So I was mulling over the possible combination of the the Kanan and Kyle crew cards and PTL. Obviously the only way to combine all three on one ship is on the Falcon so has anyone actually tried this out yet?
Super Han
Doesn't get you a vast amount more on Han than any other previous Fat Han build would tbh. Kanan makes you a bit more manouevrable but means you're not taking C3PO/R2D2/Chewie/Jan/any of the other numerous options for making the Falcon tankier or shootier that already exist.
It's a valid alternative Fat Falcon I think but not likely to be much better or worse than the Fat Falcons that exist already.
Quickly:
Han with PTL, Kanan, Kyle, Title, and EU comes up to 60 points.
This gets you a full movement dial every turn, a focus, evade and either another focus or boost. not sure this build is better than predator or 3p0.
You can also build Kanan and kyle on the ghost. But I dont think that would work well either.
You're actually more susceptible to stress and bumping with kanan kyle. One of the "great" parts about old fat han is you didnt care about arcs, dials, stress or bumping, just dont put your ship on a rock or off the board and you're fine.

Well the idea here was maximizing mobility while still having a good amount of dice mods not point fortressing like with the old Fat Han who struggles in the current hyper offensive meta and tbh was always rather boring. I don't expect this to be a game breaker just fun and useful.

I dont see how that combo is much of an improvement over c3p0, Gunner/Luke and Predator on Han.
In fact, it seems worse in a lot of areas (No Gunner, less tanky, more vulnerable to blocking&stress).
So why would you run this again?

well its cheaper for one, and 3PO's buffer style damage migration is basically useless against the kind of overwhelming burst damage of an alpha strike list or the hyper accurate plink damage of a TLT both of which you may have noticed are pretty popular right now. ....Also... its much better against stress then any of those lists? Not only can you clear it on a white maneuver but even if you are double or triple stressed you are sill getting a focus every tune even if you are blocked. Gunner is nice against super dodgy ships but against all agility two or lower ships its a wasted. The big advantage here however is that it gives you the ability to dodge arcs while still moding your dice.
I like that it fits perfectly with two Green Crack/Adaptability A-Wings.

Yup!
I've actually been running this build of Han for about a month now. He's a real beast.
Between Han's ability, Target lock, and Kyle's focus there is only a handful of times that I haven't rolled 3 or 4 hits.
I've been playing with different wingmen for him.
So far I've tried:
- Miranda
+Chewbacca
+Twin Laser Turret
-Lothal Rebel
+FCS
+ Hera
+ Auto Turret
+ Chopper
But my favorite list is with:
3x Bandit Squadron z-95
It comes in at a whopping 96 points. (Go big or go home on initiative.)
It feels a little silly using the old world's list, but those Z's are a real pain.
They bumb and control, and just tick people off.
So far I've been about 50/50 with my record. But, now that I've found a list I really love to fly, I'm working on flying better.
I actually tried Kanan on Han with C3PO and PTL. It wasn't too bad-you could boost+focus or focus+evade. As for whether it's better than classic fat Han, meh. Too weak to Soontir without Luke or Gunner IMO.
