Why is Obi-Wan Kenobi not in the game?

By Clayjar, in X-Wing

No crew card for Obi-Wan Kenobi? They introduced a new faction and been giving us crew cards from characters from the Expanded Universe, but no card for the mentor for both Luke Skywalker and Darth Vadar?

That's just weird. He can have an almost opposite power of Darth like after receiving damage from an attack, a friendly ship at range 1 can gain back 1 hull once per round.

dude, obi-wan kenobi is no longer among the living mortals

not cool!

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Crew. Cost: -100,000 credits.

When you get tractor beamed, you get tractor beamed.

His only participation as a crew member was giving this advice:

"You can't win, but there are alternatives to fighting."

Flip this crew member face down to hide under the table for the remainder of the round.

I suppose it is a *bit* unusual to have him missing - there are exactly *four* characters that were in all six Star Wars movies, and we have upgrade (and pilot - in one case) cards for 3 of the 4. Half of those since the game LAUNCHED...although, to be fair, 3P0 was a pretty late arrival, so...

Still plenty of time!

Force users - spend force token to place asteriod on top of any enemy ship on the board.....

..... nah....

He will appear when the Imperial Huge ship is released....

"Deactivate one sensor upgrade on an Imperial Huge Ship. Then discard this card".

As crew card it could read "after you perform an attack and it dose not hit it still hits from a certain point of view"

Obviously they are saving him for the deathstar expansion.

He should be a crew card that doesn't take up a slot.

He's dead Jim.

He was like, the first to die.

He played little to no part in the space combat of 4-6, and even in 1-3 he states several times that he hates flying. Even as an iconic person in the universe and main story, that doesn't make him integral to this game.

How about an Owen and Beru Lars card...

You can use it for Imperials to cancel out Luke's action.

'no you cant focus luke i need you to check on the condenseors... maybe you can focus with your friends next season/turn'

How about:

Discard when used, turns all results to focus for any 1 ally ships roll.

Obligatory - "Use the force Luke" quote inserted here.

(Technically it should be discarded a few turns before use, but hey - let's make him playable)

Use the force: attacker may not use target lock or focus, May change one hit into a crit when using torpedoes.

Because he's going to be a republic pilot when they announce the prequel factions.

:-D

I'd like to see his ghost as a Luke only modification. "When attacking with a secondary weapon, you may discard this card instead of discarding a target lock."

Could work.

How about as a crew member "For this combat phase, all friendly ships at range 1-3 recieve Deadeye. Then discard this card."?

He only really talked to luke i dont think he should be an AoE effect.

But it would be very situational and a one shot.

How about "Whenever you toss an Ewok, It deals double the damage rolled."?

Cause his pilot ability would be:

When attacked, you may not defend, immediately die and become a blue ghost and voice in someone's head.

Bens not in the game cause he's a dirty hipster that should have been killed by Darth maul to start with.

Obi-Wan pilot card. Level 6, by his own admission he is not a great pilot. Skills: Jedi skill when attacking his target receives 1 stress, and he may he may change 1 hit to a critical that ignores shields. On defense the ship firing at him receives 1 stress and if his pilot skill is less than Obi-Wan he must select a different target. Would only be available for X-Wing and Z95 did not fly any others.

Crew card: Immediately after movement dials are set he assigns 1 stress to any enemy ship at range 1-3, and can adjust that ships movement dial to any movement of the same speed.

The idea is that he is a master of the force. this might open up a new type of modification to pilots that were know to be Jedi knights or Sith Lords.
