This may be a new expansion coming to the play-mat.

No not the TIE Interceptors...

No not the GR-75...

No not the YT-2400...

No not the new Attack Shuttle on the Ghost...

The ship Chopper is 'slotted' in, at the 1:13 mark... I can NOT figure it out. Anyone out there have a clue??

https://youtu.be/xmXp802sFgQ?t=1m12s

Forget the ship. . .I WANT THRAWN!!!!

It...might be the shuttle we see a few seconds later? Or it could always be a speeder of some sort.

Because just what this game needs are more ships from Rebels... yawn...

Looks like he was slotted into it on the side, so not the Phantom. Probably just a one-off ship in one episode.

I'm pretty sure it's the ship we see docked in the Ghost later, at 2:10, when the Star Destroyer jumps in. Because I'm 99% sure that ship is not the Phantom. https://youtu.be/xmXp802sFgQ?t=2m9s

Some of us actually like the ships from rebels. Inquisitor has been big in the meta. Ghost is one of the few rebel ships seeing consistant play. Shadowcaster and fang fighter are both looking like theyll be good for scum

I think that's part of the issue. One of the main reasons the two players who introduced me to the game have stopped playing is because the game has taken a heavy turn towards items from a show for children. No hate towards Rebels (I think it's pretty cool for what it is), but in the end, X-wing is a game with a largely adult audience. A number of players already struggle with the negative connotation that comes along with playing with plastic ships as an adult (no need to let me know they shouldn't let what other people think bother them and get over it, because for some it's not that simple), and adding ships from a children's cartoon isn't helping fringe players feel better about the hobby from my experience.

But this is entirely my experience and why I would much prefer FFG pull from every other source which adult players would feel more comfortable with from this point forward. Having said that, I fully understand why FFG has used lots of material from the show lately (one reason being the factions are drawing thin on quality material), but it hasn't been great for me personally.

I agree. Unfortunately, I think it's likely that FFG is getting pressure from the Mouse to release ships from current movies and shows, which is why we haven't been seeing any new EU ships lately. .

I think it's of Mandalorian origin. We see it at the 1:21 mark approaching Concord Dawn with Fenn Rau complimenting Sabine.

You can dislike it, but there's new official canon coming out. EU can't compete with that. Rebels is relevant.

And more importantly, Rebels has turned into the easiest avenue for Lucasfilm to revive EU material. See: the YT-2400 and Thrawn. Like it or not, it's not going away, and I wouldn't be surprised if we've seen the end of EU in X-Wing. There's just too much new stuff coming out. I'm deciding to be optimistic about it, f*** the haters.

I'm sorry they quit (even party) over that. Personally, I've greatly enjoyed Rebels (as someone nowhere near child age myself), and think it makes a good source for new ships. We've already got (or are getting) the ships from the new movie, there's not really any other canon ships left to make without going back to clone wars/old republic era. I doubt we'll see many more legends ships outside of times when there aren't really any canon ships left to fill the hole.

I doubt they need any pressure from disney to do so. What's more likely to sell and make them money? Something from a current movie/TV show that tons of people are watching, or a ship from a 20 year old video game that only a small (if vocal) part of the audience will even recognize?

I think it is extremely condescending to think because it is animated it must be for children. Are you saying I cannot enjoy the show because it is in your view for children? Who are you or anyone for that matter to decide what is Star Wars and what isn't? It is a tabletop game using fantasy ideas from a space opera. I get annoyed at these sort of suggestions that because it's animated, or because it is not the Original three movies it isn't Star Wars. Things change, things grow, if people feel uncomfortable because of the plastic ships they are using are from a "kids" show, then probably this game isn't for them.

I saw The Empire Strikes Back in 1980 at my local drive in theatre with my parents. I was 6 at the time, so I have followed Star Wars for a very long time, do not tell me how I can enjoy this incredible universe and what is for adults and what is for children.

Now that I'm looking at it, I'm not sure if the Ghost-docked (possibly Mandalorian, as T70 Driver pointed out) is the same ship in the topic. I don't see an astromech slot in the full view, and in the shot with Chopper, the ship is moving in the direction the camera's facing, so Chopper would be at the front of the ship. Not sure it fits with the other ship.

Given some of the places the show went last season, I'd take issue with dismissing Rebels as "a show for children."

I absolutely agree with you. I freaking love Clone Wars, Pixar movies, Miyazaki movies, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, and Rebels, among many other animated shows and movies.

However, there are also many people who do dismiss animation as "just for kids," for..... reasons. Their opinion of Disney, probably, and the fact that a lot of kids' media is animated. Those people are wrong, but they do exist.

I don't think it's too much of a problem for Star Wars, really. Fans with kids generate a LOT of profits for the Star Wars properties. Sure, it'll keep some people from playing X-Wing, but I would rather those people not pollute my favorite game, so good riddance, I'd say.

Play the game. Enjoy it. Don't buy ships from shows you don't like. And don't be a d*ck about not liking a show. F*** the haters.

The animation isn't what makes it for children. The production is what clearly identifies it as a show targeted for children. There is a big difference between a target audience and an audience as a whole. If it had an adult male target audience, those commercials between segments would look a lot different. So, yes, the show is a show for children. That doesn't mean that they are the only ones who ever watch it, or the only ones who enjoy it. But they are the ones the show is created, written, and directed towards. Luckily, Disney is smart enough, much like many of their popular children's films, to throw in a bone or two for the adult audience, because they are smart enough to do the math and realize every kid has a parent. And in this case, the parent often isn't just watching because they have to be there with their kid, but also because they love the Star Wars universe as well!

If you can go ahead and re-read what I wrote, I don't state in a single portion that you cannot enjoy a show which has a target audience of children (lets say ages 6-15 for this specific series). I enjoy the show myself and find it has enough depth to keep me interested, while in a rare while there will be an episode I end up rolling my eyes at a bit and end up skimming through. Some others find it wholly unwatchable and see it as too "kiddy" (for the lack of a better term) for their taste.

And the only entity that has a say as to what is Star Wars and what is not is the Walt Disney Company. And any Star Wars fan is just along for the ride, even if they wish to entirely reject what they are doing.

I see no issue with someone longing for the identity of the Star Wars universe to remain crisp and largely in unison with the original trilogy with little representation outside of that. For many, that is Star Wars. But that boat sailed years ago for this game. Yet the heavy inclusion of Rebels content in X-wing, I hope you can understand, can be pretty jarring for these, let's call them, "purists". It seems to be flooding the game and one could argue it is more an identity of the game than the original trilogy now. Whether or not their hope for the game is/was realistic is beside the point. They don't like the direction the game has gone, and that's that. There is no reason for anyone to be offended here. Someone is not seeing what they want, so they don't play it any more. It's as simple as that.

How is rebels content any different from the other EU ships that have been put in the game? Shouldn't be any more jarring than a lot of the scum ships. or the TIE Phantom, or several other non-movie ships already in the game.

The one I'll accept as jarring (compared to anything else) is Sabine's TIE in wave 10. Doesn't bother me any, but I can understand why it might bother some.

Hmm... I think the spaceship looks like a Neimoidian escort shuttle... know as the Sheathipede-class transport shuttle which was used by the Trade Federation during the clone war... there must be a ton of these left from the war.

Probably a smaller variety, maybe customized by the Rebellion for the Ghost crew. It doesn't look like they had an astromech slot, though, so that doesn't appear to be our mystery ship.
