10 Activations

Commands:
Son of Skywalker (1), You Serve Your Master Well (1), My Ally Is the Force (2), Full of Surprises (2), Return of the Jedi (3), Covering Fire (3), Standing Orders (4)

Essentially the idea here is obviously to get Luke and the Tauntauns to the enemy as intact as possible, and then wreak some havoc.

I really wanted to put Comms Jammers on the Tauntauns, but with the extremely varied order token pool, I figured Improvised Orders would be more important.

I also considered Jedi Mind Trick instead of Saber Throw for You Serve Your Master Well, but a second exhausting force power would compete with Force Reflexes for Master of the Force, and the versatility of having a ranged attack option is probably more useful overall. Also a Tauntaun is a really good target for YSYMW.

The snipers are mostly here for cheap activations, but can also potentially remove/suppress specific threats to Luke and the Tauntauns.

Thoughts?

Looks interesting to me, I like lists with tauntauns and am intersted to see how operative Luke plays.

I do Like force push on him better than saber throw, because he has charge and not relentless and also disengage so he really wants to be in meelee.

Push is definitely better than Saber Throw, the issue is finding the points for it. I would have to drop probably Tenacity on one of the Tauntauns and Hope (which was kinda just on there cause I had the points for it), which is probably worth it. I just kinda hate having two of the same unit with mismatched upgrades lol (I realize I could drop Tenacity on Luke instead, but I also realize that that would be incredibly dumb).

Ya it's hard when you don't have a lot of point to spare

Drop the snipers and take Triple Saboteurs. That frees up 6 points.
