i'm a little confused about twin attack. i've read on the wotc forums that it triggers whenever an attack is made, hence arica being able to attack each legal target twice with blaster barrage. so, besides that, what about canderous ordo? and assuming, twin attack does trigger whenever an attack is made, does that mean each time canderous hits with his triple attack, it's basically 3x2 for a total of 6? and in that sense, when darth maul champ. of sith is paired with general whorm loathsom, does that mean he can attack for a total of 8 times? if all these are true....i have but one word to say.... "wow"

Yes, it triggers whenever you attack. So you have Quadruple Attack and Twin Attack, you make 8 attacks. If you get a Death Shot thanks to a CE, then you get Twin Attack.

One further distinction is that while double and triple attack may be affected by movement, twin attack is not...you get it regardless. So, a character with double attack and twin may lose his double attack if he moves, but still gets his twin.

Twin must be against the same target as the first attack, which means if you kill it with the first and want to attack a second enemy, twin cannot be used. Double/Triple/Quad/Extra allow attacking more than one piece, twin does not.

Well I guess it makes more sense for me to ask my question about Twin Attack here rather than start a new thread. It's pretty basic and I'm already confident of the answer but just wanted to be certain.
Does a character with the Twin Attack SA (such as Arica for example) get to make their Twin Attack concurrent to making an Extra Attack that has been granted by another characters CE (such as Darth Vader, Legacy of the Force as an example)?
The reason I ask is due to the definition of Extra Attack which includes the text "make 1 cumulative extra attack instead of moving". I assume it is phrased this way to distinguish that an extra attack isn't made concurrent with each part of a double, triple or quadruple attack and simply 1 extra attack in addition to the aforementioned multiple attacks.
Am I correct to believe that the character in question would indeed make a twin attack with the extra attack in this scenario?

Extra attack means add one attack on to the characters base number of attacks if they don't move. This means if they had double, they now have triple. Which means of course if twin is involved then you get even more fun.

So slightly off topic here, but if a character has greater mobile attack, and is granted an extra attack via someones CE, they can move and still make that extra attack? For example if you used Cad Bane with Darth Krayt, he could move and make six attacks instead of 4?

Correct. Biggest thing to remember is that you have to check for availability of the CE right when you are attacking, not when you start your move.

Even though this is a Force Power that replaces attack or attacks I think you can still twin attack each target. The text in lightsaber sweep calls your action an attack it would met the requirements to trigger twin attack.

Replacing attacks/turn does not affect whether something is an attack or not.

Are there situations when one would get to make an attack, that has twin, but not be allowed to use ones twin attack?

Yes. It would happen if the character being attacked is no longer a legal target after the first attack is made (i.e. moving out of LoS using Major Veer's CE).

Another example is simply if you make your initial attack and defeat that character. You cannot use your twin attack on a different target as your twin attack must be made against the same target. Double, triple and quad on the other hand can be against multiple legal targets. I also find it funny to read my own post from just over 2 months ago shortly after I started playing SWM. That seems like a lot longer ago than what it actually is!

Maybe I should have asked that differently, I was looking for less obvious cases. I know you can't make a twin attack if your target is A) dead, B) No longer a legal target, or C) You are dead before your twin attack.

There are cases where you need to make a check before each attack of the Twin (pretty sure it's Pheromones and Bombad Gungan) so you could fail a save and not be allowed to attack.
