Just something fun I was working on. Changes have been underlined. Given that Ben was protecting Luke for quite a while, I wanted to represent that in their kits. Plus make 2 outdated units a tad better, Farmboy Luke especially.
Main team I had in mind for 5v5 situations with these 2 was a Gl Leia Organa Rebel team. I did consider adding Burning to Farmboy Luke's kit at some point as well for better synergy with Leia, but then I remembered what happened to his family in "A New Hope"... Didn't seem appropriate after that.
Feedback is, as always, appreciated.

    Glad ya like it and got the references. Took some effort, but it was worth it just for the chuckle.

  • This makes a lot of sense, both gameplay-wise and lore-wise.

    The Confuse mechanic when Old Ben is defeated got a chuckle out of me; Darth Vader was confused when there was no body

    Luke gaining Jedi's Will feels like foreshadowing to his ultimate destiny

    Thanks. The abilities and omicrons are already in bold thou so I fear that could be confusing. I might try Italic or Underlined text thou. Will experiment with a few things, see what works best.

    I am aware of dosman2233. I've responded to a few of his works before. Still, the shoutout was nice.

  • Very good!

    And it is better to highlight in BOLD what you added in such reworks. Like dosman2233 does, for example. I advise you to read it. His ideas are very good.
