NEW HEROES +Yoda and Obi-Wan

By David Spangler, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

This game is way too much fun. I admit to having doubts about it, especially about replayability for the Campaign game, but we spent an entire day yesterday playing five missions, and I don't remember having such a good time. The nice thing is that the design ensures that you never will play all the possible missions first time through, nor are you using all the heroes, so there's always something new. Add in the new missions and skirmish maps that go with the upcoming Character packs, and I can see this game going on forever, especially if FFG publishes new Campaign arcs and associated missions. Hello, FFG cash cow!

This being said, I would like to encourage creating new Heroes. The six that came with the game are wonderful and cover all the archetypes, Still, I'd love to see possibly some alien heroes, another Force User/Jedi, more female heroes, etc.

And of course, I hope in time we see Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Jedi Luke. I realize in the time frame of the current Campaign, both Yoda and Obi-Wan have "joined the Force" but they could take part in Skirmish games...and a campaign taking place earlier would allow these iconic figures to appear. After all, what is Star Trek without Obi-Wan and especially Yoda?

Pretending I did not read that.

Yikes! My Bad! Obviously I meant to say, "What is Firefly without Obi-Wan and Yoda?"

:wacko: :D

Getting warmer.

It was going all too well then that line :angry:

OK. Obviously being of weak mind, I can't resist the power of the Force.

What is STAR WARS without Yoda and Obi-Wan?

Everybody's harping on the Star Trek thing, but missed this? :P The campaign takes place right after the destruction of the first Death Star; Yoda's still very much alive!

Ah, of course. Wow! I AM of weak mind! For some reason, I've been picturing the destruction of the Death Star at the end of Chapter 6, but of course, the game is at the end of Chapter 4.

Thanks everyone for catching my errors (I wrote late at night, but still, no excuse!) But my comments still stand. I love the game and hope for more heroes and for Yoda, Jedi Luke, and even eventually Obi-Wan.

No. No. No. No to Obi-Wan and Yoda. They don't fit the feel of the game, in my opinion anyway. They are mentor roles to Luke.

I would love to see more female heroes.

Though for the wotc rpg, I really like the art for this character:

Though her backstory is similar to Fenn's I believe.

I would also like to see a character that comes with droid allies, or who IS a droid. An astromech could work.

I agree, more female heroes and a droid hero or hero with droid. yes.
