Palp is still good, but he requires a lot more building around him. I like the Duchess build as she's very maneuverable and gains the extra force off Fifth Brother, helping mitigate having 2 greens. The homing missiles on Vader are to give him a bit more kick at range 3 or land that killing blow.

So I played the above and went 3-1. My only loss was to 6 Y-wings by 4 points. Having so much force available let me constantly mod rolls. The only change I'll be making is to drop Homing Missiles to add Seismic Charges to Duchess.

I have the same list except no fcs on Vader and 0-0-0 on Whisper.
