Hello, in my imperial list with Temp Alliance i was thinking of using Bantha Rider + Jundland Terror combined with Crush, to rush into the MHD-19-Gideon-C3p0 box with support from Palp, in order to break it as soon as. Tero would follow behind for flaming. My other mercenary would be Jabba, eWeequay or Greedo....any thoughts?
Incorporate Bantha Rider into ejet/terro imp list
Playing Jabbas Palace map

If you can actually take the eJets, i can tweak the list in order to fit them in if you want
I dont have Riot Troopers yet , i was thinking of using eJets with eWeequays and bantha for my 2 mercs units. Do i really need the two rOfficers or
are they just filler? I would also try to fit palp or blaise in there with Spy training on eJets

rOfficers are great, always. You gain smart activations in which you can actually do plenty of things, from repositioning your figures into going to claim a crate or some objectives.
Palpatine is actually on the list, Blaise atm ain't playable imho because he dies too quickly and lacks in utility, his abilities and stats ain't worth his 6 of cost.
Having Palpatine + Terro + eJets + eWeequays + Bantha is redundant and takes 39 points (considering 1 for TA) with actually no dedicated unit to successfully contest objectives, therefore i wouldn't reccomend to play all of these guys together. If you plan to play the Bantha to get Jundland Terror, i'd tell you to play Terro instead of the Weequays since Terro is a Creature and both him and the bantha can benefit from Ferocity to actually perform attacks as end of round effects, it's a better synergy.
Updated list with eJets replacing Riots

You are SOO helpful !!!! i will try this list on Saturday and tell u the results !!!
The Bantha doesn't really work without Beast Tamer.
I would like a way to break the Gideon-C-3p0-Leia-ΜΗD-19. Two to three figures in one strike if possible
Gideon has 5 Health with a normal black defense die, therefore you only need 5 damage to kill him. Dealing 5 damage is reachable with 1 attack from Terro or one eJet or from Palpatine;
C-3PO has 4 health with a white die defense, but he can reroll if he stands next to an ally, therefore he's harder to kill than Gideon. i would attack him only in the case you are pretty sure you can either kill him or you can risk to lose one attack in case you miss;
MHD has 7 health with 1 black defense die, therefore it's pretty much impossible to kill with 1 attack, you need to attack him twice at least to deal 7 damage, otherwise you should play Vader with Driven by Hatred, in that case you're pretty sure he'll kill MHD with just one saberstrike;
Leia has 8 Health and rolls a white die with one free evade, it's really impossible to one-shot her, even with Vader you should roll almost the max roll against her weakest in order to kill her with just one strike. You have to attack her at least twice;
Killing 2 to 3 figures with one single attack is impossible, there's no way you can do that. Among these 4, Gideon is definitely the easiest target, you should attack him with one Jet and the more you can do to ensure you kill him with one attack, the better. If your opponent's army consists in Luke / Han RS / Leia / MHD / Gideon / 3PO and you fear his firepower, get rid of Leia and Han 1st, they die very fast if they don't dodge.

It's better to say "the Bantha works much better with Beast Tamer", otherwise we could just say that "the Bantha doesn't work in any list, at all".
The Officer can do what Beast Tamer can't, plus the Bantha can be pretty useful to separate Han from 3PO since it's massive, in this specific case i'd never attack with the bantha, i would just move and stomp, dealing sure damage with 100% chance.
I love it !!!!!! thank you !!

The Beast Tamer can do, what the Officer can't. Have you ever played Bantha in Empire? I did. I works on paper, but not on the table.

Not a reason not to play it in a casual friends' game, besides

is still a true fact which make our statements tournament driven, which case this is not.
I think, someone won a Regionals with a Bantha just recently.
I agree that the best lists seem to have Bantha with Beast Tamer and more than 6 activations. That way he can run across the board as the last activation and do his thing and not die before he gets to go again next round.
In saying that, I still think he can move pretty fast to stomp and is not too bad for the points. Let us know how it goes. I'm curious.
i sure will!!!
I finally used the following Deck : Royal Guard Champion - Bantha rider - rNexu - Dewback Rider - rJets with command cards: ¨OVERRUN - CRUSH - FIELD TACTICIAN- REINFORCEMENTS- BRACE YOURSELF-URGENCY-TO THE LIMIT-AGAINST THE ODDS-FACE TO FACE-READY WEAPONS-DEATHBLOW- FEROCITY- TOUGH LUCK - SET A TRAP - (AND OFCOURSE FLURRY OF BLADES) against my opponent with : Jedi Luke - Solo (RS) -Leia - C3p0 - MHD-19 - Gideon.
I lost count of the attacks Solo performed in this game. Himself, order from leia, counter - attack and the end of round attack - wayyyy to OP card.
Anyway i managed to INSTA-KILL Luke with Flurry of Blades, Insta-Stampede the droids, Leia killed, got OVERUN by the Jets where she had already hit hard 6 hits from RCG.
I finally Lost 39-40 due to my mistake for not leaving my 1 rjet at an unguarded waypoint and focusing on killing them all. I love this Build!!!!

Congrats on finding a build you enjoy! I think there are some more-efficient options down the road, but half the fun of skirmish is finding a style you prefer! The game is in a great place for that right now, with a variety of options for all sorts of builds. Enjoy!
Very interesting with rJets and RGC. Overrun them, and leave him out as prey for RGC.
