While waiting for the manual to arrive, can I ask a summary of the rule for vehicle weapons vs large creatures?

Even large creatures are personal scale, so vehicle weapons destroy them utterly.

Some of them *might* be large enough to absorb a hit from a lighter vehicle weapon, but turbo lasers are pretty much death.

We had debated back and forth between personal and vehicle scale, after play testing it landed on the personal side.

I think having creatures that are ridden as mounts work at vehicle scale would introduce too much "fiddliness" to the system, particularly in cases where the rider gets knocked off. And then you'd have cases where a creature's damage (now at vehicle scale) would simply wreck a non-vehicle target while still not being able to really put an appreciable dent in any vehicle that's got some armor on it.

While in general they're fairly squishy against vehicle weapons, I think that's in keeping with the films as we really don't see a lot of creatures be able to shrug off heavy weapons fire like the sort you'd find on most vehicles.

If mounts scale up to vehicle stats when mounted, you have a disconnect where animals are significantly tougher when they have a rider. Then you end up with weird scenarios where the rider dismounts and you have to decide if and when they still use Armor and Hull Damage Threshold or go back to Soak and Wound Threshold.

I just seems jarring when a speeder bike can survive damage better than a famba.

OTOH, a speeder bike is metal and electronics, and doesn’t feel pain.

I don’t know what the heck a “famba” is, but I’m assuming it’s organic.

It's a giant beast that Gungans use to carry shield projectors.

Its a woodwind instrument like a saxophone, but made from chicken bones.

Sorry, that should be "fambaa" with the added "a".
