I’m trying to get Rebels to work and trying out a Wexley build.
Wexley’s (100)
•Norra Wexley (38) - ARC-170
Expertise (4), Tail Gunner (2), •R7-T1 (3), Alliance Overhaul (0)
•"Snap" Wexley (32) - T-70 X-Wing
Intensity (2), •BB-8 (2), Integrated Astromech (0)
•Keyan Farlander (30) - B-Wing
Rage (1), Collision Detector (0)
I’m not sold an Kenyan, just like how he can hit. Any advice?
I think I've experimented with that exact Norra build and did not like it. R2-D2 and PTL is kinda the most common Norra because it's kinda better. Tail Gunner probably fine crew, but Recon Specialist and Kyle Katarn are options.
For the 3rd ship, perhaps Jess Pava is a good choice. She's 28 with M9-G8, which would let Norra get rerolls when she's spending her TL for a focus result. Meanwhile that allows Norra to get a 3 point crew if she wants, and you could throw Primed Thrusters onto Snap. They're so good with each of BB-8, Intensity, and Tenmin "Snap" himself.

So Snap could keep using BB-8 and his ability with primes thrusters on board???! Really. (That would also fit Tenmin’s personality.)
Then for Nora you basically TL and focus every round and leave the one green dice naked.
Primed is great on Snap. Red-then-boost. When you take a green next turn to clear stress, you can still BB-8, which can't normally be done without Primed Thrusters.
Norra has two options for her actions. Spend the TL and Focus offensively for a hit, or spend them defensively for an evade. Between that and R2-D2, it'll be hard to bring her down. If you go either Recon Spec or Kyle Katarn, you'll have two focus tokens, and can use one each for both offense and defense. With something like M9-G8 in the list locked onto Norra, she can still have focus and a reroll on each attack, be regenerating, and adding evade results from her ability. Or adding hits when you need offense. My experience with R7-T1 wasn't good. It is too conditional, and Norra isn't high enough pilot skill to really take full advantage of it, even with the rear arc.
Norra with Expertise is actually really good. My favorite build with her is with Expertise, R5-P9, Alliance Overhaul and Rey. 38 points plus whatever Torp and Mod you want if you have the points. like with most Norra builds you have to make sure to bring lots of other more appetizing targets for opponents to shoot at or she will get burned down really quick. But, with this build because you don't have to worry about the offensive focus, you can always take a target lock as your action and give yourself an extra hit on your attack roll every time (four dice with an auto focus? Yes please), to say nothing of the instant ability out the back arc with a TL. If you have a TL hanging around from the previous round, or when your pulling around for another pass, you can always just take a focus and pull an extra off from slow rolling the first few rounds with Rey. You should always pretty much end up with 1-2 focus until you need to recharge Rey (or you've been blown out of the water in 2 turns. Or 1 turned by Quickdraw ugh), which means that you can spend it on defense if you want, or always have at least something to regen a shield with. If you dont get shot that round, or you roll a blank/evade with your defense dice, cool! You can bank one with Rey and spend the other on regen, and no harm done!
I had a list that I was talking about here (wow 14 pages back on the forum) with Norra, Snap, and some other 27 point filler (now that wave 12 is here, I'm looking at you Phantom II!!)
Just make sure to capitalize on her when you can or provide other stuff to get shot or she dies really fast. But if you can get 2-3 shots of meaningful doom in if she is going to get beaned, than she hits like a truck and soaks some shots in the meantime.
Hope this helps!

I made a comment on you post also. It appears we are trying to make the same list work. It’s aggervaiting that Rebels have so many 1-2 agility dice (and overcosted as well)
I like the idea of Jess escorting Norra. I’ll try that out.

If anybody asks, I have excellent awareness *shakes head *
