I have an inkling the Bothans may be up to something again before too long.

Is there no save for the Shikkar SA?
Cant say I like it if there is no save, hopefully it will remain unique to her.
Other than that though, Both are nice characters and "lost Tribe" as a new subset for Sith is welcome.

I don't think anyone would ever use it if there was a save - it's already hard to pull off, since it replaces turn and needs to be adjacent - you have to give up attacking for 60 damage to pull it off. Cloaked Traps for Rebels seems helpful.

Same go's for force sever, everyone's thinks that's OK, well except me that is. I know it can only be used once but I still thank there should be a save even if the save is hard to pull off. For 22 points she can take any character off the board. even if she is defeated, as it does not say ends if she is defeated. A garneted 10 damage every round? is well worth losing a 22 point character over especially against a 50-100 enemy. Also depends on who is adjacent to her, if the adjacent has parry or block? with force points to reroll?

More than any other faction, rebels have lacked a bonus to attack rolls, which mostly prevented non-commando pieces from seeing competitive play. The fact that they now have access to a non-unique that effectively gives a universal +4 attack to characters in their faction, they actually stand a chance at hitting something.
