I'd like a new Jabba, as well.  It's really exciting: these are my two favorite factions.  I don't know a lot about EU lore, though, so I don't quite know what to expect.  Should be interesting.

You should read Shadow of the Empire. It was part of a multi platform thing that George Lucas did to have a new "film" in the series without making an actual film, had a video game, soundtrack, comic book, trailer and novel all interlocking to tell the story between Episodes V & VI. That is where we meet Xixor and learn how Leia got Boush bounty hunter gear too.

I'm a fantasy guy, but for me, when I read science fiction (once in a blue moon) I care about cool aliens.  xD

 

And Groggy, you meanieface, you forgot my post.

Guri!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ywingscum]

For a while I thought Guri was that adroid from Hit and Run objective, I forget her name.  Er, I mean the human replica droid on recon mission, not hit and run, dur

Guessing 2nd or 3rd week of December

"Contains twenty-six new objective sets (two copies each of twelve unique sets, and one copy each of two “Limit 1 per objective deck” sets) " 

 

So only 1 box  is needed for 2-set-competitive play. Yis.

Correct. This is standard for all LCG deluxe expansions. EoD was an exception because it was essentially the S&S and S&V "core set" and thus needed to have a lot more variety than the typical deluxe expansion box.

The end does it for me in that book - when Lando chucks that thermal detonator into the trash chute or whatever and confirms his badass-ery as I'm going to call it.  Can't recall anything else that brings such a grin to my face from that story arc.

I've seen an omnibus of these comics, but didn't realize there was more.  Interesting.  I'll give the book a look, maybe.  Thanks.

[Skelton]

I second Toqtamish. SotE is awesome. The video game wasn't half bad either.

[INtheShadowplay]

Pretty excited for this. Can't wait to build some new decks!

Still on the boat

Still on the boat

 

It's been less than a month on the boat. I would think in the next 2-3 weeks we'll see it in stores.

[J3bStu4rt]

it seems to be a slow boat

[Budgernaut]

Imperial Assault hit the seas a week before Between the Shadows. As soon as you see news of Imperial Assault hitting the shores, then it's time to start getting read for BtS!

[SeeThreebilbo]

Well, the good thing is that BtS will probably come out just before my birthday, so I won't feel guilty buying it.  And I might get Imperial Assault for Christmas, but maybe Descent instead.  Agh.

[shaggscoob]

Still sticking with my initial estimate of first or second week of December.  This game has been pretty consistent with 6 weeks on the boat, then 1-2 weeks for shipping.

[TheEmpireBringsSexyBack]

It's a big blue watery road

[SeeThreebilbo]

I wonder if this boat goes woooo wooooo.

 

Or maybe it makes Vader breathy noises.
