also there are not enough c's for that commander effect

This is the wording from the QC. NOTE: It is NOT the final wording (see below):



After the BT was posted, we tinkered some with the wording of the CE, to come up with the following final version of the character card.



So there you have it.

Probably so that it doesn't work with Sweep and Assault. JWM's and all...

Will be great for a lot of characters.

So which set is Yoda in?

Agreed, I can see a lot of stuff that might have been unintentional with the original wording. I like the CE and Yoda a lot.

And since you have to end your move before ending your turn, hello General Skywalker.

And since it's an end of turn simultaneous effect thing, CE's that grant extra movement at end of turn can be used after the extra attack. ...the only ones that come to mind are Princess Leia, Senator and Rex 501st with Yoda and Bardan/Tur-Mukan.

Hmm, and would seem it doesn't work with Rolling Cleave.

I'm sorry, a Rebel Yoda with lightsaber?
NO WAY.
What's next? Darth Vader Redeemed? (from RoTJ before death?)
I get that we already have Jennir, Pavan in Rebels but that's just wrong. They should've been Fringe with Anti-Imperial affinity or sort(can't be placed in Imperial squad). Just because some characters were in Republic and it ended doesn't mean that they gotta go to Rebel faction. Come on, we shouldn't repeat WotC's mistakes And we all know that Rebel faction was created many years later. Just because some1 opposed Empire doesn't make him Rebel. -or is it only for some undexplored game mechanics? Still think it is a BIG mistake. I'm surprised that everybody is on board with it.

I like him in Republic, thou.
He's A LOT undercosted- compare him with Rebel Force Battery in Rebel squad/ Yoda from JA for Republic squad. Should cost ~54/56 points for what he brings to the table for both factions.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
I'm a strong V-sets supporter but seeing another key/next gen pieces seriously undercosted (Mace, now Yoda) I'm beggining to wonder if it is being done sorely on purpose.

If my words offended any1 then I am really sorry and from this place would like to apologise, but I had to get this out of my chest. I really like this game and I want to play it for as long as I can, but if more pieces which aren't that much game-changing but their cost ratio/what they bring in to the table are on their way, then I will have to seriously think if I want to start skirmish with my friends.

One of the dumbest suggestions of all time regarding Star Wars is that Luke was proficient enough to hold his ground against Vader for as long as he did with virtually no formal lightsaber training. I always believed, even growing up, that Yoda taught Luke lightsaber skills during his time on Dagobah, and that the only reason we didn't see it in the movie is because it was not feasible to portray a puppet holding a lightsaber in 1979.

Designing a Rebel Yoda with affinity for Republic was one of the hardest processes we went through on v-set 4, and took perhaps the longest amount of time to finish. He didn't start out as a combatant, but the more time passed and the more revisions he went through, the harder it was to accurately cost him as a non-combatant that could help two factions in a way that hasn't already been done by some other piece. Ultimately it was decided that this would be the Yoda who defied the Empire and went on to teach Luke what he knew. It gives the Rebel a solid melee fighter and offers some combat assistance to the factions that need help keeping up with the changes to the other faction.

I knew when we made this change that not everyone would like it, and that's okay. There's never going to be a figure design that everyone approves of, and we just have to do what we think is best for the game overall. And to answer your other question, no there will never be a "Darth Vader Redeemed" as long as I have anything to say about it (and please note I don't always have a say about every decision). That would be ridiculous.



That is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I disagree. I don't see those choices as "mistakes," nor do I think our decisions are a repeat of any such "mistakes." Instead, I believe it is our responsibility to build on what Rob created and to keep his vision of the game intact as much as possible without continuing the trend of setting up inferior factions. This is a step in that endeavor, and i am proud of how the stat block turned out.

As to the rest, yes some of it is intentional. No WotC version of Mace is competitive. No WotC version of most uniques are considered competitive. We are working to put movie heroes in the competitive game and I won't apologize for that.

I can see him working well with Epic Luke

This.

Also, by your logic komix, Obi-Wan Kenobi should never have been Rebel, either. He fought and defeated Darth Vader, declaring in the process that his "loyalty is to the Republic, to democracy," before going into hiding on Tatooine. Princess Leia requested his help on behalf of her father - who was killed before Obi-Wan ever arrived to meet him - and then he died almost immediately after in his final fight with his former apprentice. So when exactly did he become part of the Rebel Alliance? And yet...
