I don't like that the Mandalorian flies around in a Naboo N-1 starfighter. It just doesn't make sense to me.

First, in universe, he is a bounty hunter, or at least, he was until he got sidetracked by this quai-messianic quest to restore the Jedi and the Mandalorians and defeat the Empire. Anyway, what exactly is a bounty hunter going to do with a starfighter? How is he supposed to transport bounties? It's dumb. Second, still in universe, the mechanic who gave it to him barely knows him. He basically got her to babysit, and now she is just going to give him a vintage Naboo starfighter? I don't care what condition it is in, that is like giving away a barn-find Ferrari California (knowing what it is) to some guy who almost ran over you in a supermarket parking lot. In fact, in my head, the engines should have been missing anyway since they famously achieved very high environmental standards and would have been the most valuable parts. Hell, Qui-Gon had to put the entire Royal Starship on the table just to get Watto to part with a hyperdrive.

Alright, now not in universe, it's just fan service. That is all Disney is nowadays. "Oh, look. It's a Naboo starfighter. 'Member Naboo starfighters. Anakin had a Naboo starfighter. *Gasp* is the Mandalorian the new Anakin?" Stop it. It's not clever. It's dumb. The Razor Crest is a good looking ship, and a unique ship. I mean, it is if you ignore that it is basically just a redesign of Jaster Mereel/Jango Fett's ship, Jaster's Legacy. But giving him a Naboo starfighter is just boring and lazy.

So, I took it on myself to redesign his starfighter. I am a fan of Uglies in universe, as anyone who looks through the rest of my stuff can see. I still can't justify him having a starfighter, but if he must have a starfighter to save the galaxy then this is the one I would make for him. Like, I said, the mechanic probably only has the stripped out fuselage and no wings or engines, otherwise, someone would have come by with a trailer and bought it by now. So, it needs some wings. Now, the Mandalorian has a thing about droids, but the mechanic just so happens to have a wrecked droid trifighter in the yard with the engines still attached. Absolutely, no one would ever come by wanting to purchase it, so she bolts a pair of wings onto the Naboo starfighter fuselage she has. The Mandalorian is deeply concerned about that. It is droid stuff after all, and specifically droid stuff from the Separatists that almost killed him as a kid. The mechanic has to reassure him that she is basically having to install entirely new equipment and completely rewire the thing, plus the droid brain is long missing, probably destroyed. He reluctantly accepts because he needs transport, pays her, and leaves in the new starfighter. It is fast but a very temperamental beast. The engines have a tendency to misfire, and it refuses to fly a straight line unless you have the stick in hand. But he eventually discovers that in a dogfight it can pull incredible maneuvers that give him a serious advantage, spraying blaster fire all over the place before unloading the two big laser cannons into his target. The proton torpedo launcher was missing, so it has been replaced with a slow-cycling, short-range ion cannon.

I can paint better than this, but I wanted to get it done. I also really couldn't decide on a paint scheme. I really didn't want to just go all chrome like the show. In the end, I just made the wings the original blue and then dry brushed them to look really rough. It looked really dark and really dull, so I added the yellow stripes to reference back to the original Naboo paint scheme. I think that really brought the whole thing together. Oh, and I really need to learn how to paint cockpit canopies, 'cause this just doesn't work.

Printed it large because I wanted to.

Hyperspace: A new format for playing X-Wing with 4 new scenarios. I haven't playtested yet; I'm just trying to get a sense of whether everything makes sense. If you have a moment, please download it and let me know what you think. Cheers!

Hey everyone! I just picked this up to play with my 9 year old. We’re big fans of the Star Wars Unlimited TCG and we saw a group playing this at our FLGS and of course my son was very intrigued. I would love your recommendation on the best online tutorial. There’s a lot of content on YouTube (some outdated) and I’m having trouble finding a good introduction that is both easy to follow and covers 2.0.

Incoming Message from XWA High Command!

Something new is approaching from the outer rim… and today, we’re finally ready to share the news!

We’re excited to announce an upcoming pack release, and we’re kicking things off with our very first preview!

What’s in store? What new surprises are waiting in the hangar? And what does this mean for future squad building??

🔥 Our first preview starts TODAY! 🔥

Keep your eyes on your scanners, gather your squadron, and get ready to see what’s coming next. The galaxy is about to get a little more interesting!

May the Force be with you, pilots!

Often the rare ships to buy/sell are not the obvious ones like Millenium Falcon or Luke Skywalker xD
Which are the ones who are selling at a high price nowadays?

The box is open and has been repaired, I'd be happy to provide more photographs to anyone interested in the condition. All other components are practically NM.

It's a Spanish edition as it was purchased in that country.

I'd be looking for £120 for it with the buyer covering postage costs, I can get quotes varying on the country but as an example, the UK postage would cost about £21.80 via Royal Mail. Any potential import costs upon arrival would be the responsibility of the buyer.

A sale would be far easier within the European area as I'm afraid postage to the US would be egregiously expensive.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested.

A blogger is never late; he posts precisely when he means to!

Im impressed with how many people are asking for v1.0 cards and tokens. Is 1.0 that valuable this days? Poeple want it to play the first version or is a "completing collection" thing?

When we look around the different marketplaces (ebay, facebook, vinted, etc) its hard to find the "right price" for a ship. They differ very much between platforms and its not so easy to calculate the final value you will get as a seller.

What strategies do you guys use to find a good range of price to sell a ship?

“Our initial motivation to bring flyers to the game . . . ”

(was because we had to kill X-Wing)

Sorry couldn’t help it that was what immediately popped into my head as he said that 😂

Seriously, very excited for this (but my wallet is suddenly crying out in terror as at least a thousand dollars goes flying out the window)

Better believe I’ll be playing a gigantic version of X-Wing at some point ❤️

Most of the selling market I find in internet are happening in the US. Selling from Europe means more expensive shipping and extra burocracy. Is there a comunnity of X-Wing that buys/sells x-wing in here? Suggestions of other places to sell my collection inside europe?
Thanks guys

Had further thoughts on this with a bit of internet inspiration and people’s comments on here so thanks if you replied.

5 players using a 90x90 Death Star mat with 3x turbo laser turrets.

Round 1-3

1p X Wing (Luke Skywalker)

2p X Wing (Jek Porkins)

3p Y Wing (Dutch Vander)

4p & 5p take turns using the Imperial turbo laser turrets

The Y Wing player positioned to make a trench run at the exhaust port.

The X Wings to cut across their axis and draw their fire attacking the turbo laser turrets.

After 3 rounds the Rebel players notice the guns have stopped and are warned to check their sensors for enemy fighters heading their way.

4p 1 x Tie Fighter (Night Beast) - respawned if destroyed with other pilots.

5p 1 x Tie Advanced (Darth Vader)

Rounds 4-8 are the trench run - if the Y Wing is destroyed then any surviving X Wing can start their run.

If the Death Star exhaust port suffers a critical or two hits in one attack then it starts the chain reaction that will destroy the battle station.

If the Imperials can hold off the Rebels to the end of Round 8 then the Death Star is able to successfully destroy the Rebel base on Yavin.

Hope this sounds feasible!

Might do Aces High type game initially then launch into the Attack on the Death Star scenario so everyone gets used to the ships and everything they have to do on their turn.

Might homebrew the rules on the trench and also the turbo laser turrets.

Amy comments/ideas welcome for the 5p bash for newbies. I want to strip the game a bit and simplify but keep the Star Wars - Original Trilogy theme going.

Just found my starter, want to give it a try with my wife but found out its not being supported anymore. Cant get New ships?

I’ve got a V2 starter, a Rebel Alliance starter, a Galactic Empire starter, the Battle of Yavin, a Death Star mat (90x90), a starfield mat (90x90) and three Death Star Turrets (one pictured).

I’ve played V1, none of us have ever played v2 or v2.5 so I need a teaching game and then perhaps a thematic mission using the components I have collected previously but not played.

Any cool suggestions as how to set this up best for five players? Everyone is an adult (in fact an old fart!) but all non board game types so I don’t want loads of complexity really.

Cheers in advance for any ideas!

Thank you, to u/philpursglove for his support in development and testing everything in this release.

Anyone sell them?

Can someone help me understand this rule? I believe it is for the 2.5 version of the rules. The scenarios say that you start off with points equal to your opponent’s deficit. This doesn’t make sense to me. If your opponent has less than the agreed upon point value, shouldn’t your opponent be the one to get back those extra points in his score?

Hi all,

It’s come to my attention that X-wing rules we are using, updated as of 2023 and located here are actually the rules for the 2.5 version.

My son and I are playing the 2.0 version and some rules we discovered are different, like whether or not you can fire at range zero. Is there an official 2.0 rule book somewhere?
