Ideal, Most Viable Canonical (In-theme!) Star Wars Teams
Hey, guys!
This post is PURELY FOR FUN.
The premise is to create strong teams for each faction that could have really happened in the movies. Be honest: how cool would it be to see Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and R2 in the top 50? Not gonna happen probably, let alone getting a bunch of weak, useless losers like the Jedi into the top 50. ; ) Pshaw. But forget about that for now.
And also, let's not get grumpy and say stuff like "if you don't put Wampa on the team with Thrawn you'll never get anywhere." That's not the point of this post!
OK! For Rebels I think the ideal team is:
Cmdr Luke (L), Hoth Leia, Raid Han, Chewie, R2.
...if we're being real picky, this isn't the right Chewie for that era. But Ben was already dead when Cmdr Luke was around (and I'll be darned if I'm leading with Farmboy Luke). So maybe Lando fits better. BTW: it's a crime that we don't have a Chewie with a Rebels tag, and we'll have THREE Chewies in a second. That is a huge oversight.
Or maybe: Wedge (L), Biggs, Farmboy Luke, Princess Leia, Han Solo.
Clone Wars Jedi:
GK (L), Anakin, Ahsoka, Luminara, Barris
...This is actually shockingly effective as far as terrible Jedi go, because everytime Ahsoka, Lumi, or Barris heals, you get the cascading strike. Not to mention GK has an extra one as an actual ability ready to go.
Jedi Council:
GM Yoda (L), Mace, Qui-Gonn, Plo Koon, Aayla Secura.
...Because Adi Gallia and Ki-Adi Mundi don't yet exist.
Empire!
Palpatine (L), Vader, Royal Guard, Tarkin, Stormtrooper
....Well, TIE Pilot is probably stronger. But Stormtrooper just seems... right. LOL.
Sith. This is a tough one!
Darth Sidious (L), Darth Maul, Savage Oppress, Dooku... er. Yeah. Maybe Sith Assassin we could imagine was a thing? Or if we're willing to include Nightsisters, that's where Dooku got Savage from? But NS aren't Sith, not even Ventress (dumb).
Maybe you can do better with a KOTOR theme or something? I'm not well-versed.
How about something funny like Jawas + Sandpeople + R2? LOL.
Have fun! I'm going to try all these combos and see which are even vaguely useable.
