TB-61231 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hi, I found a picture today with some Scouts were the second and third from the left side are carrying E-11 Blasters, and cause I thought there is not one reference for that, I think maybe someone could be interested in it. Im not sure if it could work for a CRL adding, but maybe some fellow Scouts would like to carry an E-11 and are interested in an official looking reference for it.

Retrofire Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Good find Joshua. The E-11 is pretty much the standard blaster rifle of the Empire and it’s not surprising that we see some scouts carrying it. I’ve trooped with an E-11 more than a few times in my scout and as long as your GML doesn’t have an issue there’s no problem if you would also like to carry one.

TB-61231 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 It should be from the Doctor Aphra Comic series or any similar where she appears, so it should be canon and I saw it on the Star Wars fandom wiki site. Scout trooper | Wookieepedia | Fandom And yes, it should not be any problem on troops, but I didnt want to carry it without any source and this is the first official source I saw a Scout with an E-11. I think the other art pictures you can find are not official. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Thanks! I don't really follow the comics, so I appreciate the research. I'll speak with the team and see what we can do to make this official. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on wookipedia as canon but apparently its only appeared on the mobile platform games so ive been led to believe it cant be used . certainly aint on the crl 😞 Rather confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-61231 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 I looked after the E-11s after your post and I found that it is also used in the old Battlefront 2 for example. The game isn't canon but for a CRL the Canon-Status isn't important as long as I know. The canon-status could be important on some events when it is said by your local Garrison but it is also the question how hard they look on thing like weapons and co. I think a problem with the E-11s could be the look. I found different looks of teh rifle while the Scout Trooper version in Battlefront 2 (2005) and potentially also the old Battlefront 1 seams to be similar to the Dlt-19x. The Piture should be from one of the old Battlefronts. The macrobinoculars are also something that could fit in the Scout Trooper Crl. 20 hours ago, TreeHuggerMatt said: had the same idea with the e-11s sniper / lrb.

TreeHuggerMatt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @TB-61231 id seen it on YouTube originally after reading the scout wookiepedia page and it’s seemingly mostly been used in the mobile platform star wars games in terms of visual sources https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/E-11s_sniper_rifle The info there suggests it’s been an issue for scout snipers at some point. 3D Props on YouTube has built a few and has a video on it that’s worth a look Also his page is here https://www.3d-props.com/3d-files/e-11s-r1-files/ Not a massive deal if it’s not allowed but as a newbie I ain’t gonna push but as I read the criteria it seems it could be. i just thought it looked really cool lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-61231 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 @TreeHuggerMatt Yeah, i saw this look, too. It looks not like the old Battlefront variant. I don't have to decide anything like this either but I would say you could probably try it with a pic from the game (I don't know how the mobile game looks) which shows a Scout with this variant of the rifle.

TreeHuggerMatt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I’ve just bashed up my heel slipping down my stairs so I have plenty of time to waste so I might to find footage of the game showing it. the video that 3D props has on his YT channel mentions the game , doesn’t specially say it was a scout weapon in the video but from what wookipedia says it suggests it is. Good shout re the binocs as well mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Can’t find any images other than what’s on wookipedia for a scout using it. oh well. Was worth a try But yeah like you said there is more than one type of e-11s. That one and the one that’s more like the sky-19x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Guys -- Wookiepedia is not a canon source. Also the old Battlefront games are now Legends, so no longer canon. Video game loadouts are also not always canon, as they tend not to be particular to one character but can be used by several. We discussed the E-11 and there's just no desire to add it to the CRL. And honestly, if it were up to me, the DLTs wouldn't be on there either, as they were not used in "Return of the Jedi". All this stuff happened when there wasn't as much Star Wars as there is now. Now we have things coming at us from every direction and often from sources that are not as close to LFL as we'd prefer. Did someone at LFL say "let's give the Scouts E-11 because that's a direction we want to take the character in" or did some comic book penciller who doesn't know the lore as well as we all do just draw them because that's a gun he's familiar with? I guess I have to ask -- what's wrong with the EC-17? That's the Scout blaster, specially made for us by the production team of ROTJ. We feeling a little laser envy? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Fair point boss. Just me asking daft questions cos I don’t know any different at the moment.

Get your point totally as it happens , Was just curious as it looks really cool. No problem! I know there's a lot to learn when you're first starting out. And different troops have different levels of canon. Some are CRL enforced, like LFL events, and some are a little looser, like Conventions. Just always check with your Garrison if you are unsure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Gotta admit I do get a bit carried away when I find a project I wanna get my teeth in and this combines my love off all things Star Wars with the fun of playing the character and mostly being able to help and make people smile as the visits and events etc would be a big part for me. There’s nothing wrong with just getting started , get it sorted , get cleared and start trooping. I can’t wait to get involved 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! This is the attitude I like. There is so much to learn, but it really helps to get the basics down first and go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-61231 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Nothing wrong with the EC-17! I just thought the idea is cool to have a greater choice of what you can carry and interact with during a troop. But I totally agree that especially video games and their loadouts could be a thin line. And it don't have all to be in a CRL. The canon thing is as I could see not this important for a CRL (for example I thought the DLT-19x is canon as imperial sniper and the DLT-20a not so much) but as @BikerScout007 said it is a point that is decided for events in your local garrison (there could also be an event where no weapon is allowed).

The DLT-20a was what was actually used in the game, that's why it got added. I'm not so sure what the reasoning behind the DLT-19x was. But again, if it were up to me I would keep it strictly film canon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-61231 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 The DLT-19x is used for example in the new Battlefront 2. Return of the Jedi is really just EC-17 (and the Duffel Bag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and that's the way I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeHuggerMatt Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Its great that we can all have a respectful discussion about stuff 😀 The weird twist for me is that shadow scout is 99% the same uniform but gets a wider choice of blasters but wasnt in a film as far as I know. Could be wrong but its all new learning for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just say that with all the Star Wars coming out, there has been a movement toward walling off the Original Trilogy characters and I am definitely of that mindset.
