Anyone got any cool Rebel Alliance related pics or movies or what have you to get people motivated?
Here we see Kyle Katarn and couple of Commandos demonstrating that you don't need to be a whiny farmboy to fight the Empire:-
The T-65B X-Wing - the current state of the art in Starfighter design. The sharpest thing in space.
What? Rebels scum should be willing to die for their cause... Besides, Shields are for wimps.
Boom!
Leia: Leading from the Front!
"...and your secondary targets are here and here : a mime school and an accordian factory."
Somewhere in cyberspace is a really kewl anime of a rebel/ imperial dogfight somoene is working on.
This thing?

While X-Wings can't transform, I do think we ought to be demanding that the dogfights in Star Wars going forwards be at least this cool:-
Time to pull out my copy of this bad boy and start making conversions to this system*.
* Does the game engine for EotE / AoR / F&D have a name unto itself?
This thing?

Yesss.
Wow that space battle animation is better than the animation for the Clone Wars show. Was that a fan made thing? Lucas film should have been pumping stuff like this out long ago.
Does the game engine for EotE / AoR / F&D have a name unto itself?
I call it SWFFG.
Do we'd have WEG, SWD20, RCR, Saga and SWFFG.

Looking at the cover of EotE, it appears to be called 'Star Wars Roleplaying'. Which makes sense, since WEG used both 'The Star Wars Roleplaying Game' and 'Star Wars: the Roleplaying Game', and then WotC had to take 'Star Wars Roleplaying Game' (whichever version you like), so FFG are left with 'Star Wars Roleplaying'.
Unless they go with 'the Utterly Way-Out Whiz-Bang Roleplaying Game Based on Star Wars!!', which they clearly didn't go for.
I've been calling it FFG's narrative system. I guess that could be FFGN. Figgin? If you label it just based on the Star Wars version, you are leaving out it's history of being originally created for FFG's Warhammer. The narrative system of EotE is basically the narrative system of Warhammer, 2nd edition, for a Star Wars campaign.
I call it Stan.

Perhaps, but for most of us, all we care about is the Star Wars iteration of the system. As I understand it, the Star Wars version is slightly different than what was found in the Warhammer products. It's like Saga Edition. We call it Saga, even if it is just a refinement of the D20 system.

I can call it Betty--and Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al.

If you think that's good check out the doctor who animation he did!

I assume its this one:-
Man, I know I am an unreconstructed geek when I realise I'd like Doctor Who a lot more if the Doctor did more Kung Fu. In the same way that I started to love Sherlock Holmes when he started using his mind powers to beat people up in the Guy Ritchie movies.
And I like Doctor Who. And my whole family watches it - my niece and nephew, my parents, everyone. So it being a family show is great. But still.

It has a name, I call it Vera.
Here we see a Rebel droptrooper company assault an Imperial held settlement during the liberation of Alsas. The footage clearly shows the importance of squad repeating blasters to infantry tactics of the perod.
Dont forget that there are heroes on both sides...

I hadn't said a word!
But since you asked, given that I think Disney isn't going to want to portray The Empire in a positive light, it behoves us to examine ways to make the Rebel Alliance more attractive to the typical gamer.
Redesigning the average Rebel trooper so they look more like this might be a good start:-
The Rebel Alliance do have the worse looking uniforms/armour in the Star Wars universe
What with the bicycle helmets of ANH and the orange rompa suits of the X-wing pilots.
Fliers in the US Navy wore orange flight suits for a long time in the sixties and seventies, and some were still wearing them when Star Wars came out. This is a Grumman test pilot in 1981.
And the dudes on the Tantive 4 are clearly not official Rebel soldiers but rather senate security accompanying Leia.
I don't think it is a million miles to get from:-
by adding stuff like kneepads and tactical gear:-
to get to something more like:-
