A few thoughts. Unsure if you want them here or on each piece.
1) Ronto with Jawa. Misread that and thought it was "Ronto on Jawa." I was thinking that little fella is going to be sore tomorrow.
2) Dr. Evazan. I hope that Bully makes into a Vset as it was the most direct method of damaging mouse swarms and is the direct opposite of an existing ability (Bravado). However, Death Sentence is a weird. "Security" in the name (outside of your custom set, I am assuming) is very niche to affect an ability. I would say something like "Death Sentence: Takes double damage when hit by a character with Bounty Hunter (or maybe Assassin) special ability." I think he needs Homicidal Surgery. It didn't get a good play in his original incarnation but it still defines him.

Hey Flying Arrow, I really like the concept for this custom set.  There are a lot of characters that haven't been made yet or in the case of Dr. Evazan need some serious re-work. Your stats for him are much more in line with a guy who's been successfully avoiding the law for some time. Nice job man, keep up the good work!

There are only 3 characters with "Security", which is why it also includes troopers. Just a matter of him avoiding the law. I was going to make him avoid Bounty Hunters, but of course he was in the cantina swarming with Bounty Hunters, so that didn't make sense. The Homicidal Surgery ability doesn't seem like it would be worth using. The one thing you'd typically need to deal 10 direct damage to isn't living. I guess I could put it on the figure since I don't think it should affect his cost at all anyway. Consider it added.

Thanks - I'd appreciate any further comments and/or ratings as the pieces come out. You'd be surprised how quickly 16 unique slots go away - I hope you're not disappointed. Several aliens that could have been unique get another non-unique representation of them.

A question and a few thoughts: What size is the bantha, as this greatly affects its usefulness. Personally, I think the Elder's CE should be a SA, so it can't be taken out with disruptive (unless that was the intention, of course). Other than that, looks good! Refreshing to see no power creep.

You're right - an SA would probably be better. I even changed it from 6 to 4 so Mice/Mas couldn't extend its range. I think it would be abusive to run up a few Tusken Raiders and then set off multiple elders from the back of the map. I wanted to fit this combo into 20 points so it could be used as reinforcements, so the Elder had to be pretty weak.
The Bantha is huge, so it does affect its usefulness. Actually, with it being huge, I can probably afford to remove Melee Attack. I went ahead and removed it. What do you think?

I would definitely play it before the UH one. It wouldn't be hard to raise its attack with CE's, which can make it a pretty decent shooter for 13.

Yeah, customs should be better than the obsolete pieces - I was just worried about whether it would be under-costed at 13 as a shooter and a Mount. Huge is definitely a minus for usefulness/maneuverability, so it might be okay.
