FFG, put this Rebel character into the game

By KnightShift, in X-Wing

He could be a crewmember on a future Rebel epic ship or something...

And here's the Wookieepedia entry for the real-life Shawn Valdez...

What sayeth everyone? :)

I remember when that story originally hit the news, I was playing the Decipher CCG at the time. I'd love it if he were added to the game, but it's not really necessary.

I think typically, when something tragic happens, like a child dies... it is an extremely nice gesture and it warms people's hearts and helps the family to recover. In this case, it's been a very long time and I'm sure the family has healed and accepted the loss. I doubt this would be necessary in their eyes at THIS point in time.

Well, now I'm bored and the concept of a charity expansion has tickled me. :P.

Shawn Valdez (crew)

Rebel only. Huge ship only.

Your upgrade bar gains one additional [crew], [team], [cargo] icon each.

R5-M2 (crew)

Rebel only, huge ship only

At the beginning of the activation phase you may change the dial of your ship.

(useless without an IA, but very valuable in conjunction with it, fluff wise he was a very fast calculator of routes apparently)

R2-KT (crew)

Imperial only

A copy of either R2-D6 or R2-F2.

I don't see the addition as pilots working in X-wing. I do believe this request would work much better in Imperial Assault. I do think that this would be a worthwhile pursuit.

Obv he will be piloting the snowspeeder in Wave 7.

I actually played the old star wars ccg for many, many, many years. And the first place we used to play here was the store where he played. We even had a day after the card was released where his family came in to talk to everyone and his mom signed some of the cards. Still have one.

The quote on the wikipedia page is from our old TO for those tournaments in those days.
