It's probably Donnie Yen in a ship, but he's blind so he's not supposed to fly ships, so that would be a huge spoiler. Something like that (i'm hoping).
SWX58 Still missing
I'm hoping it's a campaign box (a la Star Wars armada) like others have speculated. The armada campaign box is including several new squadron cards that will be tournament legal, so the xwing campaign box could conceivably contain fixes for the t-65, e-wing, scum ships, and new astromechs, crew, etc. maybe even package the campaign box with the rogue one partisan xwing model to cash in on Rogue One hype.
You go to hell, you go to hell and you die!!!
I think if we're going to see a Force Friday release it'll be something large box, to be sold at Target etc. like a most wanted style box.
If it's not a Force Friday thing it could be anyone's guess. Though I'm pushing for scum epic, WAY past due.
I FOUND SWX58!
... not missing after all: it was behind the couch the whole time...
... eat'n a banana and not at all aware dat peeps wuz look'n for his ass!
That hasnt stopped them before. Such as Assaj Ventris in the Shadowcaster, she wasnt originally in it.
This is actually wrong. She flew one, named the Banshee, in the canon novel Dark Disciple.

The ship was intended to be used as Asajj's personal ship in the Clone Wars animated series, but the series ended before they could use it. It was used in Rebels instead.

SWX 58 is our 4th version of the T-70 X-Wing called "Resistance Aces"
Resistance Aces!
Slamming into the X-Wing scene comes the latest expansion pack for X-Wing's "The Force Awakens" theme. This expansion, features two T-70 X-Wings from Episode 7, with the classic grey and blue paint job, and several new upgrade cards to augment your existing gameplay possibilities! There are also several new pilots for your T-70 X-Wings! Sail the skies as "Blue Veteran", a Pilot skill 5 T-70 pilot with two Elite Pilot Talent abilities! Or Blue "Blackjack", a Pilot skill 6 T-70 with the ability to perform a Barrel Roll! Try your hand at the latest Poe Dameron pilot card, depicting a young Poe Dameron before the start of Episode 7, and in true Episode 7 fashion, he comes in at Pilot Skill 7!
And don't forget new upgrades! Each T-70 in this expansion comes with a special title "Veteran Squadron", a 0-point title that increases the T-70 X-Wing's attack by 1 point, bringing it up to 4 attack! How about the new Fusion Torpedo, that is T-70 X-Wing only! 7 Dice for only 3 squad points! And eight, count'em EIGHT new astromechs that are all T-70 X-Wing only - even a 0-point Astromech that grants you one extra pilot skill!
Coming soon!
Wow, that would be powerful, but, yes, awesome!
I want it.
You know.. with Y-wings as being confirmed in Rogue One http://imgur.com/a/ga5Tn
I can see this being the rebel Veterans pack with T-65 and Y-wings... On hold until Force Friday the end of the month.
Why would you give a Wampa a gun!?
While scum epic sounds nice, I don't see the tie in to Rogue One unless a scum epic is revealed in the film. On the other hand, T-65s are everywhere in the film. Rogue One box with a T-65, a fix for it, some good astromechs that synergize well with E-wings as well, and maybe a Y-wing as well if it appears in the film to give Rebels some more Y-wing pilots. Y-wing feels like a stretch though.

Woo hoo! Y-wings don't feel like much of a stretch any longer!

From the Garbage article: "Like all the other "aces" expansions for X-Wing, Heroes of the Resistance revisits one or more of the ships already in the game—two, in this case—and updates them with new miniatures, ship cards, and upgrades."
I'd be upset if Rebels get two aces packs in the same year before poor scum does. #ScykLivesMatter
I'd be upset if an expansion containig one ship released twice less than a year ago and one that noone wants to see again on the tables took the Rebel Veterans slot instead of long overdue updates to ships from waves 1, 3 and 4.

Where'd you hear that? Her name was in the card fan in the original announcement article.

And rebels are free to get another aces pack after scum gets one. Remember that the development cycle for new expansions isnt short. They probably started working on hotr while rebels were top tier

There was a brief window in which the card fan image showed two other pilots, not Sabine and Asajj. The image was quickly switched out for the current one.
Could it be a Rebel 4 pack?
Imagine.. Y, X, X, E
I'd love it
New color scheme Y
X wing in Partisan
X wing in standard red, but varied
E wing because its needed
Edited by WiredinScums got $40 aces pack back in wave 6. Most wanted 2: Dead or Alive will be the $40 vet pack with Scyk, Khyraxz and Starviper. After the rebels get their Vet pack/rogue one box with awesome repaints of X and Y (with EPTs!). HOTR is Resistance, not rebel alliance. And yes I fully expect a a First Order Aces sometime as well, around the time of Episode 8.
Why would you give a Wampa a gun!?
That mental image is hilarious, until you realize SW already gave a green pig an axe.
Anyway, I assume it's a Talz or some other big white furry alien.
Empire Strikes Back 2: the Revenge of One Arm! Watch out Luke, payback is hell...random and clumsy, but hell.

Most Wanted is not an aces pack. It is the Scum core set, or more like the Scum expansion of the Core set + Wave 1-4.
I'd like the sku number to be one big box of cards and pilot bases, and for it to be called "X-Wing: The Fixes".
The box would contain titles, upgrades, pilots, and general fixes and re-balancing tools for for the Scyk, E-Wing, Starviper, K-Fighter, T-65, Firespray, generic Phantoms, TIE Punisher, G-1A Starfighter, maybe something very minor for the HWK.
The box would also re-release a ton of cards that were almost well designed with minor fixes; including Rage, Systems Officer, Cloaking Device, Elusiveness, Expert Handling, Bodyguard, Saboteur, and re-cost decent but overpriced cards like Hotshot Blaster, Autoblaster Cannon, a handful of ordnance cards, Hull and Shield Upgrade, Fleet Officer, Opportunist, etc.
...yeah, I know that I might as well be wishing for a pile of gold on top of a dragon that shoots rainbow lasers out of its mouth, but still...we're fantasizing in this thread, right?

Well they gave one a tie fighter and it turned out alright
Besides, who wouldn't fear a gang of militarized abominable snowmen?

I would settle for a TIE Advanced updated expansion with title and ATC and Palpatine. But oh well, I guess I need to spend 100 bucks for mini-ISD anyway if I want all the epic stuffs.
