New Armada FAQ!
Very few actual changes, mostly just clarifications to cards to make clear that they do in fact work the way we thought (but weren't sure) they did, such as Admiral Sloane or Task Force: Antilles. They did nerf Corellian Conflict Dodonna, though.
Aside from that, lots of tiny errata or clarifications in anticipation of Admiral Raddus, including killing off the Raddus + Hyperspace Assault + Profundity + Rapid Launch Bays super doom bomb.

how many people can fit in a HWK-290? legends says 6 people, but the visual guide interior clearly shows that 2 people are already cramped inside
examining my X-wing mini, i got the impression it holds 4, which is what i went with for my group, in an exercise of the golden mean fallacy the HWK-290 is a highly customizable ship at least, so this kind of hand waving makes a bit more sense than most, at least

128 INT. SAN FRANCISCO-CEO'S OFFICE-EARLY EVENING
GEORGE arrives with THREE SHAREHOLDERS to arrest KENNEDY.
KENNEDY: Master Lucas. I take it Bob Iger has been destroyed then. I must say, you're here sooner than expected.
GEORGE LUCAS: In the name of the Star Wars Cinematic Universe(tm), this is a hostile takeover, CEO.
GEORGE LUCAS and the other SHAREHOLDERS ignite their lightsabers.
KENNEDY: Are you threatening me, old white man?
GEORGE LUCAS: The Board will decide your fate.
KENNEDY: (burst of anger) I am the Board.
GEORGE LUCAS: Not yet!
KENNEDY stands, a laser sword appears out of his cloak sleeve, and he spins toward the SHAREHOLDERS.
KENNEDY: It's treason, then.

How stupid would it be to play edge of the empire BUT use X-wing for dog fighting and such? Sure it’s been asked or pondered here before but I’ve been away a long time.

It actually works quite well but you're gonna have to come up with something for how deadly x-wing is for individual ships.

Probably for short hops it has crash seats or bench space for 6, but other than Biscuit Baron run you'd want to keep it as light as possible. A HWK-1000 legitimate takes 4 (but is rare)
Jordan Butler
Could try Heroes of the Aturi Cluster, that's a lot more PCs vs NPC ties.

so, here;s a really dumb question that's probably more /tv/ than Veeky Forums but, it's one I've been propping up to some folks I know:
If the original trilogy was made today instead of the 70's, and you were in charge: what modern actors would you pick to play the different roles?
I myself think that we can keep James Earl Jones as Vader since it's a voice job and he's still alive.
I suggested Christopher Walken actually as the Emperor because I felt he could do some creepy, unearthly body language with the role.
My aunt had the idea of havng Huge Weaving as Admiral Tarkin. I loved it but it then would feel like a waste for Tarkin to die in the first movie.
There's some hot debate over who for the main trio. I suggested Chris Pratt for Han, though friends have pointed out he might not be able to pull of some of Han's smoother moments. And Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Luke, admittedly I mostly recall him playing Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass.

A newer version of the N-1. Then again, they don't seem to have updated in quite a while.

Star Wars wasn't "cool" to the public until the late 90's, we would get A New Hope and that's it.

Good work Sean! Good luck
Kayden King
Not really. The prequels were terrible movies by all metrics and a cautionary tale of how nearly infinite money, a talented cast, and top of the line tech don't mean shit if the director is lazy, out of touch, and surrounded by yes-men, but it seemed to have an idea of what it wanted to be(of course, actually being what it wanted to be is a different matter) when compared to the new movies.

Christopher Long
Yes. It is not wrong to miss the feelings you had because of the prequels at the time. I certainly don't, it was a magical time in my life. Nor is it wrong to miss the decade plus of effort that creative and passionate people did to save them from the scrap pile of history through the old EU and stuff like the two Clone Wars TV series and a ton of video games and even a ton of fanworks and merchandise that tried to shine lights on the few bits of good tucked away in them.
But to miss the films themselves? Super wrong.
Aaron James
Sup /swg/, what are you flying in X-wing these days?
I'm flying a pair of Gunboats with HLC and Quickdraw, and I'm wondering how to deal with ships like Dash, Miranda, Nym, Han, etc. Ships that use turrets and/or bombs to always kite, never engaging.
What do I do against them?
Samuel Morris
I totally get this perspective, but it absolutely doesn't mesh with the other stuff we see in the movie.
Poe, Finn, and Rose basically do whatever they want and nobody raises an eyebrow. Leia runs an extremely informal command where talking back is tolerated and even blatant disobedience is mostly just a slap on the wrist. They could've run "Holdo shuts Poe down like a real world commander would", but not within the context of the Resistance we saw.
I agree with the notion that Holdo's role should've been entirely absorbed by Ackbar, because Ackbar telling Poe to fuck off would be something easier to buy.
Jeremiah Morris
>Luke, did I ever tell you about Luke? We are a good friend
Jace Evans
Revenge of the Sith is really underrated tho
Christopher Gutierrez
>That's a neat opinion, famlad That isn't a opinion as much as an observation. If it wasn't for the Star War name attached to them, those movies would have been regarded as a bigger Waterworld.
Caleb Ortiz
I'm not saying that Poe was in the right here, but Holdo was just kinda being a bitch. Also, what would Poe do wrong even if he did know about the plan?
Hell, why couldn't they have told the audience about the plan so that Holdo didn't look like such a bitch. There's also the fact that she didn't even use the cruiser as a mobile shield but that's less relevant to the situation at hand.
Caleb Hughes
The guys in Rogue One were being held back by chickenshit politicians who were letting themselves be cowed by terror weapons into capitulating to the ultimate evil. The actual LEADERS of the military (Blue One, a General, Raddus, an Admiral, and Mon Mothma, the Commander-in-Chief) were all on board with the plan and rebeled right with them.
Po was not rebelling, he was mutineering. Big difference.
Blake Miller
I don't know why I mispelt his name as 'Huge Weabing'.
but I do see we're in agreement on a lot of things. I even actually said to my friends "give it a few years and Ewan McGregor could play Ben Kenobi too. He seems to genuinely like it."
though I'm a little weirded out on Taylor Swift for Leia.
Also.
>Gwendoline Christie playing Chewie >Amazonian Wookie woman
Because of the assumption that she'd say no to it.
Daniel Wood
>his plan? What plan? I literally just saw the film and I can't even remember it

He wouldn't have ordered it would Holdo have not shot him down, and even if he did come clean Holdo would tell him to fuck off and he'd do it anyway.
Christopher White
Pretty much. Poe seems like the sort of guy that's only in the Resistance because he got booted out of the Republic Navy for pulling shit like that.
Adam Martinez
They kept Holdo's plan a secret from the audience because they wanted the audience to cheer Poe on, so that we would later feel dumb for doing so.
I understand why a lot of people are holding on to the notion that Poe was justified, because the movie basically set you up. Nobody like feeling dumb, and the movie WANTED you to feel dumb so it could teach you a lesson about leadership.
Every movie ever, Poe would have done what he did and it would have succeeded and there would have been no consequences. This movie, the opposite happened, and it wasn't just because they wanted to do the unexpected thing. It was to send the audience a message: "Military's work like they do for a reason, and dumb half-cocked heroics can have VERY serious consequences sometimes."
I like it. I'm not saying Holdo's personality didn't come across bitchy (although I think it got walked back a lot when she admitted that she really liked Poe and she handled things the way she did implicitly because she thought he'd be a better leader by having his ego punctured). I'm just saying it's not really relevant to the point they were making. In fact, if it had been Akbar instead like people suggest, it would have ruined it, because we would have trusted Akbar. We NEEDED to take Poe's side because FUCK YEAH, MOVIE HERO and get punched in the gut for it.

Its a good question really, we don't really know exactly how fast the ramming speed is. at the time the rebel alliance did not exactly have many ships to spare.
