To add on I'd say the A-wing should be at speed 7 based on that chart. But I'm not sure any starfighter even reaches that normally in the system. Though if you removed one hardpoint from it you could in theory.

Question for Mandaboos: Why did the Taung let themselves get wiped out? Other Mandalorians survived the wars

>>50685876
This.

You should incorporate a reason why the Emperor has to stay there.

Like a banquet or party in his honor.

>>50685892
I think it was some kind of disease or genetic dead-ending. It would be cool if a few survived in isolation, same as the Sith species. Both have really great visual design so having them wiped-out by the time of the trilogies is a real tradgedy.

Tell me about your Imperial campaigns, /Swg/. I've been thinking about running one someday, and I need some good examples.

I know this isn't /tg/ related but I felt like telling somebody and this seemed like a good place.

Today I managed to not only get into the core ship on RC, which I never managed in my youth without the help of my older brother, but managed to make it off of the core ship too, with precisely 0.001 seconds left in the countdown.

Holy balls. They sold this game to children?

>>50687853
I set a campaign with a group of imperial officers and crew chiefs that were commanding a gozanti helping in the genocide of Geonosis. It was a massive shitshow, ending with the group murdered by imperial intelligence for misinterpreting orders and actually going rogue trying to join a rebel outfit. My favorite moment was them vandalizing their ships and uniforms because they thought that was for the best, then entering a known imperial controlled town wearing defaced uniforms because hey, the armor is a nice bonus.

I've posted this before, but I'm pausing my established campaign to run a Holiday Special One-Shot. Plot is as follows:

COMPNOR's High Colonel Grover Stinch has been assigned to guide the "Cultural Adjustment" of Kashyyyk. As part of this process, he has deemed this so-called Life Day to be an affront to high galactic culture and banned its celebration, effective immediately. He has seized the gifts and toys for all the little wookiee girls and boys, and had stormtroopers tear down all the holiday decorations.

The military is instructed to enforce a strict curfew - any wookiees found in violation are to be sentenced to hard labor in the slave labor pools.

Your party, all wookiees, must infiltrate the Imperial warehouse in which their clan's seized decorations and gifts have been impounded, steal them back, and covertly distribute them, restoring the Life Day good cheer to all.

But beware... the Empire won't make it easy.

Pic related: he's a mean one, Grover Stinch.

We used to go 'carp bashing' in the summer here when I was growing up, they're a noxious pest.
Mostly when the rivers would get shallow and run around spearing them with bits of sharpened reo-rod on a length of broomstick. Though I have done it with an old .303 jungle carbine that wasn't much good for anything else past 30ft.

Nah they're a rubbish fish here that taste like mud.
You can eat them if you where pretty hungry, but never been that hard up to get into them and they're really stinky too. The European ones are the main pest here, they grow fucking massive in the dams, at a lookout we could see them swimming around like torpedos, roughly 4-5ft long and if you hook up to one while you're fishing you'll know about it because they charge pretty hard. Most are only 1-2ft long though.

https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/236948-soilers-but-not-what-you-think/

Well, all Wave X got spoiled, looks like some interesting things here.

Unspoiled Quadjumper pilot Sarco Plank is PS5 with an EPT, 18 points. His ability basically is instead of using the ship's 2 agility, you can roll a number of defense dice equal to the maneuver speed you used this round, so if you say, do a speed 3 you can roll 3 instead of 2, or if like a tractor would reduce your agility by 1, if you did 2-3 you can roll more, etc.

Black Squadron Scout does indeed have an EPT, and comes in at... 20 points. No 5 Blackcrack Strikers for you. Scarif Defender is 18 points.

Zeb in rebel TIE fighter is, in fact, 13 points.

And the upsilon might actually have an okay dial for a shuttle. It has 2 white turns, red 1 and 3 turns, white 1 and 3 banks, and then 2 straight/banks and the 1 straight are green. 3 forward white.

Yeah, they're real similar. It's a big improvement over the Lambda.

>And why the fuck are Black Squadron Scouts 20? This is bullshit levels of bad.

I don't know why, but it seems like FFG is strictly against 5 of certain ships with upgrades. You can't run five Protectorates with title, for example. It's not just the 3 attack, but the 3 attack with something extra, seems. You can run five of the PS1s with the Frame, I'm just not sure you would. I mean, nobody runs 5 alphas with autothrusters.

thats such a good dial for imperial large ships its not even funny, not as green as I would have hoped but its good enough for me

>>50690558
>And why the fuck are Black Squadron Scouts 20?

Because FFG hates Imperials.
It's easier to see in Armada but it's in X wing to a lesser extent too.

Personally I blame Sheev, he limits their design space so much that they can't function without him and they just give scum and rebs more and more tools to counter him. Swarms don't work anymore, cloak doesn't work anymore, they wont give us unique upgrades, and they are persistent to never give us a new theme or reward us for actually having to fly well to do mediocre.

>>50691355
Formulate it like an Indiana Jones adventure.

The PCs hear rumor about a clue emerging, said to lead to an ancient artifact. They get the clue, which solves a riddle to reveal a holocron that points them in the direction of (a number of) the ancient site(s).

But the whole time, an Inquisitor/dark side adept and her archeologist sidekick are right on the player's tails.

Capture the artifact before the Empire can.


Idea for this artifact:

Another superweapon? Nah...

Instead, it's some sort of datacron thing but bigger, that can sense the Force sensitives in the galaxy and autonomously records their locations - used to be used by the Jedi to find Force sensitive younglings, but lost to time. Now the Emperor wants to track down the legend and see if it's real afterall.

>>50690778

I'm pretty sure the project lead for Armada loves Imps. Have you not seen what the interdictor can do?

Might stat the U-Wing and new Imperial Shuttle for saga edition later, although there are a few interior scenes I'm not sure are inside the U-Wing or Shuttle, I'll probably revise and post my stats after I see Rogue One

>>50692107

I have seen what the Interdictor can do, I have on sitting on the shelf with the rest of my fleet.

The thing is you pay heavily for the abilities it brings - Interdictors can easily end up costing as much as an ISD, but without the kind of crushing power an ISD can bring. That price tag means it can't just be added willy nilly, you need to plan around it to try and get the most out of it.

So if you are banking on G7 projectors holding up the enemy as part of your plan, having a 5 point upgrade void your entire strategy seems kinda bunk. Especially when you consider how much goes into even attempting that plan it the first place. The fact that that same upgrade also hurts tractor beams, Konstantine and G8s just rubs salt on it, especially when you consider that stacking nav commands already undermined them.

And as a counter point, name a unique Imperial upgrade that shuts down that many Rebel upgrades.

There isn't one

>>50692432

As an addendum:

https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/234698-2016-17-regionals-data/

According to the consolidated regionals data people on the FFG forum have been collecting, Rebel players have won 10 of the 13 regionals thus far, with Imperials wining only 3 and only reaching the top 4 2/5ths of the time.

Those Imps that did win didn't even use Interdictors or Konstantine, and this is before you invalidate those as options.

I just don't see the need to apply what's essentially a hard nerf to tools that are suboptimal to begin with.

I guess the only upside is that most rebel players are going to be too busy taking All Fighters Follow Me to bother with Entrapment.

Turns out that this thing is incredibly difficult to get a good shot of. My thoughts as far as statline for it are 4 attack, 0 evade, 8 hull and 3 shield with slam added to the action bar and a second crew slot, a bomb slot and a cannon slot added. Rear arc can still only shoot 2 dice. Should give it pretty insane speed and versatility with an astromech and 2 crew and the normal arc dial with slam.

Super late to the party but I am picking up x-wing with my brothers to play and was wondering if there are missions designed around 3 player games?

Also are there any ships I absolutely should avoid getting? I know the advanced tie fighters were bad for a while but I believe they got fixed somehow.

CGI, just like young Leia at the very end. It was very well made actually.

Some people say it's creepy but I guess they weren't expecting it, but I knew thee was meant to be 2 holograms to show characters from the OT, because 1 actor was dead, and the other old, so I wasn't surprised to see both of them, the super glad.

They even get dialogues, and quite a lot for someone who's dead in the case of Tarkin.

Really, I expected nothing from the movie, and I got blown away. They did damn good. I'd copy paste the opinion from another anon from /tv/ if that doesn't bother anyone.

If like me, you were drawn to the movie mainly for the battle scenes, you'll fucking love it. The 3rd act blows pretty much every SW out of the waters on that point. Yes, even TESB, since you have TB-TT in here as well

triple defender gets play too. And triple defender is not exactly 'ace' as your PS tops out at 6.
The problem is that palp solves so many problems for ace lists that there will always show up.

And you're pretty damn quick to call it 'stale'. I don't know where you're getting your expectation, but this is multiple versions of general strategy in one faction in a non-rotating game. How fast were you expecting this to change?

>>50694700

>>50687853
My PCs were working for an old Clone Wars vet in the Outer Rim - a kind of backwards system for folks that got sideways promoted out (nobility that weren't very good at their jobs and high ranking commanders that couldn't be reasonably imprisoned, would never rebel, but also weren't so hot on the whole planetary destruction thing).
Most of their campaign was defending against rebel partisans, quite a lot from out of system, whilst also dealing with Imperial elements that were unsatisfied with their level of moustache twizzling villainy. This got worse post-RotJ.

>>50694700
>>a lot of fan services, references and easter egg
How "deepest lore" are we talking? Is it just references to the other movies and Rebels or are there nods to the EU like Operation Skyhook, Garm Bel Iblis and that sort of stuff. I realize its a huge stretch, but I want to believe.

Also, on a scale of 1 to Toprawa how Suicide Mission is it?

>>50686306
A blaster pistol that entirely ignores soak. Also that's not counting if its owner has any Mechanics skill at all, they can almost immediately turn it into a Crit 1, Damage 7 murder machine that chops enemies and their weapons in twain.

>>50696762
Nah, it doesn't have references to the EU or anything but loads of cameos, quickshots of stuff known, etc.

Eeeh it's hard to describe it. I don't want to spoil it too much but basically a small group decides fuck it and to go do something because others don't have the balls to, it doesn't look too much like a suicide mission at first and the others come to help them, but then the Empire is just stronger on every point and it's sort of a run against the clock. Really don't want to spoil too much but they did some good choices for the characters, as in, what happens to them and all.

I really wish XWA had a gamespeed fast forward like TIE Fighter, especially in custom games where capital ships don't spawn close enough together.

>>50695183
>How fast were you expecting this to change?

I was hoping they could at least try to make Strikers worthwhile. Considering they are basically in-atmosphere Tie Fighters.

Also I would love to have options outside of Palp to play competitively and they are just not willing to give them to Empire while they give Rebs and Scum all sorts of unique tools.

Sheev has stiffled Imperials just by being as good as he is and they are not willing to actually push the boundry.

>>50699850

Stridan Aces will almost assuredly be a thing. You might also see Striker generics to fuel Swarm Leader, they have more hull and more attack dice than a generic TIE while being squirrlier but cheaper than squints. Hotcop+Gunner Decimators are apparently tearing up regionals right now.

>>50696762

Well, I can say the following for fans of rebels:
At one point at Yavin-4, "General Syndulla" is called over the intercom.
The Ghost can also be seen at two points in the movie

Also, more on the line of Episode IV, I can't have been the only one who spotted Biggs?

>>50700445
The different leaders were pretty much obvious though. Green leader goes like his future self as well, screaming. I really expected him to smash into a star destroyer honestly.

>>50700445
Anon I heard a hammerhead corvette takes out an ISD, can you describe that a little?

>>50700701
Gold squadron Ion-torpedoes it to hell, leaving it without any thrust, then the hammerhead carefully rams into the side and burns SLAM-trusters like a tugboat from hell until the ISD starts falling into the planetary shield generator it was above.

>>50700753
Any other cool space moments you liked? What happens to Raddus?

>>50700445
Does the film explain the nucanon Rogue team's connection to ESB Rogue Squadron? No details, please, just a yes or no.

>>50700701
They smash it into the side of it, kick in the afterburner on the engines, and push it into the other ISD that is left with no shields from an earlier ion torpedo attack, effectively cutting it in half and sending booth ships tumbling down into the planetary defence shield.

>>50699850
>strikers to be worthwhile
if they were it was going to be in the nonuniques. So another form of 'aces'
>option outside of Palp
Triple Defender.
>Rebs and Scum all sorts of unique tools
Palp IS a tool, it's just he's an all purpose tool, and so there is always a reason you might consider him.

Why do you think so much of scum runs Manaroo. He supports most anything else you might do. But the variety comes in that he supports multiple things.

You complain about defender being the same thing as before, but it's just the same support for a very different thing. Or are you going to say that Dangaroo, Mindlink Fenn with Manaroo, Strikers with Manaroo, are all the same thing?

If they give the empire a good ship that can be supported, than Palp can support it.

>>50700775
Not much happened in space until the big battle at the end, although the planetary X-wing assault was pretty damn cool.
Not sure what happened to Raddus, we didn't see him go down so I'm guessing captured. Might have escaped though.

>>50700819
Short answer would be yes I guess.
Longer not really spoilery answer would be there isn't any connection

>>50700775
It's not exactly in space but you get some sort of Rebel shuttle with on-board lazer M-60 shooting at TB-TT and destroying one by shooting its leg off during the 3rd act, it was Vietnam in space, fucking glorious. The TB-TT brushing off a rocket straight to the head was pretty cool as well.

>>50702391
Most people don't hate Mandalorians, they hate how Traviss wrote them in Oder 66, Impcom, and all her Legacy of the Force works.

Especially LotF where they routinely smack talked everyone else and never got called out on their own bullshit and highly misinformed insults. It was acceptable to have Kal and Walon bitching about the good old days, and even occasionally insulting the one Jedi Master to his face because he was out of his element AND the OJO had plenty of flaws that even a couple of hired killers could point out without reeking of hypocrisy.

Not so cool if it's Fett and his lot shitting on the New Jedi.

>>50702126
As earlier anon stated, "General Syndulla" is referenced.

I would imagine Kanan will be dead by then, likely Ezra too. Sabine will be leading glorious Mandalore and Zeb will be back on his planet fucking his species back to full strength.

So that leaves Chopper.

Hera and Chopper go to suicide because they can't deal with loneliness anymore.

I like this. I enjoyed RotS when I first saw it in theaters. Admittedly, I was 10 at the time. But still, it's nice to see people can still recognize there was good in there.

>>50702584

Reminds me of this bit from the RotS Novelization:

>This is Anakin Skywalker's masterpiece:

>Many people say he is the best star pilot in the galaxy, but that's merely talk, born of the constant HoloNet references to his unmatched string of kills in starfighter combat. Blowing up vulture droids and tri-fighters is simply a matter of superior reflexes and trust in the Force; he has spent so many hours in the cockpit that he wears a Jedi starfighter like clothes. It's his own body, with thrusters for legs and cannons for fists.

>What he is doing right now transcends mere flying the way Jedi combat transcends a schoolyard scuffle.

>He sits in a blood-spattered, blaster-chopped chair behind a console he's never seen before, a console with controls designed for alien fingers. The ship he's in is not only bucking like a maddened dewback through brutal coils of clear-air turbulence, it's on fire and breaking up like a comet ripping apart as it crashes into a gas giant. He has only seconds to learn how to maneuver an alien craft that not only has no aft control cells, but has no aft at all.

>This is, put simply, impossible. It can't be done.

>He's going to do it anyway.

>Because he is Anakin Skywalker, and he doesn't believe in impossible.

Sleek cybernetics could definitely work, but make them prohibitively expensive for anyone outside of the Core. They could be "designer" cybernetics, for aristocrats and debutantes... but never for some low-life petty crook born to a working-class family.

>The rebels almost kill a child in their first major combat op on screen
New favourite star wars movie

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is an important film, and the fact that the internet thugs of Twitter's "alt-right" have tried to suppress it shows why. Its creators have taken a bold political stance in a post-Trump world, and created a film among dozens of identikit white male power fantasies that corrects the record. The monolithic Empire - and it would be an Emperor leading it not an Empress - is challenged by a diverse group of marginalized figures culminating in a thunderclap of spontaneous protest against the white superiorist Empire led by a woman.

The bravery of this film should not be underestimated, especially compared to last year's The Force Awakens, which promised a POC-led sci fi film but left us watching as our hero played second fiddle to a superannuated Harrison Ford.

America needs Rebels of its own - and maybe the young children seeing this will look beyond the X Wings and lightsabers and say Sheev Palpatine is #NotMyEmperor

>>50707943
This smells like bait to me. That being said the empire has historically been racist against other species and sexist, at least in the EU. I feel like any political meaning is more reading current events onto the movie than the other way around as 1)no one thought Trump would be president and 2)Disney is a Megacorp in it for the dollars.

That being said, alt right people please follow through on #dumpstarwars because once you leave the fandom I won't have to deal with you incessantly pulling your /pol/ stuff into every discussion

>>50708330
Well it doesn't help that the writers are on the side of the political message this lunatic wants to see.

>>50708330
Well yeah, don't you?

But in all seriousness enough of them have been hailing Rogue One as some sort of far-left magnum opus, and nothing in the previews has really disabused me of that notion. It didn't help that The Force Awakens was just A New Hope but with a worse script and replacing good lead actors with a bad female lead and Ooga Boyooga. Rogue One looks like more of the same but this time I already know how the movie ends.

>>50707943
>white superiorist Empire
But the Empire has a blue Grand Admiral. And a black female Grand Admiral who eventually becomes commander of the entire Imperial Navy. And legions of faceless grunts who could be any color. And many of those grunts are/were clones of a brown dude. And the Empire also happily cuts deals with the Hutts and Black Sun, the latter of which employs large numbers of green-skinned aliens.

Also, why is everyone getting in a tizzy about a Rebel group led by a woman? Did everyone forget that the Rebellion's most prominent leaders were Leia and Mon Mothma? Did this writer do no research at all?

Really enjoyed it as it's got a lot of stuff in there if you're a SW fan will answer a lot of questions regarding the rebellion and operations.

Why though? Palpatine is great as an irredeemable villain that's like his entire point in the films. The Yuzzhan Vong shit doesn't really fit with his portrayal in other sources beyond the Byzantine plan aspect it mostly feels like edgy Sith apologism

>>50708578
it is hard to argue with
>ULTIIIIIIMATE POWAH!

>>50708568
Revan was protecting the Galaxy from the Sith. By being a Sith. So yeah most Sith are still in it for the killing

>>50708568
I thought Revan's original goal was just to fight the Sith Empire. Not really extragalactic and they've been there the whole time. He just happened to fall to the Dark Side along the way.

>What is it with the Sith and actually being the only thing standing between the unsuspecting people of the galaxy and horrible death at the hands of ayylmaos from the next galaxy over?
Writers hamfistedly trying to shoehorn grayness into the Sith because they don't understand that the Sith are supposed to be the evil constant in Star Wars faction/morality dynamics. IIRC, Palps' Vong prepping plan could have always been construed as bullshitting to convince Thrawn to sign on with the Empire. ROTS then definitively, conclusively wrote out Palps' true motives in caps lock in the best scene of the entire PT: UNLIMITED POWER.

RotS was worth it for that scene alone.

>>50708578
Well the two aren't really mutually exclusive, him not wanting the evil invading aliens to burn down his shit doesn't automatically make him less of a bad guy. It's not like he was doing it out of the goodness of his heart, and it provides some long-term logic for the Empire's hilariously oversized military aside from putting on shows of force to intimidate space farmers.

I don't care how stupid it was. You could tell he was having the time of his life fucking around like that. I wish Raul Julia had lived long enough to make a movie with him, Jeremy Irons, and Tim Curry.

>>50708679
It just doesn't really feel like a defining reason for why he does what he does. If he wanted to build up the galaxy's military readiness why personally start two Galaxy wide wars in almost as many decades? Even without becoming full on empire he had enough political clout in the Senate to probably start a huge fleet push which he could have sold as "civilizing" the unknown regions. I can maybe buy him using the Vong to retroactively justify his actions to others but there's no way it's even close to his main priority

>>50708742
so this seems to be an inherent gap of acceptance between
>evil cackling epitome of evil, who rules the galaxy with an iron fist for laughs
and
>take over the galaxy to provide absolute order and protection
while the OT and PT leans towards the former, legends leans towards the latter
the argument mostly seems to come down to personal tastes

>>50708777
I think "order" is presented just to get the military types on board. Palpatine still just wants to own everything just because he can.

>>50708742
>Even without becoming full on empire he had enough political clout in the Senate to probably start a huge fleet push which he could have sold as "civilizing" the unknown regions.
The Senate would have eventually thrown a shitfit over out-of-control military spending without a clear and present threat to justify it, and if he had just perpetuated the war forever they'd end up throwing a different shitfit about all the money they're spending on the war not succeeding in ending the war. He'd eventually have to proclaim himself Supreme Emperor of Everything no matter what, not even a Sith Lord can beat a galactic democratic bureaucracy at it's own game.

>>50708777
>legends leans towards the latter
Legends has different interpretations depending on the writer. In one post-Vong book, Han muses that Palps would have just left most of the galaxy to burn in a massive scorched-earth-and-wunderwaffen campaign.

>>50708777
See I could buy the order part (if not so much protection) except that he personally instigated the clone wars, ending 1000 years of political stability so he could seize power. And a lot of the corruption and instability of the senate was stuff he instigated on purpose to make people want a more authoritarian alternative. Someone like Thrawn or Tarkin being a true believer in order and security as the ultimate goal? Sure. But I don't believe that Palpatine believes in anything besides himself.

>>50708818
>not even a Sith Lord can beat a galactic democratic bureaucracy at it's own game

I'm building an assassin droid for a friend's oneshot in Age of Rebellion, and I have a question regarding Two Weapon Fighting.

I bought a Vibrosword and a Punching Dagger, both of which have the Melee skill as their combat skill. When Two Weapon Fighting, does this mean you still apply the Melee skill, instead of selecting the smaller skill and smaller characteristic when building your pool?

Also, to attack with both, I roll 3 purple (two for engaged range band, +1 for two weapon fighting), and as I have purchased Paired Weapons for both, I simply need to roll 1 Advantage to trigger the damage from the secondary weapon?

>>50710095
I can think of a handful of handful of outrage manufacturing sites to add to that. The important thing is to avoid all of those sites with an agenda to rile up the masses... And it goes both ways, because (surprise!) both the right and left have their fair share of dumpster-fire propaganda.

That feel when months ago, you ordered HotR and all of Wave X thinking they would release at the same time.
That feel when FFG just announced that U-Wing and TIE Striker are out.
That feel when I get nothing until everything is out.

The force is with me and I am one with the force

>>50710115
It's the same skill and characteristic, so yeah. Pairing your weapons gives you the opportunity to hit with the second hit for 1 advantage, yes.

>>50711478
Cool, so I wasn't mistaken then, thanks.

>>50711704
No sweat. The last character I played (Zabrak Warrior Aggressor/Starfighter Ace/Shii-cho Knight) did dual-wielding extensively. Especially when he ripped off a shiny vibrosword from a stormtrooper that one time and paired it with a vibroknife.

Ironarm > Nines, prove me wrong

Just sold back my textbooks for this semester. Should I get a K-wing, a U-wing, or Catalyst?

Alright, all of Wave X has been previewed and spoiled. U-Wings and Strikers are shipping now. Rogue One the film is rolling out.

When do we start taking bets on Wave XI? if it really takes FFG like a year of development cycle there's no way they aren't working on it now.

So it's a simple scheme. Tremendous! You give me money, and then get other people to give me money!

Having returned from Rogue One, my only complaint is this (spoiler friendly!):

It makes no sense for that particular ship to have been docked where it was. They could have had the dramatic scene in all the glory, with a man at a console rather than at a door.

>>50714099
Yeah I was surprised and it makes Leia's mock surprise at being captured as little absurd unless you write it of as her being cheeky/formal for the logs.

The ending was great though.

>>50712300
They get the Death Star plans to the rebellion, Death Star goes boom.

I know kids these days don't put much stock in the original trilogy but you could at least remember the basic plot.

>>50714356
>The things that have to happen because they happen in a different film happen

Are you fucking serious? That's not how the film ends that's just what happens afterwards.

>>50714356
You're thinking of the ending of A New Hope, not Rogue One there m8 :^)

https://vimeo.com/195858883

Score's out.

Spoiler: It sucks ass. Barely any Imperial motif in there. I'd rather they released the trailer, teaser and TV spots soundtracks tbqh cause the Rogue One soundtrack is just generic shit.

>>50714430
TFA ost was lackluster too. I hope the trend wont continue because all of the OT and PT had amazing scores. Hell, one of the only good things about PT was the soundtrack.

>>50714181

Beyond that, why was the ship that was being sent to find Obi-Wan docked inside another vessel that was engaging in a battle?

It would have made more sense for the ship to have been at the edge of the system, or just within comms range, receiving the plans as the crew of the flagship tried to delay Vader, finishing the broadcast with moments to spare

I agree, the ending was very good. I look forward to, in a few weeks/once the High Committee of /swg/ decrees it acceptable, for the full discussions of what was seen and what new things we learned.

The Force is with me and I am one with the Force

>>50691355
Any other ideas please and thank you?

Hey, quick question: How does the EotE and related handle languages? I know that pretty much everything speaks basic, but how about other languages?

>>50714455
Krennic's Aspirations is really the only good track if you take a listen. And that's only cause it includes already known motifs.

>>50714485

It largely doesn't from a hard-rules perspective. The species descriptions do talk about the language of the species, as well as any particular special means of communicating, but for the most part it is generally assumed that everyone will be speaking basic/something everyone knows.

Nothing stops you, or the players, making a point of having characters speak a different language, however. Could be an interesting plot point ("Damnit, the only survivor of this mess was a wookie! We need a fluent Shyriiwook speaker, fast!") if you so chose.

>>50714460

The point is moot since the senate had been dissolved by ANH. And since this is Palps, the dissolution was probably very, very literal.

>>50715111
>Hammerhead cruisers are a nod to KOTOR
>Them being in Rogue One is a nod to Rebels

Reference boosting

>>50705436
Because this way Wookiees get to be naturally inept at it.

>>50714485
It depends. Thanks to how interactive all the species are some languages are pretty commonly known by everyone: even if certain species can't actively speak other languages, they can understand them, like Wookiees. It depends on the GM. If a character is a major trader who's lived on Coruscant, you could safely assume they get the basics of most common languages. If the character is a backwoods hunter who's never left his small colonial planet, then that's a different story and you can play around with the language barrier.

>>50705436
There are options IIRC in the book for Coercion matching with Brawn or Presence. Also there are some talents, again IIRC, that let you substitute other things for Coercion.

>>50708443
In the first scene there is an exchange that goes somewhat like this:

"Help the Empire bring peace and order to the galaxy."
"It sounds like terror to me."
"You have to start somewhere."

So no, not a whole lot of ideology beyond a desire for power.

Star Wars draws on American WW2 and post war era tropes and as such is anti-authoritarian and anti-fascist. The Empire are blatantly intended to be space Nazis.

Saw Gerrera was pretty impressive, if you thought rebels where all about doing the right thing, happy feels and all that good shit... well, NOPE! As is Cpt Andor, sometimes while rebelling you're gunna be asked to do some stuff which is pretty nasty. Its definitely got some Dirty Dozen* elements to it that I like, that unorthodox tactics, unwashed scumbags and really taking the stick to the enemy where it will hurt the most, so if you like war films I think you'll probably enjoy that aspect.
