Bespin!

By Crabbok, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

How about an Endor set with a Gorax, giant spider, and Sanyassan Marauders?

I second this motion.
I'm on board.

Maybe all the rebel heroes can be ewoks. :D

But youd need the Quaker Oatmeal guy with his blunt staff attack of YY that has a ton of Surge options and a little white furry guy with a Speed of 8.

Dude! That's Wilford M-Fing Brimley in his prime! Man came from the age when Hollywood hired real cowboys for their westerns. Anybody who can beat the crap out of a space orc with a stick has my respect.

Jabba's Palace would be an excellent opportunity to slip in Mara Jade.

He also has diabetes and struck his wife, but she's been dead for 5 years so he doesn't know WHO he hit....perhaps it was some space orcs...

LoL

And the Rebel heroes of next expansion are....

Ewoks_ID1.jpg

Wicket was my childhood hero, Tokkat always gave me nightmares lol. Looks like a the type of teddy bear that would drive a windowless van.

Any idea why Gambit doesn't show up as "upcoming?"

It's not a real expansion. Why else would the box not have any imperials? And the imperial villain be named Oldman Blaise?

I didn't realize I needed Teebo in this game.

Are those one of these things? The mouths are kind of the same.

Ewoks get derided and puffed up teddy bears, right up until you see one jump out of a tree onto the back of a boarwolf, get spun around and slammed into a tree, and pop up and dust himself off before throwing himself back into combat.

Or throw himself off a cliff on an untested glider for no other reason than to chase a pterodactyl dragon thing ten times bigger than he is.

Then you realize Ewok are human eating warriors and tough little b*****ds with no concept whatsoever of "fear". I would be *totally cool with an ewok hero in this game. Give the little guy and axe and a supersized set of cojones and he would wreck some imperials.

Ewoks are the living embodiment of "size matters not"

And they would be the star wars equivalent of a dwarf. Every good game needs a dwarf. Ewok hero stats:

Speed 3 (short legs)

Health 10

Endurance 5

White defense

Starting weapon stone axe with a YG attack, surge for +1 damage, surge for cleave

Second starting weapon Stone Bola with a YB attack with surge for +1 accuracy, surge for stun

Abilities: Piggy Back Ride - One strain, Perform when adjacent to a hostile figure. Your figure occupies the same space as the hostile figure to perform a melee attack with -1 evade and -1 defense. After the attack resolves, you can choose to move your figure OR the hostile figure to any legal adjacent space.

Natural Remedies - One strain, You may remove one harmful condition, this ability may be used multiple times per activation

Technologically impaired - You cannot equip blaster weapons.

What do you think?

More imperial assault?

Yes please.

I'm thrilled with more content for this great game!

(can you imagine an ewok with a vibroaxe? Holy Cannoli!)

My only suggestion would be for the skill deck. The four pointers would be,

1) Give the ability to summon an ewok warrior companion (Ewoks often fight together to bring down big game)

2) upgrade the native white die with the "Lucky" ability like R2D2 (ewoks often survive stupid improbable odd totally unscathed)

Piggy Back, Natural Remedies, and Tech Impaired are perfect. I couldn't have done better myself.

Totally unscathed?? TOTALLY UNSCATHED?!?!? YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN!!! YOU WEREN'T THERE!!!

The Ewoks being badasses is one of the silliest parts of the EU. It was an obvious attempt at a retcon/story explanation for why those "puffed up teddy bears" were capable of decimating what one would assume to be a crack unit of Imperials guarding the Death Star shield generator aside from the real reason: Lucas knew kids would love Ewoks. That whole battle scene in Jedi was silly, the EU turning them into tough guys was even sillier.

That said I'm all for an Ewok hero because I think it would be ridiculous.

Marvel showed us how to love a pissed-off, genetically enhanced, smart-mouthed raccoon with a chip on his shoulder so I say bring on "Yub-Yub" (codename: Subject XYN-42) who has an axe to grind with his former Imperial captors.

Yub yub!

Here's to the spirits of the forest moon!

Actually had an idea today: mini campaign called binary revolution. Focuses on droids and a scheme of ig88's give then a prefect chance to release a good version of the character. Include mine and factory tiles.

I have no problem with a cuddly creature also being deadly. I have a problem (using the term very loosely) with what the Ewoks were shown to be on film compared to what they were later written to be in the EU.

Bioware created a female ewok warrior companion called Treek for their SW:The Old Republic MMO and that takes place like 3000 years before OT, so the Ewok culture/livelyhood is already out there as "mystic"/"hermit warrior" race. So Im good with one in the Endor set. They can use Bowcaster or Battle Axe and Im good.

Everything I'm talking about took place on film. I dont think any of us have referenced written work.

Isn't most of the stuff you mentioned from the EU / non-canon movies?

Not at the time of their creation

But they were always terrible movies. :P

That said, even if you just keep RoTJ (for some reason) the Ewoks still eat humans and hunt Stormtroopers (using their armor in their decorations), construct complex mechanical traps and have harnessed the power of flight. They are shown to be fearless when, without being asked, one of them steals a speederbike to serve as a distraction, and they *know what speederbikes do. I'm just saying, even if you stripped your lore down to a single film, ewoks are pretty impressive.
