Luke
Skywalker, Force Spirit
New Republic
No Stats
Speed 4; Light Spirit
History has been made today. For the first time
since we started the reviews, we are kicking off a
new set by NOT reviewing Darth Vader. Its kinda hard
when he isnt even in the set. So instead we are do
Skywalker week and kick it off with dead Luke.
It is pretty sad when the best Luke we have to date
is a ghost, but so he is. It is pretty simple he is
basically Obi-Wan FS with one MAJOR exception (okay
two if you count faction). Where Obi is very
restrictive with his speed 2, Luke's speed 4 makes
him much muck easier to tag along with his partner.
Being able to move 8 and not have to worry about
terrain and walls means he can be attached to a
melee Jedi if you so choose.
The force renewal and mettle can be big if attached
to the right character, and now we have lots of New
Republic choices to choose from as well as any one
fringe. You will either attach him for the renewal
or mettle. Seldom will you take advantage of both in
a single character unless the have evade or parry
(or face something with lots of saves).
100pts: Here i am not going to say he cannot be
used, but to be honest, I dont see him being used
much here, just because most of your choices are not
going to do well in 100.
150/200pts: He works well in either of these. He is
by no means a must, but as i said, he can be handy
for mettle to characters with evade (aka bithed
Mara, Jedi), or characters that need renewal because
they burn FP fast (aka Thursday's character ;)). He
is as solid as Obi, but that speed 4 makes a huge
difference.
