i was reading some posts about the final for worlds and how Paul used r2d2 over gunner. I read somewhere that it's an underrated card so I thought I'd start applying it to my rebel squads. I was thinking of putting it on a b-wing over some of the other crew that we see on it like c-3po. The only problem I see with it is the b-wing's low hull making r2d2 not very helpful especially if he's flipping those damage cards face-up. What do you guys think? Any squad ideas around it?

I think given their low hull chewbacca would be a better option. He will be guaranteed to do as much good as the droid, but without the risk.

I think you don't really want to make a b-wing too expensive though it's going to die if focused upon, it's a tricky balance.

I think R2-D2 is best on a HWK, as he'll let you keep getting that one shield back.
