Note, you can drop the torps and add a prototype with chardaan refit. Shield is good on Luke, but the boost fits the lists more escapist play style

Well - I like the pairing. The two jedi is a nice, thematic list. And, with two guys, especially when they want to stay seperate from one another, I'd take boost to have the option of repositioning.

My observations:

• Why R2D2 on Corran rather than the other way around? It's not like an E-wing has massively more green than an X-wing, and with Push the Limit, he's in a better place to feed R5-P9 focus tokens.
• Advanced Proton Torpedos are bloody lethal, but really, really need both a focus token and a target lock available simultaneously to work right. You could argue that Corran gets his from his Fire Control System - Fine - but Luke lacks the ability to do this. Getting Advanced Proton Torpedos to work on an X-wing requires either Push The Limit or an Experimental Interface and R7-T1 (which would also replace the Engine Upgrade). If not, I'd stick to regular proton torpedos.

Corran's three green forward and 2 green banks give him the legs when disengaging, ptl also shackles him to greens, with boost and barrel he's running and recovering. I get far more utility and positioning with r2d2 on corran than Luke, and Luke actually does better with r5-p9...

Luke's lone wolf reroll is quite good on defense, paired with his ability, he rarely needs focus on defense, and without being stuck on greens from ptl, he's free to take the focus action, when he doesn't need to boost. The engine upgrade allows for some moderate arc dodging if necessary. The lone wolf reroll lets you also work on focus, and the less you need it on offense, the more times you can actually just apply it to r5-p9. If either of these ships are cornered, they're dead.

R7-t1 requires getting close and in enemy arc, coupled with losing the shield regen, when you run away... This list pretty much has you trying to spread damage and get the opponent to switch targets, done with positioning... Luke pulling a 3 bank and boost is very helpful in this. You're in a major dogfight against most lists, and Luke will try to get a kiting target lock, and save it to make the APT threat zone, discouraging range 1 for the enemy.

If you remove apt from luke, you have 9 points to play with, so, ion torps, regular proton torps? Flechettes and a 7 point initiative bid? You're just out of options unless you drop something, and the only other easy drop is the apt's on corran. FCS coupled with a focus action (and you're probably rolling, evading or boosting every round...) gives corran a single super deadly end round shot. This's something that will obliterate soontir fel, whisper or most any imperial small ship, need to get rid of a tie fighter in one turn.... Yes... You absolutely need to reduce enemy guns as quickly as you can to have a chance with this list.

Often meaning you need to slow roll in, and then flank hard and run with the targetted ship when you can read intentions. I've flown many games where you do quite well, and get through a good 50% of the opponents list, before something bad happens, and you lose one of your ships... That's usually when the second dies quickly thereafter. Approaching together in a joust will usually lose a ship before you do much damage, and then you're at 50% strength, and it becomes near impossible. This is why I like the prototype idea, it can be ignored, as well as get in and block, and hopefully draw a little pressure off... But you lose the double Hail Mary, ever seen what 2 APT's do to dash in a turn?

Anyway, that's why I have them kitted out as such... It's a good note that Luke will have trouble firing the APT... I'm leaning towards trying Ion Torps to give one nice controlling turn if needed.

There is another option - add in Keyan Farlander...

I like it but at the end of the day your more brittle than a 4 interceptor list.

add Kyle katarn with ic for control.

Or! Outer rim smuggler with leia and Kyle crew.
