You can get Luke Evade, though it doesn't come from a Commander Effect (and with Leia it gets very very pricey)

I do have to agree with you here. To be fair, this Luke dosen't have man y of GMLS's strengths-no FR1-granting, no base 120 damage, lower stats.

Yeah his CE still grants FR-1. The big difference is not having Triple and the more likely 120 damage. But he offers a lot more for that trade, and as theHutts points out he is likely to get cunning



I understand FlyingArrow's points, but I don't know what you can do to really improve GMLS without just replacing him...he was supposed to be WoTC's EPIC piece and he just was never quite worth it (despite that he was my favorite WotC piece.) If you make a piece that only affects him even that isn't going to leave a lot of room for anything else in the squad. I like the new Luke because he feels a lot closer to what Grand Master Luke should have been. And they at least used the same sculpt as the RM (though personally I think Luke Skywalker, JM has a cooler sculpt and I'll probably use that.)

And while I do really like Luke, HotO; something brand new would have been great as well. Especially something to fill in the blanks of the New Republic Lukes. We have One incredibly High-cost, beat stick. An expensive moderate threat (who also needs help outside of epic games.) So maybe a "lower point" Commander or Teacher Luke (see my custom above) or some more help for Luke, Jedi Master. Again I don't mind that he is GMLS2.0 since GMLS 1.0 was underwhelming in competitive play (though incredibly fun in casual.)

Looking forward to it then

Luke has always had subpar characters in this game. Contrary to let’s say Yoda or Vader that have so many cool pieces that represent them really well. I think that the main problem is with how to interpret Luke. In later life Luke becomes a really strong force user. Yet for the NR Luke, the designers seem to interpret him to be a beat stick Mace Windu style. And that’s why I believe that both Grand masters miss the mark in many respects. All he has are high attack, hit points and defense stats. He is boring.
Even the cost and CE are underwhelming. You can't fit any of the faction pieces or boost them, yet he can't carry himself. I strongly suggest looking at Exar Kun for cool force powers and aggressive stats to understand what I mean.
And besides what’s wrong with bringing back "use the force" or levitate. Think of Luke more like a force power user that inspires greatness in others instead of a mean beat stick and you will find "the" Grand Master that he truly is.

Cheers

I've said it before and I'll probably mutter it again from time to time... I'd really love to see a nice, meaty beatstick Luke for Rebel... the Luke that smoked Vader in the 6th movie. Just saying. I know its not popular...

I'd love to see that as well! Luke was an extremely talented duelist and and that is my favorite duel in any of the movies. I was reading something the other day where people were discounting Luke's talents because "he only trained for a bit how could he beat Vader who trained for years!" Because Luke is awesome that is why!

I like the sound of that!

Oddly enough I always thought of COTF as the Luke specifically from Jabba's Palace...

I think if there is a Luke that represents his final fight with Vader and a bit beyond it wouldn't be a stretch to give him NR Affinity.

+1, it would be nice to get playable Luke and Hantauns.
