Obviously, the epic pieces follow somewhat different design guidelines and rules than "regular" pieces. This set introduces a number of new Special Abilities and Force Powers. What are the likelihood that we'll see some of these Special Abilities (eg, Spy, Cortosis Weave XX) on non-Epic pieces in the future?
In other words, are there any Special Abilities or Force Powers that you guys came up with for the Epic pieces that made you go "Crikey! This definitely doesn't belong on a non-Epic piece! Ever!"
Thanks, guys!

You'll have to wait and see, but I can say that these new abilities are obviously being considered for future use. I don't think we'll ever make a generic ability and never use it again.

Heres a few of my thoughts:
Phantom Menace: Obviously unique to Epic sidious.
OR Conscription: Very interesting. Maybe will be used on a future Lord Hoth, if any? Or possibly an OR commander (such as possibly Adasca)
Master Recovery: Waaaay overcosted IMHO. I dont think its really worth it on any other character than an Epic piece.
First of the new Order: Obvously again unique to Luke.
Ritual Scarring: I could see this SA being on other Vong pieces.
No Disintigrations: Ummm....could possibly be on future Vaders
Orbalisk Armor: Unique to Bane. Maybe if you make a new Bane it could be used again...
Intimidation: Definitely could see this piece being used on high-costing commanders or beats...preferably dark siders (Vader; Greivous) but maybe a few light side characters as well (Padme haha just kidding).
Force Shield: The best FP on the epics IMHO. Basically its shields 2. Maybe (just maybe) could be used on a few high costing jedi masters.
Dark Assault: Could be used for Sith Lords or non-unique Sith jedi.
Spy: Could easily be used for stealthy-type characters
Master Slicer: Dont quite get what the ability represents
Cortosis Weave: Could see this maybe on some other Mandies.
Counterattack: Could see this be on some melee beats.

slicers are computer hackers in SW, I guess she is a super hacker that can get past locked doors.. but hasn't the manners to hold it open for her friends. Ladies first indeed lol.

Thats a pretty good summation Creme, it may be possible that future regular versions of the figures get one of those abilities, but it a more limited fashion (ie a toned down version, or starting with less FPs to be able to use them).
An ability like Spy or Counterattack is likely to be given out to represent the aspects of a character, but yeah.. something like The Phantom Menace won't be on anything else.
I also doubt you'll ever see the specific CEs from the Epics on any other figs.
