I personally love his Rex one. I never thought I would want to see the Clone Wars as a medieval war but I kinda do now.

It's definitely some incredible stuff.

That gives me so many DnD ideas.

Hmm, I see a Dex-based Battle Master (or maybe a Samurai?), a Bladelock and a Path of Berserker Barbarian.

The Republic Commando soundtrack is awesome. Have you seen that YT video that mixes Vode An from Republic Commando with the Mandalorian theme, then does it in medieval style? It’s amazing. You should look it up.

That sounds awesome. I will look it up at some point.

I really hope that they make a live action Republic Commando movie someday. Imagine seeing Commandos on the big screen, fighting as a squad, then hearing that epic theme blasting out of theater speakers.

That would be awesome to see. A live action tv series would be even better because it would allow for more character developmentDelta Squad blowing things up.

So EckhartsLadder posted a new video on Squadrons giving his opinion after some play testing and I think the game looks good.

Some things I noted is that there is a skill gap and even average players can win against new players a large amount of the time, capital ships are a real threat to you, and (in fleet battles at least) there are bots. I am officially on the hype train.

Things like this I try to let slide, but when it's something important to the plot, as the bombers are, I just can't ignore it. The worst part is that they seem so at odds with the hit-and-run tactics one would expect the Resistance to favor.

Let’s see. Super slow and thus incapable of keeping up with a fighter escort. Lacks defenses against enemy starfighters and can be easily destroyed. Yeah they are useless. They honestly should have used Y wings. Honestly I would take the Flying Fortresses I believe they are based on over them. Those things could take a hit and defend themselves from enemy fighters.

I figured the bombers were normally not used for this but it was all they could get, like at the end they were left with the Falcon and five people.

From what i know they are meant to bomb ground targets from low orbit or something, not spaceships. So i think that is the case.

Even if your bombing from orbit these things are pretty useless. If your dropping projectiles from such a long distance the bombs are likely going to get blown off course and there is no way these things are getting close to anywhere with any kind of AA defenses. They more of a hindrance than anything else. A waste of manpower on useless vessels. And I really doubt they would be unable to get their hands on some Y-wings, which can actually do things other than die.

The bombers imo should have been a lot larger and more heavily armed with extra turrets etc with a large crew. Akin to what they are based on from ww2

They really should have. As it stands I think the flying fortresses are actually better than them. They could take hits and keep on chugging(unlike these bombers which several can be taken out by debris) and defend themselves.

Shoulda just brought back the K-Wing.

Damn they look funky:



I would make some adjustments personally. Bring the forward under turret a bit back to be directly under the cockpit, i think the strutt leading to it is weird looking. I would also get rid of the top engine as well, or at least build it into the hull. And maybe get rid of the two smaller wings underneath, or at least angle them differently. Also give the cockpit a bigger neck

The A-10 and B-17 had a baby and it joined the space force.

That is extremely blursed. It's like the love child of an A-10, a B-17, a Y-Wing, a TIE/D, and a B-Wing.

Its like someone made a ship out of a mind map. And decided that all suggestions should go in.

Y-Wings also had Proton Torpedoes and missiles, the former being lethal to capital ships and the other being pretty deadly against anything smaller than a heavy cruiser.

In a universe where there are droids, Star Destroyers and Death Stars some kind of guided munitions should be possible. Which still leaves a fragile bomber only suitable for bombing moisture farms though.

Delta Squad? Nah, as fun as that would be, we need a live action adaptation of the books in the big screen. It’s time for Omega Squad to shine. And Delta can come in later.

I think any hopes of a live action movie focused on Clones has come and gone. Unless they do that de-aging thing to Morrison.
