When you would be killed by an attack you may make vague threats and remove the ship entirely.
Ooh a serious version of that:
After this ship is destroyed all friendly ships may receive 1 focus token at the start of each combat round.
Sure people wouldn't kill his ship... But that's the point!
Edited by TasteTheRainbowSure, Obi-Wan needs to be here somewhere, just probably not as a pilot. The game is set around the Galactic Civil War, so a young Obi-Wan in a starfighter wouldn't seem quite right. If they were going to do that, then we'd be getting more ships from Ep1-3. Which isn't to say that might not happen. FFG must be running short on ships to include in the game by now.
The other thing that has always bugged me is the crew cards that say to discard the card after using it. Isn't that like telling Chewie to go and fix that damage and boost the shields, and then punting him out the airlock when he's done? I know they're supposed to be a one-use card, but that's just the way I see it.
Anyway... in memory of the Jedi Master

It doesn't really include him as such, but it does include his influence. And it's unique.

When defending you may reroll 1 blank result.

At the start of the combat phase assign 1 evade token to all friendly ships at Range 1-3.

Sure right after admiral ackbar card. Set to come with General dodonna and madine, in the Frigate expansion. Oh how I wish... Then Imperials could have the Victory class star destroyer as well, with the left over admirals.
Hopefully the Rebels TV show will give us a meaningful ship other than the blockade runner that also can be added as an alternative to the Gozanti carrier. One can wish...
This thread is the greatest.
On topic now, yeah I think they'll make one. Even if it is somewhat thematic to leave him out because he hates flying, which would be a pretty funny running gag.
I've seen a lot of good ideas in this thread for him too. But honestly until Disney makes a stand alone film for him where he gets to better define his ability as a spacer potentially, I'd be fine with them leaving him out for the moment, even if he is my favorite Star Wars hero of all time. Found this awhile ago, fake but intriguingly awesome:
Edited by ForceSensitiveI'd prefer his ability not be defensive oriented, otherwise it might be another way in a long list of ways for fat falcons to keep getting fatter.
After using a focus, you gain a focus and an evade but are limited to one of each (no stack)? 4-5 points?
I think he'll be a 2 crew slot card whatever his power is.
I do like the idea that he'll be discarded to prevent an attack on a ship. I thought that too as soon as I started reading this thread.
So we can only take him on a YT-1300? No thanks. If he were though, he'd have to be good enough to beat out 3p0 and gunner
True. I was thinking there was more than 1 ship with 2 crew slots.
There is also the Tantive IV and the GR-75 and soon the VCX-100.
No there isn't

I'm sure they can just glue a couple more TIE Bombers together...

Only if can be used in conjuction with the others. That would be pretty tricky wouldn't it - it would have to be a crew member than buffs ships other than the one it's on (otherwise it's just replacing, not augmenting, some other component of fatness), and you'd have to put in in a B-Wing or HWK.
Whatever you people make his ability please make him take only 1 crew slot. It is not fluffy for him to take 2 slots and he could only ride in a falcon.
FINE! I'll play...

When the ship Obi-wan Kenobi is equipped on is within Range 1-2 of a TIE Fighter, say out loud "No, it's a short range fighter."
and
When the ship Obi-wan Kenobi is equipped on is within Range 1-5 of a Death Star, say out loud "That's no moon."
@richard_thomas_ and I were just discussing this. How about an opposite of Vader: you can take a damage to allow one a friendly ships to recover some damage/shields/whatever.
By the way, I haven't read all of the thread, so if anybody's already posted this idea, I thought of it first!
Edited by mazz0No you didn't.
He wasn't an actual crew member. Others like Chewie, Lando, Nien Numb, and even the droids are actually skilled in operating, commanding, or repairing ships. He was only ever a passenger, realistically.
He also hates flying.
I must have missed the part where Palpatine was a hard working crew member on any ship in any movie. Can you please direct me to that scene?

I am of the school that believes C-3PO's influence was negligible, or certainly not as big as it can be in the game.
Taking Obi-Wan as crew should certainly count for something.

I'm not taking a side in your argument, I just like that because when I read it I hear the Emporer's voice saying it, and he sounds so cool.
OK, now I'm taking a side - Palpatine doesn't really do anything directly in the films, short of torturing Luke, and of course organising everything (which would mean he has as much of a role as a crew member as Mon Mothma, Ackbar, Tarkin, etc) - the Battle Meditation is an EU invention isn't it?
Obi Wan- Crew. After executing a white maneuver, you may assign one friendly ship within range 1-2 with a focus token. Cost 4 points...
Crew
At the beginning of the Activation or Combat phases you may discard this card.
If you do so, you may discard 1 or more tokens assigned to your ship.
For each token discarded in this way, assign a focus token to your ship.
Why it is thematic:
- When an enemy has a target lock on you, Old Ben can say 'This is not the ship you are looking for' and discard the target lock. Or releases the spare parts as countermeasures and hide behind an asteroid.
- When you have stress because of the dogfighting, Old Ben will say 'There are alternatives to fighting', and discard the stress.
- When your ship is caught by a tractor beam, Old Ben will go and release you.
- And if your ship is ioned... Well, I bet Old Ben would think on something. 
After all he managed to fix the energy source of a submarine in the middle of a chase with monsters.
Obi-Wan would work best with a very thematic ability, in the same way Vader hurts his subordinates to increase the efficiency of the group and Palpatine uses Battle Meditation to tip the scales.
The first way I'd suggest using Kenobi is as a Crew card that attaches a buff to another ship after the ship he's on dies. While very thematic, the problem here though is that he wouldn't be put on thematic ships: he'd be crammed into suicide HWKs, B-wings or K-wings.
The other one I'd suggest would be "There are alternatives to fighting". The ship Kenobi is on can designate another ship at the start of the Planning, Activation or Combat phases (which one depends on how powerful you want the card to be: the earlier the weaker. I'd personally go for Planning.) Select a target friendly ship and a target enemy ship, and those two ships cannot target each other this round.
Pure, delicious 2-ship build hate.
What I'm not right sold on is the idea of a card that's discarded to gain the benefit. I think that's too literall an interpretation of his sacrifice. Something that involves taking damage would be better.
Since a lot of what he did in the movies was influence, how about the ability to change a ships dial with a pilot skill 2 or less? Or be able to choose the action they take?
Edited by MoneyinvolvedHad some ideas.
Since he was the old wise man for a while 1pt crew that raises pilot skill by 1 or more.
Since he had that healing Force power down pat, once per turn discard a critical pilot card from a ship in your Squadron.
