Han is very cool.

Oh Smuggling Compartment works on a YT-2400 too?

Han Solo doesn't care about traffic laws I guess.

5 points for Finn seems a bit steep.

That was suspected from the original preview. SLAM illicit upgrade is pretty much exactly what we thought also: 1 use SLAM action on your action bar.

Han Solo doesn't care about traffic laws I guess.

I think Han is the best pilot coming out of the HotR, possibly best card.

"The new Falcon is not just a more uniform design. It also breaks a mold within the X-Wing line; it is the first ship to feature an engine glow."

Oh snap, I'm too excited by this, I think.

Oh my, Han. I love it. Chewie will be kind of fun with a suicide swarm. Finn is great with all the reroll abilities there are.

5 points for Finn seems a bit steep.

Yeah it seems like a high price tag for a dubious advantage. He obviously needs to be paired with stuff that lets you reroll dice. Rey, for one, also predator could be good. I can't think of a good defensive combo (maybe lone wolf? - but ehh)

Strangely Finn would work better with original Han

5 points for Finn seems a bit steep.

He raises the primary and secondary of any ship that can reliably reroll. He's very powerful if comboed correctly. Probably a very strong combo with the right ARCs.

Rey also works defensively. I kind of like the Rey pilot w/Finn and Threepio combo. Could be quite annoying.

I also like how Rey crew can work well with Jyn for banking Focus.

Chewie can attack at any pilot skill in every phase now. That's so rad.

On his own pehaps, but as that blank result is re-rollable, as soon as it's comboed with rey, or old han, or predator, or just an old-fashioned target lock, it could be pretty effective.

The frack? Finn is 5pts for a BLANK result?

The hell is that? I wouldnt even pay 2pts for that crap considering he takes a very valuable crew slot.

You NEED Lone Wolf for that defense blank to possibly do anything at all.

You NEED a TL, Old Han, or a card that offers rerolls to make that red die do anything.

I was fully expecting him to do something in arc but not that bs. Thats even less useful than Luke Crew at 7pts.

Have to admit though...Chewie and New Han seem interesting. I might want VI on Han so i can guarantee he deploys last. Deploying basically behind your opponent is pretty huge. Chewie would compliment a miniswarm well, offering a basically 1-3 range Biggs effect because if you dont kill him first hes going to revenge fire you multiple times.

seriously, that's a 2 point card

technically, cards that don't do anything by themselves should be 0 points

FFG is really ******* over the poor guy, which is sad because he could've been great at the right cost/combo

at least we get pseudo-moldy?

Dangit, I was really hoping the new versions would suck so I wouldn't have to buy it and have 2 Falcons (yes they are not really both the Falcon, but it is the only YT-1300 I saw and know!)

Now I am all excited for the new cards... sigh...

Sooo competitively, new Han is... Useless I'm gonna say? And Finn is as much as Gunner?

Ya, not expecting to see those cards much... ever.

5 points for Finn seems a bit steep.

See:

Finn is great with all the reroll abilities there are.

I could have seen Finn at 4, but being able to add a die to an attack for free is pretty powerful. OG Han, Target Lock, Pilot Rey, Predator, etc. etc.

Getting the defensive die is less great since less things modify defense dice, but still.

ENGINE GLOW!!!!!!!!! If it comes out that good that will be sweet!

Yeah, that would be kind of nutso with Threepio and Rey. They are going a bit conservative with him. I mean, do you want another Threepio?

Check again, Finn is primary only.

Hard to think of a defensive use for Finn (apart from pairing with Rey obviously). Autothrusters would be cool but I cannot think of any Rebel ship with Boost action and Crew slots. How about anything with Tech slots? He would work well with Sensor Clusters against big attacks but again we lack anything with that. Ironically he would be really good in a Tie/SF.

with torp scouts? sure

the falcon's DOA as is; I want something any other ship can use without shooting itself in the foot please

this is shaping up to be a worthless expansion, sadly. the t-70, t-70 related upgrades and epts will have to carry

Finn on a Ghost with FCS!
