Since haters are going to hate, I figure we should put this somewhere else that it can be easily ignored. Lets get this party started!
"8 points! C3PO is just as good at guaranteeing an Evade result, and he only costs 3 points!"
"Why is he Imperial-only? It was his idea to hire the Scum in the first place!"
"Jabba should have been the first Crew member to require two seats!"
He's old and smelly...
If I wanted an auto crit i would just take Mangler Cannon
and his dental hygiene is quite lacking.
He's too awesome, I'll try to stick him in every build possible because I'm a nut.

Did you not read the article? His ability is nothing like Mangler Cannon.
He'll be able to keep any ship in the fight with a 3PO like effect or make a shot that may have not landed into a direct hit. The turret whine will be deafening.
I have foreseen it.

That's why he requires two seats. No one wants to sit next to him on the shuttle.

I figured it was for his Royal Guards to protect him from... lasers?
I dunno. I'll have to see him in play. But all I can imagine is obsessing over every roll. Do I set this evade or do I wait and try to modify this attack for the kill. Which one do I do?
Crap, I never used him that round...
he's an 8 point c3po for your shuttle, and that's too good! 
I'm not saying I normally chase shuttles, but I'd 100% chase that shuttle.
If you only roll evades and critical hits, then he's a waste of 8 points.
He's almost a tenth of your list cost. Almost too much of a risk to take him on a shuttle. I have seen shuttles go down in a round of shooting. Unless you can just keep the shuttle out of the main fight since he doesn't have a range restriction. He's almost auto-include in an epic list. He's 8 point cost and taking up two crew slots will be easier to swallow.
He will force your opponent to go after him first, especially if you have a SD Soontir or Phantom. They'll be near impossible to hit.
Edited by Jo JoI assume because of the wording, he can't turn a blank attack dice into a Crit, and then a blank defense into a Evade because of the word Round.

I assume because of the wording, he can't turn a blank attack dice into a Crit, and then a blank defense into a Evade because of the word Turn.
What?

Yes I did and Yes his ability is different but my point is for the cost give me mangler for the auto crit and I still have 5 points to spend to help my defense. Just sayin.
He's an automatic success on critical damage cards that require you to roll to flip them over. He's an automatic miss on asteroid and debris damage. He's got a lot more utility than just guaranteeing a single hit, crit or evade when you need it (and which there are plenty of other ways already in existence to adjust).
Sorry, I meant round.
I assume because of the wording, he can't turn a blank attack dice into a Crit, and then a blank defense into a Evade because of the word Turn.
What?
I think the question is can he do both in the same turn?
And, yeah, the answer to that is 'no' - he can certainly do one or the other. But he's only setting one single dice per turn.
If you only roll evades and critical hits, then he's a waste of 8 points.
Emperor nerfed my rigged dice!
