FFG, please tell me Baron Valen Rudor is one of the pilots for the Inquisitor TIE.

So that way I can build a squad with both him and Soontir Fel and call them "The Bad News Barons".

And have them perform Baron Rolls.

It'll probably be the Inquisitor from Rebels season 1, plus the 2 new inquisitors we see in Season 2's trailers. Plus a generic. Come to think of it - we never actually got a name for the first Inquisitor. Did we?

Lucius Malfoy, Captain Steele, Admiral Zhao... Whatever tickles your fancy.

How Rudor of you. It's too Soontir begin awful puns.

It's fairly likely that it goes PS6 Inquistor PS8 Valen. (The PS2 and PS4 being generics).

Ah ****... Guess I Fel off the wagon a bit too soon.

What would Rudor have, negative 5 PS?

Nothing to be ashamed of. We're both being unbaronable. Shall we call it a TIE?

Not a chance, you win automatically with that one. Well played sir.

I disagree. They're already in the developmental stages here, and Season 2 hasn't even started (not counting the nice little short movie we got this summer!). We don't even know the names of the new Inquisitors or their potential abilities/skills as a fighter pilot. FFG tends to put pilots in ships they actually piloted or, in the case of Horn and Stele, throw an ace who could fly multiple ships into whichever one they had a gap.

In Rebels...

The TIE Advanced v1 is flown by The Inquisitor... and is supposed to be flown by Valen Rudor, who has his get blown apart by the Rebels on the ground. All of this leads me to believe the odds are we'll see Rudor and the Inquisitor as the two named pilots with a pair of generics.

The question becomes, which is which? The Inquisitor is the Force-wielding, mustache-twirling big bad of the first season of Rebels and the more marketable name, and the TIE is named by FFG after him. Valen Rudor is a secondary character, but the reason he's getting to fly the TIE Advanced v1 is because he's considered one of the Empire's top aces.

Probably have the Inquisitor as the 8 and Valen Rudor as the 6, which I can live with (though Rudor should at least be a 7!). However, I'll cry foul if Rudor doesn't get an EPT. Given his apparent reputation in the Empire, he deserves it.

And there he is: Valen Rudor is the PS6 pilot!

Yup, pretty obviously...

Looks like Imperial Barons must have regularly gotten special treatment - seems the PS4 generic is also 'Baron...' something. Baron Group? Baron Squadron? Something.

PS2 generic is obviously 'Sienar...' something. Sienar Test Systems?

The XX-23 tracers backing up a swarm is going to be amazing, annnnnnnd my 5 TIE's gain a target lock...

Sienar Test Pilot.

I don't know about Rudor being PS6. We've seen him a total of 4 times on screen....

1: Gets blown out of the sky by the Ghost then gets shocked into unconsciousness by Ezra's slingshot.

2: Gets beaten up by Zeb, twice, and has his fighter stolen.

3: His TIE Advanced Prototype gets blown up on Empire Day.

What can you say except the guy is bad luck personified.

We didn't get to see much of Mauler, Stabber, or even Howlrunner on screen. Stil, they are pretty good.

Well, at the moment he's got 6... and despite what we've seen on screen, he seems to have a strong reputation for his skill in the Empire. There's a reason he's the guy chosen to give the v1 Advanced a whirl.

Still, look like he's the biggest WIP for Wave 8: appears he doesn't even have a pilot ability yet, the space appears blank in the previews. C'mon EPT!

He survived all encounters with the heroes so far. Something you can't say about Mauler Mithel, Backstabber, or Dark Curse...

Right? And to be fair, he was totally going one on one with the freakin' Ghost... in it's rear, Phantom-boosted arc! A worse pilot would've died, and quickly.

In the case of Stabber and Mauler, they better be damned good, being the wingmen of Vader. As for Howlrunner...has she even been on screen at all?

Aye, her and Night Beast are the TIEs active around the Cloud City in Empire.

PS2 generic is obviously 'Sienar...' something. Sienar Test Systems?

Sienar Test Pilot, perhaps.

It's the Tier 2 generics I'm interested in.

As they can help fill out the Bad News Barons.

I'm so pumped I almost feel the need to restart the puns... Almost...
