Fantasy Flight Games Announces Star Wars: X-Wing Wave XIV

Fantasy Flight Games has announced the next wave of ships for their fast paced starfighter miniatures combat game Star Wars: X-Wing. Wave XIV will feature:

Saw's Renegades Expansion Pack

TIE Reaper Expansion Pack

Saw's Renegades Expansion Pack doesn't feature any new ships; in fact they'll sweet and slick black and white repaints of the previously released U-Wing and T-65 X-Wing starfighters. Along with the new paint schemes of course comes some new cards. Fifteen Upgrade and ten Ship cards to be exact.

The TIE Reaper isn't your ordinary run of the mill TIE Fighter, oh no, it's actually a troop transport. Being a transport it loses some of its agility but also has six hull and two shields making the TIE Reaper pretty durable on the battlefield. The TIE Reaper expansion pack also comes with four new Ship cards and eleven Upgrade cards.

Make sure you hit up Fantasy Flight Games to get more info and to preorder these great up and coming miniatures.

Star Wars Rebels Season 4 (Trailer)

After an exciting conclusion to Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, we are more than ready to strap in for Season 4.

Unfortunately, it will also be the last season for our beloved crew of the Ghost; the announcement came during the Star Wars Rebels Sneak Peek Star Wars Celebration Orlando panel.

Executive Producer Dave Filoni did inform the attendees that though Rebels is ending, this is not the end for Star Wars animation and that other products will be coming soon (possibly referring to Forces of Destiny among others).

Look for Star Wars Rebels to return later this Fall.

Recap: Star Wars: Rebels NYCC Panel

Here's a quick run down of the Star Wars: Rebels panel from NYCC 2013; but first we'd like to thank the following people for live tweeting the event and providing us with this valuable information!

• Amy Ratcliffe
• Aaron Goins
• Rebels Report
• Stitch Kingdom

Highlights

• Rebels premiere is still about a year out; will premiere with an hour-long episode on Disney Channel and then move to half hour segments over on Disney XD.
• Simon Kinberg is writing the hour long premiere episode.
• Dave Filoni was not in attendance due to the fact that he is in Asia working with the animation team.
• Rebels will take place 14 years after Revenge of the Sith.
• The planet Lothal will be one of the principal locations for the show.

• Animation style is distinct enough that they were unable to reuse anything from The Clone Wars. (Which is okay since we weren't really a fan of the animation style.)
• Episodes will be shown in chronological order and follow the same group of characters. (Looks like the SW franchise is finally trying something new here.)
• Stormtroopers will not be Clones! They instead will be regular citizens who "volunteer" to join the Imperial forces.
• Some Clones will go on to train the new Stormtroopers while others will be disgruntled; per Lucas' notes.

• No confirmation on who, but some TCW characters will make appearances; were questioned specifically about Ahsoka, but received no answer.
• Series will focus mainly on the Empire and struggling Rebel forces, there will also be a prominent Bounty Hunter presence and limited Jedi (who are still being hunted by the Empire).
• New Villain! The Inquisitor! Hired to help hunt down Jedi in the name of the Empire.

• No soundtrack has been announced, however Dave Filoni does listen to specific John Williams tracks while animating.
• Rebels is being developed much quicker than TCW because of the team's past experience on TCW.
• A great deal of Rebels is being based off the work of Ralph McQuarrie.
