Hello! I am sure we will eventually see Slave 1 under Jango Fett as an expansion with the inclusion of the clone wars. How do you think they will make it stand out when compared to the OT Slave 1?

I'm thinking pilots will be Jango Fett, Boba, Sing, and maybe Hondo. I think a new title would include the option to add another crew slot as it was constantly holding additional crew during the clone wars (Bossk, Sing, Boba).

What are your ideas? What would you like to see in this expansion?

1. Why do you assume Jango is coming?
2. Why do you assume he won't already be Scum when he arrives, thus not needing an original title for Slave I?

I really do not see a new Firespray being packaged and sold, sorry. I'm not sure how they would make a Jango pilot available with their current marketing strategies, but things can change. Crew? Yeah, sure, not a problem. Pilots are issues at the moment.

Well FFG does card packs for their RPG games and other systems.

I can in all honesty see new pilots and old pilots with different ability/action bar/stat-lines being a thing.

Like with Kylo Ren; Tormented Apprentice in the Silencer

All they need to do is put out a Kylo in the Silencer, change something on his card and call it : Kylo Red; new card title

Card packs give the Devs a alrge amount of freedom to input new pilots and other cards into the game. i'm pretty sure we'll at least see supplement packs with new pilots of old ships at some point.

They have released 3 different versions of the Falcon. I guarantee you that they’ll release Jango Fett’s Slave 1 at some point. As far as differentiating it from Boba’s, Jango might be Separatist or perhaps Scum/Separatist- in fact, that seems likely as it is an easy and obvious way to boost the Separatist’s ship count.

This I see. Heck, Anakin is already in two different Republic ships. Sabine is everywhere. No question.

This is a solution, not without it's own problems, but so far they've not taken this step. See my below statement:

They didn't release three Falcons for the same faction. Jango is definitely a hired gun, not a Separatist himself. The Separatist fleet has a pretty extensive toy collection... er... ship selection in the Clone Wars. They're not going to be hurting for choices in the near future. Sure, if FFG runs out of choices, they may create a Separatist Firespray, but not for a very long time. There are much more plausible choices to look at.

Thanks for your thoughts! These are valid points. I guess my assumption is more a hope. I personally wouldn't mind another release. I assumed FFG would do another slave 1 due to the fact it has quite the history in the clone wars, it would be a cool repaint, and an opportunity to include additional clone wars characters. I also assumed he would be part of the sepratist faction to give it some more flesh and blood options. At the end of the day, I'll be happy with what ever happens!

Sorry to come right out as being negative in immediate response. I think rephrased I probably would have just hit like and wandered off. I like the idea of Jango being added, but - and forgive me if I'm wrong, it's been a long while since I could watch EpII - I believe Jango pretty much says he's working for the money.

There are a lot of bounty hunter/scum characters that I find interesting from that era, and even the classic OT era, that I'd like to see added to the game. I'm not a major Scum player, but Jango Fett, Aura Sing, Hondo, and the likes of Dr Aphra would be very much be welcomed into the fold, even if only crew cards! Jango makes sense as a pilot, too.

Well lets start with compairing the 2 ships.

In the lore it said that the only thing left in the Slave 1 after bobba rebuildt it was the Chair.

So with that in mind, i think we can see a diffrent weapon loadout, Perhaps some more effective means to use devices.

My guess is that Jangos Slave 1 will have a bit more Weapon hardpoints and use a diffrent dial perhaps? Who knows. But just take a look at the star wars ships ilustraded, And compare Jangos slave 1 to Bobas , they arent even the same ship anymore.

I expect it as a CIS ship. and that it will come sooner rather than later.

kid boba vs kid anakin would be fun though.

I completely agree, I cannot see FFG not capitalizing on the ability to have Jango as a pilot, kid Boba crew and a repainted model. It could also introduce Zam Wessel as crew if they wanted. I think Wave 5 is a possibility.

I don't see any chance of it being separatist, not since Boba was removed from Empire. I do, however, think it's extremely likely we'll get a Jango's Slave 1 for Scum, with pilots and crew from TCW. No idea about the difference between it and Boba's version though. We don't see it in combat much in TCW do we? We see it shooting Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones, where it looks nimble and to have a powerful cannon, which sounds a lot like the Slave 1 we already have.

Kid Boba vs a bunch of other Clone kids!

Interesting since Marauder (Kath Scarlet's Firespray) had added crew capacity and grapples (for hooking to other ships) which aren't reflected in the game... Krassis doesn't get his IFF shenanigans (which would make for some interesting setup options) either. If Jango shows up in games, he'll be Scum and the current Slave 1 title at least fits what he was able to do with the ship.

I would be really surprised if a repainted Jango Slave 1 was not released for the Seperatists. That faction is not covered by the conversion Kits, or excisted during 1.0. So FFG don't "Owe" The player base the pilots. That said, I personally think Jango and all the other Clone Wars bounty hunters should be released for Scum. Seperatists could get a crew that allows them to buy certain Scum bounty hunters, like how 000 and Maul are crossing factions.

Not sure about Jango as a Separatist ship. Yeah he worked for the Separatists (and the Republic, technically), but Boba worked for the Empire once, and they don't get him in the game. As a scum pilot? Yeah, I can see that happening, if the ship has different stats, it can easily be a stand alone expansion. If it doesn't, FFG already has a history of releasing the same ship twice, in both 1.0 and 2.0, using squadron packs... So the only question would be, what scum ship would they pair it with?

He dies in combat fighting the Jedi on behalf of the separatists. As far as this game is concerned, he's a seperatist.

Nuance. He died as a mercenary currently employed by the Separatists.

Anyway, what I believe will happen has little impact on what FFG does.

So if Boba had died in ESB when tracking the Falcon, he would then be an imperial?

This, FFG just can't help themselves.

Jango was Dooku's contracted bodyguard when he died, he fought the Jedi because that is what his contract required. He had no loyalty to the non existent/barely nascent at the time Separatist Alliance. His loyalty was to his contract. He's Scum.

I don't doubt we'll get Jango's Slave I, I just doubt it'll be anything but Scum. Make it a repaint in a Squadron pack with some new pilots (and maybe new upgrades) and there you have it.

I could see Jango being Separatist, but... Not any other pilots they might release with him. So I'd think they'll lean Scum for him. The only other option would be a Nym situation, but they've undone that in 2.0, so I wouldn't expect it.

That said, I think we could definitely see a Jango scum expac at some point, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jango has "may be used in Separatist squadrons" text on him, like Maul/BT/000 do. I don't know that I'd expect any requirements, as he's not working specifically with one person or anything.

I guess what I'm saying is we won't see a full expac with a Separatist Firespray, and we won't see a single Separatist pilot card in the scum expac. But he might be able to fly Separatist still.

Edit:

I guess maybe he could have to have Dooku there, if this is the case? I wasn't aware of that specific contract.

There's a lot of niche ships which would be kind of awkward for general release. I'll say again: a cool middle ground would be specialized quick builds.

Only hard thing is the token. Shuttle Tyderium is the best example. Han Solo flying a Lambda is the kind of thing which probably shouldn't really in the standard game, but a special card and token are all you'd need, and folks could play a lot of their favorite ships. In some format, at least.

I can see this for a crew version of Jango requiring Dooku be in the list as well, or at worst requiring he be equipped to Dooku's ship.
