The Force Awakens

By Imperial Advisor Arem Heshvaun, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

After seeing the movie four times now it would seem the most miniatures that actually come from the film will be destined for Imperial Assault.

There were very limited miniatures that come directly for the movie for X Wing (possibly four ships two of which are already availabe) and Armada (The Finalizer, Leia's command transport, squadrons of X Wings and TIEs).

There are several minis for all the factions in Imperial Assault though, The First Order alone gets at least four types of Stormtroopers, not to mention new officers and vehicles. There were many vehicles seen in the background of several scenes.

Of all three factions the Mercenary faction in this game would have the biggest influx of possible units to come from the movie, there are a lot of great possible minis from the bar scene alone.

1) that's almost six hours of your life you're never getting back.

2) the movie exists to sell toys. That's its only purpose. Of course they are gonna have lots of crap they can turn into toys.

I hope we don't see any Episode 7 stuff in IA. We still have so much OT/EU stuff to use.

Also this is IMPERIAL assault... not First Order assault.

At this point, I really don't care what it is...I just want to get hyped over Wave 6....I don't know why but I feel like being hyped about something is more exciting than actually playing the actual content sometimes.

Worth it for sure. I won't miss any of those extra hours on my deathbed.

I have seen it 4 times, and will likely see it 6 more before it leaves theaters. And don't get me started on DVD/BluRay...

Only problem is that there are still a TON or OT stuff we need to have.

We still need Lando, The Emperor, Jabba, a Rancor, Zuckuss, 4-Lom, and Gammorrean Guards, Ewoks, and Jedi Luke.

(Ok Ewoks are a maybe- and Jedi Luke, like other revamped versions of existing miniatures, can be one-shots here and there).

Maybe 1 good solid ROTJ based wave first, THEN a TFA wave.

I can see them wanting to hit the new hotness now while it is still hot.

Nobody ever gets any hours back.

That's not how time works.

I'm happy for any new content, TFA, TCW, EU or rebels as long as they continue to produce OT expansions as well.

One thing at a time, I say. Let's get Lando and then we can talk.

Yeah, you'd think they made a Star Wars movie or something. Talk about a franchise blatantly designed to sell toys to kids.
