Tips on beating hard nodes 5-B through 5-D in the ship table

Here is the set up I used to finally 3 star 5D (did not work for 5E). Start with Scimitar, Biggs, TFP. Use Scimitar to buff Biggs, target Ashoka early with TFP. Bring in Vader, followed by Boba. Use only basic from Boba to keep adding protection back to Biggs. Slowly chip away until you use a couple ultimate's from Thrawn. Did not use my 3rd reinforcement of FOTP. It may have been luck, keeping up the protection to Biggs was the key and did not lose a ship. My Thrawn capital is only 6 stars.
