Kit Fisto (26pts)

Luminara Unduli (23pts)

5x Delta-7 generics (17pts each total 85 pts)

This comes out to exactly 134 squad points. Why is it a bad idea?

Because you need to buy 4 republic fighter packs and can‘t run eight? 🤔

Because you may want several non-unique escorts in the mix as well, just to get a good effect out of the jedi and to keep them protected.

I guess, you may want to run eight Aethersprites only in a 600+ points list. How many core sets do you want to get?

Aethersprites have 4 hull and Dodge only affects attacks from other squadrons. A round or two of sustained flak and all your generics will go down fast, even faster if your opponent has direct damage like Ruthless Strategists or Mauler Mithel. At 17 points each, those generics will end up ceding a lot of points, even if the Jedi survive.

Also, for that much points in squadrons, you have no bombers. Even if they don't get flakked down, your only option with them is occasionally plink with single blue dice, maybe getting a few extra rerolls from Nevoota Bee. So if your opponent doesn't bring more than a small token fighter screen, they probably won't make back their points.

Because you have just taken a third of your fleet in squadrons that can't kill ships, (plus more points on carrier versions of ships/squadron upgrade cards) and will get rolled by the first fleet you meet that is low/no squadrons, which has around 100 more points of its list devoted to killing ships than you do.

( This is all in a world now where even smalls with previously useless evades can resist your squadrons.)

So now you just need to come up with a strategy that deals with that flaw! Preferably, for your wallet's sake, before you buy the 4 squadron packs. 😄
