already had a little bit of it, and you've got Grand Admiral "Missile Boat" Thrawn in the show now. Give them some Xs and some new aces, they start popping eyes and squints. You need some real new tech out there.

Avengers, Aggressors, even Experimentals they work perfect for a show like Rebels as maybe an episode or a couple of episodes (like the Interdictor episode, which was pretty good) "Holy shit scary TIEs are all over us, we lost another 6 guys in Phoenix."

And then smash cut to thrawn talking with a Sienar exec being like "I need more bat shit crazy fighters!"

Hell, it's the perfect lead in to the TIE Hunter. Storm Commandos are already canon again, pretty sure.

No, I'm not JUST hoping LFL recanonizes some ships so I can get them in XWM

>new, even crazier shit
I can't wait for nuCygnus to shit out something even wackier than the Missile Boat, then.

Please post them, I need to save them

Rebels is actually in the ideal time for the theoretical predecessor, the Assault Gunboat. Imagine giving the Ghost a run for her money with some Macross-level shit.

I see Thrawn being more pragmatic.
Seeing the rebels as an excellent test bed for designs.
They will fail, but he will learn things in the failure.

Yes, they need the Gunboat.

I almost feel like this is a test, Thrawn leaking the basics of a terrifying design (that the Empire would never actually fund till they started losing dogfights) just to lure the rebels in.

>Gunboats ambush the Ghost and destroy it in an orgy of missiles and lasers
>Wedge, the sole survivor, becomes the new protagonist
>Cast rounded out by Hobbie, Biggs, Porkins, and Garven Dreis
>X-Wing: The Animated Series
A man can dream.

What we really need is to bring back Grand Admiral Zaarin. He was the real guy pushing insane fighter designs until something stuck.

You. I like you.

>Thrawn can't defeat the rebels, he just doesn't have the time or the resources.
>Emperor reassigns him to the Outer Rim to oversee more interesting but less prestigious projects
>His replacement will be a new Grand Admiral, and he has some ideas....
>Shot of blueprints of a TIE Avenger

Hera is ok. I can stand her being injured and forced into mission command base officer mode.
Sabine too, maybe

Parting shot of Thrawn being introduced to his new flag captain, and his glorious white moustache

It'd be salt and pepper pre-Yavin at least, surely?

>mission command base officer mode
Maybe, though I feel like she'd need a bigger, badder ride than a light freighter for that sort of gig. A proper home base to accommodate all those shiny new T-65As that we'll probably be seeing soon.

>It'd be salt and pepper pre-Yavin at least, surely?
Well, pellaeon would have been I think 52? as of yavin, so it could be, although all-white is certainly entirely possible. I, for one will almost certainly be completely white-haired by 45.

Rebels is like 3BBY, so mostly white, very little grey.

My father's up around 50 and still pretty black-hair heavy.

The T-85 hadn't been designed yet, so they were forced to use T-70 designs for it in Before the Awakening.

I keep forgetting what game/engine this is a mod ofr.

Just wanted to say that this series is top-tier.

I still remember the one where Boba Fett straight-up murders that pirate with a fucking magic trick.

But Hellion clearly is glorious Silver not long after Yavin

...Which one was that?

I ask because that sounds pretty great.

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Boba_Fett:_Bounty_on_Bar-Kooda

This is the first book in a four-part series

It's fuckin' great. Honestly, I'd love a good Star Wars series that just follows a group of nobodies and scoundrels who're desperately trying to survive in the chaos and destruction of the Galactic Civil War.

Well, the New Republic was demilitarizing itself and the Resistance is a small cell scrounging together what leftover equipment it can. Since half of their T-70 fleet was destroyed at Death Planet 9000, it only makes sense that they would find a mothballed squadron of old T-65's to help improve their numbers, complete with a volunteer group of semi-retired veteran pilots whose old-fashioned warmongering ways have put them at edge with the newly pacified surrender-monkeys running the New Republic. And so that Denis Lawson can reprise his role as Wedge Antilles to become a pivotal member of the resurgent canon.

>mfw I have the comic that's from
It's pretty good.

I love these little pigbats.

Their story may have been dumb but these guys look like they could have been good dumb muscle for the likes of the Hutts.

This helmet was also cool.

They did contribute to a truly amazing cutscene, though.

That doesn't work at all, why not just link to the video with a timestamp?

>Hera doing the maths on how many of Phoenix Sqn is going to survive contact with the enemy

A: None of them!

I don't remember if this a tusken tent or a survival tent, but I hate bioware for mirroring the frozen OUTSIDE skin of the survival tent for the interior, even when the heater is clearly on.

Cool rifle.

Fun little configuration

THIS IS TYTHON!

I have em too (around here the story was split between multiple magazines).

>Zaarin for Season 4

Fuck yeah. Throw in Steele and Harkov, and we're all good.

For you user. The whole thing actually started when I inquired about whether Sinear would fund a "fighter" armed with capital ship class turbolasers, to which the answer was a resounding "yes".

This was my contribution to the writefaggotry, ignore the rampant typos.

FAST

Goddamnit I just realized that my terrible caps cut some words off. If any user has better ones feel free to come forward, otherwise I'll check the archives and see if I can get better ones.

I got the last one

What're the pitfalls of being a Mandalorian?

I'm guessing that the most common pitfall is being insufficiently metal. Traviss and Filoni Mandos are chump change compared to the glorious KOTOR Mandalorians.

All cropped and purdy

>return of classic Legends Sienar

We can only hope

I figure by pitfalls, he means info and restrictions your character needs to abide by IC. Things like Mando's always wearing the armor, and the like, that will get you in a bit of trouble if you forget them.

Looted rebel defenders for x-wing incoming

Pilots include two versions of Sabine

>Still no looted Interceptors

NOICE, thanks a million user

New species announced for No Disintegrations for EotE.

Clawdites!

>Clawdites
Fuck yes.

Has anybody made Clone Wars content for FFG Star Wars RPG, official or otherwise, I plan on running a Republic vs CIS game.

For clone Wars ship stats check out Shipfag's Hangar in the OP. Other stuff? Refluff to your heart's content

A bunch of stuff has been officially stated already. Missing droid ships, ARC-170s and the Ep3 Jedi Starfighter.

I always wondered what caused the Jedi to change the order's main starfighter partway through the war.

Look at how much aviation developed throughout ww2

How is this for a double regen list?

>>Heroes Poe
>>PTL
>>R5-P9
>>Pattern Analyzer
>>AT
>>Title

>Norra
>>PTL
>>R2-D2
>>Tail Gunner
>>Vectored Thrusters
>>Title

>Bandit Squadron Pilot
>>VT

I wonder why the Jedi use fighters and not shuttles on their missions. Hyperspace travel isn't instant y'know.

Any guesses on how the Martial Artist tree is gonna work from No Disintegrations? Think it'll have a talent to change the ruling attribute of brawl to Agility?

>change the order's main starfighter
They didn't. Plenty of Jedi, including Plo Koon, kept on flying the Delta-7. The introduction of the Eta-2 just happened to give the OJO a GOTTAGOFAST alternative.

In the movies you can apparently get from anywhere in the galaxy to anywhere else in a couple hours.

Post ruusan reformation we have the jedi service corps, but before that, what do you think happened to jedi in training who were not allowed to progress to knight, for whatever reason?

Jedi agricorps. Have fun talkign to plants and building wells on outer rim colony worlds that makes any african clay town look like manhattan

Ah shite read After Ruusan, not before ruusan.

yeah, that's why I asked. Though there's nothing preventing them from going a bit Roman republic style and dumping the initiate on some far away outer rim world, barely farmable, with a small patch of land.
You paint a vivid image of Afrihattan IV though.

It makes one wonder why nobody in the Agricorps was ever successful or entrepreneurial enough to start an agribusiness. Surely, Force fuckery would lend itself well to farming and animal husbandry.

Jedi indoctrination. To break from the Order is to break with the only family you have ever known. The order provides everything you need, so why go into business and risk losing everything?

SFS hires you to design a new TIE.

The catch is Raith wants it to be like a TIE/LN but with double the... Everything.
