It's not Episode I bad at least. No clue how that fucking thing was okayed for production. I personally wouldn't have minded CGI Yoda. They talked up practical effects but then gave us shit like Maz anyway. Still for old times sake I don't mind the puppet either. Mostly it just felt half assed. Rygel from Farscape was more convincing. They have the budget and animatronics tech to make something special, then just phone it in.

It's the lack of a defined jawline/fat neck.

Okay, so, taking guesses for Scout Troopers in Legion.
I bet they're gonna mirror Commandos but with some subtle differences, like how Leia and Veers are a bit similar. My guess is they'll have Scout 1 only, but will make up for it by having the Red Defense and maybe Sharpshooter 2. But the keywords don't ever perfectly mirror, so they might not have Low Profile, but instead get that Unhindered keyword.
I'm predicting they'll only have their EC-17 as a standard gun, so I could see making them not quite as scooty when deployed and more vulnerable to open terrain fire with their shorter range, but better able to ninja around terrain to get close.
One heavy weapon will be the E-11s trooper which will have very long range, probably like, Impact 1 and Pierce 1 and similar dice to the DLT. Maybe have cumbersome though to force you to shoot carefully. No clue what the second heavy weapon guy will be.

You've just been appointed as commander of a starfighter squadron. Answer the following questions: >What does your squadron call itself? >What type of starfighter(s) do you use? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? >Who do you fight for? Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Who do you take orders from? >Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? >Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron?
>Scout Troopers >soldiers whose whole purpose on the battlefield is to be the sensors for their higher unit >have helmets which explicitly limit their peripheral visibility
I thought the puppet was ok but the effects on him where bad, he didn't seem like a ghost so much as just glowing but at the same time he wasn't illuminated well. He wasn't translucent either, right?
I think they should have just gone with the force ghost effects from the original movies
Evan Robinson
>>What does your squadron call itself? "Rouge Squadron"
>>What type of starfighter(s) do you use? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Captured Rebel Fighters with modifications to them and Disarray and confusion among the enemy ranks
>>Who do you fight for? Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Who do you take orders from The Empire and stationed out of a captured Rebel carrier and we take Orders from the head of Imperial Intelligence
>>Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? Pic related
>>Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? 1st Lt. She can cover our trail and call in favors
Not sure if this is the real story, but I always enjoyed the notion that people forgot that, while yes Yoda would be younger in the Prequels, since he was already pushing 900 he wouldn't actually look all that younger if at all.
Noah Garcia
Not saying that it was necessarily actually George's idea, but there's the fact that the stress of the war and seeing everything go to hell around him could have really sucked the life out of him. Hell, even in the real world it's not uncommon for an elderly person to look and feel fine then suddenly decline rapidly after serious stress.
Hence why a number of people are currently worried about Stan Lee - dude's 95 years old, his wife died last fall, he's had a bunch of money stolen from him, and now he's basically been isolated. None of these things are good indicators for his life expectancy and many fully suspect he'll be dead before the year is out.
Benjamin Smith
refit option, the Covus is listed in the databank as a Raider Mk. 2
and it's not a massive hanger, two X wings or two(possibly 4*) ties. It also looks like it could be part of the cargo bay, and the boarding ramp terminates there so their isn't alot of room
*you see two in campaign, but a tie for each member of inferno makes sense to me...
Consider Tatooine. Obi-Wan is in his 50s. Owen and Aunt Beru are younger than him.
That fucking desert just sucks all the life out of you until you're a piece of jerky in a terry cloth robe.
Alexander Thompson
That fits with its Armada incarnation where it has a retrofit slot that can equip a hanger upgrade, but does not innately do carrier things.

I like how the Rebelized version just goes "fuck it, take off the solar panels and add the Neb-B's dangly wings, and paint it white and red"
and I mean that unironically. It's star wars as fuck.
Juan Butler
We'll find out in Episode IX, JJ willing.
Cooper Taylor
I feel it's quite a big overhaul for such a small ship, an imperial raider is only 150m long, and they completely ripped out the engine section and refitted it, plus removing the solar panels and fitting the enlarged rear hull. It does remind me of the Nebula class though with the step up at the back
>Guess who's dead Neither. Horton Salm lived after Fel's capture. Did you even read the X-Wing series?
Brayden Miller
and where are the guns? all the little pop-up blisters are gone
Brody Gonzalez
I was referring to Shea Hublin.
Bentley Watson
The fun part about that bit is that what Wedge did to set Fel up for that was literally just "I've been turning left for a while, so I'll turn right instead!" and THAT'S ENOUGH TO SURPRISE FEL.
Sebastian Russell
Holy shit, for real? That's on the same level as Wolf from Star Fox getting completely blown away when you loop behind him.
>Based Stan had money stolen for him and is isolated Wait what? I'm out of the loop, what's happened to the poor guy?
Robert Parker
Yep.
Gabriel Foster

Parker Watson
Brain in a jar full of toxic gas or a fucking triceratops, who was the coolest jedi master?
Bentley Mitchell
Thank you, one of the modifications a few of the X-Wings have are a secret compartment for buzz droids. We release a few when we dock on board a ship and have them hide and then they only activate again when the ship is being attacked to mess with everything(or messing with life support in the dead of night)or to transmit a tracking signal to an imperial ambush fleet. The idea of giving the rebels a taste of their own medicine and dragging rogue squadron's name through the mud makes me giddy and I imagine it would make Palpatine smile at us from beyond the grave.
>want to get started on painting this mountain of Legion stuff >it's been cold as fuck and raining for almost a week now with no end in sight >no good space inside at my place to spray prime
Fucking sucks man. I kind of dig how easy everything dry fits together though. Got a few games in already with everything partially built. I'm really enjoying the game and i think it'll be even better once we get some more unit variety. The saboteurs in particular look really cool
Luke Moore
>money
Had ~300k stolen from his accounts earlier, now it's looking like closer to a million
>isolation His previous nurse/aid assistance company was fired, no reason given to the public. Last week, the guy who's been his helper, best friend and surrogate son for the past ~20 years was also fired. Lots of celebs are saying that they're worried about the guy and they've tried to put in a wellness check with the police, but there's been no word yet.
Aiden Peterson
Huh. I heard he was being investigated for allegations of sexually harassing nurses at his previous retirement home.
Ryan Torres
I don't know of any active investigations, but there were claims he was harassing the nurses at his home - he was never in a nursing home. Those claims have obviously been denied, and that company was fired by Lee and his estate.
He's also been suffering from pneumonia, and apparently (I just googled him just now) confirmed this morning that he's going to Silicon Valley Comic Con.
At the end of February he revealed he was fighting pneumonia, this was after he canceled a number of appearances.
It was revealed that an unauthorized check for 300k was signed to the charity he no longer participates in, but formed with a former business associate of his daughter's. Then someone used his money to buy a condo worth 850k near his home, and another wire transaction issue cost him an additional 1.4 million.
Max Anderson, who's been his pal and caretaker for I'm not entirely sure how long, reportedly had an argument with Stan's daughter, and was fired and removed from the home by the police.
All in all, there's a lot of shady shit happening around Stan right now and his friends are right to be worried.
>>What does your squadron call itself? 285th "Starhawk" Squadron
>>What type of starfighter(s) do you use? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? TIE Defenders, all day, erryday. Provide escort for VIPs and pursuit of hit-and-run attackers.
>>Who do you fight for? Gilad Pellaeon's Most Glorious Imperial Remnant
>Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? A once-mothballed Venator, restored in an attempt to reinforce the considerably-diminished Imperial Navy.
>Who do you take orders from? Countess Ryad, who has been elevated to wing command. Even though she dies before Pellaeon creates/leads the Remnant; but not in my reality.
>>Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? Red stripes on the wing's edges to signify our subordinate status to Countess Ryad.
>>Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? Kantor "Blindside" Blayne, former swoop gang member, given the option of using his skills for the dying Empire instead of prison. Token obnoxious quipper, but excels at outflanking maneuvers.
Hana "Ice Queen" Zorbin, rumored to be a former Inquisitorious apprentice. Frosty personality, highly atypical reflexes, XO of the squadron.

This is honestly one of the easiest jobs in the galaxy.
There. I've just given you guys some great final bosses for a starter campaign. Hateable villains, lot of power, but ultimately they're pussies who can barely psychologically handle prey who shoot back. The Empire's based on the Nazis, and these guys are based on the Security Divisions.
That's the idea. They're despicable villains who it'd be immensely satisfying to bring to justice.
Luke Cook
>>What does your squadron call itself? Benis Unit
>>What type of starfighter(s) do you use? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Z-95's with sick mawds for more power
>>Who do you fight for? Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Who do you take orders from? Pink slips, we hang out in Biscuit Baron parking lots on Friday nights and punch on with up country degenerates
>>Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? Nemoidian performance brand stickers for more power
>>Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? Takumi when he's not delivering takeaway to Hutts
>what does your squadron call itself? Candle Squadron
>what type of starfighters do you use? what role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Pic related but I suppose is Star Wars it would translate to something like a Khiraxz or Dune Lizard; some generic starfighter company's attempt at an X-Wing. In terms of role, probably multi-role fighter/bomber shenanigans. Fly in, destroy a target, and fight our way out if the air-superiorty guys are fucking off for some reason (or there are none), with occasional air-superiority missions.
>who do you fight for? where are you based out of? who do you take orders from? We fly for a mercenary company, Second-to-Last Resort. We are based out of an old Venator being held together with love and duct-tape, christened Tall Drink of Water. The company captain and father goes by the name Mordeu, but people tend to call him Grandad.
>are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? Flight lead is Commander Wick, and the squadron is named in his honor.

Adam Morales
>What does your squadron call itself? the Star-Hags
>What type of starfighter(s) do you use? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Mostly old light freighters and some of the MandalMotors fighters like the Scyk, Dune Lizard, and Krayt. They're pirates; they raid shit and steal shit.
>Who do you fight for? Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Who do you take orders from? They fight for themselves. They call an asteroid base on the borders of Hutt Space home. The Captain (and her First Mate) is a former Hutt slave (Rishka Sev) and her personal assassin droid, a very old HK-50 stolen from the Hutt she ran away from. They prefer to raid Hutts because of her vendetta. Despite the name and female leadership, men aren't excluded.
>Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? Beyond the assorted rust? Each ship gets a crudely-painted witch pin-up, broomstick and all.
>Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? The pilots are fine, but tend to be crazy daredevils. Their raiding party boarders are of higher quality than most would expect.
Bentley Perry
I read that as "Don't Learn Mandalorian", and now I'm picturing some poor sap trying to o business with a bunch of insane space kiwis who can't stop shooting at each other for five fucking minutes.
>What does your squadron call itself? '322 Independent Support Squadron' on paper or 'Mobile Fire' otherwise >What type of starfighter(s) do you use? Skipray Blastboats >What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Anti-capital attacks, occasionally air support, specialist pirate/slaver hunters >Who do you fight for? Mercenary, but in practice never for any of the nastier warlords >Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Originally a planetary base, now an old, salvaged light frigate of obscure manufacture (homebrew design) with a skeleton crew >Who do you take orders from? Colonal , who's the commander of the whole unit, or Major , who leads the squadron >Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings Woodland camoflage paint, initially for practical reasons, later as a trademark >Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? There's 'Heartthrob', a pilot who used to be a cover model for cheap romance holonovels, Balat 'off-brand' Antilles, who's apparently an excellent dogfighter in an X-wing, but in the absence of those, manages to get by in a skipray, racking up almost thirty TIE kills since he joined the squadron
Christopher Myers
Fun fact: on Mandalore, sex stores and gun stores are the same thing.
>FAL >SCAR Does FN just make all the top qt guns or what?
Nathan Thompson
>True facts about the Mandalorian Mandalorians do not actually have sex. They have an intense form of physical combat that if one person isn't bleeding by the end is considered a poor showing.
Yeah, it was only a Huntsman which is completely harmless. But they do grow very big and this one was "cartoonishly huge" with a leg span of about 15cm or around 6" in burger units. Honestly the biggest one I've ever seen
>"Don't Learn Mandalorian" A culture which probably has 154 words to describe how someone died and then mangles galactic standard with A = O, E = eee! and Oh = Ah
K guys, should i plan a new Star Wars campaign to GM or should I put more work into developing the core rules and setting for my own historical TTRPG?

Real talk: whenever I have Mandos show up in my games, I portray them not as a living, thriving culture that looks ahead and is full of total badasses, but as a decaying culture built on dreams of revanchism and is full of pirates and mercenaries and other such bottomfeeders. Did I do something wrong?
Kevin Green
The thing you did wrong was ask if you did something wrong. Do you and your players like it? If yes, congratulations you done it right.
Lucas Flores
>True facts about the Mandalorians Mandalorians, in baffling defiance of all known science, have only one chemical that arouses them: adrenaline. That's correct, every male Mandalorian has been packing an extra "durasteel rod", and every female Mandalorian an extra vibroknife.
No, that's a pretty fair portrayal. The Mandalorians of the movie era are not the legendary space vikings of the Old Republic.
Granted, the movie era Mandalorians didn't seem to care about war much anymore, and appeared more interested in just fighting for sport or financial gain than actual raiding or full warfare.
By decaying and bottomfeeders, I mean an overall tone of "The South will rise again!"-type patheticness to them. Think the Batarians in Mass Effect.
Jack Gray
Literally Death Watch
Xavier King

so no, you're doing it just right
Owen Smith
>What does your squadron call itself? Vanguard Squadron >What type of starfighter(s) do you use? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Refitted TIE Defenders, other assorted Imperial Prototypes that have ben refitted by the First Order. Some other FO ships are occassionally added when availible. Primarily scouting mixed with Hyperspace Ambushes. >>Who do you fight for? Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Who do you take orders from? The First Order, operating from a pair of refitted Raiders with occassional carrier support/restocking as they attack strategic targets or scout the outer rim. >>Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? Red stripes on their wing support struts, some squadron veterans have red ships that were at one point used by the Royal Guard. >>Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? Codename 'Blackout'- He claims it is because his TIE Silencer has sensor-scrambling tech that makes him difficult to detect without a clear visual, (as in a sensor blackout) but he actually got it by being very drunk during most of his off-time.
this is mostly just my fluff for my Epic games when I fly something like Blackout, 3 Defenders, a Raider, a TIE/Shuttle, and a pair of TIE/SFs.
I will subscribe to more Mandalorian facts, please!
Luis Garcia
Mandalorian Crusades were their equivalent of the hippie movement and the summer of love
Thomas Barnes
I portray some of the clans as the former, with the majority of them acting as the latter. Not nearly enough are Traviss-tier to make up for the entirety of the Neo-Crusader legacy of violence and blood-sport for a living.
Landon Lewis
traviss legit portrayed their society as fractured and dwindling until the post-NJO era
Luis Foster
I suppose. What I meant by Traviss-tier was "super good at literally everything they try, to the degree that clones that join Clan Skirata master farming within a week or two of picking up a manual on it." They way I portray them they're still the absolute best fighters the galaxy has to offer, but it attracts a lot of drifters and people who just want to fight instead of Traviss' thing where the moment you join one of the clans she writes about you're immediately a person of substance.
Wyatt Gomez
there's a couple in that little slot in the side, and I assume that its the same on the other side, and a big one right on the end of the nose of the ship

Hunter Butler
>What does your squadron call itself? C47 Fighter Squadron, nicknamed the "Cat-Fighters."
>What type of starfighter(s) do you use? Do your squadron's ships have any distinct markings? What role do you fulfill on the battlefield? Pic-related as they'd translate to Star Wars. With the same colors, unless one of you guys can provide some dope-ass arwing recolors. For roles, they're aerospace-superiority fighters.
>Who do you fight for? Where are you based out of (carrier, planetary base, etc.)? Who do you take orders from? No pseudo-Star Fox unit is worth without the Great Fox. How would you guys stat it? A bulkier Gozanti with internal hangers? A small Ton-Falk?
>Are there any noteworthy pilots in your squadron? If I use these guys as NPCs I'll probably have humans and aliens with one or two as reference to the SF crew as opposed to copying the entire cast.
