Does anyone know yet if every ship will still have EVERY original pilot plus new ones? For X-wings I have yet to see or hear about Tarn(totally amazing), Hobbie and Wes but have seen or heard about everyone else, plus a new one in Thane.

Just wondering cause if everyone is staying then that will definitely be keeping me busy with just Rebels.

some pilots have been suspiciously shuffled around (strom now has whatshisface mr. flip-a-crit's ability, and some bloke stole Juno's)

but it seems you'll get the same quantity of pilots, they'll just be different dudes

then you got stuff like Thane in an X and Norra in a Y, but Tarn suspiciously absent

How do we know that?

It seems to me more like it'll be four named pilots per ship. That seems to be the new blister standard.

I also suspect we might only have two pilots for ships that only ever had two like the TIE phantom and will have to wait for their rereleases for the other two.

I don't know, it just "seems". that's the best I can do with the limited info provided

only things for certain are the 2.0 X-wing unboxing + Luke from the coreset.

Standalone 2.0 X-wing only has Wedge, Thane, Garven, Biggs and a gaggle of generics. But we saw Porkins in the team covenant game.

a lot of legacies characters are suspiciously absent. we don't know, however, if they've been replaced with canon stuff or if we're just losing pilot options for ships that had an obscene amount of pilots

I believe Porkins is the other Core Set pilot.

If four per expansion is the case:

T-65 Expansion

1. Wedge

2. Thane

3. Garven

4. Biggs

2.0 Core set

5. Luke

6. Jek(?)

7.?

8.?

...Man i hope there is 5 in the core...

god I hope it's not just porkins in the core

would prefer someone with an ability that wasn't rng god-awfulness

I suspect it will be just Luke and Porkins in the core. And the two generics of course.

Ships that had three pilots in their blisters appear to have six now. Gideon Hask, Del Meeko, Mauler Mithel, Howlrunner and Scourge are confirmed for the Conversion Kit/new TIE blister. Five pilots would be very irregular for FFG given the double sized baseplates.

The big question is will the ships with only two named pilots go up to four or stay at two?
