I'm working on building a list that pulls Luke into Mercs. Basically I want a group that can be up in your face, has lots of survivability and damage potential. Here is where I'm at so far:

Deployment:
[12] Luke Skywalker (Jedi)
[2] C-3P0
[1] Devious Scheme
[8] Gamorrean Guard [Elite]
[4] Greedo
[1] Motivation
[6] Onar Koma
[1] Temporary Alliance (M)
[5] Vinto Hreeda

Command:
[3] Assassinate
[1] Blitz
[0] Element of Surprise
[0] Fleet Footed
[0] Force Rush
[2] Grisly Contest
[2] Heightened Reflexes
[1] Negation
[0] Parry
[1] Pummel
[1] Pummel
[3] Son of Skywalker
[0] Take Initiative
[1] Tough Luck
[0] Urgency

I'm thinking I'll use Greedo for doors/utility, Gamorians as meat shields and Luke as the axe. I'll probably use 3P0 to focus Onar so he can hit like a tank. A couple points I'm still figuring out. For 8 points I can get the eGamorians with lots of health, Shyla who can set up some good positioning for Luke, or Bossk to bring some more pain. For the last point I can bring Motivation on Luke to get my dudes in position (which would also let me bring stuff like Parting Blow without having to worry about the stun, which really hurts this list), or I could bring indentured jester for a little extra damage, or prey on the weak on Onar or Vinto, or I could drop Devious scheme for 1 of those also. What do you guys think? Right now I'm looking at 6 activations, 7 figures and 66 health.

Looks like a fun and strong list! I would drop Greedo and one of your one-point upgrades for some regular weequays. They are fairly effective with some hunter cards and their rerolls. Moreover, they give you more figures for objectives and terminal sitting. Also, two of these maps require you to basically sacrifice a figure to open a door. In this list that looks like Greedo, which isn't really giving you your points worth.

Hrm, that's a tough one.

I might be tempted to drop Onar and C-3PO (or both Motivation and Devious Scheme) in favor of another set of ePigs.

I've been pretty impressed with ePigs and fairly unimpressed with Onar. Even with the list as you have it, C-3PO is focusing Luke and then... Onar each round after that I'm guessing? Everyone else is pretty short range, which is fine if a lot of your group is melee, but 3PO isn't fast and may have a hard time catching up.

But 4 ePig figures plus Luke double moving into the heart of the enemy and just waylaying ... is funny to me and with 8 health rolling a black +1 autoblock on most defenses, their double red w/ reroll will absolutely hack into opponent lists.

I'm unimpressed with Onar because even though he's high health for low cost, he just seems to melt under any kind of fire. That's his point, you're dumping attacks into him, and a 3 die attack that includes a red isn't anything to ignore, but still, I think both Vinto and Shyla are better.

Onar is good, but he really needs a list with more threats and maybe some more range. Otherwise, Onar dies too quick like you said. But with eQuay or HKs and ePigs, Shyla, bossk etc, he gets lost in the shuffle, and can really do some damage. I find if he can get two attacks off, he's made his point back (unless dodge) if he can make 3+ attacks ( command card, clever positioning via ePigs or recover or something) he's ruining your opponent
