After the tragedy of K-2SO though, I have no confidence that she will even show up in the game at all. I really do hope to see that Resistance A-Wing in the next few waves.

There is a key difference between Tallie and K-2S0.. We found everything out about Tallie before her inevitable release, whereas K-2S0, was a release that had to be built without any movie knowledge.

Also, I am confident K-2S0 WILL show up in the 2.0 release of the u-wing.. have to sell the new expansion pack somehow.

Yet, there is this thread asking about her. I've yet to see people asking for a Dak “I'm not ready!” Gunner card.

Seven months after the movie came out? How amazing, lol.

Revisit this thread in 2056 and tell me if anybody remembers her. Because that's how long people have been remembering Dak.

Initiative 6, always go 6.

I made a pilot card for her back in the day before we knew about 2.0.

I think it would be great in 2.0 all the same. PS7 to I5 though.

Her ability is a support ability (protecting the bombers), but she has to fly like an ace to make it work.

I mean...

Also, proof T-47 can go into space, when do we get it for X-Wing? :P

Triple tragedy really. Wasn't in the initial expansion, wasn't in Saw's Rebels, wasn't in the Rebel conversion kit. I'm just looking forward to when the U-Wing is rereleased so that we can get K2 and Laren Joma BA U-Wing Support Mama. Also, would just make since to have Bistan be able to be put on the ship he was firing on from Rogue One.

Did anyone happen to catch what Tallie's Pilot Skill Initiative is?

She wasn't spoiled

N/A

I noticed that there was an I5 pilot token on the ship base in the preview picture, but couldn’t make out what it said. Can anyone tell whether or not it says Tallie (/Tallissan) Lintra?

Probably the wrong place to bring it up, but I can't help myself - I want to say how much I hate her little flying scarf.

Well in fairness, should she find herself extravehicular in space, it does get a bit chilly...

I feel like a part of this design choice hinges on if the devs want to limit each faction's "top I6" slot to only one or two pilots/ships.

Of course, there's always room for exceptions. Resistance, as the "all stars" faction, may lean more towards having more top-level pilots.

Thoughts? Hopes and dreams?

She doesn't do anything as cool as Vader, and we aren't told she is close to the best pilot in the Resistance. I am hoping they limit Int 6 to 3 max for each faction.

It's a generic pilot, you can tell from the italicised text.

Even Kylo is I5 only. No chance that anyone new besides Poe has I6. And Han of course, but he‘s not new ;)

The italicized text on the ship base token ? :huh:

Isn’t the Resistance supposed to be the heroic ace faction? Like isn’t that their shtick? I’m still holding out hope, though I suspect she’s the I5 pilot on the ship base in the preview picture.

That doesn‘t necessarily mean they get many I6 - and they already have 2! - but maybe more that they will in tendency have less (mini)swarms? A high amount of 2-3 ship lists could be seen as heroic ace faction.

That I5 token on the base sure reads Tallissan Lintra to me.

Thanks for the hope, I want to believe. I swear I can see the Lintra there as well, and it makes more sense than a generic at what is definitely I5. That's Tallie on the Heroic card too huh? Not exactly disappointed, but I would vote for Paige Tico there instead.

Easier to see, here:

So to answer the original question, she’s an i5 support. But at least her ability is also useable on herself, which is nice. So long as her charge token is recurring, I think she has a shot.

This pretty much nailed it.

I'm actually super happy about this! I can fly her pretty much exactly as I wanted to :D

So I had no idea who this was so I had to look it up. Turns out she has about 10 seconds of screen time, delivers one line of dialog, and then dies in a hanger explosion.

This gives her the title of second best female character in TLJ, right behind Rey. Well done Tallie!

She's also, like, the only pilot besides Poe that appears to survive his unauthorized attack on the Dreadnought in the opening battle, so...
