I'm sorry but that just means that nearly all uniques will be replaced with newer, a bit undercosted, special abities/force powers packed versions. While I do agree that we need revisions of many (new Grievious- love him!), but some ground rules should be placed. I may be overestimating here but by following that logic old WotC pieces which are nowdays considered competetive in a few sets will need to be replaced just because they won't be able to keep up with other pieces. Not all, no. But some, yes. The ones that were never really playable. Let's face it. It took 2 years for Rob to come up with a great Princess Leia that was highly playable, and 3 years for Han. I'd say we never got a good Rebel Chewbacca, Luke, or Anakin Skywalker. We got versions of those characters that were strong support but that's it. When Rebel Storm came out, Rob and others at WotC said they wanted the game to feel like Star Wars with lots of Stormtroopers running around. They left that ideal behind less than a year later, and chose instead to just make a handful of power pieces in each set that altered how the game is played. We've tried to pull that back some, and I would daresay we've been successful without destroying what Rob built. In fact, we've enhanced it. Uhh i just want to point out luke rebel commando.... he is a dang good luke rebel piece. Read the sentence that follows the one you bolded. Luke RC is a support piece for moving Han Smuggler around. Considering he can do 80 damage on the move and can attack you back i think he is pretty dang good on his own.

What I like of the new Yoda is how he helps those crazy characters that had FR but no defense abilities, like Maris Brood and Komari Vosa. Sure! It is expensive but how many times have you heard someone say "if only that piece had some survivability?"

I playtested this new Yoda, and I have to say this: I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yoda, the new Qui Gon, FS and another not yet previewed peice are all reallllllly well designed and not overpowered, but do fix some of the major problems that the Republic/Rebels have faced. I absolutely can't wait to play this new Yoda and Qui Gon,FS is....Saesee Tiin!!! Oh man, I love this combo. You got a stealthy jedi that has Cunning attack at a really nice attack bonus that will be able to move 8 and twin cunning someone. Not bad, considering that with Qui Gon,FS you will win init most of the time. As a side note, I just gotta throw this out there, since during playtesting this was my absolute favorite peices to play with Qui Gon,FS and the Dark Woman: Jar Jar Binks. Talk about annoyingly hard to kill now. He's got a force point from the Dark Woman, he's got renewal and mettle from Qui Gon,FS and if he dies, he gets to transfer all his force points to someone with a force rating within 6 squares. I think we have a bombad jedi on the rise here folks! Prior to this V-set, I had always loved pairing Jar Jar with the Dark Woman. Now Its even better! Anyways I digress..... This new Yoda isn't overpowered or undercosted. People will like this new mini a lot, and I can't wait to use him in both factions to make competitive squad builds. This peice inspires creativity in squad builds, and that is a really good thing. I know who designed this peice, and I just want to say job well done man!  I hope they keep you on the design team for many sets to come.

Several people (no less than 5) worked on the concept, and while no one person's idea was completely embraced, it does take in something from every idea touted during the design process.
