A couple points!

Force Lightning is Imperial only and Gaarkhan and Loku are very bad in Skirmish (Gaark doesn't have enough health and Loku doesn't do enough damage). I recommend getting rid of them both and replacing them with Luke Skywalker and replacing Lightning with Son of Skywalker. That will leave you with 2 points in the army list and and 4 in the command deck (with the removal of Furious Charge and Coordinated attack). With those two points in the army you can throw in Rebel High Command to guarantee more command card draw. In this command deck I would recommend Force Surge and Comms Disruption. Force Surge gets extra movement and damage out of your Force Users and Comms Disruption can counter Reinforcements and Jundland Terror.

Hope this helps!

Agree with the above, though I'd say Leia is also very strong, but more so if you have another strong ranged attack (hence the prevalence of the twins lists). I also don't much like Mak, but he's debatable. My only other thought is that you're somewhat melee heavy. And also intelligence leak is another good card to add in with comm disruption.
