IMO, I believe that GMY is the new GOWK, since GOWK might get band. Yoda is freakin' awesome, and hes the same cost as GOWK, but WAY better. I played a battle with my friend Darth Davis,btw he is a pertty good guy,some of u should trade with him,anyway I was using GMY and him GOWK. I won,with Yoda at 110 hit points,and killed GOWK in 5 rounds . GMY is a very good piece at 55, and can help out your squad. BTW, he missed about 70% of his Soresu's .

you may be on to something. but I think this will only be true if GenObi gets banned and your friend gets a better dice

Honestly, Obi-Wan should never be better than Yoda. ;)

Its true, I saw it happen, but I dont think he played it right, because he used like 2 FP's for moveing closer,
but I still think Yoda would have dominated, and Yoda in a squad isnt as hard to kill, because of that stupid sorasu style, with 2 mettles, that really sucks

Kenobi should be better than Yoda. Yoda was never the quintessential Jedi everyone depicts him as. It was Yoda's own lack of foresight that caused the failure of the Jedi Order. He could not realize the errors of his ways because of his own arrogance and self-rightousness. This was the exact reason why Qui-Gon was passed up for service on the council. He did not follow the council's way of thinking, so they never promoted him. Their choices were based on political opinion, not ability. Is that the Jedi way? His Jedi Order also never questioned the existence of the clone army. With the dark side clouding everything, should they have not questioned everything that was out of the ordinary? I think an army two million strong supposedly ordered by a Jedi ten years ago is out of the ordinary. It seems that even with such a dark side presence in the galaxy, Yoda's Order still maintained the arrogance that they were always right and that resulted in their downfall. Yoda was essentially a great teacher that was strong in the Force, but he left much to be desired as a leader. His strength in the Force compensated for his weaknesses in other areas, the perfect example being his use of Ataru. Kenobi on the other hand, was proficient in all areas. This was also pointed out by Anakin, since he mentioned that Kenobi was as strong as Master Windu and as wise as Master Yoda. His many military victories in the Clone Wars speak for themselves. By the time of A New Hope, Kenobi became so powerful that he was almost omniscient despite the cloud of the dark side.

Ummmmm, if you remember but Yoda is always better than Obi, in episode 3, Yoda said that Obi could not fight the emperor instead of Vader because obi was not rady like Yoda was, so Yoda is better than Obi, and besides who really cares?

OH, and a nother really cool thing, Kota got very close to killing GOWK, 1 on 1, he got GOWK down to 10 before dieing, it really depended on init, because GOWK was out of force and it was really funny, he spent a ton of FP's trieing to stop himself from getting activated by Repulse.

and besides who really cares? In a tactical sense, yes, you could say Yoda is more powerful in a one-on-one battle. However, in a strategical and large scale tactical sense, Kenobi is much more adept. Also, how do we know this not Yoda's own arrogance again? No, it does not really matter. I just never understood why people always love the prequel Yoda. By the way, that is pretty funny about Kota repulsing Kenobi. Kota is definitely a favorite, but I have not had much luck pulling him. It is too bad he does not help Antarian Rangers.

Yeah, he is good, but with the right stuff, If you plan only to repulse, youd be wasting your time with him, the best way to do it is with a rebel troop transport,
but 1 on 1 with Obi, it was very funny.

I have a friend who keeps whining to me about how Yoda is so much better than GOWK, and he just ignores me when I say that with SSM, Mettle, and tons of boosted support, a good GOWK squad could take a GMY squad any day and win.

Maybe. I think a good GOWK squad would have trouble against a good GMY squad. Throw 3 in conjuction with ASM is really good. Tow GMY into the right position and Rex is dead from ASM and Twin.

I was thinking about this last night... Grand Master Yoda is pretty good + he is a decent replacement for GOWK if/when he is banned + he is Rare + he is unique = Yobuck will be played much less if at all Why not just replace GOWKs card with one that is more unbannable? Instead we now have to chose between two Yodas that are pretty good and will be lacking a sweet Obi-Wan. Looks like I'll have to break out my General Kenobi again (I love his CE anyway)

I would errata GOWK to be at least 75pts. This would limit a lot of the support he could bring in. He himself would be no less powerful, but the squad on the whole would be. Good point Froggie. I like Yobuck too much not to play him.

Artemis: Your math is good, but I don't think that YoBuck will go away anytime soon. You are expecting to swap in GMY and go on a 26-square strafing run with him that kills all fodder in your reach?

I know Yobuck and GMY are different types of characters and that some people are going to choose either one for the type of squad they want to run, but I'm a little iffy about the fact that they have pretty much made it so you have to choose between GMYoda to get a stat boost or Yobuck for a fodder killer.
I really do wish they had just made changes to GOWK. I don't really like the idea of keeping the same mini and jacking up the cost. I'd rather remove mettle or MOTF2 from his card and keep him the same. There has better be a good Obi-Wan coming in the next set to replace GOWK if they are going to ban him.

I'd like to point out that Panaka swap CE requires a medium base. I am fairly certain Yoda is a small this time. So odds are, no swapping GMY.

That is a very good point bill. That will take out alot of options for GMY and swapping squads.
