With the Y-Wing overshadowing Barriss Offee on her card, is it safe to say that the Republic will get Y-Wings in Wave 5?

It is almost a certainty that we will get the Republic Y Wing in the future sooner rather then later

R4-P Astromech is going to be the Jedi's get out of jail free card. A single stress token isn't too bad when you can just "lol 5 straight blue, boost + evade". Right now, Anakin with Calibrated Laser Targeting, R4-P, and Supernatural looks like he is going to be a monster right out of the gate. Now it's just a question of what you can bring with him.

I'm gonna need to paint one of my Delta's like this.

The dials aren't as good as I thought they would be, so they should hold back the ship from being overpowered a bit.

As soon as Wave 3 comes out I'll be able to update my alternative format.

You can pop on an R4 Astromech for not many points to notably improve it though. 🙂

Hmm. Anakin’s ability is interesting. Not what I expected. But it does synergize with the calibrated laser targeting, which i’m pretty jazzed for.

Looks like the R4 Astro will be a decent option on the Aethersprite. Adding green one and two turns is really nice for not much.

I have a feeling me and Ahsoka are going to be good friends.

So excited to get my Aethersprite's! I'm even considering trying to paint one of them for the first time, or at least look at getting one commissioned to be painted in Ashoka Tano's colors. I really want an Ani, Obi, and Snips squad to be possible, not necessarily competitive

you wanna tell us something, ffg?

R4 Astromech vs R4-P is going to be a tough choice depending on the pilot. I'm not sure if one is clearly better than the other, but R4-P seems to be more of an "in case of emergency..." button compared to the always on R4.

Aw bummer. I was hoping that it'd launch tomorrow. Well I guess it still could, but that line doesn't exactly instill confidence. :/

Isn’t the wave releasing tomorrow? That’s what they said on the stream.

The release timeline is a mistake y’all. Stores are already receiving the kits and they confirmed the date on stream. We will see points and release tomorrow.

It's been corrected. Still coming tomorrow. Don't panic!!

I am pretty sure they just goofed that up. Some people who preordered have already gotten their stuff and same for some stores.

Our FLGS can't seem to verify that their order is going to be honored one way or the other let alone this week. I got the idea that calls from the FLGS were the first the distributor had even heard about the wave. The FLGS was certainly losing the F in relation to said distributor.

Considering their action econ doesn't give them stress, you could argue its one of (if not the) best dial of any "built-in econ" ship in the game.

I think some of that might be CYA, its been mentioned else where that they have confirmed delays for at least part of wave 3 over in Europe.

Always empty, but ...

If p is 1 point always p. If it's 2 still probably p, your reds are the moves you most care about changing. If 3+, who knows.

My complete order will be delayed until next week; still no points; same article as the polish without any new information (just pilots, no upgrades) => frustrated me.

Regarding Luminara's ability, does this trigger before or after the attacker has already modified dice?

Everything else was already spoiled in the squad pack previews.

I believe before.
