Leia's Y-Wing!

By Darkcloak, in X-Wing

Okay so it's obvious this game needs Princess Leia in it. Everyone else has crew and pilot cards so why not her?

Let's put her in a Y-Wing! Just because!

So how do we make her different and cool but not OP?

I dunno I'll try it out...

So first off, let's give her a ship. Y-Wing. Done. But what makes it different? How about a title?

BTL S3, Y-Wing only.

Add one crew slot to your upgrade bar. You must equip an Ion Cannon Turret paying points as normal.

Cool. That gives her a nice thematic ship with the chance for some cool synergy.

Now how about an ability?

Let's see? Leia doesn't take any crap, and she always helps her friends, even getting into some pretty serious trouble! Becoming a bounty hunter and getting captured by Jabba? For a smuggler like Han? She needs an ability that reflects this.

Once per turn when another friendly ship at range 1-3 would suffer a crit, you may suffer that crit instead. If you do, roll one addition attack dice when you attack this round.

Cool! I think that makes for a neato ability.

Now what about pilot skill? Well, you don't get to fly a Y-Wing and not be a good pilot. It takes skill to pilot a warthog like the Y-Wing and so I'm putting Princess Leia at Ps6 with an EPT slot. That way she can jump up to 8 with VI like her bro Luke, and still make use of her ability.

Whatcha think?

Give it a try yourself. What does your Princess Leia Y-Wing expac contain?

Leia has a crew card...

Not a great one, but she has one.

So first off, let's give her a ship.

She flew an N1 starfighter in the comics!

Give it a try yourself. What does your Princess Leia Y-Wing expac contain?

Another named Y-Wing pilot.

Also give both of them a EPT slot.

Not a great one, but she has one.

Man, I really wish Han and Leia had better crew cards.

This.

And as it is, it's becoming pretty slim pickings for new Rebel ships at the moment. A fighter that's appeared in the films and has recently been piloted by a main character from the Original Trilogy? They'd be silly not to bring it in sometime.

And I know, prequel origin ship, but it a hell of a better choice than the freakin' H-Wing.

Han crew will be pretty beast on the Ghost at least. And Leia may have a place if Rebels ever get a really cheap crew carrier that she can ride along in to give a jousting squad all a free turn of Adrenaline Rush.

Oooh.... The Attack Shuttle....

To the drawing board!

Personally I don't think I could see her in a Y-wing

In the Dark Horse comics Leia is an X-Wing pilot.

Unless there's a gold bikini involved imma gonna say no, respect Carrie fishers wishes!

She thinks banning the bikini is wrong she's proud of how she looked in jedi, rightly so.

"How about telling his daughter that the character is wearing that outfit not because she’s chosen to wear it. She’s been forced to wear it. She’s a prisoner of a giant ******** who has a lot of saliva going on and she does not want to wear that thing and it’s ultimately that chain, which you’re now indicating is some sort of accessory to S&M, that is used to kill the giant saliva ********… That’s asinine."

Carrie Fisher is awesome.

Ah yes. The bikini thing.

I'm with Carrie on that.

ANyways...

Well what the heck should Leia be flyin around in then? Lol. I'm still sold on Y-Wing, even if it my reference was incorrect.

What the hell? Post failure imminent.

Yeah well that one's awkward because it's written after hope but before Lucas decided they were siblings so it's a bit iffy.

Not sure where you got this idea.

"This was no bikini. It was metal. It didn't go where you went. After the shots, the prop man would have to check me. He'd say, 'OK, **** are fine. Let's go.' So I started checking for any bounce or slip after takes. Then it was, 'Cut. Hey, how they doin', hooters in place? **** all right?' I was embarrassed at first with a hundred guys going crazy over my revealed self. Dignity was out of the question."

And more recently
Carrie Fisher has always been pretty frank that wearing the bikini made her feel uncomfortable. She's against banning Leia bikini merchandise, but not because she suddenly started thinking it was her finest moment.

Yeah no her comments about what feelings the future generation holds (mostly in their hands) for the new Star Wars Princess leaves little doubt as to their intentions.

Anyways.

Screw the bikini.

Y-Wings!

Sorry Leia, first we put you in a metal bikini as a date for a slug.

Then you gained a nasty glitterstim habit

and now we making you fly the N-1 Starfighter from Phantom Menace.

She flew a Y wing in Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

She also flew the Y-Wing throughout the Marvel comics series; it was always her ship of choice.

I'd rather see her in an X-Wing if she has to fly something. Already see too many Y-Wings.

Yeah, but how many named Ys?

I really don't care if they are named or not, still too many of them. I'd rather there were more X-Wings, hardly see *any* of them.

So, a crew slot on a Y Wing with an ICT?

So you've got a Tactician and R3-A2 dishing out two stress at the cost of one stress at a time, allowing you to get rid of it through any number of means to keep access to the actions.

I'll pass, thanks.

Multiple Stress & Ion inducing Y-Wings in the same list are also a possibility, for an extra helping of scary.
