Hopefully Corran is an X-Wing pilot in the new core set.

Nope, he's on the E-wing again. If there's an X-wing version AFAIK it hasn't been revealed yet.

Personally, I think the ships should JUST be ships, with the pilots as separate cards.

Why is the best pilot in Rogue Squadron only a 5 and why doesn't he have Force powers???? Oh and once again a beat up freighter is as maneuverable as a Fighter!!! Falcon/Y wing... but yeah the Corran thing bugs me..lol

Because technically he doesn't even exist Anymore?

If Corran were to get Force stat, so would Maarek Stele and Keyan Farlander (if he's back in at some point).
In the end, in the old EU books, everyone and his dog got to train with Luke and lots of people would get a Force stat in this game.
So I think it's quite okay that some characters are represented at launch before they got to traing their Force abilities. There is always a chance that the will come out at a later point with a different subtitle, with Force stat.

I'm betting probably no more than 2 per faction a priori.

So, Rebels get Wedge and Fenn, Scum get Fenn and Dengar, Imperials get Vader and Fel. Resistance get Poe and FO get Kylo because they're smaller and need room to grow.

You seem to be forgetting someone.

I know he is in the E-Wing. He might also be one of the X-Wing pilots in the core set too, as they are unrevealed. The same pilot has been in multiple ships before.

It's the mouse, he's about the movie cannon, that reaches the masses and makes lots of jack; the mouse really cares very little about the minor stuff like books, comics, video games, etc. Yeah, we get the E-wing, Defenders, Gunboats, etc. It's easy to understand and creates a pointless theme in yelling into the void about obscure powers and abilities of obscure characters (when I say obscure, I mean not in the movies) As usual, if you want to wonder why a business does something, always "follow the money guys, follow the money."

Agreed to an extent. Rather than initiative I'd like to see pilots have competency ratings for several ships.

I.E. Wedge a 6 in an X-Wing, and then a 4 or 5 in a few others.

And Dash a 6 in everything, because that man can fly anything. Even a snowspeeder without needing a gunner.

I agree with you only if Maarek Stele and Soontir Fel were in the Gunboat at 5 and 6 respectively.

But Dash as a 6? No, I think they got it best as he is a 5.

Well obviously Maarek would be a 5 in literally every Imperial fighter.

And I only say 6 for Dash as he's every bit as good a pilot as Han. I'm happy to have Han drop to a 5 though.

And to add some humor, let's make Chewbacca a 6.

Totally agree. Even Corran's subtitle, "something" Detective, gets at this very point. (Sorry, can't find a card image in my phone at the moment).

But he should have had a Force Rating.

uh

initiative 5 is extremely good

Cause the few that read those books read them two decades ago. iJedi sounds like an attachment for an iWatch.

Seriously, we all know it was Chewbacca and not Han who flew through an asteroid field.

And an Ewing with force is extremely broken

Yeah i am Old and am guessing the FFG crew is NOT!!!!

Eh, I'm skeptical. First, if they do include rebel Fenn at I6, they'll definitely have 3 because Han is a thing. I would really much rather they didn't because we don't need high initiative coordinate and the ubiquity of sheathipedes in 1.0 is just plain wrong. Actually, now I am remembering that the devs mentioned Rau gets a "Reluctant Rebel" subtitle. Oh well. Hopefully they still dial him back to a 5 or so.

Second, I know it's super duper unlikely given that we've seen one of her cards already, but I REALLY want Hera to be I6, if only to have another true Rebel Ace in the game that actually flies a fighter. The way I justify this? We've seen Hera at I5, but that was as Spectre 2. But perhaps as Phoenix Leader we might possibly see her higher. Also Dave Filoni said he thinks she's better than Poe, so there's that. Also, SHE TAUGHT WEDGE EVERYTHING HE KNOWS.

Maybe I really just want there to be a female I6 because there currently isn't, I don't know.
