This ability continues to confuse me. Quote:Dominate: Instead of taking its normal turn, this character can take control of a target living character, even one who has already been activated this round. (This does not count as an activation.) The target character takes a turn as though it were on the acting player's squad but cannot move. It can resist this effect with a save of 11. Determine legal targets normally for enemy characters; any allied character in line of sight is a legal target. Does the bold text imply that the dominated character is actually part of the dominator's squad (and therefore subject to that squad's commanders' CEs, if applicable) for the duration of the immediate turn, or is it only worded that way so the dominated character can attack his allies, but doesn't actually "change sides"? If it's the latter, it can then use end of turn (or any other) CEs of commanders on its squad on the immediate turn?

The dominated character is considered part of the acting player's squad for all intents and purposes for the duration of the effect.
So, a dominated character would be subject to the acting player's CEs.

Thanks E.D., that makes it perfectly clear.

You wouldn't be able to use say Princess Leia's CE, correct? Because that comes at the end of her turn, not the character doing the dominating.

if you were dominating princess leia than yes you could use her commander effect because you are taking a turn with her. The same would go for dominating any other character with a commander effect that occurs at the end of the turn, like THrawn swap, or revan swap. It can be very fun to have multiple swaps in a round, or even to swap an injured revan into a room and then the next turn lock him in.
