A place a token on the printed list or my opponent is using an A and B token or using the card as token. Or I look at the image of the card and compare it to the image of the card on the printed list. ;-)

With my eyes reading the text from across the table is not working, seeing the images still works for me.

You shouldn't have to keep track yourself of something related to your oponent's list. That's what I call a clunky mechanic.

In our group, we made custom tokens for dual cards (especially usefun for the U-wing, when you can't open/close wings because of nearby ships)

Yes, I do have a problem with dual card, I find it clunky, even with the different artworks.

As I said in the beginning: Ok, but that's on you. I don't know anyone else who has a problem with it, so your opinion frankly does not matter.

"Rebels" is a show for 6-yo. Making it a knowledge bas for the universe makes no sense.

I guess Thrawn is not a part of Starwars anymore in that case? Or Defenders? Or you know, the fact that the Ghost, Hera and Chopper were part of Rogue One.

Star Wars is a pulp story.

Yeah, it is. But keeping an "outside canon" folder for comic books, video games and TV shows had sense in the old canon; too bad they didn't keep that idea.

That's why we use intensity as a token in our games. Works like a charm. Not clunky at all. And smaller than even placing dials besides your ship.

Fortunately, you don't get to decide canon.

Old canon is definitely Star Wars, no matter what. Disney doesn't get to erase it from our memories.
That doesn't mean you should choose between the two , I can enjoy whatever's good in new canon (so far, only Rogue One, ok...).

Canon is a thing for Disney to keep track of the works related to the SW series, and avoid big problems between works, that's all. That doesn't dictate what I do or don't like.

You are getting off-topic and proking a rant how only 8 minutes of that movie was worth watching ... if it would have been a continuous scene. (The space battle). But I had my rant today already. So I shut up now about Rogue One.

Oo

That's not how canon works. That's not what canon means.

Actually, that is exactly how it works. See how many times the Abrahamic religions have divided themselves over arguments over their bible canon or if they actually want to accept the bible, torah or koran as base.
Disney as IP owner are the ones who can dictate the official canon, but not what star wars means for the starwars fandom. That is up to decide for each follower of the faith (scnr). ;-)

If The Last Jedi has not yet been removed from canon, xwings are shown there clearly flapping their wings in the scene where Leia is realizing how many pilots they are losing against the dreadnought.

I'm gonna be of really bad faith on this one, and say the title doesn't apply on T70s ^^

That has its own name; you're talking about Fanon

Yes and no. Consider something that is a little bit older than anything that Disney could still OWN it. Like for example … Snow White and the Seven Draws and other older fairy tales. There are some different canons from different people. The Grimms were not the only ones who build their own.

Fanon seems still like a better term for modern fandom, because puns and wordplay are so important today. ;-)

Anyway, it's gonna be like this now :

I'm still hoping for Red Sq. Y-wing. (and a Green Sq. T-65)

The case of s-foils not being able to shoot looks like a case of the " Word of Dante ": we all think it's true because of a non-canon source.

But Rebels is clearly officially canonized, so the shooting with closed s-foils is now, too. That means we're all wrong about our experience of Rogue Squadron and other games.

Oh boy, how do you handle discarded ordnance that's about to be reloaded? Or Intensity? If those are clunky, what about conditions?

In all fairness, conditions are clunky. Reload is really a non issue, and Intensity, while I wouldn’t call clunky, is not a simple card.

I would have much preferred another route for the title (I also am not a fan of the s-foils dual card being a thing), but I’m willing to accept I’m in the minority.

But goodness does it irk me to have all these million and one players who made the same custom card idea over and over talking about how “right” they were and how they “called it”.

So maybe I’m just being indignant is all. Why, who knows.

"Rebels is for children"

And the rest of star wars isn't? Lets be real here this forum is mostly grown *** adults playing with little toy ships from kids movies. Half the time making pew noises. Try not to be too serious.

That was my point: conditions are more clunky, dual cards are less clunky. Whether they qualify as clunky or not is opinion and up to everyone themselves.

Can I say it? 11 months ago: one side gives tallon rolls, the other boost+green maneuvers. What do I get and where's the line? Nothing?

I’m considering staring a thread titled “I called it, s-foils on xwings” to have everyone post their custom s-foil card so everyone can see how “original” they really were.

for the record, this expac has nothing to do with scarif. Its saw's peeps.

Heroes of Scarif is totally still possible.

I'd take it. I will not be truly happy until I can see alt-art Antoc Merrick grinning up at me from my ship cards, officially.

Antoc Merrick, PS7, after you execute a manoeuvre, a friendly ship at range 1-2 may perform a free boost or barrel roll action, even if it is stressed. 26 points.

Yeah.

You only make the pew noise half of the time?

X-wings lock their S-foils in combat. That's a fact from the movie.

No, that's a reminder from the command deck.

Kinda like when the seatbelt sign is on for turbulence but then everyone gets up to take a piss.
