My guess is the 1 skill pilot will cost 26 points and the 9 skill will be 56. This is of course with no upgrades. I can't even begin to speculate how much those might add up to be.

I wonder how Luke being a gunner is going to work. We he not be available to pilot an X-Wing at the same time? It would only make sense.
Well, there could be a Luuke Skywalker card out there. . . . . On second thought, that wold be a bad idea, since it would bring the EU into the game waaaay too early. :) Let's leave the game the way it is . . . . for now.
Wave 1: Wave 2:
4 X-Wings 1 Millennium Falcon (YT-1300)
3 Y-Wings 3 A-Wings
6 TIE Fighters 1 Slave 1 (Firespray-31)
2 TIE Advanced 3 TIE Interceptor

1. I'm assuming the fourth pilot card will be 'YT-1300 Captain' or something to that effect. A generic pilot.
2. I'm pleased that Nien Nunb is an upgrade and not an actual pilot.
3. For reasons I can not properly explain, I am displeased that Luke is an upgrade. I feel as if they wanted to do that scenario, they could have provided additional rules for that in the scenario itself. He was not a full-time turret gunner, and to my memory, he never sat in the chair again throughout the Expanded Universe. My fluff-oriented mind will probably just have to find some way to wrap around it.
1. I'm thinking the same thing. Either that or it will be C-3PO or Leia.
2. I agree. I think there will also be a Chewie co-pilot.
3. I like Luke as an upgrade. I understand what you meant about the scenario thing, but for those of us who enjoy tournament play more, we still have a chance to put Luke in the turret chair if we want to. I'm sure there will be other options for the turrets if you don't want to use Luke. No he wasn't a full time turret gunner, but he won't be in this game either. Just an option if you want that in your squad.

I hate to be that guy, but he does a lot of gunnery in the falcon. For instance leaving Coruscant at the end of Dark Journey. (Convenient example since I finished it yesterday, can give you some more if you like. )

When I first heard about Luuke, I thought it was some sort of internet joke. The best they could come up with for a clone of Luke Skywalker was Luuke Skywalker? Really?
Maarek Stele is already in the game. The EU seal has been broken! Time to plan for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

The EU content is already in the game: Maarek Stele, as well as some other tidbits. There are plenty other reasons to not want to have Luuke, or any other of those double-vowel nuisances.

No reason to hate being that guy. It doesn't really alter my opinion much, though, because he's typically a gunner aboard the ship as a condition of whatever circumstance. Which, I suppose is probably fine for most people, I'm just peculiar in that way. I do hope that we don't have Luke using the force to operate the turret while he's in his X-Wing, if you get my drift.

That we can agree on. I'm going to assume the card is named Luke Skywalker and has a dot on it, conveniently preventing one from having both of them in play. Anything else would just be cheesy.
Don't you dare try to limit Luke Skywalker that way. Everyone knows that by the end of the EU period, he was every single pilot of Red Squadron. Yep, that's right…flying twelve X-Wings by himself. That's just how awesome he is!
And I do hope that one of the Millenium Falcon upgrade cards is called "It's Not My Fault!"
we also need an upgrade card for "come on baby hold together " and "I've been trying to tell you the hyperdrive has been disabled "
lets face it this is going to be awesome and the must buy ship for 99% of X wing players
I like the idea of luke in a turret great for sceanrios and the flexiablity of card upgrades is very nice
for the EU fan boys they could release a set of upgrade cards and pilots just for that
