Is it Screed because he wasn’t in episode IV?
Clone Wars Upgrades!

It's Screed because he's the only one with a hat.
Its Tarkin because he in unplayable at 38pts

MFW I'm so fixated on keming minutiae that I don't realize the Chosen One has joined the Sith, not destroyed them.

You should play him at 35pts then, just like the card in the picture says.
Edit - Dodonna's cost is wrong too.
Now THERE'S a freaking conspiracy.

Not just his cost, he's only pulling 3 Cards there.
That's the
Pre Release version
of the Card.
Tarkin, Dodonna, Sloane and Sato are known to have Pre-Released versions of cards that changed in the Final Version.

Proof, if ANY MORE proof were needed, that Dodonna was bodged up by a drunk office cleaner after everyone had gone home just to sedate the proletariat and keep them under control.
In order to further confuse the primitive sheeple, FFG cunningly changed the font and formatting as well as the points and effects for release.

That doesn’t clearly mean anything, and it’s not justification for the indecent behavior, but it is true.
Oh, no doubt. My suspicion is that some of the CW cards will have too much text to fit on one normal-sized upgrade card. Heck, we were kinda already at that point of spillover already. Look at Commander Beck's card--no one was really sure what it did despite the card being filled to the brim with text.
What small ships could you imagine as part of the CIS navy? I don't think there were any in the series, but a long time passed since then.

If FFG is allowed to pull some stuff from Legends they could use this Geonosian cruiser from Republic Commando.
Also there is the Diamond-class cruiser which was in Episode II, it flys vertically and lands like Firesprays.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Diamond-class makes an appearance since it can be directly seen in Episode II (and in Star Tours). I suspect they might use it for a flotilla, along with the Hardcell-class.

I'm hoping for a C-9979 flotilla because I like the design a lot, plus Canon has a starfighter carrier version that can carry 144 starfighters. I could see a C-9979 flotilla being either Squadron 3 or 4 being a good idea, because Munificent frigates and Recuscant destroyers don't have hangers on the stock models so their Squadron value should be 1 in my opinion.

Thus began the bloody font wars. Few survived the bloody battle of sans serif, but the outcome would only serve to strengthen the New Times Roman legeion.

You think it Obi-Wan's card, right?
Is it because it's the only one that doesn't yet have an alt art promo?
The more I look at that Obi-Wan card, the more I think it’ll be a regular card size.
Either way, fleet-wide ESTs seems good, but the readied condition worries me a little. I’m not sure I’m sold on him at 28 points. Ignoring the opportunity cost of the slots, it seems more cost effective to just bring massed ESTs.

Look, we've been told we can't gather in crowds of 10 or more... Your going to force all of them to keep working? Are they essential?

Exactly this. It's definitely regular font size.
I would counter the troll by saying these are finalized cards, but they also very certainly do look different from what we normally see.
It's not just the font size and kerning; the whole framing and formatting is off, and the aspect ratio is different. The font is almost exactly half the size of the other cards when sized the same. Assuming the font actually is the same, we have a double-sized card.
And the odd thing is that this means all the CW upgrades are full-card sized (2.5"x3.5").
We're not seeing draft cards (though it is entirely possible they could change c.f. I5 Windu in X-Wing). We're seeing something entirely new.
The only question is why?

Both is amazeballs. Even if there are only single redirects, stopping 2 damage sounds like fun 🙂

I don't think that you can ignore the opportunity cost of the slots. If you if ignored Tarkin's opportunity cost you could provide better token generation for your fleet with Vanto, Wulff and Grint. But that's three officer slots.
Massed EST means no Lando, Toryn Farr, Leia, Agate (for rebels as an example, we don't what Republic officers we'll see of course).
That and Obi still lets you redirect with that redirect token while reducing the damage.

New factions means the opportunity to do something new. Perhaps its an easier way to tell the difference between CW era cards that can only be used in that time vs GCW cards. Idk, maybe people were complaining the cards were hard to read.

Except I can take Wulf, Grint, and Hondo with Motti for the same points and have an appreciably similar effect PLUS more hull.
