Who is going to fill Force Awakens large ship crew slots with the Emperor and/or Darth Vader?
Just because you can 
Should Resistance get Mara Jade? Or will she be New Order?
Have fun guys and gals!
Let's go crazy about crew that shouldn't be in the Force Awakens lists but are allowed by rules to be there.

Well Vader's presence in TFA ships is canonical. It's just his skull though (or only his mask?)
Considering Mara's an Imperial crew, based on her Legacy appearance during the Galactic Civil War, she'd be First Order, unless there was a new crew card for her.
And with the inevitable Kylo Ren's shuttle, Vader needs to be put on there. Kylo will finish what Vader started, and continue to damage his own shuttle by flying directly into mines and asteroids.

So a Darth Helmet crew card?
Ludicrous Speed anyone?
Actually this is one of the thints ive wondered about, can the new factions take "rebel only" and "imperial only" cards as they are technically "resistance" and "first order"

Yes - it was even addressed here in the official announcement of the new core:

I agree but I see where the debate could arise. They chose to use R2D2 on Poe's T70 as the example while everyone's favourite astromech is not actually rebel only so doesn't actually in itself confirm the cross faction upgrades.
If anyone is doubtful of things however, the preceding sentence to the example seems pretty clear to me. Rebel and Resistence is one group and treated as such for squad building.
"When you build a squad, you affiliate it with one of these groups, and you can utilize any of the ships, ship cards, and upgrades appropriate to it"
So yeah, if I want to stick Vader crew on a TFA ship, I will. Thematic lists are fun too but unles I'm deliberately doing one, why artificially restrict myself.
The problem is that we don't have a four crew slot ship that can take the Emperor, Darth Vader, and Moff JJ.

If it says Rebel only it can go on Rebel Alliance and Resistance subfactions, if it says Empire only, it can go on First Order and Galactic Empire subfactions. Scum has no subfactions, as of yet.
This does open the possibility for upgrades that are subfaction specific. An example could be an X-Wing fix that wouldn't apply to the T70's. X-Wing Only wouldn't suffice as a limiter, but X-Wing Only, Rebel Alliance only would.
A hypothetical example might be Mara Skywalker, from the Legends EU, switching from Empire to Resistance.
I agree but I see where the debate could arise.
Nah, not if you keep page 15 of the rules handy.
I would if it would provide an interesting gameplay. Biggs has been protecting Lando since wave 2 in this game, that never was a problem.
JJ Abrams crew card.
Lens Flare
All crits inflicted by this ship are considered to be blinded pilot.
2 points.
A JJ Abrams card would certainly provide you with a way to stun the opponent with the one-two punch of nostalgia and awesomeness.
Have you seen that trailer?
Yeah. Extremely excited for the movie.
