Anyone attended the FFG panel at Celebration? / New Expansion announced?

By Jedi Bendu, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

The FFG panel at Celebration just ended. Since I was hoping the new IA expansion would be shown I was wondering if someone has any news?

Ya it was pretty cool they actually issued a formal apology for messing up the timelines with the quote "You were right FrogTrigger, we were wrong, sorry. Here have a Rebels Big Box expansion!!"

And then I woke up.

Blah blah blah blah. All I heard was "Rebels Big Box Expansion!!" Wooo!

Blah blah blah blah. All I heard was "Rebels Big Box Expansion!!" Wooo!

Really! Or are you just taking me for a fool?

Probably would've heard of something by now... either in the news section or from some random guy's twitter.

I would LOVE to see a new base set with a Rogue One theme :)

Ok, I asked FFG on Twitter....

@FFGames Since I missed the panel: was there a new IA expansion announced?

They replied with this:

Fantasy Flight Games @FFGames There was not.

So, maybe an announcement on Gencon?

most likely.
FA, or Rebels. or Rogue one themed I would expect.

Three more weeks of speculation then! (most likely)

~D

What did they actually talk about at the panel then? Is there a way to read/hear it?

most likely.

They can't announce any Rogue One merchandise until any other company, on September 30, almost 2 months after Gencon. Not to say a Rebels set is unlikely, just that we won't know about it until the end of September if it exists.

Gencon seems most likely. There's been a major announcement for the game there last 2 years. I'd expect a big box either Return of the Jedi or Rebels focused.

Likely mostly sales numbers, but they DID announce a campaign focused box set for Armada, according to some on the Reddit. Looking if there was additional gaming content announced for other systems, but not finding anything. We'll probably get some goodies at GenCon for most of the major games.

No sales numbers, no mention of the LCG. It was largely an overview of the RPG, Armada, IA and X-Wing for a general audience.

So bring no the Ewoks?
