Trying to figure out if this list has enough punch to it? Is it worth taking out the dedicated carrier and is 14 points on Juke better spent on torps?

I'll start this off by saying I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt.

To me it feels like the list doesn't have much punch overall. padme seems to be your best pilot on the list with the synergy between her EPT, Astro, SA, and PA all working really well together. I also think the V-19 is fine. But, besides that it feels like you have a neutered squad. Ric's slot comes off feeling like it could be used better, and I personally find that using a Jedi without Delta-7B is a bit meh(though, I do like the idea of using R2 to help make up for having less health).

With Ric I think it might work better if you were to focus on his strengths as a pilot instead of copying Padme. His ability focuses on using his primary weapon so give him upgrades that are focused on that. Instead of giving him Juke, consider Outmaneuver. Along with that consider giving him a FCS and a R3 to back that up. He should be a few points less and have a better setup for him personally.

Now for Obi. Like I said, I like the idea of using an R2 to make up for not having extra health, but, considering you only have one shield and you have 3 hull, it could be better to use an R5, but I think that's down to personal preference. If you do end up using an R5 I would add on the force ability BE to gve you an extra defensive action. This extra ability would be afforded by Ric now costing less. If you stick with R2, you could still add BE, or you could go for a unique v-19 pilot. Your Choice.

That's my opinion on it/what I'd do with it.

I still don't think any V-19 other than the Goldie is worth the cost.

I'm thinking (but not sure yet) that a combo of Sense on Obi-Wan and R2-A6 on Ric will help his ability trigger much easier.

So...

And I'm not really certain about the R2 units on Padme and Obi-Wan, because I agree this might need a little more offensive punch.
