This piece hasn't been talked about much, but looking at it again, I think it's at least worthy of some discussion:

There is a comment about giving it Jon Dutch Vander's CE, via Biggs, but I'm thinking this doesn't work, since Biggs' card says:
Camaraderie (An ally whose name contains Luke Skywalker gains Pilot)

The obvious synergy for it is Crix Madine's CE - giving it cunning + 20 makes it really nasty. As well, it's probably worth giving it evade - either Rieekan or Han Rebel General. You could get some brutal damage out of it by strafing 12, shooting something, then getting a shot from a Bothan Noble - you could easily drop 120 on one piece, as well as 12 squares of Strafe.

Has anyone tried it - it seems pretty solid, especially if people are running Daala all over the place. Worst thing about it is that it precludes you from running other solid Lukes and Leias, but I think you could get a pretty solid squad out of it, even if it's not Tier 1. A non melee strafer (ie no Djem So), with high hit points, a large base (rather than the Basilisk with Huge), and solid stats seems strong - we haven't really seen a piece like it before. I'm thinking about something like this, although I'm limited by having an extremely small Rebel collection.

Han gives him bodyguard and evade, so if you're using Luke, Leia, and Han he kind of makes sense - and he's the only Chewbacca I have; I do like the Speeder having a 110hp bodyguard. I'm sure there are better Luke and Leia Speeder squads out there though - I was just putting spme of my ideas out there, rather than assuming that's the be all and end all squad for them.

The speeder will likely move too quickly to bodyguarded effectively. Although I guess it would prevent an early strike. Chewie FS has a LOT of HP for his cost, plus Stealth.
