After shelfing my airspeeder I played it again in a recent game. It did alright with the new cover 1 pilot, it wasn't a fun target for my opponents dlt or vader saber throw.
However it came it at 185 points and I think you can go with the harpoon just for a supression shooting backside. Comparing to luke with force reflexes and force push he comes in at the same cost + maybe 8 for stims.
I think Luke brings way to much to the table with courage 3, command cards and possibility to help objectives. So even if I can take the speeder, it's probably better to take Luke if you can.
So my idea is to make a Luke pilot card in a future expansion. He could be either pretty expensive and powerful or cheap - negative cost as a "fix" for the speeder. Either way bringing Luke as a pilot will prevent you from taking him as a commander at the same time.
Well there is my latest idea ffg
