you can't use the same crew as the pilot, chewie.

any card with a dot can't not have another copy of that card or card with the same name of a different type in your list

I like your list 3 other than that crew issue but you don't have a way to stress out chewie

Ok got it, take Chewy off as crew, should I replace him with somebody else, is there anybody that works well like this? As well as take off Wired.

I can't remember what set push the limit EPT is from but that's good with kyle katarn as you get stressed and then can remove the stress to get a free focus

I would also consider the millennium title card for evade actions then

Push the limit is from the A-Wing set, I can definitely see that as making sense.

As you said though there aren't really many ways I can stress out Chewy so I think just better off taking Kyle off and trying somebody else.

Don't waste the points on a Shield Upgrade for an A-Wing. Put those points onto the Falcon or better yet try and get Proton Rockets on both A-Wings by removing the missiles from the Falcon.

This is what I came up with now any further advice?

Chewbacca (58)
YT-1300 (42), Push the Limit (3), Cluster Missiles (4), Nien Nunb (1), Kyle Katarn (3), Millennium Falcon (Evade Version) (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Prototype Pilot (20) x 2
A-Wing (17), Proton Rockets (3)

If you want to fly Chewie and A-wing, here is what ya can do with your expansions. Really nice list. Tank in chewie, ace in jake, and blocker in Proto.

Chewbacca (54)
YT-1300 (42), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Nien Nunb (1), Millennium Falcon (Evade Version) (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Jake Farrell (31)
A-Wing (24), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Proton Rockets (3), Veteran Instincts (1), Push the Limit (3)

Prototype Pilot (15)
A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2)

One thing I have yet to understand is why is Jake so good, why is it that so many people put him in lists and like him? His ability doesn't really seem all that stellar to me.

He has one of the best abilities in the game right up there with Soontir Fel. He can essentially barrel roll, boost, and have a focus in one round. This means arc dodger supreme for a meager 28pts, or 33pts with Prockets. Or he can focus, boost into range 3, then evade aka "Turtling Up" which makes him extremely hard to kill. And A-wing has the best dial in the game, so shedding stress is no problem at all. Jake dances around people and ends with a modified attack die.
