Howlrunner is a girl!
Published on 17 October 2012 - 12:40:55

 This came up early on when it was first revealed that Howlrunner would be one of the pilots. However, I've seen many posts on this forum lately that refer to Howlrunner as "he," so I wanted to set the record straight that Howlrunner was indeed a female Imperial pilot.

Great. She can kill the Witch King.

Just adds more fluff and flavor to the game. Thanks for the research!

 Hoping for a Mara Jade card if they do the Z-95.

Yep! I was looking up all the TIE pilots to see if they were all canon pilots and found out about Howlrunner as well.

Amazing how much backstory a character can get in the EU for just having her TIE fly by the screen once in one of the movies.

… Some people juggle geese.

With Howlrunner being a girl, maybe my daughter will pick up the reins of the Imps.

 Is it not strange that the faction that is depicted in the fiction as being anti-alien and anti-women's equality has the only in game woman pilot?

 

Perhaps the rebels have thier own gender issues to work through?

Are they anti-women? I'm semi-familiar with the EU, but never ran across that particular tidbit.

"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us."   Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol

I did, in fact, laugh out loud at this.

LoTR LCG crossover?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
