Any chance to make it works?

Maybe?

I think Lowhhrick really needs either Draw Their Fire or Selflessness (whichever one based on personal preference), and some sort of offensive crew. These lists tend to have low dice mods. Wookiee Commandos is cheap, and Maul+Ezra seems like it'll have promise (a single Maul reroll and Ezra's soft focus together add nearly a hit per turn over naked dice, and 0.62 hits per turn over Wookiees), but it's a lot more expensive. So let's say we want two more points on Lowhhrick.

When thinking of the first place I'd get them, I'd trim points from Rex in Sabine's Masterpiece and Recon Specialist. It's kinda nice to get focus-evade from Jan Ors immediately, but Thane's Jyn Erso is right there, and can hopefully start that token stack. It might even be better since Rex could use his own action to evade, and Thane could Jyn/Jan over a second evade. Jyn should generally be Thane's own action, and you should use his ability to get focus/TL for his own attack.

You could just drop down to a 1 point crew for Rex, like Inspiring Recruit, but I don't think that'll go very far. I'd just run naked Rex. That'd leave 2 more points. This could be getting R2-D6 and Draw Their Fire or Selflessness for Thane, or getting Roark Garnet Pulsed Ray Shields, or perhaps also giving Roark a Twin Laser Turret for the higher damage, and something like R5 Astromech on Thane, for crit resistance on a high-hull, low agility ship.

This is similar to a nasty squad I've faced before, but I think the one I faced is superior:

Roark w/ TLT, ops spec & crow = 31

Lowrick w/ selflessness = 29

Gold pilot (y-wing) w/ TLT, BTL-A4 & R3-A2 = 26

Rex = 14

100

Actually, the list I faced had Jess Pava instead of Gold. You could put Pava in, but Gold's TLT has far better synergy with ops spec and is more dangerous with R3-A2
