I have a fun Idea for an EotE start-up campaign and would like to ask /tg/ a question to help fill it out.

For all those on /swg/ who have played EotE go ahead and list your top 5 party ships from best to worst. So no limitations as far as cost, rarity, or era, just what you think are the 5 best ships for an EotE group. this is completely subjective and I don't expect everyone will list the same 5 ships. Just want your input.

>>53064189

I have rewritten the 1d4chan page on Armada, because it was shit, and now it is slightly less shit.

I assume that of the other four people ITT that play Armada approximately nobody cares about 1d4chan, but if not, feel free to give it a once over and lemme know if there's anything that could be better.

I didn't touch any of the ship/upgrade stuff at the bottom because I was worried doing so would give me AIDS, so ignore all that.

>>53064208
There's only one ship to rank. The Wayfarer. Detachable cargo pods that let your pilot and party have all sorts of dumb fun if he can handle piloting a space brick. It's weird, it's goofy, it's unique in a sea of YT-Whatevers, and it's actually cheap enough for an EotE group to start with.

>>53064208

#1 E-9 Explorer
#2 Gozanti
#3 Decimator
#4 HWK-290
#5 Lambda Shuttle

Note, this is all personal experience. I would presume that upgraded versions like a Sentinel, C-ROC and HWK-1000 would possibly rate better than their normal versions but I've never had play with them on the table.

Also the Lambda was specifically in an all AoR game, if that's excluded, sub in the GR-75.

>>53064210
So much Heaver related stuff there?

Also, question- How old is heaver?

In that image on the card, he looks in his late 20's. In the coruscant invitational draft video, he looks like he's 45.

I haven't played EotE enough to have 5 favorite ships (and I usually stay as far from ship rules as I can) but we had a campaign where we piloted two dual seat Y-wings. It was neat znd solved the usual issue of half the party doing nothing during space combat.

Hotshot smugglers burn up quick. Let them keep their YT-Shits. Wayfarer crews are a different breed. We're goddamn space trucker outlaws, and you don't want to know what's sitting in this week's module.

Is it a retro-fitted hangerbay holding some fighters? Is it a habitation module for a boring old transport run? Is it a specially converted cargo module that some jackass conservationist sent you schematics for to haul some endangered xenofauna to a game reserve? Is it a reinforced brick of death that you're dropping off mid-flight and in-atmo above backwater Imperial outpost as a suicidal means of shuttling down hot? Is it the abandoned module filled to the brim with spice or some other illicit valuable that was detached in an asteroid belt and never reclaimed?

I'm looking to get into Armada, and I'd like some help with making a list.

I know I want an ISD to be the centerpiece of the list, and then a set of smaller triangles of the same type (Raiders/Victories/Interdictors/etc). I'd also prefer for the list to be 'symmetrical', in that most ships/squadrons would be taken in groups of more than 1.

Does that work as a list? How important are Titles in armada? Since those are unique, I can't run something like 2 gladiators with Demolisher.

so /swg/ can you help me make a purchase list for Armada after core and ISD?

>>53065080

My Rebel players are still reeling from a major attack from the Imperials and are going for a full scale attack on them soon, setting up a trap within an asteroid belt using ion canons and modified thrusters attached to smaller asteroids.

This is spot-fucking-on, by the way. And for everyone, have some expanded rules for the Wayfarer for use in FFG, along with some modern deckplans that fix the hilariously incorrect scale in the old WEG pic.

So I just recently got into X-wing and was reading the 1d4chan article on it. It says the T-65 x-wing is overpriced now compared to other shit, which honestly I don't care much about, I'm not going to be playing it competitively. But in the future when I play a little more seriously with friends, would house ruling their cost down a little bit help them? And what would you guys think is a good cost for them?

>>53065962
Keep them at their price. Learn formation flying and nuke anything with your 12-16 red dice

>>53065962
It's hard to fix by just adjusting the price. what needs to happen is the introduction of a title for the T-65b with the same effect of the Chardaan Refit. The problem that arises in any situation that makes the T-65b cheaper is that it makes Biggs better and he's OP as it is.

>1d4chan
Please don't.

>>53065962

I mean, if you're just going to play more seriously just git gud.

Flying better will let you beat people using just about any ship, and T-65 has great pilot selection and good upgrade selection - it just suffers from being designed first in a game that didn't know what it was gonna be like like 5 years later.

>>53066025

There's not a ton of great places to read about it in my experience. IMO the meta shifts really fast so a lot of stuff gets outdated fast.

Armada Squadron question. Using the squadron shooting/moving ruler thing can a squadron stop BETWEEN numbers or does it have to be on the exact edge of said number? Say I want my tie fighter to move and stay right in the middle of range 2 and 3 can I do that or must I stop at 3?

As I recall you don't have to go the full distance.

>>53066552
There is no light side of the force, there is the Dark side, and there is the force.

Imagine a ton of steel and a ton of feathers on the same scale. This is how the force is at balance. The darkside is a natural thing that on it's own and contained is relatively harmless (see Dathomir Witches).

When you have dickbag sith lords going around and causing pain and suffering throughout the Galaxy, throw on another ton of steel and you throw the force off balance.

Those are kind of weird restrictions but sure.
ISD, 2x TRC Arquittens, 2x Flotilla with Vader, sprinkle squads to taste.

>How important are Titles in armada? Since those are unique, I can't run something like 2 gladiators with Demolisher.
Titles are pretty important, but almost every ship has at least two. You could run ISD/Demolisher GSD/Insidious GSD, for example. Doing so would be more fun than the alternative, because it means your two symmetrical ships would play very differently.

Obviously limited yourself to symmetry is going to be weird and awkward but it's not a huge deal, especially if you're willing to take just a single Gozanti at times.

The only real caveat is that you need to be okay with aces. Playing without any aces would be... an interesting form of suffering.

To clarify what I meant about symmetrical, I mostly meant that if it's not the ISD, that I would have at least 2 of it.

So 2 arq, 2 flotilla? Would a pair of raiders/gladiators/victories be viable?

>>53067062
Creating a character that you get attached through an RPG knowing that they get slaughtered by Kylo Ren's Ginyu Force doesn't have much of an appeal.

Thanks, JJ

>>53068664
>So 2 arq, 2 flotilla? Would a pair of raiders/gladiators/victories be viable?
Well, Armada is pretty wide open. You're not gonna win worlds with those lists, but you can certainly win a local store tournament (unless there's somebody really good in your area).

Most of the time you're going to want 4 or 5 ships, so ISD + 2 of something + either 1 or 2 flotillas, usually. ISD + 2 GSDs, 2 Arquittens, or 2 VSDs can all work. I haven't played against an ISD 2 Raider list, but I have heard of such a thing doing well.

Like I said, Aces will make or break you. If you're fine with taking one-off aces, then yeah, you'll do fine. The ISD, GSD, Raider, Arquittens, and VSDs are good ships that can work in most conceivable configurations.

>>53068709
Just do what I did for the Jedi in my party. After the GCW campaign they had a difference of opinion with Luke.

The Jedi had a vision of what was to happen to Ben and warned Luke. But Luke believed he could save him just like he could save his father and ignored the characters warning, which made the Character leave the order and take up a job from Leia to run New Alderaan. It opened a plot hook for the new PCs to have a mentor Character while still staying on the timeline proper.

It's pretty good. It's a cheap and fast small ship. It has black dice and weapons / ordnance / offensive upgrade slots, so it can be extremely lethal at close range.

Most often though, it's kitted out as a dedicated anti-squadron flack ship, which it excels at. It's got a very awkward movement chart too, so it's tricky to fly.

>>53068909

Could go the Kojima route. Maybe the PC, Kyle Katarn, and a small number of survivors manage to evacuate during the endgame, vow revenge, and set up a sequel hook for when they join/found an anti-FO militia. Alternately, the PC was away on a mission/vacation/combat jack while Kylo Ren did his thing.

Then you are already lost.

Even in Legends, there wasn't really a "light side." There was the Force, and there was the dark side.

That much hasn't changed. The only difference is that much of the "light" symbolism and "light" related powers are no longer canon.

It was always that the Force was a thing, and the dark side was a perversion of that thing.

I almost exclusively play rebels so I'm a bit biased, but the raider is a ship I'm really jealous of.

It's basically half an MC30 / GSD for half the cost. Except it can also instead run a silly / awesome anti-squadron build, for which both of its titles are excellent.

Hey guys, I am soon going to be playing as an old tactical droid that has delusions of trying to bring back the CIS. What I need is a war chant/song of some sorts that is related to droids or technology that I can play for my character, but I can't find anything so far. What do you guys think my old droid should be playing when he is making the Confederacy rise again?

>>53068912

Is it just normal FFG procedure not to leave arcs blank on a ship unless it's a real nogunz - because really the Raider has like dick-all to shoot behind it.

>>53068956
>>53068968
You guys are wrong. There is light and dark side in Disney canon. Whether there are light/dark side powers if up for debate.

>>53069127
Pic related, unless you consider this a nogunz, which is reasonable.

Mentally, I take it as "some of those side guns can kinda swivel, which is why it gets some but not all its side dice", but whatever. I care more about the game than about the fluff.

>>53069168

I'm pretty sure regular GRs are actually nogunz, in X-Wing for instance the GR-75 has no primary weapon value AND no hardpoints to mount secondary weapons. Closest you get is filling the cargo holds with slicer tools and cluster bombs.

>>53069127

That's a standard thing on a lot of ships. Rear arcs tend to be bare compared to others. It's not really a FFG thing so much as how ships tend to be designed. It's how Thrawn got Zaarin if I remember right. The tactical patch over it is to just direct a few fighters to that position or use a smaller ship.

No one has said there was no such thing as the dark side.

But it's not a "side". It's a corruption.

The idea that there isn't light/dark side specific abilities in canon is also not up for debate, considering we've seen things that are openly stated to be specific things that dark siders can't do (Force ghosts), that are specific rituals associated with the dark side (what Palpatine and Dooku were doing to Yoda in the last arc of TCW), and there are things that light siders won't do (lightning, ripping the Living Force out of people to power themselves or others up).

>>53069217
Yes, the cheaper GR-75 has no anti-ship dice whatsoever.

>>53069289
>light-siders won't do lightning
>laughingplosbros.jpg

>>53069220

I'm asking if FFG is being kind to the raider (or ships in general) by giving it rear arc dice, or if that's just normal for most ships in Armada. By their own admission in the RPG for instance it doesn't have any thing which can hit the rear arc, nor do it's firing arcs cover the rear in XWM.

This personally is why I think the Raider's a bit dodgy as an anti-fighter design (along with no ventral coverage), but that's just a personal taste. Probably.

>>53069289
>dark side is evil and corrupts

Here we go again.

>>53069334
>I'm asking if FFG is being kind to the raider (or ships in general) by giving it rear arc dice, or if that's just normal for most ships in Armada.

Every ship in Armada has dice in every arc except for the GR75.
>>53069168
>>53069296

>>53069318
I said in canon. Plo hasn't done any of that shit except in Legends.

>>53069349
Don't even fucking start. The dark side has always been depicted as evil, at the very least it is predatory and bestial. The two prime examples of those using it from the movies are a literal fallen paladin and an evil wizard who is all about turning people against each other, and corrupting what he can.

This is such a slow game so far... both players being super cautious.

I think Norm's overextended Yavaris, though. It's getting a bit aways from Gallant Haven and all the squadrons clinging to it.

>>53069334

Lack of ventral coverage is also a common design flaw in imperial ships. On carriers that's where a lot of their fighters come from. It's mostly Corellian designs that have top and bottom guns but that's basically it. FFG is probably being kinder though. The Lancer has good rear arc coverage but it's bigger and those guns are essentially never modeled on. The IPV-1 has dorsal and ventral guns, but they're more or less forward locked due to turret design seen on the model, regardless of what the system actually says.

In MY experience in non FFG settings you need to account for the fact that most ships are going to be rolling and maneuvering on their own. Then you acknowledge that multiple raiders can cover each other effectively and the problem largely goes away if you deploy them as a line instead of one lone one, which is how the empire actually deploys them.

I don't think anything smaller than a Vigil Corvette, who's design actually gives it guns that can rotate to hit the rear, is ever employed alone. Even then conceptually speaking outside of the edges of the outer rim Imperial II class frigates operating in pairs are USUALLY the preferred minimum, and you have six to twelve squadrons of fighters in those arrangements.

>>53069498
But Nathan is flying in a completely bizarre direction. I have no fucking clue what these two are doing.

Guess this is why I'm not at worlds.

>>53069512

Well, at least the imperial version of the Arquitens has dorsal and ventral quads, which appear to be turreted so they could possibly fire to the rear. That's actual Lucasfilm work, but still a step in the right direction. Of course the Arquitens is a Light Cruiser which can actually hold like a half-flight of docked fighters.

Rebels also shows an ISD's giant barbette turbolaser assemblies firing backward - though that also is dorsal only.

My complaint with the Raider is that FFG (especially early) marketed it as a sort of "long range fighter killer" doing missions with only a couple of rare hyperspace fighters with it. It really is not configured like a solo act, and maybe in the sense it could be a scary hyperspace ambusher but it just feels like a ship which is actually more grounded in normal corvette duties to like, patrol as part of a larger fleet or maybe a static location. Of course FFG originally wanted a Lancer but it was out of scale so maybe that colored their writing a little.

And also it means you can terrify players without telling them to just die by having a Lancer show up because all angle quad laser coverage is rough.

The only time we see them in canon thus far, and they have no EU appearances, is when an admiral has half a dozen of them backing a destroyer as escorts, and when they're basically used to ferry Special Forces back and forth. Which is, to be fair, equivalent to what Twilight Company usually has give or take a bit.

As a general adjustment to the order of battle, I'd say two raiders could equal an Arquitens in the same sense that two Strike Cruisers could equal a Victory Destroyer. A realistic deployment outside resource strapped outer rim postings is two or three of them backed by three assault carriers holding a squadron of TIE fighters. That's basically what you see on an equivalent deployment in rebels.

Just keep the assault carriers deployed behind the raider corvettes to cover the blind spots while TIE's maneuver. The Raiders could split up to flank on their own as well.

That's enough to fuck up any smaller rebel convoy, but also intercept a decent sized strike force.

The Bendu was Lucas' idea. As was Mortis.

Make of that what you will.

>>53071100
Idiots don't think that Lucas doesn't change his mind from time to time. He isn't Oda.

>>53071100
Fairly certain the Bendu was not actually George's idea (unless you can source something saying it was).

The Mortis arc's general ideas were his, but the whole point of that arc was that it was an allegory of I-VI, and the idea of balance wasn't that the two needed to be equal. In fact, when the Son got the same freedom as the Daughter, he immediately started wrecking everything.

Not to mention that the Mortis arc is literally a vision. They're no more real than the Darth Vader that Luke encounters in the cave under the tree on Dagobah in ESB is real. Luke had an experience there, but he didn't actually fight Vader there.

Likewise, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka had an experience at Mortis, but they didn't actually meet and fight godlike personifications of the Force there.

>>53071151
I was slightly wrong. He's directly inspired by George's idea, but wasn't directly created by George.

>DAVE: I had a lot of discussions with George about the Force and a lot of that stemmed out of our discussions for Mortis that a lot of it dealt with our discussions on the characters that were the kind of multi-personality being that Yoda finds, the Priestesses in the end of The Clone Wars. And so we were really getting into the nature of the Force as being the cosmic Force and the living Force and what that all means. And so Bendu for me is an extension of those conversations I had with George. And I’m trying to really get down in the story lore a lot of the things he and I talked about. So he wasn’t a character we talked about, but I knew there was opportunity for a character like that. Once you get beyond the concept of the Jedi and the Sith where kind of religion’s working using the Force, there is the Force itself which exists all around us. It’s just life itself. And the balance of the Force never speaks in terms of destroying one side or the other. That’s an attitude we put on it saying okay, the light must vanquish the dark and the dark wants to stop the light. Those are imbalances, which nature corrects all the time.

The Light and Dark are necessary and vital to each other. The Force is not an entity with morality or even true sentience. It's a mystical force (gettit) of nature that seeks to naturally balance itself out with no regard for who or what follows or taps into it.

Ok, this is going to get a little weird. Imagine if each instrument was a person talking.

The Star Wars main theme is a great example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D0ZQPqeJkkRight off the bat, the trumpets are doing most of the talking. There are drums - quite a lot of drums - but they are supporting and helping the main voice of the music, not speaking alongside.

But in >>53069911
The violins (syth-violins) and the drums are speaking at the same time. It's like the violins are saying something and every few words the drums are going "yeah!". The drums have a major part. That doesn't happen in Star Wars. The drums never get to take centre stage. Flute, oboe, violin, and trumpet get top billing.

Sorry I can't offer much more than that. It's a very tricky thing.

>>53072085
Depends on the weapon, and how much you put into upgrading it. Ryyk blades are fantastic, as you can relatively easily get them down to crit 1, and they come with Superior without any price increase. Vibroknuckles can work wonders with Martial Artist.

>>53072085
Depends. Melee/brawl weapons don't usually deal as much direct damage as a blaster but usually have some sort of bonus quality. They also can be taken places that blasters might be banned from, if your GM is that sort of guy.

Does humanity have a homeworld in the Star Wars universe? Every other species has one. Is it ever explained why humans are so numerous?

The unofficial consensus was Coruscant in Legends. Somewhere in the Core Worlds lends to it being a pre-city world Coruscant, that they beat the Taungs out of.

And I don't think it's explained why they're so numerous so YMMV on how it's a human's galaxy, and aliens just live in it.

Beginner question.

Ok so Demolisher Title plus Engine Techs.

Can you perform 2 attacks after moving twice? (One after each move)
Or is it just once after any move and once pre move?

>>53074996
A casual reading indicates that Demolisher only defers "1 of your attacks" per activation, so you can't carry both over.

R8 my newb TIE swarm for X-wing:
Jax: PtL, Stealth Device, Mk.II Engine
Howlrunner: Crack Shot, Stealth Device
Black Squadron x3, Crack Shot

>>53075243
Get Autothrusters on Jax you silly billy

>>53075257
I considered that and dropping Crack off one of the Black Squadron pilots to make up the points difference, is it worth the loss in firepower?

>>53075357
A Twin Laser Turret has good odds to delete Jax in two turns. Autothrusters are insurance against that 2 damage per round being a statistical guarantee.

>>53075400
Fair point. Would it be a better strategy to drop Crack Shot off of Howlrunner instead of a random TIE pilot since they potentially make better use of Crack Shot with the re-roll buff?

I know in legends there was a Sith virus/weapon that would kill the host before reanimating them as a zombie. Are there any rules for running the undead?

>>53071072
Well like I mentioned, you can almost always really benefit from 4 or 5 ships, so possibly a gozanti or two. With VSDs being so slow and expensive that's possibly even more important. Two Arquitens is probably? the most viable list of the lot, but I don't play Empire myself.

Aside from that, there's three squadron boxes: 1, 2, and the split-faction Rogues and Villains box. There's also additional aces in the Corellian Conflict box.

CC is $25, the other boxes are $20. Also, the core set includes six TIE Fighters. CC offers some really strong aces, R&V offers some iconic characters and abilities that enable bombing strats and such. Squadrons 1 gets you fighters, bombers, etc; Squadrons 2 gets you more experimental tech like Defenders and Phantoms. You'll want 2 sets of each to run everything, but the six Fighters from the core set is a solid start to a fighter screen so you can mix and match with whatever boxes you feel like buying.

The biggest problem you'll run into is a like of variety- an ISD is going to use up around a third of your points, and two VSDs will too, so you'll end up with a relatively small number of points that are actually interchangeable from game to game.

Raiders and Arquitens are cheap, on the other hand, so won't have that problem. They'll leave you with enough points to run upgrade heavy brawler lists or ISD carrier bomber lists or balanced lists using gozantis as carriers for a small fighter screen. I've seen ISD with 2x Gladiator before, although I've never played against it, but it seems workable enough in theory.

Ultimately you'll be missing out on a lot of fun lists, but they're you're spaceships, do what pleases you. If you want every list to have an ISD and two of everything else, knock yourself out. You won't be automatically consigning yourself to the loser's table, or anything.

>>53074996
>Can you perform 2 attacks after moving twice? (One after each move)
No.

>Or is it just once after any move and once pre move?
Yes.

The value of engine techs is moving at speed four, setting up double arcs, and double ramming.

What exactly are the limits of the benefits you can receive from advantage die?

Well in legends and probably canon as well humans were not only one of the oldest species there were also one of the first species to have ftl travel so they spread out and colonized the stars.

>>53074671
Humanity's homeworld is Earth.

In the not too distant future, a warp travel mishap will cause a human colony ship to be flung across time and space, landing on Coruscant far in the past. This will be addressed in the trilogy coming after Ep9, wherein the New Republic will face off against time traveling Earthlings from our galaxy.

Probably Aku.

>>53076639
In fluff that is no longer canon, humans were taken from their homeworld and spread throughout the galaxy as a slave race by one of the earliest empires, which then proceeded to collapse and leave humanity scattered all over; in effect giving humans countless homeworlds instead if just one.

Some of the WoW soundtracks work oddly enough. My group uses them for Force heavy games.

In Legends, do we ever get an idea of exactly how many Executor-class SSDs were actually built? Or how many survived till the end of the GCW?

>>53075643
Take of Howl's Stealth device, or Carnor's stealth device if you really love Howl.

>>53078296
>>53075643
And thinking aboaut it- yeah, Howl's crack is worth less.

Howl should be taking an Evade action each round unless she is at range 3, so crack shot matters even less.

So yeah, give Howl Adapt or Trick shot instead of crack, swap the mk2 to autos.

Also, potentially consider hull or even shield instead of stealth on carnor- he tends to fly pretty close to the sun, and shield in particular lets him avoid gunner more freely.

>>53078285
No. We know that there were at least 12 built, but nobody ever settled on exact figures of production or post-GCW survivors.

>>53078285
No canon numbers. My best estimate was ~20-25 built and 4-6 survived the GCW

What would've gone differently if Obi-Wan had defeated Anakin with something less permanently crippling, like a stab through the stomach, rather than Anakin being dismembered and catching fire?

>>53078285
>>53078597
Are you including the ICW as part of the GCW?

Because until they turned them against each other there were only 2 finished SSDs I can think of that died (The Executor and the one from XvT Balance of Power,) plus the cloaking one at Fondor.

>>53078891
>Are you including the ICW as part of the GCW
Yes, I'm counting everything up to 19ABY as GCW

>>53078749
>stabbed through the stomach
>less perminantly crippling

Only if you consider death to be no impediment.

>>53078749
Vader would have been immensely more powerful, since his near-complete bodily destruction still canonically stunted his Force potential.

The setting becomes a game of cat and mouse between Vader looking for a chance to murder Palpatine and Palpatine trying to figure out the Sith alchemy to steal his body.

No it fucking didn't. Vader was stronger in the suit than he was out of it. The pain heightens his focus and strengthens the darkside in him. Not to mention the suit inspires fear in his enemies fueling his power. Read Lords of the Sith and the Vader comic

THIS. R1 really doesn't work well without ANH as a foundation. Maybe the Han Solo movie will fix this somewhat but I don't count on it.

>>53079821
Anon, you misread him. He said it affected his potential - which has always been the case.

But potential is not actualized power. Vader went from having the potential of being twice as powerful as Palpatine to only having the potential to be about 80% of Palpatine.

Personally, I doubt he ever really reached that 80% (especially in Legends). What we've seen on him and what we've seen of Palpatine simply are too far apart.

>>53080247

How many times do we have to tell you people the Dark Side does NOT feed off the pain of others nor the fear of others? The Dark Side is NOT evil.

>>53081279
>citation needed

What did Palps need Anakin for anyways? He didn't really do anything that couldn't have been done by anyone else. Why take the risk of keeping someone dangerous around? Pre-NOOOOOOOOOoooooo Anakin was the biggest potential long term threat to his rule - and in the end, *was* the thing that brought him down.

>>53081297
Common sense?

>>53081299
I think the canon now is that he intended to steal his body eventually, but accepted the possibility that Vader might outwit him and triumph. Sith are social darwinists.

>>53081350
>Sith are social darwinists.
Yes, but that doesn't mean you keep the threats to you lying around so they can usurp you. You eliminate them in order to stay on top. The chosen one, with the known potential to surpass even your own immense power? That's the /first/ guy you kill.

>I think the canon now is that he intended to steal his body eventually, but accepted the possibility that Vader might outwit him and triumph.
But *that* makes sense. It becomes a risk versus reward, rather than just pure risk. Full-potential-Anakin's body (and youth) would be a big prize.

>>53081350
>>53081403
Wrong. In canon now Sheev believed in Sith teaching and ideals. He respected Vader and hoped that he could surpass him as he did his own master for that is the way of the sith.

>>53081279
>The Dark Side is NOT evil.
I don't know man it seems pretty fucking evil every time it shows up.

>>53074671
From what I've encountered it seems like humans were the only race to send out Sleeper colony ships before the development of Ftl, and star wars does not into relativity, so humans got a massive head start.

>>53081755
The Duros also did, which is why they're in fluff the second most common spacefaring species, even if they don't show up enough to seem that way

>>53081829
My headcanon is that the average Duros spends so much time in space that they're just rarely seen anywhere in particular, despite being so common.

>>53081279
>>53081297
>>53081676
He's right the darkside is misused and misunderstood kind of like firebending In atla. To use the dark side correctly you have to use positive emotions like love, joy, boundless courage and righteous fury etc.

He doesn't strike me as the type that would actually BE force-sensitive in the first place. More like a Mandalorian getting led around by a Sith if you go by the Show canon. (I've not read the books, but he's nicer there.

>>53081910
So who has actually used it for good?

>>53081910
Eh, debatable, it may just be best not to touch the force while feeling those things, or to not use them to bind the force.
