My group is looking to do a three-player Jabba's Palace theme game next week or the following week. I'm looking for community input. How would you design the scenario? Which factions/squads would you include (150-250 pts per)? What would the objective of each squad be?

Thankfully, there is an awesome map for it :). Put Han on the carbonite square, the band goes directly above him at the top of the map, as does Boba and his dancers. Jabba goes on the thone and the pits as well as the stairs in the upper left hand corner lead to the Rancor Pit map. Also, the right side of the map can be used with some of the Tatooine maps if you want an outside to it as well.

I don't know if this helps but i made this squad a while ago for a movie scene battle. It's kind of small pointwise, but there aren't many figures that fit the theme. If you need a bigger squad, maybe make Luke a jedi master or give them a few alien helpers. Anyways, here it is:
Rebel Rescue (149 points)
30 Chewbacca, Rebel Hero
29 Luke Skywalker, Jedi
26 Leia, Bounty Hunter
23 Han Solo in Carbonite (using Han Solo, Scoundrel)
23 Tamtel Skreej (Lando Calrissian)
18 C-3PO and R2-D2
One squad should of course be Jabba with thugs, bounty hunters and the Rancor. That's always a lot of fun. Another might be an imperial sandtrooper patrol, lead by Vader or another force user, that have tracked the rebels to Jabba's palace. Or maybe it could be the Black Sun Syndicate making a raid on the stronghold trying to take out their competitor. Some of Jabba's henchmen might even try to overthrow him and seize control of his organization. If you don't stick with the movie, there are endless possibilities.

You could have three fringe squads all trying to gain favour with Jabba, or just trying to wipe out the others. Each one led by a bounty Hunter or something?
Or you could reinact Battlefront II and have a squad of imps, rebels and the third can be a rancor and a bunch of Gamoreans?

These are some themed ones we've used for Tatooine play. They are more balanced for attacks and hit points rather than cost and play pretty evenly. It gets a lot of pieces in the game that don't normally see much play either. The Skiffs don't go so well inside the Palace, but something to consider.
Jabba's Crew
1x Bib Fortuna
1x B'Omarr Monk
1x Ephant Mon
2x Gamorrean Guard
2x Gamorrean Thug
1x Gran Raider
1x Jabba the Hutt
1x Nikto Gunner on Desert Skiff
1x Rancor
11 Activations
Jabba's Henchmen
2x Amanin Scout
1x Arica
2x Gamorrean Bodyguard
2x Ishi Tib Scout
2x Klatooinian Enforcer
2x Klatooinian Hunter
2x Nikto Soldier
2x Quarren Assassin
2x Quarren Raider
2x Twi'lek Bodyguard
2x Weequay Leader
2x Weequay Thug
23 Activations
Rebels – Jedi
1x C-3PO and R2-D2
1x Han Solo, Smuggler
1x Princess Leia, Captive
1x Nikto Gunner on Desert Skiff
1x Chewbacca, Rebel Hero
1x Luke Skywalker, Young Jedi
1x Tamtel Skreej
7 Activations

Oh ya, we have a lot of 3 team matches at home, great stuff.  I kinda like the Arica idea although she was more of a loner, and the Black Sun idea combined. 1.) Jabba with goons. 2.) Arica with reinforcement's, maybe some fringe support bought an paid for with Imperial credit's. 3.) Black Sun Then maybe another one with the Rebel's in there. Although that may work better than the Arica deal. What about and Imperial crack down of Criminal Organizations? 1.) Jabba 2.) Black Sun 3.) Imperial's Wannabe's BattleFront II idea sounds like a Blast!  I just may have to try that one.

The laziest option is to split a faction in half, either by giving each player half the figures or splitting the two activations per phase between two players. Alternatively one could give Jabba's guards significantly more points than the Rebellion and put an equalizing number of points of fringe in the cells so that the Rebels need to bust out Jabba's enemies and prisoners to win. If R2 starts near the cells, that could bring in the 2nd Fringe player pretty early on. There is an older scenario at: http://www.captainblasto.com/misc/jabba_scenario.htmIt is a little dated, but I think it has some good ideas in it. I like its use of a beefier Luke and giving Jabba lots of HP so he is a serious inconvienience to kill. That and the generous trap door rules mean that Luke is likely to end up fighting the Rancor which is a good thing. I'd swap out Lando for Tamtel Skreej, Han in a cell for Han in Carbonite, and the random Twilek for Bib Fortuna, but essentially I think the forces are sound.

I might suggest using Luke COTF over Luke Jedi....I feel like COTF fits the scenario more. In addition; in the old RS Ultimate Missions there was a scenario just for this part of Ep. VI! And there were 3 squads as well...Jabba; Lukes; and Arica. Aricas squad could have some other assassins in it to make it a 'squad'. Just my two cents :)
