And Fel next to him to make ships pay for shooting at the Dark Lord.

If Vader would be redesigned I'd like something that gives certainty of damage. Re-rolls are okay for quality control but there's no gurantee your new result will be better than the one you just left behind. Especially on Reds. And the defense token is a bit steep of a price to pay, since Defense tokens can stop a lot of damage coming in. I'd rather the ship suffer one unspecified damage for that re-roll.

His cost, and Tarkin's Cost, with their functional restrictions take them out of seeing them in a lot of lists I think. Though I'd like to take the time to find out what I could do with some lists after freeing up the points by skipping on leading shots and Ordnance experts. Raiders are not going to need their two evades when they get into optimum range.

Both of those dudes are stupid expensive … primadonnas!

I'm looking mainly toward the Light Cruiser. They have two redirects, one evade, and one contain token. If they use TRCs, their only way of reducing the amount of incoming damage is gone. Enter Vader, who would flip that contain token instead. Plus, in larger numbers, Vader starts to look like a good buy. I'm looking at doing something like an ISD and 3 Light Cruisers (obviously final points value pending). That means I'd probably spend 21 points for TRCs and 4 points for Leading Shots. Now add in the cost for a commander. Vader looks pretty good to me in this scenario.

I think they could Easily come out with another Vader squadron. They already have Vader the commander, and Vader the pilot.

But Darth Vader Dark Lord of the Sith could be a Tie advanced with Rogue, Scatter, Brace, and Hera’s ability to give 2 more ships Rogue, and all his Crits count as hits. For the appropriate point cost (read high).

And while they are at it Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight, T65 Xwing, Rogue, Bomber, with assorted other wonderful would be fairly sweet.
