Guessing Jabba's Ability

All we can see is that he is Scum only.

No mention of Huge Ship only - so likely he'll be able to go on the Hound's Tooth and maybe even other ships.

At first I thought he might be a more powerful "Swap" card - ie letting you swap out upgrades during the end phase, like some other crew. But now here is my prediction:

Jabba the Anti-Ace. Destroying the 2-3 ship meta.

Basically Jabba will be able to destroy one enemy ship. Oh, not outright. But he'll be like Agent Kallus on steroids. Choose ONE enemy ship at the start of the game. Maybe ALL of your ships gain +1 Attack and +1 defense when attacking that ship.

Jabba - gives rise to swarms coming back to the meta. That is my prediction.

Basically issuing a bounty on that ship? I like the theme of it. But yea, thats gotta cost

Maybe a condition card for Scum.

people are looking at the Illicit tokens as possible EM for illicits. Could be from him.

All friendly ships gain the Illicit upgrade Icon.

Ho ho ha ha..

Chumba wookie nipple pinchy!

He gives your lightweight scyks deadmans that are also THERMAL DETONATORS

it is a condition called "my kind of scum"

I want him to be Palpatine but can only affect dice for illicit cards but I don't think that's going to be true.

We all agree that there is basically a 0% chance of him only taking one crew slot, right?

I'd even give it the same non-zero chance of Fickle rolling an evade that he'll require all three seats.

Whatever it does, I think we can safely assume that a) It's going to cost Palpatine-levels of points, b) It will likely have a big effect on the game, and c) it will almost certainly use up multiple crew slots. I mean...just look at him. Given that the 'Merchant One' title adds a crew slot, perhaps he will use up as many as 3?

nah probably 1 point

Scum crew

3 would be a bit extreme. I'd vote for 2 crew slots. Because even then, he'd still really only be able to fit on the YV-666. (For regular play). So you already have an expensive ship - and maybe you need a micro-swarm in order to capitalize on Jabba's ability, so do you REALLY want to add that extra crew there? You are gonna need all the point you can get just to make him work.

Eat one crew member to turn all eye results into hits or evades this turn

All friendly ships range 1-3 gain Immunity to Jedi Mind Tricks

I like it, but I'd even take it slightly further. You can either put the bounty on a unique pilot, or a ship carrying a unique crew upgrade.

Han Solo isn't going to evade that bounty by hiding on a lowly Lothal Rebel.

One idea: All illicit cards do not get turned over after they are used or broken when he is on the table. Alternatively, flip one back up per turn.

Another: Choose one enemy ship, it cannot attack until Jabba is killed

Wow. Those suck.

The idea of a condition card (like a bounty) sounds great, but there are no Jabba tokens to go with the condition card ...

...and I see no condition cards in the picture.

I think it's funny that it looks like the exact graphic from Destiny. Can't wait to see the first major event where a player who plays both mixes those up lol

It's the same art they used for him in the LCG and Imperial Assault. FFG isn't shy about re-using art assets for multiple games.

I'm sure he'll be pretty good so you will buy this ship you'll never use.

All friendly ships receive 1 Illicit Slot. Place one Illicit token on each friendly Illicit Upgrade. When a friendly ship is instructed to discard its Illicit, discard the token instead. Remove all tokens if this ship is destroyed.

no idea, but thematically he'll take up three crew slots ;)

At the start of the End Phase, place one Credit Token on an enemy ship at range 1-3. When the number of credit tokens exceeds a ship's base hull value, that ship is destroyed.

Scyk might come with a sick pilot

The huge ship might make a beautiful desk ornament
