Loving this though!
My time has come!
Same squad, jyn lead for TW and admiral raddus for GA?
For more buff like that.
It also allows me to actually gear up my old RogueOne toons without regretting it. I never did the Ackbar/rebels fleet with Bistan, so I've got Bistan, SRPf, and Phoenix all below g12. If I'm taking more of Rogue1 to relic, I might as well include those two and beef up my Rebels fleet.
Of course, those come after Inquisitors and Malgus, so... not necessarily instantly. The only real good thing here is that they don't require any Kyros outside of the g12-finisher piece.
We're going to get Antoc Merrick's X-Wing before Red Five.
Now do the Mon Calmari with the dope cable-knit sweater in season 2 of Mandalorian!
CG: Don't worry! We're going to take one of the fleets that can actually be filled and split it into two half-fleets!
Most characters with blasters share a Basic with other characters. Not sure about since Marauder. (Also why Marauder? His basic might be the same as Sid but his special’s definitely unique.)
They're also technically incorrect, as Piett has minor retools of pre-existing animations, and Omega shares 2/3 animations with Nightsister Acolyte. Additionally, while not a character animation, the particle animation for "hope" and Blue Squadron Air Support is unique to Raddus.
However, they do bring up an interesting point: between animation reuses and the number of spelling errors in this kit reveal, Raddus feels somewhat.... Sloppy. It's like they didn't really care about him and just put him in to fill out a quota, even though his kit is unique among rebels, it just seems to be missing that something that previous releases have. He doesn't even have unique character art! They just reuse a promotional image of him, and the character model is the completely wrong colour (for his jacket)
I didn't realize about omega. She looked unique to me, but now that you mention it, I see it. And yes, he does look kind of sloppy. I am thinking this is more of a piett situation. He is a good a good character, but he is intended for the capital ship. there is no way they aren't adding the profundity at some point.
