The idea here is to capitalize on Poe's ability. Kinda lacks firepower though.

I'm not sold on Calculation and Weapons Guidance for Poe. The whole point of his ability is that he doesn't need to spend his Focus to use it, while those two upgrades make him spend it. If he spends it on offense, he doesn't get his defensive boost. I'd rather run him with the astromech that gives him a shield back if he still has a focus token at the end of the round.

Well I figure with those upgrades, he can use his focus for two different things, or sometimes even three if he uses one from someone else. Depending on his roll he can turn a single eye to a hit, then turn that hit into a crit. Or all sorts of combinations.

While at first glance I agree Edgeofdreams, i think that this could work fairly well. I do think it's putting a lot of eggs in Poes basket though, which I'm not sure will really be worth it, since, in the end, he's still just throwing 3-4 red dice a turn.
