Today's new video clip is the Star Wars: Imperial Assault Overview-Gen Con 2014. Star Wars: Imperial Assault is a strategy board game of tactical combat and missions for two to five players, offering two distinct games of battle and adventure in the Star Wars universe! Imperial Assault puts you in the midst of the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire after the destruction of the Death Star over Yavin 4. In this game, you and your friends can participate in two separate games. The campaign game pits the limitless troops and resources of the Galactic Empire against a crack team of elite Rebel operatives as they strive to break the Empire’s hold on the galaxy, while the skirmish game invites you and a friend to muster strike teams and battle head-to-head over conflicting objectives. In the campaign game, Imperial Assault invites you to play through a cinematic tale set in the Star Wars universe. One player commands the seemingly limitless armies of the Galactic Empire, threatening to extinguish the flame of the Rebellion forever. Up to four other players become heroes of the Rebel Alliance, engaging in covert operations to undermine the Empire’s schemes. Over the course of the campaign, both the Imperial player and the Rebel heroes gain new experience and skills, allowing characters to evolve as the story unfolds. Imperial Assault offers a different game experience in the skirmish game. In skirmish missions, you and a friend compete in head-to-head, tactical combat. You’ll gather your own strike force of Imperials, Rebels, and Mercenaries and build a deck of command cards to gain an unexpected advantage in the heat of battle. Whether you recover lost holocrons or battle to defeat a raiding party, you’ll find danger and tactical choices in every skirmish. As an additional benefit, the Luke Skywalker Ally Pack and the Darth Vader Villain Pack are included within the Imperial Assault Core Set. These figure packs offer sculpted plastic figures alongside additional campaign and skirmish missions that highlight both Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader within Imperial Assault. With these Imperial Assault Figure Packs, you'll find even more missions that allow your heroes to fight alongside these iconic characters from the Star Wars saga. Enjoy! | |

| New Dish For The Millennium Falcon | |
In recent days, new images from the Episode VII shoot in England have arisen. Many of these images are now providing a close-up look at the base, Millennium Falcon, and new X-wings. One thing that I think has slipped through the cracks however is the new dish on the Millennium Falcon! In Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Lando is piloting the Falcon on the Death Star 2 raid over Endor. As he is navigating his way through the interior on his attack run toward the core, he clips a beam and the dish is ripped off of the ship. Fast forward to today, and I like many others I'm sure assumed the same style of dish would be replaced and the Millennium Falcon would rise again in Episode VII with all it's glory! Apparently this isn't the case. Below are some of the set images at different angles and I have circled the area on the Millennium Falcon where the dish is located. Notice that it is now a rectangular shape! It will have to grow on me a little. Where could this replacement have come from? Well, being the Millennium Falcon is a Corellian ship, it is safe to say that parts from other Corellian ships would be interchangeable. Notice in the image of the Tantive IV from A New Hope below. It is the same dish! What do you think? Be sure to let us know! Click on the images below for a larger view.
