Well, QG can only remove one taunt, though thanks for imput

O.K., but there should be someone who deals damage. QGJ can also kill 1 of your damage dealers (DD) before you taunt. And since you have 3 protective characters with little damage, there will be only one DD left to kill enemies what is definitely not enough. That's how things are from my perspective.
I really like tanks and taunt strategy: I have 7* Chewie and 7* ST Han, both 70 lvl; right after QGJ I'm gonna start farming Poe. Hope we will see meta in future where tanks will be viable; if not, I still enjoy having them. But so far speed means more than taunt and if you have plenty of really quick characters, you don't need tank with taunt.

Edited:And if your fifth spot is Ben... Imagine: QGJ downs HR Scout before Poe taunts. The only Plan B you have for this occasion is the Han's skill of the same name, but there is little sense out of it. Asajj heals herself faster with her ordinary attack than you can damage her with all four your heroes left.

HR Scout is faster, but is he able to one-shot QGJ? While QGJ is very likely to kill HR Scout in his very first move if he is lucky with assist.

HRS by himself will not be able to one shot, but the team is built on gaining TM rather than one shots; Ackbar(L),Han,HRS,Biggs,Ben... I'd replace Poe for biggs as im interested in how his unique works.

I could also do Ackbar(L),Han,Poe,HRS,GS; so many options.

GS and HRS under Ackbar lead are very cool. What is more important: both of them will go before second move of QGJ and first move (taunt) of ST Han. It means that before STH taunts QGJ will be 90% dead (unless Dooku succeeded to stun GS). So the question changes to "what for do you need second taunt in team (Poe)?" Take Rey or any other damage dealer and increase your DPS.

with the cap going up soon(weeks/months- still soon), i want to try and protect from QG jedi teams, if i swapped out Poe for Rey, she's quick but not quick enough- maybe if Ackbar,Han,HRS and GS are left with Han taunting, that could be devastating. I don't want to become reliant on the bug however,

I'm very sure it will. And another tank is not the winner. If you don't want one more damage dealer, think about Dooku as an alternative. Your team is all about speed, so Dooku will be good in it as well.
I'm still sure that the only second tank who might be good for this team is RG, but even though I prefer Rey/FOTP/Biggs/Resistance Pilot/your own QGJ. Another damage dealer is a good addition to Ackbar's "Tactical Genius". The more attacking characters you have, the better chance to have good assist for GS/Biggs/QGJ skills. All this factors increase your DPS potential sufficiently.
Anyway, you to decide.

He runs two tanks because ST Han works good with another tank. If you want to sacrifice the other tank I suggest adding a healer. 2 good healers is a must for a team that runs ST Han. As long as you take out QGJ in the first round before he can debuff ST Han'so taunt it is smooth sailing.

If you have AA and Han you are gonna need either 3 DPS or maybe 2 and something like Ben or Poggle

I can put in Ackbar,Han and Ben- but what other two make it viable in squad Arena against QG teams?
