Admiral Ackbar's "Daisy Mae" ship

By Crabbok, in X-Wing

I have a feeling we are gonna get this for X-Wing at some point.

So in Star Wars Droid Tales Ackbar has this Blue and White starfighter he calls "Daisy Mae". It's something of a joke, or so I thought, but it just showed up again in Star Wars Lego the Force Awakens, sitting right here on a Landing Pad. Again, it COULD be a joke ship but it looks pretty cool actually and I BET you were going to see it in X-Wing at some point.... with Ackbar as a pilot!

I guess It's the same class of ship as Anakin's Jedi Starfighter.... but since Ackbar made sucha big deal out of it....

Jedi Starfighter you say?

I'll take your post to mean ETA-2 from SWG confirmed in Wave 10!

I think he's talking about this starfighter from the first animated Clone Wars mini-series (not the computer generated one):

I so want to fly Daisy May

Didn't he rock around in a B-wing/E2 variant?

Wasn't that, y'know, part of the entire point of that variant existing?

Er... No. Old EU Ackbat designed the Bwing. Wasn't an ace in one.

He did actually cruise around in a B-wing/E2. It's what crashed into the Cathedral of Winds (?)... totally forget which novel that was, though.

EDIT: Also, I believe he was just a passenger.

EDIT AGAIN (thanks, Wookieepedia): Yes, Cathedral of Winds on Vortex. Dark Apprentice, Book 2 of the Jedi Academy trilogy. And it looks like he was piloting...

his ship had been sabotaged.

So you're saying he should come as a crew member, then. :D

The blurb I read on Wookieepedia seemed to indicate that he was indeed piloting. I haven't read that book in ages, though, so ya got me.

Totally need an Ackbar pilot/crew card whatever the ship ends up looking like

Ackbar (crew, X points):
At the start of the combat phase, you may declare, "It's a trap!" to roll one attack die. On a [boom] result, each of your ships at Range 1-2 of this ship may perform a free action shown on its action bar. On a [kaboom] result, each of your ships at Range 1-2 of this ship may perform a free [boost] or [barrel roll] action or an action shown on its action bar.

Totally for fun.

I would make him huge ship only and just give every non-huge ship you have a free action on discard.

Edit: Stupid, stupid autocorrect

I would say 4 points, and add this text: On a focus result, you may assign a focus token to all friendly ships at range 1-2.

He was the pilot. He felt really bad about and when into exile on Mon Calamari for about 50 pages, then got over it

Droid Tales is pretty funny. Most of the jokes are aimed towards the "grumble grumble prequels grumble special editions grumble" crowd and they're hilarious. They also kill jar jar like 3 times in the show.

Well...it is a sweet ride.

How can I have not known about this "Droids" thing?

My very essence is comprised of tongue in cheek self effacing humour! This seems to be right up my proverbial alleyway. I shall have to engage in some discovery.
