Just created the below as I really wanted a way to use Leia outside of just a bunch of ships. The targeting priorities here are funny with Selfless, Magva, and Kanan's ability all making a hard choice and 30 hp with reinforce backed by 2 four dice attacks seems solid. Saw and Magva might switch places with some play testing, but I can save the force for offensive mods so even with double reinforce both ships can mod their red dice. I had 4 points left so threw Zeb and HP on, HP is really just to let Kanan shoot one more time before he dies (at Init 3 I could see him getting ps killed a lot), or allowing me to ps kill an Init 3/4 ship on the odd occasion that comes up. But Kanan in general seems really over priced for what he does and in January I would love to drop Zeb and HP for a Dorsal Turret/Vet Turret Gunner on one of them for the extra shot.

Does anyone know how Leia works with Hera's ability? Are they still red maneuvers so Hera can switch it up?

I was gonna warn you—at least the way I read it—it effectively kills her ability for the turn. Leia makes all reds easier at the beginning of the activation phase, so by the time Hera reveals a maneuver it can’t possibly be red to switch it with.

Still not a terrible option, but if you want Leia to be at her best, look at ships with 0-stops. Quadzitucks with her has 8 pts left for other upgrades or bumping one up to Wullf or Lowhhrick. And if you’re looking to maximize a pair of ghosts you’re probably okay leaving her off.
