CHEWEY RETURNS!

50 points

PILOTS

Chewbacca (50)
YT-1300 (42), Expertise (4), C-3PO (3), Millennium Falcon (Evade Version) (1)

so with the introduction of expertise, and the release of Kylo...does Chewey trump Kylos ability, and if so then this could be amazing as a starting point! the trick would be what to spend the other points on for a wingman....and do i take crane and measures on chewey? do i have the points? what do you guys think, i think this could really make a splash in the evolving meta!

I think you could add Gunner to Chewie, b eef him up a bit also as far as Wingman/men go, there's lots of options, a typical Biggs might work, some people will fly Chewie with 2 or 3 Z's, others might use Lothal Rebel with various combos of things.......my son was flying Chewie and Lothal a lot before the Upsilon shuttle came out, he's 11 so he got bored with and has moved on, but it was a good build.......

I like Chewie a lot and yes, he does laugh at ISYTDS. I am cautious about Expertise because the YT-1300 is not great at shedding stress so I tend to prefer Predator since that cannot be switched off by Ventress/Stressbot etc. Gunner/Luke also goes a long way to boosting his offense. Here is a list I ran a few days ago to great effect vs Scum.

44 Poe (PS9) (33), PTL (3), R5-P9 (3), Autothrusters (2), Pattern Analyser (2), Black One (1)
56 Chewie (42), Predator (3), C-3PO (3), Luke (7), Falcon (Evade) (1)

You can drop Luke to a Gunner if you decide you want an initiative bid to help Poe against other PS9 aces. This list works really well as both ships are both tough and punchy.

Have you found yourself in a blocking position with Chewie? I was wondering about dropping Luke down to Gunner and putting Anti-pursuit lasers on him.

I'm a fan of Chewbacca + rage + inspiring recruit + Kanan Jarrus + sloop title MF (48 points).

It lets Chewbacca rage and clear both stress on the next turn with a green or white maneuver, it also makes the sloop essentially stress free. It does end up lacking a bit in defense without C-3PO but it more than makes up for it offensively.

Had this stupid list idea, while thinking that thematically, Rage fits Chewie more that Expertise.

YT-2400 Freighter: •Dash Rendar (53)
•Outrider (5)
Expertise (4)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Intelligence Agent (1)

YT-1300: •Chewbacca (47)
Rage (1)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
•Kanan Jarrus (3)

Total: 100/100
