I am trying to refine my options for using Luke in 2.0. I am really impressed with the value he brings and am convinced he is the best hope for a competitive Rebel list that I will enjoy playing. His ability to regen a Force point whenever attacked is the specific factor that impresses me so much.

Please offer any changes you might make, the only limitation being that Luke must be included in his X-wing in some form.

I like this a lot, maybe trade the R2 Astro for R3 (TL + force is awesome), and then get Intimidation on Arvel.

This looks really solid to me though and Luke is generally going to be your last ship alive which is ideal

Thanks, a solid improvement. Not sure how devoted I am to the idea of a bid with Luke at I5, because I can get an R5 on Luke with Intimidation on Arvel for an even 200. If I would definitely prefer the bid over action sacrificing armor regen on Luke, then the R3 or even an empty slot. TL + Force is outstanding and another really strong reason to include Luke, even at his high cost.

I hadn't even considered Intimidation on Arvel, never used it in list building and just too stuck on considering the same three or four EPT's and then defaulting to nothing.

Yeah for sure, it works so well on Arvel and ups the damage output of your entire list. You could really punish the likes of Boba for bumping.

R3 is probably the 'loosest' part of the list and dropping it isn't a bad call. Just don't see what would be better, R5 isn't a bad call, nor is a hill upgrade on Biggs or perhaps a missile on Arven?
