Ciena Ree

By Crabbok, in X-Wing

So is this spoiled somewhere?

Ciena Ree is shown in this video and cited as having her art created for X-Wing Miniatures game - but I haven't seen her yet. Have I missed something? Looks like she's flying an Interceptor. (Even though she's the captain of the crashed Star Destroyer from TFA on Jakku)

I've never heard of her. She's got a long Wookieepedia entry; apparently she featured prominently in one of the new-canon YA novels? But it's hard to see how an Interceptor pilot gets released into the game, let alone a Star Destroyer captain. Maybe the podcast hosts got X-wing confused with another FFG game...?

Very interesting and from a very good book.

She flew an interceptor at Endor.

Maybe she was scrapped.

But then maybe, we will get even more TIE Interceptor pilots in the future.

See that was my first thought as well, especially considering that the art shown is not typically in the style of X-Wing pilots. (You only see the actual PILOT if it's a promo card, and you don't usually get promo cards for unreleased pilots).

So unless she is an upcoming promo card for a generic, (Could her backstory have involved her being an Avenger Squadron pilot or something?) I might guess that she could be a crew option.

But then again maybe she's for the card game or something? I have to THINK they got the game right, as Andi Gutierrez said she loves X-Wing Miniatures, so I doubt she'd screw up something like that.

PS I LOVE Andi.... I hope she gets a part in one of the Star Wars movies because I have a crush on her so bad!

Yeah, it seems like a tough mistake to make. But Ree definitely isn't in Imperial Veterans, she'd be a weird inclusion for Heroes of the Resistance (especially depicted in Imperial flight gear). And as you say, it's a weird depiction for X-wing anyway, since usually we get exterior shots of the ship. It's a puzzle.

I just saw this too! Have to say I'm excited, but it's weird nothing else is spoiled yet.

I was just about to post this. I had to go back and re-watch that about 6 times to catch what they said.

1st watch- "Did they say FFG?"

2nd watch- "Ok, they said FFG"

3rd watch- "Ya, that's FFG artwork alright."

4th watch- "Wait, did they say X-wing???!"

5th watch- "THEY DID SAY X-WING, now what am I lookin at???!"

6th watch- ".... HUH??"

I think they must of gotten something wrong.

She's not in Imp Vets, not even the right ship for that. She wouldn't fit in any sort of TFA set, and wouldn't seem to fit in any sort of Rogue One expansion. I just don't see how this card can be put into the game.

It doesn't even make sense as a promo card because those are only alt-art versions of existing cards. A alt-art version of a generic with a person on it makes no sense. I can't see FFG making alt-art alt-named version of an existing interceptor pilot.

So the only thing I can think of, and this would cause a massive backlash is if this was a card given away at some event that was a brand new Interceptor pilot, but a pilot that's limited to only those people who make it to that event. But I again can't imagine FFG doing something like that.

maybe she's fels wrath.

I saw her FIRST. :)

For those wondering, she's one of two main characters in Lost Stars, a pretty good book released prior to TFA.

Wholeheartedly recommended.

It's my third book from the new line of canon books, Tarkin was great, Aftermath I stopped halfway through and I'm nearly done with this one.

I almost wonder if it was a fumble on Disney's part? What if she was sent in for review for an expansion a long ways away, and Disney said "oh cool! We like this art! Let's show the fans!", when in fact she isn't planned for a long ways down the road in X-wing? Maybe another imperial epic and she is a crew?

Agree it's odd either way. The idea of her as a promo for a generic isn't too crazy. Probably the most likely option, but even that's weird.

Keep in mind how long FFG's lead time is. We may not see this artwork for over a year.

Thematically it makes no sense. Since a generic is supposed to be well generic, and a picture of a single person especially one without a helmet on, is not really generic.

Granted, but I can't think of anything that's likely to come out in the next year or so that would include something for Interceptors. That art doesn't even really make sense for a crew card... Those don't normally feature a ship on them.

I still think it's more likely that LFL said to FFG "Hey do you have anything with Ciena Ree on it?" They had something and LFL didn't told the cast of that show the wrong game.

It looks more like the artwork for Imperial assault or a crew card. She looks like she has so much sazz shell be z snapping all over the Emperors Sheevs grill...

Alt-art for an upgrade card in a future tournament kit? Maybe Predator? Squad Leader? And then it just gets re-used with her name attached in a future Armada/LCG release?

Then again...

Maybe ...

Card-only expansion packs?

It is very possible this is for a product FFG hasn't spoiled.

You know, it could be a crew card. Just throwing that out there.

Whoa, I am like 95% through the book and must agree with you. Very enjoyable read. Well written story, likeable characters. Lots of info about Imperial Navy (dem protein drinks ;) )

Really doesn't match the "style" of the crew cards at all , IMHO. Looks the most like the art used on the RPG character cards, for my money...wonder if she's one of the characters in the upcoming 'Force Awakens' RPG?

Unless you are reading and posting right now, I don't know how you put it down at 95%! I was GLUED those last few chapters,

Doesn't really fit her timeline. Lost Stars takes place mostly in the original trilogy period.

The RPG isn't specifically set during TFA, though, just heavily related to it. Indeed, it is entirely set amongst the wreckage of Jakku, and specifically *before* TFA (movie).

So an Imperial Star Destroyer captain may well still make an appearance there?

"He curled around Ciena, buried his face in the curve of her neck, and held on for the crash." :D
