I think the naboo starfighters, especially Anakin, though there is an argument for the handmaidens too are a good spot to pt chopper. You can leverage the evade to trigger abilities that you would normally need to go fast to trigger for a couple of turns, then block and jam for the dogfight.

Interesting choice. Pretty expensive, at 51 points, but it does allow you to slowroll into the joust, and at I1 you're all but guaranteed to get some use out of the jam token.

Quick question: when jam breaks a lock, does that mean Ani could remove a red lock token assigned to him? (I assume not as he doesn't control that lock and thus can't break it?)

no, jamming breaks a lock the jammed ship has on another ship.

Makes sense, still - if he can consistently get range one of Vader Chop gets around ATC.

Also makes Ani much less vulnerable to things like APT's.

Played 2 games with chopper yesterday, just posted the list and some thoughts in the squad building section for those interested. Appreciate everyone's feedback
