I love how rough and tumble she is while still being hopelessly naive, I love she's more cute than beautiful and I love that Phasma's her mother.

Who remembers playing this game: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_DroidWorks ?

Two T-65's, two Y-wings.

Bad or just not amazing?

Just feels more fun to me to go that route.

Nothing wrong with it. The T-65s just need to be named pilots. And the Y-Wings are pretty solid right now.

Actually looking at the points I am thinking 2 Y-wings, Wedge in an X-wing then a Z-95 as a cheap swarm buster with assault missiles.

Just not sure to run the Y-wings with BTL-A4, ion turrets and R2 astromechs or without the title and with twin laser turrets for the same price. Guess I will try both.

It was an enemy type in the RotS game, like Brute - which was clearly meant as an enemy descriptor not a literal description of the rank within the Jedi until Jedi Path decided "sure, Jedi Sniper and Brute sounds like a real thing!"

Would be a cool spec for a Sentinel in F&D though, get some Saber Throw, Intuitive Shot and Prescient Shot in there, maybe an improved Saber throw so you can hit multiple opponents.

>>44467512
>Bullets
What are you, a Sandperson? Fucking savage

I posted a few days ago about moving to a new area and everyone calling me a tourneyfag for playing really basic, noncompetitive builds because they're fucking clowns. The other day I found out that they're calling me 'Jewlob' because I ran a Palob list that they thought was unfair. Now I mad (also drunk) and I'm fixing to go to a tournament this week and fucking obliterate all of them.

I originally ran Palob w/ Opportunist, MC, and Blaster Turret + Torkil w/ TLT and Tactician, Y-Wing w/ TLT, and a Binayre with Cluster and glitter.

I'm going to add either Recon Spec or K-4 to Palob, trying to decide whether I should keep Opportunist and downgrade my Z to Hotshot or Feedback or something or swap Opportunist for Expert Handling for some crazy TL dropping BS and running the Z with homing missiles.

Help me ruin their gay little meta.

>>44467479
The khyraxxz is pretty slick. I like it.

Don't ever bother with Gaz the Hunter. He's shit. But Talonbane is good. Give him Glitterstim, Engine Upgrade, and either Crackshot, Predator, Veteran Instincts, or Swarm Tactics if you want. Mine usually comes out to a cool 35pts. He's an alpha-striker, but don't expect him to be your ace in the hole who will carry you through to end game.

Cartel Maurauders are good, cheap ships. And worth the 20pts. Black Sun Aces are your go-to when you need something a bit more than that. 24pts buys you a Black Sun Ace with Crackshot. 26 adds Glitterstim on it.

Reposting from previous thread.

Have you guys ever used the "brace" talent from FFG's EotE/AoE books? Could someone use it to remove a setback dice from an enemy's cover? It's so vague (there not being any examples doesn't help) that I'm not really sure how to handle it.

Isn't aiming a better maneuver?

>>44467519

Or just run 3 Cartel Marauders and 2 Cartel Spacers with Mangler cannons.

>>44467591

Aiming doesn't remove setback, it just gets you more Boost dice which doesn't necessarily mean the check will go better for you.

I have a PC who braces regularly, mostly to get rid of a setback from using his weapon with the Riot Shield - I've also allowed it to eat setback dice for being over-encumbered and the like.

A GM could add a few setback for any number of reasons, Brace is kind of a broad counter to that. Like "I want to shoot my rifle from this moving space car to the other moving space car, never mind that we're at enough speed we can move several km in a single combat round", that's probably calling for a setback or two.

So as someone who owns neither an A-wing or a B-wing, what benefit does buying a rebel aces pack give me over buying the two individually?

>>44467581
I think it's stated somewhere that most contemporary ballistics would be ineffective against any half decent armor and just bounce off like nothing, and that blisters are popular because they counter the use of most combat armor.

Also, bullets are probably able to be stopped mid flight via the force, making them ineffective against a force sensitive.

>>44467582
On Wedge? Tough call. Predator is a good standby. If you can get outside of someone's arc, Outmaneuver makes him lethal as fuck. Veteran Instincts is a good way to secure him as top PS. Expert Handling isn't a bad option if you give him an R2 and don't want to go with an Engine Upgrade.

But lately? I've been loving Crackshot.

>>44467591
Heavy ass fog that's adding 3 setback, or any multiple instances of unsuitable conditions at once that are adding 2 or more setbacks, will benefit from multiple ranks of Brace more than aiming in combat scenarios. And Brace can be used on any check imposed by shit conditions. So somebody trying to fix stuff or heal somebody in a sandstorm would benefit from it while Aiming wouldn't be applicable.

And no, you can't use Brace on cover.

>>44467715
>>44467591

The setback die from Cover is basically Ranged Defense 1 - and extended to checks like Perception and Vigilance because there's a physical object between you and the target.

>>44467670
For the A-Wing, it brings the points down a bit if you don't want to use a missile, adds a GREAT missile option, and has a title (2 copies) that lets A-Wings equip 2 EPTs.

For the B-Wing, it doesn't do that much. Some neat pilots, and 2 copies of a card that adds a crew slot.

That said, buying 1 of each normal expansion and 1 aces pack gives you a great pile of stuff, since aces has enough upgrades to cover the normal A/B.

Jokes aside, I've heard a lot about K4 over Recon but I have a hard time not loving the mountains of defensive focuses and the option of TLing when I feel like it. My main concern is what to do with the 15 points I have left over.

>>44467670

Some neat pilots, some extra upgrades, and a couple of mods and titles that really change up the game when it comes to your ships. A-Wings get a title that lets you take TWO EPTs and a torpedo mod that reduces the ship's cost if you don't want to take missiles, and B-Wings get an upgrade that lets them carry a Crew card.

Get both Aces and the individuals.

Aces has Kyle and Jan crew cards, some good pilots, the a-wing missile refit, proton rockets, Test Pilot title giving you two EPTs, and the b-wing crew mod.

The individual kits give you different pilots, fire control system in the B-Wing, and push the limit in the a-wing.

>>44467389
This is Lando we're talking about. It would be more surprising if someone in the post-Endor generation wasn't one of his kids. DL-44 malt liquor: it works every time.

>>44467552
I never got the Palob+Opportunist love, it seems like your limited turret range+limiting to green moves makes the worst of the HWK's already crappy dial.

What all do you have for ships?

>>44467542
So uncivilised...

>>44467770
The K4 is nice so long as you're doing greens, and works well if you're getting stress from another combo (like opportunist). The Recce Spec is good if you feel like you need a mountain of focus, but Scum HWKs don't tend to need it as much.

The two Mangler-scyk idea is more to compliment the Khyraxxz, and make people rage when you kill them... With scyks. Otherwise, yeah Scyks are in a bad place.

With 15pts, you could always go Z-95 bannana pirate with an advanced homing missile, -or- a bugzapper array. Bugzappers make hilarious blockers.

>>44467855
Palob + Opportunist actually works pretty well when you've got other ships also fueled off Opportunist. Kath with a K4 is a great example. Range 1 to 2 is easy to stay in, and someone like Kath can exploit the Opportunist while slow rolling around with green maneuvers and free target locks. People stop laughing at Palob and Kath when they watch their ace take 6 dice to the face.

>>44467855
I've got a fuckton of everything, that's not the issue. I did consider Expert Handling for BR shenanigans

>>44468007
You could also go Torkul Mux, and give someone else Predator (or a couple ships). Mux + Predator is a really dirty combo.

>>44468007
I've been running Palob/Torkil with EH/EU respectively, I feel like they need the range control much of the time. As long as Palob has the title he should be fine.

>>44467616
Definitely stealing this for my next EotE character.

What ship is closest to the Serenity?

>>44468007
Try dropping the Binayre to just Dead Man's Switch. Pain in the ass blocker, even if you don't quite get the block due to no move actions, shooting at it won't be in their best interests.

>>44468064
I just realized that once the Dorsal Turret is released, you'll be able to run Torkul Mux with it, and give him three Black Sun Aces with Predator.

What's smashball?

So I've been thinking about running a Star Wars RPG for my group and I can't decide if I should stick with Saga, which I'm already familiar with, or dive into the FFG games. Looking over FFG's books I actually quite like the sound of the system, except those god damned dice. I doubt anyone in my group is going to be willing to buy them, so we're probably going to end up with just one set between us and the browser based die roller. Also I was kind of hoping the new system would solve the problem of feeling like I need to pour over a dozen different books to find all the content I want like with Saga, but the FFG game seem to suffer from the same problem with it being divided into the three core books.

Any opinions?

>>44468128

Well, apparnelty Mobquet Medium Transport models actually appear in the background of some Firefly episodes, but in terms of role, something like a GX1 Short Hauler or a Nova Courier probably fits best. Or any number of CEC designs. CEC must make like 80% of their dosh on space trucks.

>>44468243

Technically speaking, you only need one core book to run the game. It has all the basics you need in terms of appropriate equipment, ships and rules, etc. You can run all smugglers/scum, all Rebels or all Jedi out of a single core. And if you have a player who is a specific career they may benefit from looking through their associate splatbook, as you as a GM will benefit from the advice and elements specific to that class.

If you want to integrate all that stuff, then you actually want to look at multiple cores. But that really depends on the type of game you want to run.

Having some trouble with Jedi Academy. I'm on the mission where you infiltrate Vader's Castle with Kyle. I got to the part where you and Kyle split up in the trash compactor; after flipping the switch and meeting back up, I can't figure out what to do. I seem to remember Kyle opens a door for you, but I'm not sure. Regardless, he isn't doing anything, he just stutters around the room with the three dark jedi. Is it glitched?

>>44468243
My group gets by with one set of dice, which came with the Beginner Box. Might add another pack one we get higher level.

I actually wished the market was bigger on space trucks, and that not every-goddamn-light freighter is made by CEC.

But thats part of the setting - if you want a light freighter, CEC is where its at.

>>44468246
They actually do.

>>44468461
Yeah, but Yoda wouldn't have known how many survivors there were. Shit, he probably didn't know that obi-wan was for sure still alive until 0bby till Luke showed up

>>44468141
Dead man wasn't really exciting me, I was thinking Hotshot or Feedback

>>44468509

Yoda knew Obi-Wan was alive, he met up with him to teach him how to lived forever.

>>44468223
I'm not sure it's ever been fully elaborated on, just passing references. It seems like it might be quasi-similar to US football.

Dude, I'm so excite for my upcoming game of FFG Star wars. I've been collecting a shit ton of homebrew stuff for the campaign since despite owning the three core books (and a few addons) very little of what I am hoping to use is going to be included in the books time periods.

I'm basically running the Phantom Menace, except instead of Jin and Kenobi, they've sent up 4 Jedi, who then encounter an astromech and a Mandalorian warrior when they run off.

Cannot wait to see how they fuck up the timeline, considering we're all fans and know the movies, books, and games pretty well.

I just need the star wars themes to play in the background while we play.

Anyone have any tips to build an enemy Jedi capable of providing a decent challenge to two jedi?

>>44468509
Didn't Yoda specifically mention he knew about Luke longing to leave Tatooine most of his life and how Yoda had been watching him? That's got to take some powerful awareness force magic.

>>44468128
>>44468219
>>44468246
It's a damn big ship, probably about the same size as an Action-class, maybe a little shorter.

>>44468474

Well, I mean, it makes a lot of sense, as CEC has a decent strategy - they make deliberately modular ships which are rugged and have lots of room to customize. If you don't care for how one model in particular turns out, you can check out a different model. There's a couple of designers over the years who have designs which are useful or popular, though that doesn't mean that like 50% of freighter/transport classes in FFG aren't CEC models.

And then they turn that money into the big deal ships like Corvettes and Gozantis, and Starbolt Assault Carriers.

>>44468606
Inquisitor rules from FaD; you'll want to be careful with what you give him if he's only going against the 2 Jedi since 2 force-sensitives might have a very rough time depending on how they're made.

In Jedi Academy I can't get past the part on Vjun where you get ambushed by four sith at once. One just chokes me to death and there's no way for me to escape. It's fucking bullshit. How do I enable chats? When I use devmapall or helpusobi1 in the console it just says "cheats are not enabled on this server". What the fuck does that mean?!

Man, the plot of The Crystal Star makes no sense. Why did they need the weird "Howlrunnder strapped to a big ass cargo pod" ship to get Dyzm free? They already got him on board Leia's cruiser in the start, and managed to sneak out enough plague bugs to destabilize the whole region in a pandemic!

Why NOT just spread from there? Sure it would be a slower spread than taking an entire shipping container of Droch bugs out in one go, but that's surely all they needed.

Such a simple use of the Force that carries with it a huge amount of emotional weight. It's just picking up a ship and moving it, but to our apprentice, it seems like the impossible, and the score is done perfectly for the scene with Based John Williams.

Are the FFG RPG starter sets any good? I've been thinking about picking up the F&D or EoE starter sets as an intro to the respective games. Can the real games cross over normally, or is it like the 40k FFG games where there is a power curve between them?

>>44467737
Brace doesn't work on cover, at all. 1 section, 3rd question. https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/108101-ffg-developer-answered-questions/

The idea of brace is that you're preparing yourself or positioning yourself in a way that helps against poor environmental conditions. Negating Defense from Cover is more covered by Precise Aim, and trying to negate Setbacks when doing Perception/Vigilance checks through objects is more covered by stuff like the Multi-Optic Sight attachment.

>>44469334

Nope, no power curve. A 100 XP character in EotE is a 100 XP character in AoR is a 100 XP character in F&D.

FS tend to get pretty brutal at high XP levels due to force powers and lightsabers, but for everyone else there's shit like rolling 5 yellow to fly the ship or autofire/blast weapons.

>>44469148
I can't believe you don't know that push escapes choke.

Even scrub tier enemies will do it to you, it's the reason choke is useless on force users unless you fling them.

Look up the code to enable cheats and put g_saberrealisticcombat on, set it to 3 at least.

>>44469291
It sucks that you can't say that it's good without people crawling up your ass about Red Letter Media. Like it was impossible to have enjoyed the originals before them.

>>44469356

Which is what I said, but simpler and more assumptive that the reader understands the game rules already.

>>44469387
>Look up the code to enable cheats and put g_saberrealisticcombat on, set it to 3 at least.
Oh, it's different for Academy, I was remembering the Outcast codes.

Interchangeability is approximately 100%
The only thing is deciding which motivation mechanic(s) you want to use

>>44467408
I bet you're a hit with.... everyone.

>>44469334
They cross over fine, Force Users will only outclass everyone else if they're in a relatively high XP range (300+) and they're min/max-ing. But even then, a min/max-ing EotE/AoR character will still outclass a min/max-ing FaD character until way high XP levels (probably closer to 600xp).

And you don't really need to buy more than one Beginner Game unless you HAVE to have the different adventures or included tokens/maps. If you only care about one of the adventures, or don't care about them at all, just grab the Beginner Game that seems most interesting and save the rest of your money for dice/supplements if you decide to get a Core book.

In X-Wing, what's more important, upgrades or ships? Particularly for Rebels.

>>44469407

I rewatched the originals in VHS release without all the Lucas crap before VII hit. Figured I might as well touch on the source before stepping into the next chapter.

Why do people crawl up your ass about Red Letter Media? They generally just hate on the prequels and the Lucas edits.

>>44469483
Nar Shadda was a pile of dick, even when you knew where you were going.

I'm able to remember the map layout for pretty much every game I've ever played, and I'm certain it's an ability I developed just in order to deal with those three levels.

>>44469493

Possibly upgrades? Although it's more down to personal playstyle.

In truth both Imperial or Rebels can be played either way.
For rebels some variety of B-Wing swarm used to be very solid, although it's getting replaced for massed TLT Y-Wing swarms these days.
Imperials obviously have their multitude of TIE Swarm lists.

On the other side of things you have stuff like Super-Dash and Fat Han, or Vader + Fel + Emperor in a Shuttle builds.

>>44469589

Depends on the ships. Upgraded ship > Base ship at least.

>>44469589
When you asked "ships or upgrades" the guy that responded didn't know whether you meant list building or purchasing.

>>44469765
Player skill mitigates luck. I wouldn't put it above it though. I've seen someone get chased for quite a while and they just keep evading shots, especially interceptors.

>>44469493
Yes.

Both are equally important, really. Luckily most upgrades come with ships you want, and are worth having... Unless it's from another faction, but half the fun of this game is how each faction plays differently, and how it takes so little to play more than one faction.

>>44469589
No. Lots of ships, a.k.a. Swarms, are good in their own right. Few, heavily upgraded ships, a.k.a. Aces, also have their merit. For example, Soontir Fel and Vader can be amazing. So can a Tie Fighter swarm led by Howlrunner. 4 B-Wings with Fire Control Systems -or- Advanced Sensors is a powerful list, and so is a souped up Han Solo with Corran Horn.

Basically, there is no "better" way to build ships in general. Just some ships lend themselves to upgrades and expensive, but good pilots (i.e. Interceptors), while other ships lend themselves well to swarms (Tie Fighters, Z-95s). And some ships can be used as either.

True, though sometimes reviewers can point out things you might have missed, and you can get a second opinion. Though it should be considered either supplementary, to help establish a deeper understanding of one's own opinion, or as a means of warning you off a bad movie.

>>44469573

You can think the prequels sucked and Empire ruled entirely independent of RLM, I love the simple scenes like this that establish character growth and establish an emotional connection without excessive action and a relatively simple setup. One that ties to its conclusion in a meaningful way.

Well, it could make a good pocket capital ship for say, a Rebel cell using Contribution rank but other than going with Kanan as a guardian there's not a lot of reason to slap it in the book.

No idea, this is just some more information I've managed to pick up from people who actually have the book. We had an anon with some quality reveals a while back maybe they can look for pictures.

>>44469934
But EA Battlefront is very easy to get lost on, you spawn where the fuck ever the computer hits on a dartboard and die so fast there's no time to explore and find/reinforce vantage points. Lack of single player means no practice either.

>>44469911

>I lament that TFA was extremely lacking in that respect.

I sadly agree. I would have love some more simple scenes. Poe having some more time with Finn for bromance, Rey learning a bit more or empathising with Finn a bit more, some more time with Han, probably feeling how worn out he is on the whole "life" thing...

I did like the scene when Finn sees Poe for the first time after the crash, seeing him alive. I mean, that held a little weight of its own delivered purely by the characters.

>>44469921

A fic? Just read Truce of Bakura, where Luke gets over it and Leia has to get over the fact that Darth Vader's her father. I mean, Luke had a hard enough time dealing with that knowledge, Leia learns on Endor that Luke is her brother and also how Vader is her dad. She needs some time to process things as well.

>>44470005
>Poe having some more time with Finn for bromance

I was advocating the removal of the tie fighter escape scene the other day and people kept saying how vital that pointless action was.

Different strokes, i suppose.

>>44467157
>Fuck it I could have gone either way on Rey but like a twenty-something from Manchester you fucks have successfully radicalised me, now I love her.

Pretty much this. I'm actually gay for Poe. And Finn's fun too, but it wasn't until some /swg/ anon's started complaining about Rey that I had the time to reflect on her and ended up deciding that I like her too.

As she stands for me now, episode VIII's going to have to make her backstory especially awful, like a Sheev's secret clone or Kylo Ren's twin sister kinda nonsense, for me to dislike her.

>>44470069
>Pretty much this. I'm actually gay for Poe. And Finn's fun too, but it wasn't until some /swg/ anon's started complaining about Rey that I had the time to reflect on her and ended up deciding that I like her too.

I can accept that she can fight, i can accept that she can fly smallcraft,

but her flying the falcon through the star destroyer was a bit much. Imagine a regular person who can drive a car jumping into a semi truck and just being perfect at driving it through traffic.

That's only two dimensions to worry about.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to accurately fly the falcon through narrow spaces considering you cannot see the left side of the thing and there are no wing mirrors. Only lando or han, with their shitload of experience could do it reasonably.

>>44470057
It wasn't vital, it was just awesome. There wasn't enough ships as it is, and for all the scenes to remove or cut short the TIE battle isn't high on the list.
Axe Ren's hissy fits instead, or cut the entire point between Han and Chewie picking up the Falcon and them escaping on it.

Nothing more needed to be developed between the two characters though.

Ren's hissy fits are a vital part of his character though.

If you cut out all of the pointless blasting and whooping, you could have given more than 15 seconds to finn getting his name.

Everybody knows that Poe and Finn have the best romance in Star Wars history.

>>44470132

>>44470185

It was a silly scene that just reminded me that the characters were immortal due to their value to the plot.

Even Anakin hit shit in his pod racer.

>>44470132

>Imagine a regular person who can drive a car jumping into a semi truck and just being perfect at driving it through traffic.

Which would be bad if you were actually a normal person, and not a latent psychic space wizard. Like, I think kind of the point is that you go "Huh, Rey's really good at this", and the movie is supposed to build to kind of an understated conclusion that she's quite powerful. She's the classic talent no training character.

Which will hopefully make some scenes in VIII interesting if Luke takes any cues from his teacher about "unlearn what you have learned" and all that.

>>44470169
Finn likes Poe because:
1) The guy is Resistance, and Finn has realized that means the morally superior faction
2) Poe is a badass who got him out of the First Order alive
3) Poe is a major badass who saved him from the First Order again
4) Poe vouched for him to get into the Resistance

That's much more than Han and Luke had together by Empire.

>>44470057

It was a rather pointless action scene. They could have instead used their combined abilities to figure out a more subtle escape. It'd be a difficult rewrite considering the setup, but action for the sake of action is excessive. It was kind of annoying how a single fighter could cause problems for a ship that large.

>>44470141

Yeah, Han and the freighter seemed a bit much. I would have loved axing the squiddly chase scene, though, despite how satisfying it was watching the thing get pulled apart across the Falcon's cockpit.

>>44470185

>MIDI-CHLORIANS, SON

Though I'm starting to think she has experience, it's just locked away in her memory. Kylo manages to pull the memory of the island in the sea from her head, info that is highly pertinent to the final scene where she sees Luke, so she hasn't been pulled out of a vacuum. If she has an affiliation with Luke, maybe she has one with Han and the Falcon as well?

>>44469995
Just as well you have no time to learn the maps, or the fact there's only four fucking planets would really grate on you.

>>44470227
I don't think it was much tighter than when lando flew into the second death star. The tightest spot in that was when it clipped the rectenna off.

>>44470245
>Which would be bad if you were actually a normal person, and not a latent psychic space wizard.

So why did ANH go to the trouble of stating that luke was good at flying?

Force, yes. But it's a bad way to frame a character in a movie to just have that ass-pull for whatever you want.

>>44469921
Maybe? Just like the Anakin podracer thing, it all depends on whether writers find it interesting or not.
>>44469951
>>44469964

>>44470293
>So why did ANH go to the trouble of stating that luke was good at flying?

That's him saying he's a good shot more than a good pilot. Or maybe both simultaneously.

She doesn't have Force training, so her using the Jedi mind trick was bullshit, but she's established as a badass mechanic, knows how to fly well enough that getting in a superior ship gives her advantages over TIE Fighters (fuck your shields, they're still just eyeballs), and knows how to scrap in a fight using melee weapons.

But yeah, the mind trick was complete bullshit. I'd have shrugged it off if Han had been telling her a story about Luke doing something like that while at the bar, but that came outta nowhere. Probably from a cut scene, but that shit won't fly until the director's cut.

Except you know, Lando flew through the the radius of the Death Star twice, and had to maneuver through narrow passages far longer than Rey ever did. Not to mention he raced a goddamned explosion the second time, all while acting as a general for the Rebel Fleet, and leader of the fighter squadrons.

Plus he's a smooth pimp, suave debonaire, was quickly forgiven for backstabbing his friend(s), govenor of a goddamned mining city, and probably banged Solo's girlfriend at some point during his carbonite freeze. I'm not saying Lando's a Mary Sue, but Lando's a Mary Sue.

Turns out having to focus on day-to-day survival gives you a strong will to succeed.

Meanwhile Luke had a defeatist attitude about pulling his xwing out of a swamp, and thus couldn't do it.

Also I don't think there's any information on how exactly a mind trick works, if it's just plant an idea and they go with it, the step by step thing doesn't work.

>>44470504

Depends on the context.

In X-Wing, regular ones look like a good, solid hit, though a little pricey. Not pricey for what they can do, but just a little pricey as a torp.

Advanced necessitate you getting up close and personal, but if you've got a Focus Token or abilities that affect Focus results in some way, it's damned powerful. Also even pricier.

If you are willing to spend those points and support investing in a powerful hit like that, you can probably make out well with it, but over reliance seems like a bad idea.

Remember that stage on the mining planet where you had to jump onto a pipe you couldn't see and navigate your way into a room that filled up with radiation every 20 seconds and blow up the machine that produced the radiation so you could ride that mining cart through the facility?

Her piloting was average for Star Wars and she didn't outfly either tie pilot. The *only* thing she did was line up Finn's shot for him using the force. Then she uses the force to shut a blast door. Then she used the force to shoot a stormtrooper. Then Ben pro bed her mind and the mind wipe of her Jedi training before being saved from Ben killing the Jedi kicked in.

Every Jedi ever goes 'You will...'

Maybe that's not how a mind trick works, since Kylo Ren reaches into their mind to make them say what he needs to know, but that's what Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Luke and every other fucking Jedi does.

And Rey, apparently, despite the fact that she's not learned it from anyone, and the guy she's allegedly copying doesn't do it that way.

>>44470687
It was difficult. Why shouldn't it be?

>>44470169
The first time I saw it I had this Like/Dislike thing with Poe. He just didn't seem "right".
Watching it the second time I definitely liked him. He's a wise-ass and all but when you look at what he says it really seems like he knows he's a natural but also knows how to do things the hard way. When he was flying with Finn as well as in group he took what ever limited input the others gave him and also gave them a sort of "this is how you do it" explanation for things. He struck me (and this is with what we were given) as a good Teacher as well as walking the walk.

>>44470504
In X-Wing, meh. They require some setup, and hit for only 4 dice (admittedly with a boost). And they cost 4pts. There are better options now, like Ion Torpedoes if you want to pay that much, or Plasma Torpedoes.

In Epic games however? Absolutely! A good volley of Torps from a trio of X-Wings can do some serious hurt to a huge ship! B-Wing groups are rightfully feared by huge ships, because they can pack a fuck-ton of firepower and/or strip you of energy through mass Ion.

It's established that there are legends about what the Jedi could do and that Rey is well familiar with them. It's not inconceivable that she heard about Jedi mind tricks and decided to try pulling one off. If she succeeded on her very first try I'd call bullshit, but it took her multiple attempts to get it to work.

>>44470752
I'm all for difficult games. In this case, the difficulty hinged on finding an extremely difficult path.

The fact that she raw-powered Ren and both blocked and read him would give her elements of training. - HIS TRAINING.
Also she was pretty damn fucking angry - a lot.
(which after the attempted mind-rape might be feedback from Ren.) But that shit she pulled woudl get her darkside points in the old D6 game. Hell JEDI FALLEN. GM TAKES OVER CHARACTER would have been the result.

Let's get a break from all the TFA talk.
Tell us about your best/coolest/most fun Star Wars character you played. System doesn't matter as long as it's a flavor of Star Wars.

Mine's probably pic related from a old WEG d6 Star Wars game. A Chadra-Fan mechanic that loved to tinker with absolutely everything and could act as a second-rate slicer if needed. I found it very refreshing to not play a combat character as all i played before Squeak were DnD heavy hitters. Sure the first sessions were a bit touch-and-go (and when i think back severely cringeworthy) but I feel like playing Squeak made me rethink my approach to RP and combat, plus made me think outside the box when push came to shove.

My favorite moment playing him was when i jury-rigged up a slapdash remote control system for three TIE fighters we had "acquired" and later used them as a official escort detail to get the hell out of dodge from a full Imperial planetary lockdown.

Average for 2015. Age of Ultron Tier at best.

Any other director would have made it a far better film.

Ok guys I just saw TFA and I just bought the starter kit of TFA X-Wing. What is the most effective way to brake Poe Dameron because I can't Masturbate to my husbando unless I can break his in game mini.

Because they're naive and thought it was no longer a threat after the concordance, believing that they could control what remained of the Imperial high command after they got rekt at Jakku.

The First Order is the military junta that reorganized the empires forces under younger, more ambitious leaders. The New Republic didn't want another war so soon, so it assumed the rumors of a "Starkiller base" to be fear-mongering by war hawks who wanted to wipe out the empire, Leia being one of these old guard.

I have played in unfortunately few SW games, but I'd have to say that my favorite would be Old Republic era, was a wookiee crime lord.

Game opened with him escaping from an assassination attempt from a rival, along the way picked up some last-minute passengers in the form of some jedi and a batshit crazy (male) twilek gunslinger. I don't fully recall exactly what they were doing, but they needed a ship, I had a ship, so I became the party taxi, more or less. I was also worryingly close to being the party's moral compass, which is an interesting thing when you're, you know, a crime lord.

Trying to dredge up some memories of what exactly was going on, I think the first thing I was involved in was heading to Ilum so the jedi could get crystals and make their first lightsabers and stuff. From there, it's mostly a blur, I recall one of the jedi got framed for murdering their wife (was a conehead, they're apparently allowed to shag), then whoops everyone's master is actually a dark jedi, which resulted in two of them following their masters while the super paladin jedi joined me and the twilek in getting the fuck out of there.

There was also a rather memorable event during the surprise darkside where me and the twilek are holding out against some sith troopers, and he's all "don't tell [paladin jedi] about this" before he turns and force lightnings the fuck out of the troopers, letting us get to our ship. Apparently the cheeky bugger had been getting force training on the sly from a holocron we had.

The Empire assraped the galaxy, the Empire lostHARD at Jakku and was forced into the far Outer Rim.

But Rey will inevitably fall to the Dark Side in Episode VIII, anon. The whole first act of TFA emphasized how she stayed living on that horrible desert planet despite her suffering just in the hope that her parents would come back and she could see them again.

When Luke reveals that he's her father, and left her there so he could go off and meditate on the edge of inhabited space, she's going to go nuts. And since she's already strong with the force and not properly trained, she'll be wearing a black cape and killing innocents in no time at all.
