Good question. The WOTC thread suggests that these new "Unleashed" feats have formidable mojo indeed, but they burn Destiny Points.

Literally chopping an AT-AT in half is a rather over-the-top manner of visualizing vehicle vs. Jedi combat, but I'd imagine a 20th level Jedi can tear through an AT-AT pretty handily.

It's only an AT-ST. An AT-AT would make mincemeat out of even a 30th level jedi!

Bah. We'll see when the actual game games out. I so hope I can crush an AT-AT. If he's able to pull a star destroyer out of orbit, one walker shouldn't be much of threat

Like when some dumb farm kid grapples up to it, cuts it open, then blows it up with explosives?

He must have been 40th level.

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?"

The amount of cool in some of these new sourcebooks (at least, in regards to the types of Star Wars campaigns I want to run) is starting to make me reconsider my loyalty to the RCR...though I suppose the systems are similar enough that I could just do some conversion.

Didn't stop Luke in Empire!

from Hammerhead: He must have been 40th level.

And that's why, just prior to this, that Wampa totally kicked his ass (before he finally got the upper hand, anyways).

Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my mind. If Luke can take down an AT-AT alone, without using any significant Force powers, I doubt a Jedi would have serious problems with one.

Hopefully I should have my copy in the next few days. Looks like I would have had it sooner, except the online retailer I went through decided to wait until other stuff I pre-ordered showed up, despite clear instructions to ship the stuff as soon as it became available *roll eyes*

Not sure what you're asking -- it's a supplement for the Star Wars Saga Edition rules ,not a separate game book -- unless I misunderstood you?
