I'm not talking man-on-Wookie love here. I'm talking about my OCD-like desire to have a crazy-strong New Hope or Empire Strikes Back team.So I'd love CLS (L); Raid Han, R2D2, Princess Leia, and Chewie. Buuuuut... can I actually beef Chewbacca up enough for his tanking to suffice? (I know we're talking Clone Wars Chewbacca - trust me, it kills me inside! - but he's the Chewie tank we've got for now). Does his Zeta make him any better?I think what I should do is give up on Chewie and accept Old Ben as my tank. But still, hold off long enough to indulge the above. Is a tip-top Chewbacca any good? I could even do Old Ben AND Chewie with R2, leaving Han and Luke to do all the killing while they absorb damage and R2 keeps everyone else safe...?Or wait - did I forget Stormtrooper Han? I'm personally not super impressed with mine but everyone else seems to love the guy.Now we go completely off-canon. I could replace even Old Ben with Scarif Pathfinder or Kanan if I wanted to - they'd both still benefit from CLS's lead. Are either of those choices better tanks? Kanan keeps himself alive pretty darned well - maybe even better than Old Ben? And Pathfinder is like a poor man's NS Zombie, lol. Pretty annoying as long as I can keep him buffed (with Leia and Han, that shouldn't be TOO hard).So to sum up:1) Is Chewie even a marginally viable choice as my only tank in a strong Rebel team?2) What about Chewie + Old Ben + R2? Or Chewie + STH + R2?3) Who's the best Rebel tank, including everyone? Scarif Pathfinder? Kanan? MACE WINDU?? LOL.Talk to me, goose.Sam UX

You'd be far better served by OB, STHan or Kanan then you would Chewie. In addition to all being FAR better tanks, they are have dual tags so they can drop in and out of other squads.

He's tough enough, sure, but all the other tanks have something else going for them besides tank-ing (Ben's mind tricks and evasion down on basic; Kanan's dispell and protection up, etc). All Chewie does is tank, with a teeeensy bit of turn meter reduction.I'm not necessarily sorry I geared him; when I get Hoth Leia in our next TB, my team will be complete with her as leader, Hoth Han, the 2 Hoth Rebel Nobodies, and tanky Chewie. Not a bad tertiary team for TW and TB (and Galactic War, FWIW). Not going to waste the zeta on him, though, because I can already see it would be much better spent on Ben's Devoted Protector if I really want to zeta a tank.Let's all us Chewie lovers cross our fingers for an original trilogy Chewie sometime! It's weird that we only have prequel and post-quel (lol) Chewie but not the one we probably all grew up loving! I'd love to get Chewie with a C3PO backpack...! =)Anyway, sorry to disappoint but I thought it was worth updating you all on. =)SamUX

OB is what I hear to be the best. I like StHan. Baze is really good too, especially with his blind buddy.

The best for you really depends on what you're looking to use the team for, though.

Chewie's Zeta makes him better, but it's among the worst in the game.

Old ben is ur best option, for sure, i play a CLS (L), han, r2, OB, trawn team and they work so good

OB+R2 is all u need to protect ur toons... Thanks to r2 u can hide everyone but OB (its like a taunt) and use OB mind tricks (who makes ur enemy do almost no damage) and once ur other toon are starting to go out of stealth OB will get his second turn to taunt.

Great tank IMO!

I've decided crazily that I'm going all-in on Chewbacca. He DOES have turn meter play which should work well with CLS and Han. If you can't have fun, what's the point, right? I'll let you know how far I fall because of this... LOL!

It'll be a while before Chewie is fully geared and maybe even (ugh) Zeta'd (I don't know if I can go THAT far, lol) but I will find this thread and update it for you when I've started using him for reals! =)

I have a theory - the Han Solo movie will be released next year around May. We don’t know the plot for the movie but it’s safe to assume that it will focus on Han meeting Chewie, meeting Lando, winning the Millennium Falcon and smuggling bits and pieces here and there. Might meet Lobot and happy for others to work out the rest. There could be a Han heroes journey (personally i’d prefer a dark side one with Anakin transitioning ... let’s park that) but instead of gaining another Han toon the toon we receive is a Raid Han version of Chewie and a MIllenium Falcons that they pilot.

I would simultaneously love (awesome!) and hate (all my work wasted, waah!) this.
