Defenders almost made me quit playing this game as soon as I started in 1st Ed.

Wasn't this one of the problems in 1e - pilots being unkillable? Why would FFG want to venture into this territory again?

Especially when playing with a time limit, Vader in a Defender would be untouchable.

Please no.

I never heard of that character b4 but skimming through a wiki on him has me a little annoyed at the silly logic behind him being resurrected by the force twice...

Despite his(in my opinion) bad writing, a deeper search reveals he shows up on screen in Rogue One AND Solo.

Heres his ship from the comic, it seems similar to a Firespray, and has a shuttle attached.

The writing is unbelievable cheesy, almost back to the subterrean levels of some of the old EU content. I'd rather have BoShek.

Unfortunately not much not known about his ships.

I am also of the opinion that FFG made a miss with the Findsman in the G1A being not Firce sensitive. Would have been pretty cool with a Force user on that mediocre ship.

Those worried about Darth Vader in a Defender.

If he goes there, I think one of two things happens: His pilot ability changes, or the ship ability changes. I find it hard to believe they'd be able to release him on that chassis with the abilities as-is.

I think I would prefer that his pilot ability changes. Maybe to something like his crew ability but somehow different.

EDIT: We also have precedent for having more than one ship ability on the same chassis: Escape pod.

Not Every Force User was a pilot. But I am sure we will get more pilots and upgrades involving the force mechanic. Keep in mind that there were many of the factions that suppressed force users. The Sith controlled Empire was intent on eliminating the last of the jedi and brought many non-jedi force users (the Sith are considered as fallen Jedi) under their control.

I wonder if they could balance Vader in a Defender somehow. He'd be near unkillable, but maybe so expensive you'd have to play extremely aggressively to get much out of him?

They should release it as an event exclusive promo...
