Still no Leia...?

By Narr666, in Imperial Assault Campaign

Really?

Now we´ve got 3 more Stormtroopers, 2 new wookies, 2 Rodians.

Where is Leia? Man, I love her and she is the third important character out there.

Please, please give us Leia. Palpatine, I can wait... but let´s finish the main cast already!

I doubt we've seen all of Wave 3. They'll probably reveal a big box expansion during Gencon or before the year 2015 is over. My guess is Leia will be in it. The marketing strategy seems to be to stretch out as many fan favorites as possible so people feel obligated to buy the expansions.

Twin Shadows = Boba Fett

Wave 3 expansion = Leia

Wave 4 expansion = Palpatine (?) or Lando (?)

Wave 5 expansion = RotJ Luke (?)

etc etc

Leia' s role in star wars changed a lot over the movies.

At the time frame the campaign is set in Leia was a diplomat who only saw fighting when she was captured.

She's a stay at home girl while the the boys are out fighting.

Hiding while her ship is attacked, watching the battles of yavin and hoth from the command bunker, being protected by lando on cloud city.

She's not a ally you would want to bring on a mission in imperial assault.

It's not until RotJ that she kicks ass, killing jabba and attacking endor.

Leia shouldn't join until IA has a campaign set when Leia has reached the RotJ stage.

First: I don´t think anyone would care, including Fantasy Flight.

Second Leia was pretty badass through the first seen-on-screen rebel commando mission ever, long before she wears beakini.

And last but not least in the gap between IV and V, she is a rebel commander in chief where one can imagine millions of possibe missions including Leia iwhich would be "logical".

I go with Patrick´s reasoning and guess he is right. Though I had hoped more for Leia than for Boba...

Blame R2 and 3PO. They took up the 1 or 2 hero slots.

Yeah, you´re right, although I´m looking forward for a R2D2 model...

My OP wasn´t thought as something rational, I wanted only to complain. It was obvious that Boba Fett get first dipps.

Likely, we'll see her when we see Bespin. Just guessing, mind you.
