Am I the only one heart broken about this? Big box, small box, chronological through first trilogy, should be Endor. But no? Speeder bikes alone would have been cool!

I think we'll see Endor in some fashion or another soon. Speeder bikes, though, I doubt would work on maps this size. You'll have to look at the game [redacted] for that. :-)

I'm actually glad they didn't keep the progression on auto pilot. I think they're a good chance they'll do something endor in the future. But what Heart of the Empire proves is they have other ideas for this game than "just" get through the three movies and kill it off.

I think there'd be even more doomsday prophets out there if we'd had an endor box announced back in May instead of HotE. Just saying

Agreed. Keeps us on our toes.

I actually really liked that about Jabba's Realm, too. I remember a lot of people thought that 2016's big box was going to be Endor, and maybe the Jabba stuff would be a later small box (not unlike the Cantina and Dune Sea stuff being relegated to the small box for Twin Shadows). I like the element of surprise there.

And awales, my guess is we won't get an "Endor only" box ever, unless maybe if it's a small box. Even Heart of the Empire is going to feature other urban planets.

I think that if we ever get a box with Endor in it, we'll see other forresty planets (like Takodana) beach planets (like Scarif) and planets that could combine both tiles (Kashyyyk). But that's just my crackpot theory.

I think they are waiting on Disney to approve the giant gorax.

Command Card for Speeder bike could be fun. Increase speed by 2 for the rest of the game for 2-3 points? Non-unique small figure only? Giving Luke and IG more movement just doesn't sound like a good idea haha.

+1 for a Kashyyk box. This game needs more Wookies

I still think a small box with tiles dor Endor and Dagobah box is the most likely thing after the app.

Make the card trooper only. Simples

Yoda! Not sure if Dagobah can merit its own box unless you dip into Clone Wars TV stuff w/ force stuff- what other characters could it have?. I expect Yoda as part of a mini wave between boxes w/in a year or so. maybe abilities like moving stuff ( even objectives- like ie Lukes X-Wing), absorb 1 damage from range attacks vs Yoda and adjacent figs (tutemenis or whatever its called), and some amazin flips!!

The first image that comes to mind is Terro riding a dewback riding a speeder bike.

I think originally Endor was planned as a small box but when they saw the sales reports they realized that the small boxes are not as popular as big boxes. So they decided swapping the two ideas and release the HotE first. I expected a big box Endor for the next time.

I expect an Endor-box (large) is definitelly in the making, but I also expect that Aftermath/Inferno Sqauad (i.e. Battlefront II running With Endor & post-Endor stuff) has contributed to to FFG focusing on other theatres for now. I'm certain that if ImpAss continues (which I hope it will despite Legion covering some of its ground), we will see an Endor expansion eventually with Inferno Squad or similar SpecForces among the Imps.

Also Sentry Droid on a speeder bike performing Multi-Fire while flying past the rebels. Or the E-Web Engineer balancing the tripod.

In "the other game", speeder bikes cannot stand still, they always have to move. So, I would think something like that would be an appropriate restriction/drawback.

What's the other game?

endor doesn't give us anything we need or want really game wise. Who needs ewoks? We've already got scout troopers from Bespin and the eWeb. Not to mention tons of forest terrain already. You could make your own endor maps already. There are too many other locations r settings that would be preferred. Frankly, more star destroyer or Death Star other bases would be better than another small forest moon location

Legion = the other game

I need Ewoks.

Bespin doesn't have Scouts.

What scouts are you talking about?

Scouts = Alliance Rangers?

(Edit: ... going back to read the source... ah, Scout Troopers .)

Might be talking about Blaise. He has a scout trooper helmet.

i would still prefer an independent scout trooper to serve as imperial snipers.

Speeder bikes can definitely hover, that's how we first see them...

But even if we wanted them all to move, an ability like this could help.

5 Speed

+3 movement points

Momentum: By the end of your activation, you must be at least 5 spaces from where you began your activation. If you are not, take two damage.

I get that people don't want to see the Ewok village tiles. It doesn't really turn my crank either. But I wouldn't mind some more forest tiles. We've done Hoth. We've got plenty of desert tiles and now with Bespin and HotE, we're good for interior/urban tiles. Expanding forests to include swamps (Dagobah) or jungles (Kashyyk) is pretty much the only place left for the Core Box to expand if you keep drawing from the OT era.

I'd love to see speeder bikes, but I think having them take up two tiles would look weird and not to scale. Three might work, but I wonder if that would create movement issues with the rule that figures have to occupy half of the spaces they were in previously if they want to change orientation.

Then again, they're called speeder bikes. Not big slow lumbering bikes. I guess they could be exempt from that rule.

I like that in theory, but would prefer a positive effect to a negative.

Moving Target: Each time you perform a move, obtain 1 (evade) power token.

Seeing how the expansions were following the original trilogy I "promised" my 8-year-old daughter there would be ewoks in the game at one point.

Help me FFG, you're my only hope ...

You better start to learn how to made custom figures.
