Not sure on that. Sure both flew through tight confines. So did lando. And chewie is the lower PS of that group. But we have to ask.. What is the minimum bar for surviving a tunnel run like that?

Norra Wesley and Jake Ferrell, who survived the DS2 run, are 7's.. But does that mean 7 is the lowest needed for a tunnel run? Or could chewie's 5 be near that lower limit and all the others just massively overqualified?

Yeah, but only Rey crashed the ship into the ground during liftoff :D

How about a Rey card that has something that says if more than two enemies are in a direct line, inside primary arc, you may fire upon all of them once this round (no gunner or Luke permitted).

Did you see how she shot 3 TIES in one blow? Awesome shot!

I know someone who runs a really good Chewie build that involves Draw Their Fire, Hull Upgrade, and a couple other cards. He runs it with Kanan and it's ridiculously good.

PS9 Chewie: Discard a "Porg Token" perform a free boost action during the combat phase.

Porg crew: Place 4 porg tokens.

But my one gripe with the Porgs.

Chewie should have eaten that roasted Porg. The Porg is already dead so throwing it away was a waste. That poor Porg died in vain. If the tasty Porgs are too stupid to run away after they just seen one of their own killed and skinned and roasting over a fire then they deserved to be eaten. Especially that tender juicy little baby one, mmm Roasted Porg, nutritious and delicious.

Add a new crew:

Porg - 3
Chewbacca pilot only
You may perform a Rage action on an equipped Elite Pilot Talent upgrade card even while stressed, then remove 1 stress token.

I’ve not read the tread but...

chewie was a badass!

Yes!!! I think my fanboy-ness for this movie would finally be satisfied if we had a totally awesome Chewie pilot/Rey crew combo that filled a 100 points list and was competitively viable! Rey crew, besides doing that, would also give access to the "I Like This!" EPT (like the Mist Hunter title) that gave free rerolls when attacking, and "Waaaarrrughh!" would be a Chewbacca-compatible EPT that also went on there. And the Porg would be a dual card, one side showing a shrieking live Porg and the other side showing a delicious cooked Porg. And... oops, wait, I'm geeking out again. Repeat the mantra. Gameplay > fluff... gameplay > fluff... gameplay > fluff...

I saw/stole some of your ideas and wrote some fluff. Pardon the theft and any shortcuts in the text. On a phone. First time. Etc.

Title: Porg Infestation, Millenium Falcon, Chewbacca only, before you reveal your dial, if you are not stressed, you may spend one Porg Token; if you do, perform a boost or barrel roll action, then receive one focus token and one stress token.
When attacking or defending, if the target/attacker is in your firing arc, and you have a focus token, you may reroll up to two blank result. 1 point


Crew (double slot): Porgs, at start of game receive a Market Condition Card; increase your pilot skill by 3; at the start of game, place 2 porg tokens on your ship; at each end phase, if there are at least 2 porg tokens on your ship, place another porg token on your ship. 2 points


Market Condition Card
Once per round, if you did not spend a porg token this round, remove one porg token from your ship when you receive a stress token.
After you perform a manuever, if there are at least 5 porg tokens on your ship, you may discard all porg tokens to treat that manuever as a k-turn or talon roll, and/or as a green manuever.
At the start of each combat phase, roll one attack die for each porg token on your ship; if you roll at least 2 crits, receive one face up damage card.
Cannot equip Veteran Instincts

BB-9e - crew - imperial only: enemy ships in your arc at range 1-3 may not perform free actions. First Order only: Once per round, when attacking/defending, if the attacker/defender is in your firing arc at range 1-3, and you are in their firing arc, you may cancel one of their blank results. 2 points

Dj - crew - once per game, before the beginning of the activation phase, if you are stressed, assign the MacGuffin condition card to your ship. Then discard this card.
When you receive this condition card, remove one upgrade card from an enemy ship at range 1-3 and place that card on your ship; then remove all stress tokens from your ship.
After the end phase, the enemy ship may receive one stress token to take the upgrade card back, unspent.
If you have an unused/discarded illicit slot, you may use the upgrade card while you have it.
If you are First Order, when you receive an upgrade card, all enemy ships reveal their dials. You may then rotate your dial to a manuever of the same speed or difficulty; if you do, reveal your dial and receive one focus token. 1 point

Do you have the complete build ?

So many good ideas, but I personally really want to see disposable porg tokens play some part in this now.

I like the idea of jettisoning them at speed to shed target locks. Pyrotechnic Porg based chaff if you will. Probably overpowered, but I just can't stop thinking about a harpoon missile hitting a little butterball Porg instead of the Falcon.

FFG... please, please, level Chewie up to PS9. That big walking carpet deserves it. He didn't get so much as a hug when his BFF was killed, but still did his job so **** well. He even ate a gross Porg for our amusement. Now he has to watch other Wookies be way more relevant in their Auzitucks? Not fair!

Change the pilot ability if you have to, but at least try to remain true to the films in this respect.

Please share your ideas for a new pilot ability or at least voice your support for a new pilot card for Chewie, along with the T-65 fix and Resistance A-Wing of course. Rebellions are built on hope!

+1 to this, one of my favorite scenes of all time now with the classic music, it's beautiful.At least 30+ years show off and prove he was way better than Rey, as it should be...

Porgs

0 cost modification

When this card is revealed, put 2 focus tokens on this card.

At the end of the activation phase, put 1 focus token on this card. You may use these tokens anytime.

At the end of the combat phase, if there are less than 2 focus tokens on this card, discard it.

Chewie PS9

If you equip Porgs you can equip 1 extra modification.

Once per turn you may reroll dice equal to the number of focus tokens on Porgs .

Wave 11 brought intensity. Nough said.

No. I'll PM it to you this evening.

I think you guys are all missing the way to exploit this. Go to a competition with a customised Porg t-shirt (the one with the really big round eyes) with the quote "Please don't hurt / eat me."

If Chewie lost his appetites, then so will your opponent!

Porg butts roasting over an open firrrre!!!

Crait salt nipping at your toes....

Confirmed, Porgs are force sensitive...

You can't be the greatest pilot, when you have such a variety of amazing talents.

Title: Spark of Resistance. YT-1300 only. You may equip one additional title. Lose missile slot, gain one EPT slot and two Crew slots. If this ship is the only remaining ship in your squad, increase its agility by one.

Chewbacca and Rey only.
