Was it that cryptic?  Anyway, I got interrupted after I added them to the main post, and I was surprised to come back later and find that nobody else had posted them yet. (Missouri regional previews)

I don't see myself ever playing the Sith Knight. Lobacca looks extremely good though!

Lobacca is only going to get better as more V-sets come out as well. Jedi Bodyguard is one of the ebst abilities the New republic could get. I played tested this guy, and I will say he was one of my favorite pieces coming out in this faction.

I'm so excited for Lowbacca! That is awesome. Been waiting for one for so long, and he is a good piece. Advanced Door Gimmick and Jedi Bodyguard are great in the NR, and nice touches for him plus the Repairs. He isn't going to throw out the most damage ever, but the NR has plenty of that and he will help protect some of the squishier Jedi (or make the non-squishy ones even non-squishier!) Haha and Leia has ANOTHER bodyguard now.
PLUS More Wookiees are always a good thing.

I'm gonna guess Tarfful; he is in a different faction and it seems like they go there first, plus he doesn't have a bowcaster.

The RS Wookiee Rebel would be fine, imo. It will be what I'm using.

I've actually been meaning to pick a few up just for that purpose. Sorry Exceptional Jedi Apprentice, looks like you will just be using a single blade (might work well for Jaden actually...)

And I'll be playing them together through the magic of Merumeru! :) If the thing Chewbacca of Kashyykk is holding were to be replaced by a lighsaber I think it would be a nice looking model.

Wow - a strong New Republic piece with bodyguard is big - giving Mara Jade Jedi or the new Corran Horn extra HP is useful.
I'd like it if the Sith Knight's attack was a couple higher. I'm envisaging a Revan swap squad where he swaps in Sith Knights and Sith Acolytes for kamikaze attacks, but the +12 on dispassionate killer is low if you're trying to hit a big piece consistently.

makes me think we'll see Sith knight boosters some where down the line.

Most likly the fact that Sith Kill Disspassionatly. I was referring more to why being dispassionate results in suicide... which I don't think anyone has ever been able to figure out how the name matches with the effect. I can see two different interpretations for the Sith Knight: 1) The character is so dedicated to the idea of damaging an opponent that he doesn't care if he lives of dies himself. 2) Alternately, based on the flavor, the character is dedicated to his mission/instruction and dispassionate about the actual cause and effect of the battle he is involved in. In a sense, I suppose the end result is basically the same: the character dies (is defeated) because he just doesn't care enough about the bigger picture. With respect to Dass Jennir (who I believe is the only official character with Dispassionate Killer), I always sort of assumed that a defeat for Jennir represented not death so much as leaving the battlefield following the realization "What have I done? I'm giving in to the dark side to do damage--and I feel nothing. I need to get away from this situation before I lose myself."

I felt it really fit the character and the end of the first story arc dealing with Bomo's family. I don't think it works quite the same for the sith knight, so i guess your 1st assumption is about as good as any explanation

I wasn't thrilled with Lowbacca at first glance. However, I'm liking the piece more and more. He'll synergize very well with the Iron Knights whenever we see them in a future set.
