What do you folks think about this?

I've yet to try the YT-1300 and I've never been all that impressed by the single ubër ace with Han. Mainly because I shoot the ace down and then struggle to kill Han. I'm hoping the A and Stresshog will provide the sort of long lasting distraction that I think was missing.

Personally I prefer Chewie on the Falcon. My normal build is Chewie, C-3PO, Predator and the Falcon title card. This comes in at 49 points which saves you a bit too. You can chuck the Hull Upgrade on if you want (worth it with Chewie) and it still works out cheaper.

It is not quite as killy as Han but it comes close Predator only gives you 1 reroll per turn but it means you don't have to reroll all you dice meaning that you have the chance to bump 2 hits to into 3 without risk. C-3PO + Falcon title mean you can flat-out ignore the first 2 hits each turn which makes it a real beast to take down. I have run against all sorts of lists from Brobots Scum to Tie swarms and I have only lost it once.

You know, I haven't even looked at Chewie. I will now. The idea of just ignoring the first two hits in an attack roll is awfully appealing.

Sadly it is the first 2 hits per turn, not per attack (which would be awesome). Combo of C-3PO and the evade from the Falcon title. But Chewie also causes all damage cards to be dealt face-down which makes the Falcon hugely survivable.

If you really want to boost survivability (although at the loss of some offense), toss Lando on there and PTL instead of Predator for up to 3 Evade tokens per turn plus a guaranteed dodge from C-3PO.
