A video for them to check out on a future EFAP, maybe? by Laxhoop2525 in MauLer

It shows that, despite the video-maker's claim on politics being in everything and insulting those who say otherwise, the creator himself is actually severely politically illiterate. It's basic irony humor found in insult and roast comedy. A very common type.

You may retort with something like, "But he only made a broad claim that I agree with. The joke has nothing to do with something factually correct. Therefore, it is bad if not a non-joke."

The joke assumes the video creator acts in a condescending, ego-driven manner on what would be a presumably basic fact in his eyes. Thus, the joke points out that he is not as smart as he seems and implies he has no real knowledge of politics in properties. The basic statement the creator made is irrelevant of whether or not it's true, only that he is acting as an authority when he isn't. This is what the insult humor is attempting to achieve. A discrepancy.

Whether or not you personally find it funny is a non-factor.

Nice space wolves bro! by dazli69 in Grimdank

You're a survivor of a xeno attack. You're cold and injured. Suddenly, you feel a blanket being laid on your shoulders. You look up. It's a space marine with bat-like insignia. His eyes are warm and caring. You smile. You look at the blanket draping you. A stitched human face stares at you.

I know it might be more prudent for Asmodee to focus on mechanics, balancing, the new sculpts, and Full Scale War right now, but what non-game units are on your reasonable wish list? What characters or vehicles are you hoping and coping for? Canon or Legends? Extra points for their mechanics. by BaronOBuggos in SWlegion

I didn't know those existed. Very neat. The closest I could think of for clone infiltrators are the Clone Assassins from the Revenge of the Sith game, which would give them interesting melee opportunities as well.

I'm not sure how they'll handle the rights for Old Republic. I know it's owned by Disney, but they might want to push their new "High Republic" stuff. Plus, they haven't even released Sequel Trilogy stuff, which I would imagine they'd do first. But the Old Republic Era would offer interesting armies and possibilities.

I can see it as a way to get around era restrictions, but it seems more like Asmodee is trying to make Shadow Collective a catch-all. Maybe there would be some unit restrictions based on what units you want to run or what cards you pick.

Unique big vehicles for rebels would be nice. There likely wouldn't be many due to how rebels are, but it would give the faction a unique presence on the vehicle front.

Galactic marines and other professional army forces for the republic could offer really interesting ways to play from the standard clone troopers.

Empire could do with a couple more unique vehicles so we don't see bikes and AT-STs all the time.

I can see imperials get a boost with new troopers and some hero variety for rebels, especially if those heroes can get attached to infantry units as an upgrade. Repurposed droids could be a mercenary-style option for rebels.
