So my wife plays X-Wing with me and really likes flying Han and Chewie. What is the best build for this,
I currently have 3 of each ship if that helps with upgrade cards.

List idea
Chewie with Nien numb, recon with outman
Han with falcon title and ptl
No outmanuever on falcons. Only would work out of the falcon's firing arc. If you have a corvette, c3p0 is amazing. Also, a gunner/luke on one of them is crucial if they are ever going to encounter phantoms/ high end interceptors etc (building with meta game in mind is maybe not important for the kitchen table). Nien nunb would work well with ptl but not a necessity. Especially as crew spots become a premium with 3p0/gunners taking up spots. Predator could be a good replacement for chewie as well. Also, recon spec isn't that great on falcons.

This gives me something to think about thanks
So I have watched a guy at my local store play and use recon, ptl, and the falcon title basically to focusx2 and dodge each turn it effectivly gives a huge advantage seeing you can use focus on atk and def. Now I think that if I run Han pred is worthless seeing Han can reroll all dice and you can't reroll more then 1 time. I like outmaneuver on the 360 arc it seems to be a win win.
Side note I have every ship with the exception of the cr90 so no c3po for me.
Ya if you dont have 3p0 i guess you can use recon. But for the points, he's just plain better when/if you do get him (and like i said, you usually only have room for one of them on the ship as well). The han crew card with the cr90 is the other real good falcon crew if you run a chewie+ lando build. I would also probably prefer chewbacca crew over the recon, but again obviously can't do that with chewie falcon on the table. Actually, for only 1 more point than the recon, you can do engine upgrade and often use ptl to boost out of range/arcs since han moves last + evade with title for the ships that still have shots on you. This means no offense actions, but han's built in ability plus a gunner (especially luke) can fix this. This all gets to be alot of points though. Expert handling is an ok falcon choice as well for avoiding arcs. Just be sure when you stress a falcon, that your opponent cannot easily block your green on the next turn or you'll be doing more harm than good usually.
Weapon engineers are OK too on a falcon other than han, target lock 2 guys this turn, shoot at one and use it, next turn shoot at the other with focus + tl (ideally).
