Can 3po go on the ghost and guess zero during the roll defense dice step and always be right?

C3po specifies that at least one die must be rolled. So no.

Unless this has been changed, you could put Lando on the ship and use C3PO during your Lando roll (still rolling green dice).

Sadly though definitely no 3PO without throwing any dice.

Fly casual.

I don't believe you could ever use C3PO on the roll with Lando. C-3PO works when rolling Defense and Lando is just telling what random generator to use for his ability. Change green dice to red dice for Lando and "evade" results to "hit" results to give Evade tokens and you'd have the exact same thing except it would be a little less intuitive.

But the C-3PO/Lando combo is in the current FAQ specifically...on pg 16.

C-3PO may be used in conjunction with the Lando Calrissian Upgrade card when performing Lando Calrissian’s special action.

Ahh ok thanks

Lando says "Roll 2 defense dice" and 3P0 just says "before rolling 1 or more defense dice" it doesn't specify while defending anywhere so yeah even FAQ not withstanding just RAW I don't see any reason they couldn't be combined.

As others have mentioned of course 3P0 needs to be rolling at least 1 die to be usable, so on the Ghost defense itself it would only work obstructed or range 3. I have seen it done but not often.

You can call zero as the guess so the main use is usually on a 1 agility ship and jusy guess 0 every time and no matter what you roll you get 1. If you happen to roll an eyeball and have a focus tou can focus up for a second evade.

C-3PO reads, "Once per round, before you roll 1 or more defense dice..."

Lando reads, "Roll 2 defense dice."

You can not arbitrarily decide to roll attack dice for Lando, because the card clearly says DEFENSE DICE.

Despite the fact that this is completely "approved" by FAQ... it did not even really need to be. It was pretty clear by reading the two cards.

I had C-3PO crew on a Hera-gator ghost at a Campaign Against Cancer (more than 40 participants at the location) and went 4-2 on the day with the second highest MOV. If you keep the ghost at range 3 from only 1 enemy ship each turn and nothing else in range 1-2... It's pretty lethal and very hard to defeat. Not major tournament meta but not a cake walk for many lists either.

Second place at Yavin last year did the same. You use Ahsoka to boost at start of combat to get the range/rock.

Yes. Although the action from Ahsoka does not HAVE to be a boost. Often I would try to set up opportunities to have focused and evaded (if possible) for the defense die.
