Saw's Renegades and TIE Reaper, right? I hoped for a Scum to be added, but it looks like FFG is making smaller waves now.

We still don‘t know that for sure. If they really were to remain silent about a Solo ship then they would hopefully not be stupid enough to put it on their „printing“ page.

April 20th is the big reveal day for Solo merchandise, so it's not surprising we haven't heard anything yet.

need that tie with the cannon

Maybe they've learned their lesson to put stuff out AFTER the movie it is in releases.

Seriously though, I’m pretty stoked to see what this wave has to offer and I’m hoping a scum ship is also revealed.

Seriously? Wow they're cutting that fine.

Possible they may just say the solo stuff is wave 15 at this point.
Which is bound to be like 2-3 scum ships and a conjoined twins TIE.

My hope is that get have been allowed to not force out the solo stuff in time for the movie and it will indeed come out as the next wave in septemberish

I would agree. Would rather wait a few months and have accurate fluff (like K2SO crew) than be missing something critical to what the ship was in the movie.

Yea, thats what we wish they'd do so we dont get the insanely movie-innaccurate messes like the res bomber was or although still great not accurate at all strikers.

Sadly thats not how that crap works. The mouse says do it, so they do it. Wouldnt be as bad if they would also provide FFG with proper freakin' information on the ship other than the visuals.

A reminder that the only indication we've ever truly had of the TIE Striker having two crewmen and a bomb chute was a cutaway.

True, but it just doesn't make sense for it to be a single pilot if there's two entry hatches on top. Also Disney keeps saying that everything that comes out under their brand license is the new canon (with the exception of things like Lego Star Wars).

I think the next Imperial Aces type pack could use a Striker with a new Modification called 'heavy frame' that adds a crew or a bomb slot. Basically you can trade in your LWF bonus to make a low PS striker into a pseudo-slamming precision bomb dropper or a high PS striker like Dutchess into a surgical reveal bomb dropper.

There was some pre-release it could be used as a sub-orbital cargo/passenger handler as well, but the exact nature of the elongated cockpit wasn't until the cross-section, yes.

X-Wing? I vaguely recall something by that name.

Anywho, have you heard of this new game called Legion. . .

How was the bomber not accurate to the movie? Slow and filled with bombs? Check.

The striker and PS 8 Poe are actual examples of this.

Strikers are "Movie" accurate tbh

C'mon, TIE Reapers! Get them rolling in!

Yeah they didn’t get much screen time and they don’t get much table time, perfectly accurate

That's not how their license is structured. FFG determines what/when to release ships. While LFL/Disney does have approval rights to the design of the ships and content, they could care less if FFG even releases anything tied to the movies. Their contribution to the merchandise tidal wave is a tiny drop by comparison. FFG determines the mechanics and structures of the releases (albeit with whatever specs Disney is willing to provide at a given time).

This. ^ I don't know where this forum came up with this insane 'the Mouse makes them do it; Disney evil, FFG good' notion. FFG is timing their releases for maximum sales, rather than maximum accuracy. This is basic stuff.

My fellow Kommander is on point.

The Striker is misrepresented, (though, probably it's not FFG's fault) and should be corrected.

Although, I'm not sure what would we get from the Striker and any 1 bomb, even if it had a crew slot to go along with it (Unless we get a Imperial Bomb Crew á la Sabine).

And it definitely shouldn't have two bombs. I can't live in a world where the Striker is a better bomber than... well the Bomber.

Imperials need a bomb crew so badly. I don't know who it would be though. Maybe Pryce? She commanded bombers in that one Rebels episode on geonosis
