Good enough for semi-competitive play?

That looks like Darkside Leia! I ran several lists including Leia w/Maul+Hate a while back when she first released. I'm glad to see some new enthusiasm on the topic :)

I had decent success running her with various loadouts of Luke as the wingman, and a version with Ezra(Attack Shuttle) and Arvel wingmates.

Old threads with Leia using other wingmates:

Looking at the OP list above it looks like just sorta-thic Leia at only 118 points. The core is pretty solid in my experience, not tip-top tier, but solid once you get the hang of it. Personally I feel like it's redundant to run both Hate and Nien since there's no stress penalty for using hate and it's relatively rare that I felt the need to get two force off a single damage. I suppose he could help you get more flexibility after boosting too though... Nien is just not one that I've felt really compelling in Dark Leia builds. Some do like him though.

AP-5 is good coordinate support for the points. Especially if you factor him as a pre-maneuver boost for Leia, which would increase the usefulness of Nien... But AP would have a hard time staying relevant if Leia is boosting, which she should be if it will save damage or gain a shot.

I'm not feeling Jammer on Ten at all. You don't get that cannon until after his and Leia's big attacks and it feels like it's just a 'why not' inclusion to go with the Foils which I'm not excited about either in this list.

Overall I would probably start with cutting the Foils and Nien to trade those 7 points for Engine upgrade so you get your full dial after boosting, not just banks. You'll have to be a little more careful with using Maul, but with Hate on board he's rarely needed for his ability anyways.

Alternatively, you keep Nien and Foils and drop Hate instead to invest in that cannon slot on Ten and you still have a couple points for something else too. Some people have flown with Nien minus hate and found him a cost effective substitute.

Sadly the points aren't there to trade hate for a cannon and engine upgrade.

This has been my favorite HS Leia list (and it got cheaper too so I could add some missiles on her). Extra point could be for instinctive aim.

Hera & Dark Leia

(72) Hera Syndulla [VCX-100 Light Freighter]
(5) Nien Nunb
(12) Ezra Bridger
(5) Ion Cannon Turret
Points: 94

(77) Leia Organa [Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter]
(12) Maul
(9) Hate
(5) Agile Gunner
(3) Millennium Falcon
Points: 106

Total points: 200

Could go down from Ion cannon to dorsal turret, drop the agile gunner. and have engine upgrade for Leia.

At least Ezra would be of use when being put as a gunner on Hera and not on Leia.

Fun thing, Leia with Maul is Hyperspace Legal now, since you can grab Ezra in the Shuttle. No Hate though :(
