But yes, as you said, a lot of legends characters are either shuffled around or shot out the airlock, so who knows what will happen. If he were to take Kyle's ability, I think it would be cool if he could 'gain a force charge after relieving a stress'. I think that would be a nice new twist on the old.

That's elegant, too. After all, he's not that strong a force user compared to some others, so having a crew which gives you +1 force tokens, doesn't automatically recharge every turn but recharges after from recovering stress makes him a sort of 'discount jedi' upgrade which specifically encourages you to try stupid ideas (i.e. red moves).

Which kind of fits Kanan very well, really.

I completely agree, it suits his character both in his '66 survivor' personality but also as Ezra's teacher. He was one able to centre Ezra after he lost it, or became anxious etc. so I think it'd be cool if his card reflected that, but also combo'd well with Ezra's card too.

Something like Elusive, Ezra and Kanan is a combo I think I'd have a lot of fun with for example.

New Sabine is cooler than I could have imagined.

She gets an Ion, Jam, Stress, and Tractor token. When a friendly bomb hits an enemy ship, she can move one of those tokens to the enemy.

Tricky, cool, and not unlimited. It's perfect.

Yeah, I really love what they did for her. It perfectly captures the theme of her character, and is much more balanced than just "She deals more damage."

I like new Sabine almost as much as I hated old Sabine.

I'm glad my prediction was correct. New Sabine does not add damage, but it's still a good ability.

New Sabine is a more balanced and more interesting ability. I like it.

I've been wanting an ability like this for a while, it's really interesting.

Good show FFG.

Also notice how thermal detonators are gone... they kinda put that onto her.
