And even if she wasn't Leia, the Rebels have a very good It's a Trap piece in R2 w/ Sensor. (coupled with a Treadwell from Lobot and you are set, PLUS it helps with the Rebels low attack) Like the Hutts mentioned, when two of the best stealth archetypes ignore Jedi she loses value. If that wasn't the case I think you are right and she would be a better filler piece. I really do think the only way she'd see regular play is a Versatile replacement for Leia, RC.

She is notably the cheapest piece with Force Sense though.

Lol, if that squad were ever viable in the first place.

I'd say a rating of 4 max probably more like a 3. Poggle is certainly better in many ways, but even before poggle this guy wasn't that good.

The only time I've seen him used to great effect was a melee only tournament.

General Wedge Antilles, from Knights of the Old Republic





Ranged defense is a huge asset in a shooter dominated game, and General Wedge Antilles' Mobile and Evade CE is extremely useful. But having said that, he's had an interesting career trajectory; on release he went straight to the New Republic's top shelf (although admittedly, they didn't have many pieces to choose from). But despite his top tier status, he was shut out from the New Republic's most successful squad type - Solo Charge didn't need him, as most of the key pieces already had Evade or Stealth, and the 23 point Anakin Solo was preferred in his place. Similarly, Kyle Katarn/Jan Ors squads also were built around pieces with Stealth, droid, or commander effects.

Despite this, Wedge was still a good piece - he's a commander who can actually come out and fight, since he's got Evade and Mobile, and he's worth bringing to the front-lines since he's a solid fodder shooter with his accurate shot and +8 attack. But because he didn't fit into any of the New Republic's top tier builds, he wasn't seeing table time anymore, and he needed a boost to his potency to get back into the competitive scene. But Han Solo, Corellian Legend gives him the boost he needs; Wedge gives Han Evade and access to GMA, while Han gives Wedge an attack boost, Opportunist, and twin, making him into a very respectable second or third attacker. Depending on how popular Corellian Han is - he's certainly got his work cut out to supplant Han Galactic Hero's Disruptive - Wedge has a way back into the competitive meta. Evade and mobile for followers, as well as a decent fodder shooter is still a solid deal for 23 points anyway; 9/10.

Mandalore the Lesser, from The Old Republic





Ulic Qel-Droma allowed mixing of Mandos and Sith, but he's so expensive that he's largely irrelevant to the current game. Mandalore the Lesser is an updated version, and as a shooter, he's much more competitively costed. He also comes with the caveat that he only allows Mandalorian followers into Sith, so you miss out on power pieces like the Mando Captain, the Neo Crusader Officer, and Mandalore the Vindicated. On the other hand, Kelborn is a follower, and you can give Mandos access to Sith tech like Sidious Hologram and Darth Bandon's damage bonus. He also can't be in a squad with another Mandalore, so he presents unusual squad building options in both factions.

As an attacker, Mandalore the Lesser isn't especially glamorous, with double at +10 for 20s, but he does have Mighty Swing and Close-Quarters fighting up close, and his Suppressive Fire shuts down defensive abilities and commander effects. More interestingly, he hands out Snare Rifle to a Mandalorian ally - if you have the points, Boba Fett Mercenary Commander could snare a couple of enemy pieces with accurate.

Mandalore the Lesser has enjoyed some success in New Zealand, making the top 4 of the NZ Nationals in 2014 with this Sharron build:



Mandalore the Lesser is a good design - he opens up some new builds, and gives some in-game options, and is accurately costed for what he does. 8/10.

Han Solo, Corellian Legend does have "Never Tell Me the Odds"

Gungan Cavalry on Kaadu, from Clone Strike





The current prevalence of swarms in the meta makes any piece with Galloping Attack an interesting option, but the Gungan Cavalry on Kaadu is too weak to feature. Since it's large base it's not subject to the Republic's movement breakers (R2 Doombot, Panaka, Foul), and since it's large base and Speed 6 it's going to struggle to get through difficult terrain and low objects. Since it has no ranged defense, it's very difficult to set it up for a run. And even if it does get a gallop off, its only doing 10 damage at +8 - while its attack can be boosted, I can't think of any feasible ways to increase its damage. The Republic have plenty of better scissors options - if you want to clear out a 10 hit point swarm, Momaw Nadon is cheaper and more reliable. There might be some weird situation where you want to bring in a Kaadu on a reserves roll, but it seems doubtful. 2/10.

Rodian Assassin, from Scum and Villainy





The Rodian Assassin is good enough to see play despite the fact that it's a Fringe shooter in the same price range as the Klat Assassin. Accurate Shot is obviously a huge drawcard, and with Stealth it has built in ranged defense. 10 damage is arguably an advantage, since they can pick up twin easily from pieces like the SpecForce Technician and the Peace Brigade Commander, and without support it's at +12 against unique, living enemies. Bounty Hunter means that the Rodian can pick up Charging Fire +10 from Cad Bane, Bounty Hunter. With 20 hit points, they are vulnerable to strafe and Yobuck, but they're still a great option as a Fringe shooter - really good piece for 12 points. 9/10.

Qui-Gon Jinn, Force Spirit, from Jedi vs Sith





A Republic force spirit was a popular request for the design team, and he finally turned up in the fourth set. He has the standard Force Renewal and Mettle from Light Spirit, and there are plenty of good Republic pieces that benefit from Renewal: Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi General (Flobi) and Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Negotiator are two good recipients, while with The Dark Woman's Light Tutor you can give Force Renewal to any Unique. As well as Light Spirit, Qui-Gon also has a Commander Effect where a defeated character can pass on his force points to another unique follower. Most interestingly, he has Sense The Future, a form on initiative control, where he can exchange initiative rolls with the opponent. This makes him an option for reserves squad with pieces like Kazdan Paratus and Count Dooku Separatist Leader. In New Zealand, Sharron has won competitive games with this squad, which uses Qui-Gon to give Obi force renewal and for initiative control so that Evazan can make a big top of the round hit on something:



Qui-Gon's a very good piece - he fills a few different roles for the Republic, and is fairly costed at 16 points. 8/10.

No argument here.

the ruling at the time was:

a) the defeated character
b) no, because a)
c) both (as TJ stated)

Supreme Overlord Quorreal, from Galactic Heroes





Supreme Overlord Quorreal is probably the closest that the Vong have to an auto-include - while the Yammosk also sees lots of time on the table, Blast Bug squads can do fine without them. On the other hand Quorreal's Vong reinforcements 20 gets stronger as the Vong add more and more tech options - for instance the latest set added a piece to help with save rolls and a piece to help counter death shots, both who are interesting potential reinforcements for some matchups. And as well as providing reinforcements, Quorreal makes them 1 point cheaper and makes them stronger by giving them Aggressive Negotiations, which effectively gives them Diplomat until they attack something, unless your opponent has something like It's A Trap to circumvent it. Quorreal is also somewhat beefy, considering that he only effectively costs 10 points - he's not a terrible damage soak although of course you give your opponent 30 points when he does drop. His CE is interesting - it's one of the less useful tempo control CEs since it requires line of sight and doesn't allow more activations like Grand Moff Tarkin or the Mando Tactician, but it can be interesting with Vong's access to Aggressive Negotiations and Super Stealth. The fact that he's a serious option for every Vong tournament squad means that Supreme Overlord Quorreal is an 11/10.
