Then don't buy them if they're released, laugh at the people fielding them across the table from you and blast them of the table with your chosen units.

No matter how much you hate them, they're not going away. They're part of the Star Wars universe just like Gungans. So instead of focusing on your dislike, think about how great it will be to try and destroy the cuddly little loveable fuzzballs (if it even happens). ?

They would be ridiculous in the game.

Yes.

Ridiculously easy to kill.

Easy points.

The more hate talk the more I want them!!! Must be the Force balancing things out.

Ewoks Wave 3!!! ???

I personally DO want Ewoks, if only to see how FFG balances them.

The other reason is proving stormtroopers CAN actually hit the b***ards.

Ha! They'll probably have built in Hard Cover and Nimble. ?

That's when we send in Vader and the 501st...

Star Wars has always been a ***** mix of samurai flick, Battle for Midway and kitten video. So why not Ewoks.

I don't want to have them spend 4-6 months developing a unit I won't play though. I understand why people want them. It would be fun the first few times, but it gets old fast.

Can this forum not turn into the xwing one which is just never ending nerf this, buff that, release this.

Hopefully Xwing players stick to Xwing! They ruin everything!

I need the Ewoks so I can make the Imperials shed tears of terror. Bring 'em on!

My fear for something like ewoks is that they will introduce some aspect of gameplay that cannot be found elsewhere and that every rebel force will have an ewok contingent to stay competitive... While a themed endor force with a few ewoks is not completely unpalatable, seeing forces composed of fleet troopers, t 47s and ewoks... Just no... It's going to make the game look laughable and does not lend itself to growing the player base... 5 years down the line when we have rogue one, scum faction, rebels units and a new sequel trilogy core set, sure, release ewoks as a joke.

Are you implying that the fierce and deadly Ewoks are some kind of joke?

Makes sense, that or the ability to simply pop out onto the board anywhere there is cover, emulating their incredible ambush abilities.

How is the idea of organized ambushing bears not utterly terrifying in its own right?

These aren’t cuddly stuffed animals, they are carnivorous hunters. They were even going to eat our heroes!

I personally want to avoid something crazy like Ugnaught spam in IA.

I would say as long as the Ewoks are only in the support or specialist roles, then it’s fine. The spam is minimal.

same for gungans, wookies, or any other niche.

Or all Hobbit armies in the Lord of the rings sbg.

<Sarcasm> Clearly they are modeled after the most ferocious of Australian predators: the drop bear!</sarcasm>

I think its fairly (I think) safe to assume Ewoks will not be released anytime soon. The people that would love them unfortunately to do not outweigh the rather vocal people who would rage over it and make bad press.

Yeah that's a good concern, when peoples armies start to look like some kind of bad fan fiction. I'm not convinced there will ever be a scum faction though...at least not for a couple years.

I don't know... That would mean leaving out some serious fan favorites. Boba Fett could be added to the imperial forces but a crime syndicate makes more sense.
