I could also run an hybrid list between the last 2 (Luke, Leia, Gideon, ODM, 2xeTroopers) but i think it lacks the activations to be competitive

Anyway, anything i could do to trim these lists? What should i use in the tournament?

I personally dislike Rebel Troopers. A lot. So I'd suggest the first list purely for that reason. Though, having 3 large/massive creature could get in the way. Also zero ranged stuff. I'd maybe swap one nexu for some hired guns and devious scheme, and swap one tusken raider for HKs? But I do like the theme.

I've been running a list very similar to your third one but it drops R2 for Diplomatic Mission on Gideon and Rebel High Command. With Leia pulling cards back from the discards I had one game where I played Son of Skywalker three times.

I could go for Bantha, eNexu, eTusken, Beast Tamer, HKs with Explosive Armament, Hired Guns, Temporary Alliance and Gideon to get some ranged going but what command cards should i change?

Nothing really wrong with the one you already have.
I'd maybe drop one Parting Blow, change it for Negation (don't leave home without this card).
Cards like Deadeye and Fleet Footed are personal taste. I'd swap one for Urgency (good for the Bantha too). And maybe try get survival instinct in there (great for the nexu).
Probably good to have Rally in there somewhere too since you have lots of melee units.
Otherwise it's pretty strong.

I have had quite good results with:

Luke

Leia

Gideon + Diplomatic Mission

C-3PO

E-Sabs + Targeting Computer

E-Sabs + Targeting Computer

I find the Targeting Computer really helps with damage output while not tethering the sabs to range 3 of Luke (and the ability to reroll both die when near Luke)
