The second variation is to give VI to Han, and PL to Luke, if you want to be extra sure about initiative.

VI probably helps Luke more and is not a bad idea since PS9 is luke's worst matchup, but losing lone wolf....well its tough---either could work.

Yep. So at the end of the day, my list wins against aces (Phantoms especially), and maybe turrets, but I would probably lose against jousters like the BBBBZ list, for example. Clearly, my list is pretty common I discovered (but I love the Millennium Falcon as a miniature)

So, my friend and I are a little bit upset on where the metagame is at the moment. Is like a rock/paper/scissors situation, and it is pretty simple at the moment.

I also replaced Luke with the YT-2400 equipped with a Heavy Laser Cannon, and added Ion pulse missiles on the Millennium (extracheesy, I know). It is a pretty solid list, and keeping targets in the YT-2400 front arcs is pretty easy. If targets swarm around, you can always use YT-2400's primary weapon, which shoots at 360 degree, I suppose. So it is not that bad (3 dice at range 1), and you have 10 hit points instead of Luke's 5 hit points. So I believe that I could face a tie swarm. The problem is the B-wing swarm.

BBBBZ can still struggle against Han w/ Engine. It depends. B-wings can't move quickly so as long as you stay at range/out of arc, you can whittle them down until there's only a couple, and then it gets much easier for you.

My list I've played recently was:

Han, original not HotR

falcon title for evade, engine upgrade, hot shot co pilot expertise,

luke,

engine upgrade, targeting astromech, expertise..

99pt

multiple 100-0 wins with this list

Been thinking about trying this out. Here's my gang's-all-here list:

Luke Skywalker [R2-D2, Expertise, Vectored Thrusters] (38)

Han Solo [Expertise, C-3PO, Chewbacca, Millennium Falcon (Evade Version), Engine Upgrade] (62)

Personally, I like the classic Lone Wolf on Luke more than Expertise. With Expertise, you'll be able to barrel roll more freely, but you don't need focus for defense, and I don't really like the inflexibility of target locks. Lone Wolf isn't as good at pure offense, but it's much stronger defensively (reroll + soft focus is great). That said, it means you'll have to fly your list in a particular way.
