I was coming up for ideas for a 200 point Epic Rebel list for a game next month, and decided to go with half of the famous Red Squadron, from Reds 1-6. Here's what I came up with:

Garvin (26) (31 total)

-R2D6 (1)

-VI (1)

-Hull Upgrade (3)

Wedge (29)

-Push the Limit (3)

-R2 Astromech (1)

-Engine Upgrade (4)

Biggs (25) (31 total)

-Experimental interface (3)

-R2F2 (3)

Red Squadron Pilot (23) (28 total)

-R7 Astromech (2)

-Flechette Torpedos (2)

-Munitions failsafe (1)

Luke Skywalker (28) (36 total)

-DTF (1)

-R2D2 (4)

-Flechette Torpedos (2)

-Munitions failsafe (1)

Porkins! (26) (37 total)

-Oppertunist (4)

-R3A2 (2)

-Flechette Torpedos (2)

-Hull Upgrade (3)

Wadda Ya think?

This is a friendly game, so I'm not looking for ultimate efficiency. For me, X-wing has always been about capturing the feel of the 'star wars dogfight', and too much min-maxing (I.E taking as many rookies or Falcons as possible) won't be fun for me. However I do think swapping out Flechette torps & failsafe on Luke for Predator would give me some needed anti-swarm capability. Still, I love the idea of piling 4 stress on a guy (thinking of phantoms/interceptors here) in one round, and not losing my flechettes with failsafe would be a laugh.

Nice. I love themed lists like this.

Since we have named cards for seven of the pilots of Red Squadron you could do a seven pilot squad for 200 points, instead of using an unnamed pilot. I mean, it's the argument you would use if someone said why not use eight Red Squadron pilots.
