Troubling thought for wave 9...

By gaerithe, in X-Wing

What if FFG had built wave 9 as a tie-in to Rogue One since it was originally scheduled for a May release & The Mouse is making them put it on hold since they pushed the movie release back until December?

Do we think FFG will push up a filler wave or will we have a release drought over the summer?

(Although, now that I think of it, a little time to catch up on my purchases would help my wallet quite a bit...)

Rouge One was always a December release. It was Episode VIII that was originally a May release

,

Rogue one didn't get pushed back. VIII is.

Oops. Got them mixed up.

On the topic of those two movies though, anyone care to take a guess at when we'll see the first official Rogue One trailer?

May.

The 4th?

Be with you?

Always

Wow... This thread was completely stolen like the Death Star plans...

...and I ain't even upset.

Only problem I see with Rogue 1 is that as of yet no Bothans.

Can I ask why you are so concerned about wave 9 being delayed? We are still getting to grips with last wave( 3 K wings?) the Gozanti and Force awakens dropped a load more options in our lap and wave 8 will shake things up even more, plus Imperial veterans in the not too distant future!

I think we are good til at least Christmas, let's not be greedy eh

Not that much of a problem as many of those critters died during the stealing of the plans for the second DS.

Rogue One is about the stealing of the plans for DS1

And now I feel dumb. Plus side, now Rogue 1 looks much better.

Unless bothans are now shapeshifters, and we've seen them along. Which would make more sense than a race of camel head people being the best spies in a galaxy that has an overwhelming human presence. If i were an imperial i would arrest/shoot ANY bothan i see.

It's a very common mistake, that line is so burned into the collective unconsiousness.

That's about as silly as a foreigner arresting/shooting any American they see because the CIA exists (or Israeli because Mossad HUMINT is top-notch, etc.). Which isn't to say it doesn't happen, it's just really stupid.

Really? So if I am a member of an all HUMAN military force, on a military installation that may be housing imperial secrets, and I find a bothan, known throughout the galaxy as spies, it is stupid to stop them?

No, of course not, you'd just be doing your duty as a hardworking member of the rightful government.

Let me buy you a drink, you look like you could use one. Here, have another. Oh look, it's my sister over there. She's been awfully lonely since her boyfriend dumped her, let's ask her over. Isn't her fur soft? Say, I've gotta go and it looks like she's had a bit too much to drink. Would you mind keeping an eye out and seeing her home? I'll make it worth your while, a favour, one friend to another.

Say, I hear you had some... shall we say entertaining times with my sister. Would your commander approve would you say?

Even though the Bothans are for stealing ds2 plans it would still be cool to see them on screen.

Well we still don't know what all characters in the movie look like... It's possible we'll see a Bothan or two.

Have we ever seen a Bothan on screen, though? Since Disney has thrown out the EU, Bothans could easily be made into a human race, from the planet of Botha. Maybe the whole Rogue One crew IS Bothans!

On the topic of those two movies though, anyone care to take a guess at when we'll see the first official Rogue One trailer?

Never! Though that could be because I'll sit in the cinema and refuse to look at the screen rather than have another film wrecked by trailers that show far too much.

I'm totally miserable when it comes to trailers, especially as the release date of a film approaches and they get more spoiler-y.

May.

Yeah, all signs point to it being in front of Civil War.

There is a half second shot of the back of the head of an alien in the force awakens in Maz's place that I "think" looks like a bothan. Could be totally wrong though.

Other than that, no.
