But at least his compositions, from what I've seen (though I can't say I've read any of the comics he's drawn for that I know of), looked like finished products, not rough sketches of half-realized shapes and lines that should intersect but don't with sloppy color fill. Just take a look at the TIE Bomber and the TIE Fighter under it. They're just so wrong. Not to mention how unrecognizable a lot of the other ships are.

Yes, but...

You're a fanboy.

Don't project your own fanboyism onto me!

I don't even think I mentioned GUNBOAT prior to now.

That whole panel lacks a sense of perspective and distance, and everything is equally less-detailed, or undetailed, not to mention how rough and unfinished it looks. It really looks like a rough draft. A lot of things that should by symmetrical lack that symmetry, there are like no clean lines anywhere, lines that should connect or intersect don't, you can even see multiple attempts to get a shape right, all overlaid on each other with no clean up. I'm certainly no artist but for somebody getting paid to draw it seems a really poor effort. I can't even wave it away by saying impressionism. Anyway, I should really let it go, cuz I don't even read the comic. I just hope nothing in that panel ends up on the table looking like that.

I would agree - I'm a lifelong comic-book reader and just think this panel stinks. It's badly/hastily put together and lacks cohesion. Comparing this to Rob Leifield is a bit redundant as it's not him so just because it shares some characteristics, that doesn't alter the fact it's really not very good.

I'm excited to get all of these pilots in the game, I just wish we could get them in the ships that they're associated with - Braylen in a B-Wing, Thane in an X-Wing, Shara in an A-Wing, Norra in a Y.

Now that FFG is spreading its wings a bit in terms of porting pilots from one ship to another, I still hold out some hope that we'll see that someday.

On the bright side, all those pilot abilities are actually pretty respectable in their respective 'proper' hulls...

The galaxy is a big place ... yet it feels that everyone we see is directly related somehow. Is there a character that isn't the father, mother, brother, sister, room mate, partner, etc. to someone else?

Challenge, our planet has 6-7 billion people on it. Go and high 5 a thousand randoms .. chance of a relationship between them??

It's called good genes, and parents teaching their skills to their children. Happens all the time.

Archie Manning = NFL quarterback

Had three sons, two of which are superbowl winning quarterbacks.

Del Curry = NBA player

Had two sons, both who are NBA basketball players

Mario Andretti and Michael Andretti

Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr.

Bobby Bonds and Barry Bonds

Or Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds both being actresses.

Or Nicolas Cage and his uncle Francis Ford Coppola.

They're not selecting from a massive pool here; it's a case of people who supported the Rebellion and were also rebellious enough to move to the Resistance when the Republic wasn't active enough against the First Order. Child of a famous Rebel pilot seems reasonable.

Following in your father's / mother's footsteps is completely different.

Point to an example of a humble farmer, learning his twin sister is a princess of a different country, whose father turns out to be the evil dictator. Now add to this example another random character from a different world joining the family tree. It's bordering on being so fantastic that the Twilight series is starting to look like a documentary.

I will accept that the Force plays a part in all this .. but it seems it has forsaken every other family in the galaxy.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Terex in a starfighter, but these things look more like makeshift spacecraft, like the one from the flashback that was basically the head of an AT-AT with TIE-Fighter panels ...

This will be in either Wave 11 or Wave 12. I'm calling it now, although being vague.

My brain is still trying to figure out the geometry of this ship, but the paint scheme is pretty.
