So I'm messing around with this ridiculous super-Horton build. The key is slow-rolling, and hanging well behind a front line of close-range brawlers/blockers. I haven't played it vs non-me competition yet, and it's only showing middling results. But fodder for thought:
Horton
BTL-A4
TLT
R2-D2
Bomb slot
Extra Munitions
Conner Net
Speaking of slow rolling, how about BB-8 there? Just stay calm and barrel roll.

I messed around with this on an ABT Warthog Gold. Haven't found the right situation to activate it yet.
2 green maneuvers do not a fun bb-8 make
Horton, TLT, EU is better than R2D2.
Arc dodging is better than regenning shields here. It's a PS8 pilot after all that can make good use of movement. He can avoid people getting to range 1 this way, and has Rerolls for his TLT attacks. If you want to invest a point more, give him R2 or R5.
R7-T1 is even better! Dutch never leaves home with out it.
I still think Horton w/ R2-D6, Marksman, Extra Munitions, and Proton Torpedoes does well. It's hard to avoid the approach. You can almost always get someone in arc at R3. Horton will almost always do 4 damage, with a good chance of a crit. He can do it twice. Do that twice to someone in the first few turns and you can win the game. Have Wedge and Horton fire at the same target and it's not going to do well that round.

Funny. I tried this last night having never thought of it before.
I've been having success with this of late:
Horton (TLT + R2-D6 + Marksmanship + BTL-A4)
Miranda (TLT + R2-D2)
Biggs (R4-D6)
Not sure it's ultra competitive, but I've played 4 games with it now and not lost. Biggs is the only ship that's died, it kicks out enough shots that by the time he goes down there's not a lot left to fight usually.
I think its a pretty good list, but as i said i'd go for EU on Horton and probably for C3PO on Miranda instead of Artoo!
I'm not really a fan of C-3PO on Miranda, he does nothing for you in a fight against other TLTs. R2-D2 on the other hand means you can potentially regen 2 shields a turn and completely tank through an enemy TLT in the endgame.
