Okay, this is just me, I really don't like BB-8. O think he's overcosted for what he does. The restriction of having to do a green maneuver and only being able to barrel roll at the time it's revealed, I think it's only worth one point. I think with Wedge, you'll find better use out of Targeting Astromech or even R5 Astromech. R5 gives you a 1 point bid too. Again, that's just me, and my view may be skewed because of my experience (I ran him in a list for 3 games, and used him 0 times because it would never be useful to barrel roll in any of those games) but I just feel you could get more benefit from those points elsewhere.

I use the same Wedge in my triple x list and I think bb-8 is worth every point. It give some flexibility to a ship that is pretty easy to predict. It makes Wedge a crazy good low ps ship hunter.

I like Biggs as a bodyguard to powerful pilots like Wedge but that Poe is built as a tank but he won't be the focus of fire in this list due to Biggs ability and most people will focus Wedge after that. I would rather see r5-p9 on poe and rf-d6 on biggs, they are both cheaper and works better IMO.

Here is my Triple X list if u wanna try it.

Wedge
bb-8, crackshot, IA 32p

Wes

r2 astro, VI, IA 31p

Poe
r5-p9, VI, Auto thrusters 37p


My 2 cents.
