So I proxied a list the other day with Vader (fix), Palp, Maul, and Inquisitor. I only used command cards that are currently available and won against Jedi Luke, A Jawa, Jaba, Shyla, Vinto, and Onar. As I've only played a few skirmish games, I thought the list was pretty solid. Could be better with new command cards as they release. What do you guys think? Any help would be appreciated.

The list definitely looks like a lot of fun, but you might struggle with the low number of activations. It's generally a good idea to have a few "throw-away" units that you don't mind using just to run objectives, hold terminals, open doors, and die a quick and gruesome death.
Since the figures you listed only add up to 38 points (with Temporary Alliance), you can easily add an Imperial Officer, but that leaves you with no points for any upgrades. To make the list a bit more competitive, I would replace Maul with some elite Jet Troopers and use the point left over from Temp for Zillo Technique.
Sounds like fun!
I think that Vader/Palp combo is going to be both thematically exciting and strategically intimidating!

I would drop the inquisitor instead to free up an extra point (and bc I like Maul more) for either Unshakable or Targeting Computer for the eJets.
But yeah I agree that you definitely should add an officer and Zillo.

The Inquisitor just seems to work with Vader and Palpatine better thematically.
