News flash people, I am an ignorant hick from Hoytsville, Utah. Also, I am kind of a crazy Anglophile. In a stroke of absolute luck, I managed to get Sam Whitaker from merry ole England on the podcast to talk about his recent showing at two regionals in the Mother Country.
Sam is new to the game but--turns out--he's also pretty dang good at it. He talks about his performances and match-ups running Rebel Jank against a field predominantly occupied by Han and eRangers.

There was a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode saying he said that but was talking about wild attack for ahsoka.

Thanks for the kind words in the podcast!

I totally agree that Ashoka is a really strong figure, who makes great use out of Focus. Her basic attack is slightly worse than Luke’s (discounting rerolls), but she outperforms him when they are both focussed.

Often it seems that my opponents who use Luke to run in, perform one attack and then move him back out of harm’s way get the most value out of him. Considering that Ashoka has greater movement range than Luke, then at 4 points cheaper she seems a bit of a steal!

I had never thought of taking advantage of her Twin Sabers ability to run Wild Attack - that’s a stroke of genius!

I think that the other huge advantage in your list is the ability to Stun fairly reliably with a Focussed Lando. His stunning of Greedo was one of the key points in our game, and something that completely blindsided me.
