Next Wave prediction

By VirMortalis, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

I am personally hoping to see a Dew back rider for the Imperial Side and a Taun Taun Rider for the rebels.

They might try and do a tie in with Star wars Rogue One which is coming out end of this year.

I suspect they will announce the next small expansion though before announcing the next wave.

Personally I would love to see a Bespin small box.

Lobot or Lando, would be awesome with Ugnaughts. Maybe inlcude Degobaugh with Yoda as a none combat supoort role such as C3PO

The skirmish wave could have Zuckuss or 4-Lom (we already have transdosions).

ROTJ Large box

Forrest Moon and Jaba tiles. (Death star ones use Im int. )

Include a Rancor, the rest of the bounty hunters and a ROTJ Luke (focus on all jedi skills), and Leia as the bounty hunter, the emperor. Ewoks, Speeder Bikes, could be cool but not very practical given that nature of this game.

Other Characters I'ld love to have:

Madine

Achbar

Mon Matha

Zombie troopers

Dr. Affra (Vader's companion in the comics right now)

Death Star Gunners

Obi-Wan's sprit (support ally)

General Veers

Just my thoughts.

I think it'd be cool to see Leia/Boush figure and it had two different cards - a Leia card for rebels and a Boushh card for scum :)

Bespin makes the most sense to me...maybe not chronologically fitting with the Hoth expansion...but it gives FFG a chance to sell us different versions of the main heroes (Jedi-in-training Luke, Commander Solo) as well as introduce Lando and Lobot, Bespin guards, and perhaps Ugnaughts. E-3P0 as an imperial protocol droid villain pack maybe?

We have yet to see Bossk, 4-LOM, or Zuckuss the Gand Findsman.

I think it could be interesting if they did something on Onderon, something like what they did for the Age of Rebellion RPG beginner box..."Takeover at Whisper Base" (but only if they don't do an Endor box).

A few things that could make this work,

- Onderon is a Jungle planet, and the adventure centers around an Imperial outpost, so re-using the Core box tiles works perfectly here.

- They can introduce Imperial Navy/Army troopers as the main minions.

- The base hangar/garage features AT-STs and speeder bikes, as well as Imperial Scout Troopers...

Possible races for future heroes,

- Sullustan (Spec Ops?)

- Togruta (male?)

- Zabrak (male Jedi?)

I defo want to see a RotJ Hutt Palace themed box though. We need Gamorreans and I'd love to see some Weequay, Nikto, and/or Klatooinians. The Rancor would be the big scary monster to this set.

Probable/possible ally/villain packs...

Bib Fortuna

EV-9D9

Jedi Luke

Bounty hunter Leia (Boushh armor)

Palace Guard Lando

I'm thinking it will be a Bespin expansion next. It seems to follow suite. They can add Bespin Guards as the new mooks. A Lando Ally Pack, and maybe a couple of Bounty Hunters like Bossk, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM. I'm hoping for Zuckuss myself.
