Or releasing it with Sabine pilot as captured, rebel only craft
Star Wars Celebration speculation
Is it bad that I am excited and nervous for any X-Wing announcements at the celebration? I will be checking the forums at least three times a day all weekend for some hopefully good news.

Bahahaha nice
I just hope it is before Mark Hamill's panel Fri night. If the Carrie tributes this morning was any example, Mark's panel is going to absolutely destroy me.
So I doubt there will be anything shown for X-Wing since there is no room on the display shelf for anything else Star Wars related. Possibly some new Imperial Assault stuff since there's a slight space on the top shelf of that one... but just slight.
One thing I DO know.... is I got to meet Andi Gutierrez before they let everyone in!
Lucky bastard.
We don't really believe that Wave 11 is going to only be three small ships, do we? I'm betting they held something back for this week. Maybe Ezra's new ride?

The only time I can remember they adding to a wave was for movie tie ins. While I wouldn't be surprised by a form of Aces pack, I do think wave 11 is just those three ships.
Though I am expecting the Gauntlet at some point. Whether Ezra is flying it is another matter.
Wave 10 was 3 ships, then 2 added three months later for Rogue One. I'm guessing Wave 11 will be these 3 ships, then 2 added three months later (Jan 2018?) from Episode 8.
Don't forget wave 5 was only TWO ships. TWO!!!
Father and son FTW!

I'm guessing the Gauntlet will be a dual-faction ship with Ezra and maybe Sabine (she gets to fly everything else
) as Rebel pilots, and Maul and Pre Vizsla as Scum pilots.

Nah. It'll just move to complaints that the stats are wrong....

Sure, but two large ships at a total MSRP of $70. Wave 11's three ships are likely to come in at about $55. We've been seeing waves getting progressively larger and more expensive for awhile now. I'd personally be okay with a smaller wave, but I feel like something else is going to be announced to round it up.
Was there anything interesting that came out of Celebrations so far? All I know is:
- web animation for female focused short stories. Seems cool.
- ....people post a link to an article that says there is a new teaser for Ep 8, but it's just an article that links to other articles and I see no teaser.
Not really. Yesterday wasn't big in terms of news. Today and Sat are the really big ones.

Possibly, but there is also Gar Saxon who used Kom'rk fighters too, and served under Maul on the Nightbrother, who could be an Imperial pilot. So, it all comes down to how much FFG wants to spread the Kom'rk around.

The teaser is in the panel today starting at 11AM EST, so 8 minutes from this post. They're livestreaming the panel at youtube.com/starwars. FFG also has their panel at some point today if I'm not mistaken.

Edited by OtaconEpisode 8 Panel at Celbration live now!
Considering the DVD dropped earlier this month I would hope for a Rouge One tie in that shows love for the rebel t-65 X-wing and Y-Wing. Who knows, maybe we'll even get a TIE reaper expansion, wouldn't be distraught if we didn't tho. I would like to see improvements in the form of pilots and upgrades to the OG rebel ships more than a new imperial shuttle.

I'd be all in for having a tri-faction ship.
FFG just tweeted that their panel isn't until 6PM EST today, so 5 hours of waiting before anything new, if we get any X-wing at all.
I keep hearing a lot about Rouge One in this forum, is that the new make up line inspired Star Wars movie?

Same, thought it does make balancing it a little more tricky.
Half paying attention, while talking to Galaxy of Heroes - host made a point that Fantasy Flight gets to make/build characters. Just caught my attention.
