I'm leaning towards the U-Wing list, but I'd love to hear thoughts on this.

Both seem decent, but in the second list I'd swap Elusive for Leia (maybe give them Predator, since especially Garven will focus every turn). If you have a Rebel crew carrier, she's too fun not to bring.

I'll have to give that a shot. That's not a bad idea, but I could just drop rigged cargo chute, add Leia, and have a 2 point bid... decisions, decisions

I particularly like the first list, lot of possible attacks each turn. But, on grarven dreis, I would recommend taking R4 instead of R5. His ability wants you to focus. And if you use R5 you can’t also focus. Taking R4 allows for the focus with the replenishing if health. But overall a very strong list.

True, but remember that Elusive and Leia are anti-synergistic, as they won't be able to recharge the talent with their now white k-turns and tallon rolls. Although, maybe people won't expect two k-turns in a row...
