Which preview will be out today?

By Mu0n729, in X-Wing

Here's a dumb question, can a SKU hold 2 ships from different factions? I imagine it will be the Scum epic but could it be Tie Striker/U wing packs?

Only if it's a third core set, which could be the case, since it seems like FFG is working hard with each movie to keep pushing this exciting game on new players. New players will want to explore the game with the ships they just watched on the big screen. Very possibly a third core set.

Seems a tiny bit too close to the FA release, but I suppose it's possible!

I post something like this about once a month, and I'm always wrong, but right about now feels like the right time...

We are going to get a HotR preview within the next 2 hours... I can feel it...

9 minutes left in the work day. Surely they'll post a fourth article for today!

Big money. No whammies.

One data point is hardly a pattern...

This article is tagged X-Wing.

But it is not an X-Wing preview.

<_<

Ugh.... That's one of those "this is X-wing, but not really X-wing" articles that drowns my hopes for a real preview today. :(

I'm facing the bleak reality that we'll only get an article on Force day whatevermagajig at the end of September.

I always wondered why he didn't then try and stab the emperor right then.

"You promised she'd live, and then she didn't but I'm still going to be evil anyways."

Bad writing is why.

Oh yes.

I've just given birth to 2 wonderful twins which need me.

I do not want to live anymore -argl *dies*

Really splendid storytelling.

The thought occurs that they'll want to replace a new x-wing with this.

But they're already in three packs, start set and standalone included.

Perhaps a most wanted suite?

I may be alone on this, but the game is called X-wing. If any ships should be in multiple expansions, it should be the X-wing and Tie Fighter. Tie Fighter has received a good amount of love as well, so I think it's fitting the X-wing, which is also falling short competitively, just sees a full revisit.

Biggs and Wes are top-notch dudes when it comes to Uboat meta.

both have the Core, an expansion and a transport with extra pilots.

The same bad writing also killed Padme with...a broken heart.

.. I honestly can't remember ANY of that happening in the THREE starwars-movies that exist ..

*eyes twitching*

The worst part is, all they had to do was make Vader actually kill her to have that not be terrible. Force throw->internal bleeding->save the children->dies due to injuries.

But even that flies in the face of Leia telling Luke while on Endor that she remembers her mother being very sad. I'm pretty sure she's not talking about her adoptive mother (though I haven't watched that in a while), so it could have been a very powerful situation where Padme watches Anakin fall to the dark side and she couldn't do anything about it because she had to try raising the kids alone as he was off fighting wars and turning evil. Every time he came home after a while he'd be more angry and aggressive, being especially triggered when the babies would wake up crying at night. Could have even had some amusing skits with 3PO and R2 trying to change the kids' diapers.

I think the biggest problem is that they tried to cram 4 movies' worth of story into 3, or didn't split the story in the right places between the movies.

No, this is just a symptom of terrible writing.

It falls under the same vein as:

Obi-Wan not remembering owning a droid/remembering R2-freaking-D2.

Yoda supposedly being Obi-Wan's master (don't give me the gibberish that Yoda taught everyone, that's not how Old Ben described it)

Confusing alterations in Force Ghosts (why isn't Obi-Wan/Yoda their youthful selves, now that Anakin is??)

... There are more, but the blind rage is creeping on me again, so I'll have to leave it there for now.

I had always assumed, since darkside users can't do the ghost thing or Palp wouldn't have cared so much about dying, that in returning at the last second he took the form of his last light side self.

It was silly to be sure and in the original cut it was an older man as anakins ghost, Lucas butchered that scene with many others in his revamp. Lucas is both the best and worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars.

I'm sure all these things make complete sense...

...from a certain point of view.
