Favorite crew for thematic reasons?

I`````ve always liked Greedo being as dangerous to the ship he is on as to the enemy.

Mara Jade would be so d*mn awesome if her card wouldn't read "that's not already stressed" :( Especially for fun games.

But anyway, even though I resent how VIII presented him, I love Hux on Stridan. Rant your crew to victory!

(Shout out to Moff "Out the Window for the greater good" Jerry, though)

Rebels: Sabine. Just because she's broken doesn't mean she's not thematic, and she does love to blow stuff up.

Scum: Zuckuss and 4-LOM (and also their pilots). Thematically they work well together, and likewise mechanically in any combination other than pilot/pilot. Denying tokens makes rerolling their green dice (or allowing them to roll an extra) a lot better. Meanwhile, 4-LOM pilot can do nasty things with the stress he takes on from using Zuckuss.

Empire: Ysanne Isard. Seems fitting for a stubborn, refuse-to-die sort of character.

Love me some Kyle Katarn. His crew card gives you a focus for clearing stress. This is thematic for 2 reasons. He's a smuggler who works great under stress, also he was an instructor in Lukes Jedi academy, so he rewards you for doing something good like removing stress.

Outlaw Tech: I love the idea of a Jawa on the engineering deck screaming in frustration while redirecting power to vital systems after a stressful move.

In my last SW RPG campaign we had a Jawa tech that hung out on the group ship's engineering deck, doing the same.

I love running two to three Scum ships with Outlaw Tech; I imagine all three ships' comms just drowning in Jawas howling about "giving it all I got". "UTINNI!!"

FTFY :)

It tough with all eight choices we have in the Imperial Officers' Corps and amazing crew carriers like the Lambda "Space Cow" Shuttle, TIE "Nerf-Until-Dead" Phantom, and TIE "Nobody-Important-Rides-This" Shuttle. . .

Oh, wait. That's why I can't think of anyone.

Snark aside, I'd go for Kallus. . .I like putting a hit out on Rebel Scum.

Or possibly Moff Jerjerrod because the idea of plugging Hull breaches with crew amuses me.

I always assumed he was just rerouting power from life support in their sector to power other systems!(in the heat of battle, their sacrifice was tragic, but necessary.)

Gonk. Favorite crew. Least favorite Halloween costume. That's a long story.
