With HotR now being drip fed to us as a more thematic expansion, I'd like to see some movie tie-in lists that can be played.

Of course, none of this relates to tournament play, meta dominance or hard counter thinking, just simply flying casual. I've had a go at working up a Rebel list, with the Battle of Endor in mind. It's probably something that's been done before, or you've already toyed with in your own X-Wing sessions, but play along anyway. If there's any corrections to be made as they relate to the canon of the movies, then post comments.

Lando Calrissian - 44
Millenium Falcon - 1
Veteran Instincts - 1
Nien Nunb - 1

Wedge Antilles - 29
R2 Astromech - 1
Integrated Astromech - 1
Crack Shot - 1
Proton Torpedoes - 4

Green Squadron Pilot - 19
Chardaan Refit - -2

Total = 100 pts.

The thinking is this: Lando was Gold Leader so he gets a bump up to PS9, he's crewed with NN, I think there was other bodies in the cockpit but I've left the second crew slot empty. Of course they're on the Falcon.

This Wedge build is hugely inefficient, but let's assume he has a standard R2 in there. We do see him fire torpedoes into the Death Star. I was toying with Deadeye instead of Crackshot, but a case for either can be made. (Probably Deadeye due to the torpedoes).

The Green Squadron is kind of a filler, but A-Wings are fun and they were there, man.

Post what you have. Corrections/suggestions always welcome.

Darth Vader - Predator, Advanced Targeting Computer, TIE/x1, Engine Upgrade - 37

Mauler Mithel - 17

I reckon this would make a great fun event to run! Everyone has to pick a movie and come up with good reasons for the ships and upgrades.

Add some story into the game again.

Escape from Hoth

Luke - Engine Upgrade, Predator, Flechette Torpedoes, R2-D2 (Luke would never ditch R2)

Wes - Integrated Astromech, Predator, Flechette Torpedoes, R2 Astro

Tarn - Integrated Astromech, Flechette Torpedoes, R3-A2

Battle for Takodana

Poe (HotR) - Predator, Integrated Astromech, R2 Astro, Sensor Cluster, The Black One

Blue Ace - Integrated Astromech, Targeting Astro (art on the card places them at Takodana)

Red Vet - Integrated Astromech, Cool Hand, Targeting Astro

Phoenix Squadron

VCX100

Hera - Ghost Title, Fire Control System, Dorsal Turret, Kanan, Chopper

Attack Shuttle

Sabine - Crack Shot, Dorsal Turret

A-Wing

Green Squadron Pilot - Autrothrusters, Push the Limit, Proton Rockets

(although it makes Palp shuttle with two Interceptors kinda fluffy, :-( )

From the Aftermath book series, Norra Wexley was the pilot of the Y-Wing that flew into the 2nd Death Star at Endor with Lando. Not sure if her Y-wing pilot card is coming in an expansion soon or not.

That would be pretty cool. I was referring to the EU pilots that made the run; I know they've changed it some for canon, but I didn't know Wexley was now it the Y-wing.

But Soontir cannot be there )

And Carnor Jax wasn't on Death Star II, so:

Emperor's Escort

Captain Kagi (27)

Enhanced Scopes (1)

Emperor Palpatine (8)

Ion Projector (2)

Royal Guard Pilot (22)

Push the Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

Royal Guard Pilot (22)

Push the Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Shield Upgrade (4)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

Total: 100

Wiki says, Palp's shuttle had additional shielding and cloaking device, but none of the Shield Upgrade or Stealth Device, fits in 100 pts, and Cloaking Device is only for Scums.

Royal Guard TIEs have additional shielding.

Strange build, actually, Palp gives interceptors a lot of help, but the shuttle takes a lot of target locks, and must block to use Ion Projector. It's like "We are guarding you, but you need to be on the spearhead" )

Hang on a second. Why should rebels and imps get all the fun?
