Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

| | 12/06/2005 11:57 AM | Alert | | Nym is from Jedi Starfighter video game series. He's unique and blue. In the works hasn't ever advertised Star Wars and I don't know why. Heck Nym was mentioned in a post by Rob in the SWM forum. He aslo gave out two other hints. It was a post (rather funny) about point costing and just evolved to a little hint dropper as well. | |

When I heard he was Blue I was thinking of one of Thrawn's people. I'm kinda hoping we get some generic Chiss fringer. | |

| | 12/07/2005 6:06 AM | Alert | Now I remember, I indeed played the Jedi Starfighter game (not that great, but I just had bought an xbox console and I needed a SW game...).
I don't get how this would make for an interesting mini... ?! ...especially one that is previewed / leaked so early. Is that supposed to build up the hype?!
Cheers

Yeah! We need a Vader- That would build the hype.
I could just see the text- "You thought Darth Vader, Jedi Hunter was broken? Well, just check out Lord Vader, Bounty Hunter Master..."

Nope.
Building the hype is actually all about: re-posed Princess Leia, Captive...
[:I]
Other than that, well, we have as many clues about Champions as about BH... which is somewhere around nothing. And the WotC site contents is as dynamic as a dead bantha. I know it's early to get previews for both sets, but we deserve some serious official news from time to time... give us a "endor pack" preview, a weekly article, something...

Anthony Daniels commented on a similar thing from his position... uh, behind. Sadly, he said it did nothing for C3PO. [:0]
Of course, I have seen a certain C3PO old school Star Wars Trading Card that begs to differ [}:)]

Oh, I have seen those and nearly picked some up... but unfortunately I don't paint, and the local painter is severly backlogged.
In a similar vein, some enterprising individuals have taken to making X-rated Heroclix customs (repainted with an excessive use of flesh [)]) | | | |

Nym is the super-cool space pirate from SW Starfighter and its sequal Jedi Starfighter.
Yeah that builds up hype...Expanded Universe rules.
Im excited to hear it....Sure beats the heck out of a resculpt of a character we have 3 times already. | |
