I love this game so its not like its a make or break issue , but i would not mind some clarity from cg on this.

100% agree.

it doesnt' state he gets the first action. it only states he gets a bonus turn, which is 100% TM. they should word it differently if they have the intent of making him take the first action. much like how they changed GMY description.

He gets a bonus turn at the START. Not the after everyone else goes. Also,

Is the start of the encounter the 4th turn?
Finally, i want to see nihileus eating a cheeseburger

Multiple things happen at the start of the encounter, where is it stated that Han is the first to go at the start of the encounter. It's not stated that way, which is why I am just saying I think its WAD. I would love for it to be different and only coin toss with another Han, but they would have to explain the intent in some way different than the current description.

Now I cant get it out of my head, he turns around in the opening scene for the Sith raid, and takes an aggressive bite of a hamburger, throws it down and points his saber at you.

I think they need to address this either way. Even if it is just to change the description. If the bonus turn is just 100% tm they should just change it to say that.

Agreed, but there is no other way in game to take a turn, so bonus turn and 100% are 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

They have a way to bypass the coin flip though as seen with the change made to thrawn. If they worded it as gains 100% tm at the start of the encounter, it would make it clear that they don't intend him to bypass the coin flip.

How else do you take a turn in this game?

If someone said, my toon takes his turn then another one goes, would you think of any other way that could happen other than 100% TM.

They do have things to bypass that, and if they worded that he should go first or take the first action or anything other than just taking a bonus turn, I would agree. But a bonus is just a free turn, at the start of an encounter. Other things happen at the start of an encounter, including full TM of other toons. The only way multiple toons trying to take their turn is resolved is through a coin flip.

They could word it differently if they wanted him to not be caught in that mechanism, or code it to operate however they intend, we have seen this. Maybe they will change it maybe they will not, but it will most likely be accompanied by a description change to make it clear the intention that he is not subject to the coin flip because right now he is WAD.
