Don't forget this transport hauler.

Heavy laser cannons and turrets, crew carrier. This could be the Resistance Upsilon shuttle.

Dang, wouldn't it be cool if this ship was larger and could carry a couple small fighters inside?

If it bumps you, it releases a horse stampede on you.

There are lots of choices.

I also still think the I-TS from Galaxy's Edge would be neat as well, just a little shorter than a U-Wing and looks a bit like a Cornellian corvette, which is neat.

Space Horses - remote - move's just like the buzz droid swarm - at the start of the end phase deal 1 damage to any ship at range 0 - if a ship at range 0 performs a barrel roll this remote is destroyed - if there are no ships at range 0 at the start of the end phase this remote is destroyed

Off topic, I wonder what the resistance actual plan was? They would reach that high comms tower with the horses and then what? It seems it was their luck the First Order saw trough that plan.

Cutting that first trailer to aim young was such a titanic mistake, despite the fact it was a fairly conventional choice. Its initial time slot hurt that age group, and it didn't know what to market itself to. Really shoulda gone with an 'all ages' cartoon vibe like Clone Wars did, or even aim more for the 'teen and low key adult men' crowd like the final seasons of Clone Wars did with its trailer. A lot of people just never tried it due to that disastrous first trailer, which is a real shame, and some people just aren't interested in any Disney era content at all post TROS.

I finished the first season, but it was pretty much despite the protagonist. His backstory has him as some sort of military school hotshot, but then he acts for all the world like a completely undisciplined middle schooler not fit for the job he has or even the job he's pretending to have.

I'm convinced you could haul a couple of RZ-2s in it, to be honest. Those things almost fit in my frakking pocket.

This is true, the EU is kinda where Star Wars lives more than the movies anyway. It is one of the biggest transmedia products of all time and trying to limit stuff to just movie stuff is borderline asinine. I mean Disney themselves kinda did that with the A-wing by having the RZ-1 be a ship special enough to get an RZ-2 to be a 'main' resistance ship, even though by the movie standards the A-wing seems kinda lame: Disney knows the A-wing is a ship with a bonkers amount of love due to it being positioned as possibly the coolest Rebel ship in the EU.

This is actually dangerous for the ST faction in my opinion though, because for a lot of reasons (Bad will with the cast, some fan members refusing to consume even good parts of this era on principle, and the ending making it hard to explore further due to the OT characters all having... pretty decisively unhappy endings regardless of them 'being at peace' or whatever), that Disney is going to pivot hard to the High Republic Era.

FFG definitely has enough material to work with here, and if The Mandalorian keeps knocking things out of the park it might be the piece of media that 'salvages' the ST as a viable transmedia product (regardless of if you think its good or not, that is what actually matters here), but I suspect that the ST era is gunna slooooooow dooooown in terms of Transmedia. It isn't an accident a lot of the current transmedia products are focused on immediately before and after OT.

I don't know what I did to deserve such a nice thing to be said about me, but can do!

Not everyone here has English as their first language, you understood the intent. Don't be a **** and keep the forum inclusive.

Letting someone know they are using the wrong word can be helpful, especially to people learning a new language. Most of us go years saying little things incorrectly before someone bothers to correct us, and those errors can lead to a bad impression down the line.

If you want to keep the forum inclusive maybe dont get aggressive and start with personal attacks.

Double crew?

Rough Riders Horse Horde - after overlaping an enemy ship, you may discard this card and sing the song Rawhide. If you do, asign the overlapped ship the "Giddyup" condition.

Giddyup- you can only perform your highest speed maneuver.

It grants shield regen if you sing Ghost riders in the sky, and focus if you hum Bonanza... This feels fluff/silly perfectly balanced to the movie 😅
