I certainly agree, but I wonder how that affects the stats of both weapons. I'm sure it allows the LRB to not run out of ammo, but when disconnected does it have limited ammo? Does the jetpack have increased speed but less HT or SS to work with? After all, it did manage to catch up to the Razor Crest. Probably no hardpoints left on it either except for a small one.

My guess is that the LRB needs a power pack to function, like the HRB does. It could also be that it is an in-between model that doesn't fit into the generic categories. Sort of like how Baze's weapon needed a power pack.

As for the Jetpack, I'd guess that it is the same as a normal jetpack, speed 2, SST 3, but possibly Handling -1 instead of 0. The LRB would probably have a normal number of HP, I'd guess 4, since the power pack is probably required.

The Razorcrest was probably going at speed 2, so the guy with the jetpack catching up makes sense with the normal stats.

With the wobble as he peeled away after sending off the Razor Crest, that -1 Handling does make a bit of sense.

I'm not sure about the LRB needing a power pack in the form of an actual backpack. Baze's was a bit of an outlier because it had the underslung charge shot as well as one of the highest rate of fires I've seen of an on screen hand held weapon, even more so than the Z-6, which also didn't need a power pack. My guess it doesn't need one, but having one opens up a couple things, like the ability to ignore running out of ammo via Despair or 3 Threat, much like the Optimized Energy Cell, only forgoing the use of a Hardpoint to make it more appealing.

Sounds about right.

On further thought, I wonder if a Despair or two might cause whatever generator powers both to.... well... explode? That much power in such a small package and doing simultaneous things probably is not the most stable system.

O_O I might second guess adding that to my wishlist.

It would have to be 2, otherwise no benefit would be gained from hooking the LRB up to the pack.

That said, looking at the fluff-text for the LRB, it mentions that it can either be powered by a standard power pack or by a backpack-mounted power generator (i.e. Baze's gun).

It mentions nothing regarding Threat to make it run out of ammo, so I'd just say that hooking it up to the jetpack adds the expenditure of 2 Despair and other than that, it runs like an ordinary LRB, it just can't run out of ammo on a Despair because it is plugged in to a generator.

Also, for as cheesy as Star Wars has been with certain tropes in the past, I was surprised when Carl Weathers survived because of Chekhov's Beskar.

I guess having an ingot of Beskar in your chest pocket is the Star Wars equivalent to the Zippo lighter of WW2.

His LRB looked a lot like the one the stormtrooper is holding on page 143 of the AoR CRB. Does anyone know what that weapon is?

So upon further inspection, the weapon in the book looks to be a half destroyed emplacement weapon rather than a mobile blaster, so two different guns to my eyes. The configuration of Vizla's is more vertical barrel on barrel rather than the more horizontal config of the one the stormtrooper has.

Edit: Also, the one in Vizla has also includes THREE barrels instead of two

Or that weapon, like several others we've seen in the past few years, is a named weapon that requires an external feed.

Same here...

His jetpack looked bulkier, so it could be that it was more than just a jetpack and was some sort of combination of the two.

In the last session of my game, the player running around with a flame thrower was asking our mechanic to build him a jet pack that could double as a fuel tank for his flame thrower. I was thinking, I can't wait until he rolls a despair with that contraption.

Does anyone recognize this guy? Looks so familiar but I can't place it!

Looks similar to 4 lom but it isnt

That's what I was calling a Gank. Don't know if it is one, but it might be?

Looks like the villain from Aquaman, Black Manta.

It kinda does. Black Manta, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, it would be a nice nod. Noticed it the second time I watched it and guessed that it might have been a nod to the EU, since that's something that's been laced throughout the show (like the Mandalorian's rifle).

Unfortunately, it probably is.

Seriously? All this talk about the new episode, and not a single mention of solving the mystery of the ice cream maker?

Would be cool if it is. But I could have sworn I have seen that character, or one similar, elsewhere, I just can't place it.

A camtono of Beskar would be pretty heavy, hope they have repulsor assist.

Do Mandalorians shave? wash their hair? Do they need to drink through straws?

also appreciated seeing a "cheapskate carl weathers" character back into action. "I'm rich too, see? 8D" idiot's grin as he shows off religious ore to the guy who is fighting for it.

worth mentioning that those polearms that the trandoshans were weilding had the same shimmer effect on the blades. Pretty sure those were vibro-axes as well.

Late reply on mudhorn kill, he shanked the thing right behind the eye, probably hit a vital or two. I smell quad advantage and a triumph (with some sort of undisclosed NPC specific talent from baby yoda that totally nerfed the difficulty and added a boost. lol)
