More Two Character Synergies

Not sure if this has a dedicated forum discussion or not, but like many of you I'm sure, I like the idea of character synergies between two toons. The Star Wars universe is chock-full of impactful friendships in the lore, and I'm sad that the devs wasted such a cool mechanic on Biggs and Wedge.

So, does anyone have any good ideas for additional synergy options? I want to exclude toons that are powerful on their own (while Jedi Knight Anakin and Ahsoka Tano make a lot of sense, Anakin is a great toon on his own; remember, nobody uses either Biggs or Wedge in arena without the other but plenty use Anakin). The goal here is to make more characters viable and offer some new meta changes.
Should also note we want to avoid having multiple synergies in the same character subtype, so Wiggs has scoundrels covered (no Luke-Leia, Han-Lando)

Some pairs that are pretty obvious:
Scoundrels: Dengar-Boba
Sith: Savage-Maul
Nightsisters: Daka-Ventress
Jedi: Yoda-Mace maybe?
Empire: Veers-Tarkin
Resistance: Poe-Finn
First Order: Phasma-Kylo

I'm getting weaker as I go, but some examples of the synergies I'm looking for:
Savage and Maul are desperately low on speed and have mediocre damage. So, they both get a speed boost and offense up while the other is out; if one dies, the other "enrages", getting 100% turn meter and advantage immediately, offense up, crit chance/damage up, and speed up for a certain duration.

Let me know what y'all think; I think adding a few more synergies could make another dozen toons viable and diversify the meta.
