Not all that powerful? Don't forget, Revan was the one who crushed the Mandalorian empire and personally defeated Mand'alor. He created an infinite fleet and fought the Republic to the brink of defeat, then turned around and fought the Sith back to near extinction, killing Darth Malak. He is arguably the greatest Sith Lord in history.

And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, but I will remain, and I'll be back again...

Am I the only one who's dissapointed in Juno Eclipse? I believe she's the lowest costing unique character ever. I'll have to doublecheck that though.

Not true. Bib Fortuna and Wicket both cost 8, there may be a few others but that's who I can think of off the top of my head. I rather liked her though, an 8 point disrupt is nice. I forsee putting her, R2PO, Ackbar, and new Leia all together and dare someone to try Nom Bomb or SS with me

yeah, i went to mini-manager and looked, you're right. I expected more though, especially for a new character from the game. Compared to a Sandtrooper though(who costs the same), she has 30 more hp and an extra attack point (it's still only +5), but has 3 less defense and only 10 damage. I guess with careful shot and accurate shot she could get up to +9 attack and 30 damage, and disruptive is pretty good, but i don't think i'll be using her very often. The Star Destroyer Officer isn't bad though.

For that point cost there is not much reason not to use her often, good filler.

I'm with Tapey. Most of my squads will probably have her in them.

Yeah, 8 points to really screw up any CE reliant squads. I couldn't see NOT using her. And with those stats and the Disruptive I wouldn't rely on her to even shoot. I'd keep her out of sight with a bodyguard nearby, and just tap her card at the end of the round.

Question about the snowspeeder: when I shake mine, it sounds like something is rattling around inside. Anyone else get that? Any thoughts? Is it Luke's landmine or ascention gun?

No rattling in mine. hmmmm. Maybe it's Dek? haha.
Preview 5 is up here though. I think it's interesting that they're both 13-pointers. I took the liberty to compare them.
Cost: Tie
HP: Wedge (50 vs 40)
Attack: Wedge (+8 vs +6)
Damage: Wookie (20 vs 10)
Special abilities: Wedge, at least in my opinion. He has Unique; Pilot; Avoid Defeat; Evade; Grenades 10; and Mobile Attack, whereas the wookie only has grenades 20.
Seth's Opinion:
Both are good fillers, but Wedge is def. the stronger mini here. His avoid defeat will reall come in handy, and with that combined with 50 HP, evade, AND mobile attack, he will be extremely hard to kill!

I would if I had the money.
Previews 6 and 7 are up!
Is it just me, or does Demolition Charge seem devestatingly unfair?

NOOOOOO!
Played in the local release tournament. Three people drew Revan, none of them were me. Oh well... it was still awsome, these minis have some seriously crazy force powers. Luke and yoda is insane with Renewal 3 and mastery of the force 3.
