Unless there's a moldy crow type cards for evade tokens (keep them from turn to turn) or the rebels get a ship that can take multiple crew and has 0 evade dice (like the Imperial Decimator) its more efficient to use 3P0 as he currently is.
Would this work on huge ships?
Unless you're against Wedge or anything with outmaneuver.

Technically, yes. However, the tokens would evaporate immediately.
Guys, read Lando and C-3PO again, like, REALLY hard.
Lando Calrissian
Action: Roll 2 defense dice. for each focus result, assign 1 focus token to your ship. For each evade result, assign 1 evade token to your ship. C-3PO
C-3PO
Once per round, (doesn't say anything about combat phase) before you roll 1 or more defense dice, you may guess aloud a number of Evade results. If you roll that many Evade results, before modification, add 1 evade result.
So you move Han Solo and he doesn't bump or land on an asteroid, and for your Action you declare you are using Lando.
You're rolling defense dice, so C-3PO is eligible for activation.
You guess that you will roll 2 evade results (cause you're a big baller and like swinging for the fences).
You roll the dice and VOILA! 2 evade results! Now you add C-3PO's 1 evade result to the 2 you just rolled to give you a net (say it with me) 3 evade results.
Now you finish Lando's 2nd bit, and get 3 evade tokens since you have a whopping 3 evade results.
Maths!
You could then PTL for a title evade, or just sit there and get to weather a swarm's fire with ease, or go big if you're getting R1 by a phantom or something scary and you're low on health. The point is you can get much bigger pay offs with the Lando than just the C-3PO, and don't forget you get can get focus even if you don't get evades. Hell, you don't even have to spend C-3PO on the Lando, but the genius of this build is that it helps counter Wedge/Outmaneuver and even can give you more tokens to spend against swarms. Good catch, DracoPyrothayan. +1
You'd probably focus.
Sure does. Then you roll Blank/Blank, Focus/Blank, or Focus/Focus and you just wasted your C3P0!
^This. I wouldn't even be mad if 3p0/Lando yielded a bountiful harvest of 3 evades to some drooling derp of a fat Falcon. I'd be straight up impressed. When someone wins at the slot machine you aren't supposed to get jelly, you're supposed to marvel at the effort that went into pulling the arm to make the little pictures go.
Wait - what?
I hate even the idea of fatter falcons. The builds that already could beat them will still beat them but the midrange mid # builds are going to get destroyed by it...and if not destroyed by it, probably drive players away because IT'S NOT FUN rolling all hits on 3 2 att dice ships and just scratching the paint with 1 damage. That only needs to happen once a game to make it UNFUNER than before... yep, I said it... UNFUNER.
You are aware that the Falcon hasn't magically gained another crew slot? And that Lando is much less effective on a Falcon than on a ship with 2 Agi or more? And is hardly the most dependable of upgrades? This is an interesting interaction, but I don't Lando displacing a lot of the other popular crew choices on a lot of Falcon builds.
Just to note, if you guess 2 and roll 2 you get 2 bonus, not 1
If you mean with C-3PO, then no you don't. 3PO adds 1 <evade> result, if you guess correctly, now many <evade> you roll doesn't matter, and you can never get more than 1.

It's not more powerful but it can make games even more grindy vs. the fatter falcon and that is not something I will enjoy in casual play. Because of the less offense, competitive builds will still take it down, but suddenly those dice results can screw you even if you have a good falcon plan. It's not a super powered option but one that is going to make the game grindy and even more swingy vs. the Fatter Falcon
