T-70 PS 7 pilot (TFA Spoilers)

By Sithborg, in X-Wing

Looks like we have 2 new potential characters for the PS 7 pilot, though only one of them has a name.

Nien Numb, T-70 pilot has to happen. If not now, but sometime in the future. I demand it.

Also, turns out using Red and Blue squadrons for the generics is fitting and not just trying to be general.

There's also Ello Asty, the new alien pilot.

Lots of potential for future pilots.

His name? Eleven Numb.

I think it most likely it is Asty.

Yeah, I couldn't remember the name. But, like I said, more potential options.

If it's Nub, he better assign himself focus after a green

Then, targeting better be a free target lock after a green

Then, give him expert handling

Fun times

Wow, you all are so speciesist! All Sullustans look the same, so it must be Nien Nunb. I thought the New Republic taught you better!

:P

What kind of weapon is that stormtrooper using to fight Finn and his lightsaber?

It has a lot of similarities to a police stick. It's just a bit larger, like a staff. With anti-saber shielding, of course.

Clearly, the First Order has trained their troopers to fight Jedi, as Finn is clearly not totally useless with a saber.

Reminds me of the staffs of Grievous' droids.

Yeah, the electrical effects are clearly from there. But it isn't a full staff, which is interesting.

Looks a lot like a flanged mace

Nien Nunb actually has been confirmed for Episode VII. So it probably is him.

Precisely. However, it matches this.

Same technology, different method. It's long been known that other energy sources can repel lightsabers. This is why blaster bolts are reflected by typical lightsabers, and in KOTOR, Energy Shields were used to greatly mitigate Lightsaber Damage.
