They're going hard and deep on canon and I love it.

Design for a lot of the cards were probably finalized before some of the names were available. Explains some of them at least.
Well, Joph didn't exist yet, but other than that... Beats me.

A lot of these pilots are blink-and-you-miss-them characters, with no particular defining characteristic.
Replacing the name block on a card is pretty trivial ....

They still have to get it approved by the mouse and do all the things to make sure printing is correct. It's not that trivial.
Did you manage to catch any of their abilities?
Also, it looks like Tallie's grinning face made it onto one of the upgrade cards

I put down what I could figure out in the inflight report thread.
I love it. So much better than "Blue Ace" and whatnot.

Yea, the upgrade is Heroic and the FO has one called Fanatical, the two are likely the faction specific talents.
By the way, Fanatical makes it so that when you perform a primary attack and are unshielded you may change (1?) of your focus results to a hit result.

Unless you bought the game because it was Star Wars.
Then Red Ace Guy in Movie is pretty lame.

You mean like C2-B5 who was advertised in material for Rogue One and wasn't shown on screen at all?
@DarkArk why do you cry at my picture of the most beautiful pilot in the Resistance?

Maybe because she is cadaverific?

She lives on in our hearts

This. She should have lived. Probably the only new Resistance person I gave a **** about in TLJ: and she's just gone.

And in little pieces over there, and over there....and over there.

I'd love to see pictures of the new models and everything.

Some stuff is floating around but these are from FFG's twitter.
Tie/FO looks the same model wise. T-70s have opening and closing wings, can take 1 cannon, torpedo, or missile thanks to their ship ability, and Poe has PTL as his ability. A-Wing Mk2 has a mobile firing arc that can be set to either its front or rear arc. And the Mining Guild Tie ignores obstacles during movement.

Pretty sure the MGTIE just ignores asteroids specifically, not debris clouds or any other type of obstacle that gets introduced further down the line.
Man that T-70 looks pretty... too bad FFG has nixed any repaints (for now). I'd love to get a flappy T-70 in Poe's colors and my painting skills are NOT up for that task.

Just before K-2 takes down the other K-series droid to get a map of Scarif, you see C2-B5 rolling towards our heroes in the hallway.

It's trivial until the carsd are sent for printing. Then it's essentially impossible.
