Rey (Scavenger) being the pilot would be funny. The collective brains exploding from a lot of players would be awesome.

You think it's a coincidence that Meat's post shows "Resistance" even though Set 5 doesn't in the game?

Well it’s interesting because the only time Luke’s x-wing was called Red 5 was during the Battle of Yavin. He was Rogue Squadron One at the beginning of E5, and he took off and Wedge took over so his x-wing became just Luke’s taxi one. Then he turned it into a boat anchor.

If you open up the spoilers for the stats you'll see that the "R" in resistance is red, the "E" in resistance is red, the "D" in critical damage is red, and the "5% for the max health is highlighted in red.

It's a pretty clear sign.

I wonder which version of Luke the pilot will be?

I hope it’s farmboy and R2 pilots

It cant be Farmboy, he doesnt requred 500 kyrotechs and 250 carbantis.

Emperor Palpatine wasn’t called Palpatine during the entire OT. Still, it’s the name they use in game for the OT version.

Granted, “Palpatine” wasn’t used in the movies, but neither was Rogue Squadron One. He still WAS Emperor Palpatine.

I just agree that I hope it’s not a new Luke.

In my day "confirmed" actually meant something.

yeah.. fck this clickbait headline.. anhald use confirmed all the time in his videos.. Maybe people should look up what CONFIRMED means :D

Yes, there needs to be a Rebel GL but I don't think it will be Luke as we already have a GL version of Luke. I think far more logical would be a Rebel GL Leia. Possibly in he Endor costume then she could double up with Ewoks, too. After all, Lord Vader gives bonuses to Empire and DS Unaligned Force Users, so why not Leia giving bonuses to Rebels and Ewoks? That's what my money is on, anyway.
As for Red 5, it would make no sense at all for it to be any version of Luke that we already have other than Farmboy. It has to be Farmboy Luke and R2-D2 or a new Luke with R2-D2.
Personally, I want them to return to the original trilogy era and bring out loads more Rebels and Imperials of all kinds. More Red squadron pilots so you have have a complete X-Wing squad would be fantastic; more TIE pilots, too, the two who flanked Vade rin the Battle Of Yavin for example. Not to mention loads more ground forces. There's a lot of scope for expaniosn in the Original Trilogy which they're ignoring right now.

Oh yes, GL UFU Leia please

Red 5 was confirmed months ago just not the release date. Hope it is Farmboy Luke and they dont come out with another version of Luke.

Hopefully it's the best version of Red 5:
