Never, I now lead the army towards the raid at FFG. We shall get the Venator in armada, or.....get...umm....di...no...that wouldnt be good...that wouldnt be good at all. We shall succeed and use you as a sacrifice towards our goal. You were a good leader, but you droped the ball and let the dream die! THE VENATOR MUST CONTINUE TO HAVE SUPPORT

Necromancy?

I never let it die at all, u missunderstood me. my clone wars thread was for specifics about clone wars ships. The lucrehulk topic reminded me of it. I thank you for thinking of me as a leader for #teamvenator, but that would be gottmittuns' post. And if we were to launch a raid, a single sacrifice would be for naught. a well trained squad could get the job done. We are that squad.

There is nothing new under the sun. However, We will will still type page after page of the same thing over and over so that the one new person can read our genius thoughts that FFG will likely never use... ?

Imperial Venators are in the new Thrawn novel, which is canon.

And we saw them in Imperial Color the end of Revenge of the Sith.

So many people state it, no-one grabs a picture to show it...

Someone posted it somewhere. I've just seen that exact picture posted re imp venators in the last few days.

To be fair, it can't be that exact picture (perhaps one very similar), as this was a Fresh Screenshot I took seconds before uploading it directly here :D

#TechnicallyCorrect


EDIT:


Yep, I see it now. I hadn't seen it because it wasn't a displayed picture, just a link...

... I don't know how they got that shot though, seems editied somewhere, since the V-Wings are in the frame the whole time on the actual Revenge of the Sith Movie...

Interesting.

But I dismiss my "sarcastic angst" at the start. Someone did indeed Show it first, and I was late to the party! \:D

Your right, very subtle differences

I think I can be forgiven for confusing the two...

Edited by Forgottenlore

Oh, indeed, completley forgiven :D

I'll have to double check to see if there's any spacing where V-Wings are not visible at all... Because I didn't think there was in my playthrough-review to take the screenshot, or wether I will simply decry it as a Photoshop! :D

Edited by Drasnighta

Ok someone needs to Photoshop that and add some Tie Fighters surrounding it, and then photoshop it again, add a red paintjob, and add X-Wings flying in formation with it.

DO IT NOW TALENTED PHOTOSHOPPERS!

I think I can just barely make out a blur lower down beneath the central Venator that could be the 2 lower V-Wings. Perhaps the pic was taken at an earlier frame where the Vs are lower down in the shot and the quality of the photo prevents one from seeing the other three?

It is the last frame of the scene.

Looking at that shot, the V-Wigns that approached the camera are off the left side of the screen, but the ones approaching the Venator are there....

... The tiny little grey irregular dots along the Grey/Black line of the Venator Hull are those 3 V-Wings. The shot exists for I/16th of a second before it cuts to the Bridge View.

So, no Photoshop. A Kudos to the person who found and cut that scene. I'm really struggling to get it (I still get V-Wing Blur on the left side)

What about the Venator's little brothers, the Acclamator assault ships? they don't look like Jar Jar.

They told me I had to paint 10 tie fighter squadrons to get in but never said I was cannon fodder. So tie fighter painting helps you level up faster I think.

I can't either but they didn't say they had to be painted well?

I've always liked Venators, but I'd really like an Acclamator! Maybe it's just nostalgia for the old Republic Commando game, but Acclamators are one of my favorites.

Hey, I was thinking, but wasnt there a episode of Star Wars Rebels where the one of the crew members stumbled upon an "abandoned" venator, where some guy who was trying to escape the Empire because he betrayed them when he stole a bunch of treasures. Isnt that enough to pop it fully into cannon and be added to the game?

Not Rebels , no.

But let me already state;

THEY ARE ALREADY FULLY CANON BY APPEARING IN THE CLONE WARS .

This isn't a question of Canonicity - They are CANON.

Its just wether they fit the timeframe , and that is the questionable part at the moment, as they have not been shown in use since the very end of the Clone Wars - which was, of course, almost 20 years before the youngest components of Star-Wars Armada (in star Wars geological terms), being the Rebels upgrades and commanders we have.

I don't recall that episode but idk

The new canon INCLUDE all of the MOVIES. Which mean the Revenge of the Sith is CANON. <_<
