Thrawn Trilogy spoiler this episode, btw

ADDENDUM:

Thanks to the help of the lovely folks on the Saga Edition Discord, we want to clarify one thing:

  • MISSILES CRIT AT VEHICLE SCALE BUT NOT AT CHARACTER SCALE, BECAUSE AT VEHICLE SCALE THEY ARE SINGLE TARGET ATTACKS AND NOT AREA ATTACKS


I know what you're thinking: "Sequel title? Really?" We promise this one won't be just a rehashing of our fourth episode. We really break down dark side rules and alternatives to them, as well as a surprise email from a special little boy! Once again thank you for listening, and thank you to ChampionCorn for reviewing us on Apple Podcasts!
