We know that FFG likes to re-use the artworks for x-wing ... and what do we have here?

Dash and his ship, the Outrider. Zuckuss as the next bounty hunter for the Empire ...

Outrider: would love it!

Star Destroyer: my head says "wishful thinking" but my heart says "I hope so"

Dash: don't know much EU so he's "meh" right now.

Zuckuss: can't read that name with a straight face. First Captain Harsol now Suckass. What next, Jedi Master Bates?

Dash Rendar was the pilot of the Outrider.

Zuckuss was one of the bounty hunters hired in ESB

What next, Jedi Master Bates?

Nah, he's Clone Wars Era.

Compare the image in "Against All Odds" to the art from Wave 4's "Outmaneuver":





I don't think we'll see that particular piece again (we already have it in X-wing, mirrored horizontally rotated 90 degrees and cropped differently), and that image of Dash won't work in our game (don't all the pilot cards, except the promos, have images of the ship rather than the person?)

…but I do keep looking at the LCG cards and thinking "that looks like a really interesting game".

(referring to Italics) Alternative Art Promo?

.... Dash: don't know much EU so he's "meh" right now.

Dash Rendar was the pilot of the Outrider.

In that case, bring on Dash too. Every new ship needs at least one character pilot card

Well, thus far, we have alternate art for the following:

Black Pilot Squadron

Wedge Antilles

Gold Pilot Squadron

Mauler Mithel

Dagger Pilot Squadron

Colonel Jendon

Ten Numb

Lando Calrissian

Boba Fett

Luke Skywalker

Academy Pilot

Biggs Darklighter

Of which, all of the named pilots show faces... And yet (with the possible exception of Luke) none of them share art with the LCG. Actually, none of these in general share art with the LCG.

(Note: Luke's alt art looks VERY similar to the rookie pilot LCG card... it could be a "reuse")

The engine block on that card is really wide for the Outrider...

The Outrider has been popping up a LOT in LCG art though. There is plenty more images for them to use.

Don't think we will ever see a Star Destroyer simply because of the size, just not practical, making it smaller and out of scale would be very very bad.

What next, Jedi Master Bates?

Nah, he's Clone Wars Era.

SERIOUSLY!?

I was in fact making a joke with that "What next...." comment. Now I've seen it all.

EDIT: I also thought that Dagonet was being cheeky.

It would work for a crew version of him.

I also thought 'crew' when I saw that picture.

I do think there are good odds we will eventually see the Outrider. Curious what niche it will fill though. If I were FFG, I'd probably be stalling that one because I wouldn't be sure how to differentiate it enough from the Falcon.

(Don't know a lot about the Outrider, though I gather it's not far off a snazzy version of a YT-1300, just like the Otana/YT-2000 is)

The Zuckus art is from the edge of the empire rulebook. So far, I've only spotted the recon specialist as art that's made it into both games.

TIE Advanced Card is the same or very similar. The Tempest Squadron Pilot I believe.

We haven't seen the kihraxz fighter either, so I'm not sure we can connect to ffg art。 they have a big stockpile to draw from it would seem. ( as I collect the lcg and play edge if the empire too.)

Charles Dickens used it first in Oliver Twist. 'Charlie Bates', the Dodger's partner in crime was referred to as Master (like mister) Bates all throughout the book. Way to rip off Dead White Authors SW EU Canon... Not to be that nerd that 'WellActually's things, but let's face it, this whole forum is full of us.

In the words of the creator:

http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2008/10/02/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-175/

I certainly did it on purpose, but I only (and always) had characters in “Acts of War” refer to him as “Soon Baytes.” See, the thing was, Sue Rostoni would go through my scripts and if, for instance, I had a character refer to Yoda as just plain “Yoda,” she would change it to “Master Yoda.” So, I introduced a completely unimportant tertiary Jedi character named Soon Baytes, hoping that she would be going through the script, come across the character, and change him to “Master Baytes,” and I could say “gotcha!” and then change the character’s name to something more suitable.

Unfortunately, she never requested the change, and the character went into canon, a not-so-witty time bomb waiting to be triggered.

Yet another example of why I love Star Wars so much.

This is one example, E.T. being a jedi is another.

Han shooting first is another.

But then again, Star Wars had me at hello. The blockade runner shooting past followed by a Star Destroyer. Done deal. Sold. No regrets.

It's odd that they've used an image featuring a ship with a 360 firing arc (presumably) to illustrate 'outmanoeuver'.

Young boy sitting by the TV as his dad put a video into the player. Nearly jumps out of his skin as the music hits him with the STAR WARS logo and the exciting music plays. As the music comes to an end, two space ships shoot at each other as they roar across the screen. Best introduction ever to any sci-fi I have ever seen.

Han shooting first was topped for me by Han calmly getting up, flicking a coin to the barman and saying "sorry about the mess". You just don't get that kind of cool in movies now.

That was a defining moment for Han, it also showed that Lucas had no idea what he was doing when he changed it to Greedo shooting first and missing.

The whole 'I don't have time for this' attitude described Han to a T.
