I like the look of it.

The only thing is that with all the Init control coming into the game, Han will have a hard time getting his Cunning off. Well, and you're short on activations.

Cool squad.

Ooh, yeah, 7 is a bit tight on activations, but if your opponent is dumb enough to leave pieces in the open, then Luke and Han could even up those activations pretty quickly. Certainly some nice damage potential.

Luke HPU and Yoda are a good squad core, but I'd agree the lack of initiative control could be a problem - Yoda needs to win initiative too in order to use his Stun powers most effectively, and Obviously Han needs it too. You might try working Lobot in somehow so he can bring a Muun Tactics Broker + sacrificial Ugnaughts in the right matchups. Or, you might try replacing the Han cannon with Kazdan Paratus, he can help with initiative control (probe) and activations, and his surprise move will help too.

In 150, Rebels can generally play one or two major threats, and they have several new options in addition to the previous ones.
Han SC + Leia (existing)
Landspeeder + Leia (existing)
Luke HPU + Yoda
Yuke
Master Kota
Shaak Ti JM
Kazdan Paratus
Maris Brood (+ Yoda?)
Proxy
Obi-Wan Unleashed (+ Luke HPU?)

Each of these modules takes up less than half your squad in 150, so you can pair them up lots of different ways, it will be fun to see which ones are the most powerful. Han Cannon is so fragile he benefits from having a melee shield - a load of WFF's did really well at Gen Con, maybe one of the new jedi options would succeed too.

I am so looking forward to trying new Rebel builds.

I have revised the squad somewhat.

36 Yoda of Dagobah
28 Luke Hoth Pilot Unleashed
21 Admiral Ackbar
13 Wedge Antilles, Rogue 2
13 Princess Leia, Senator
12 Verpine Tech
08 R2-D2
08 Juno Eclipse
08 Obi-Wan Jedi Spirit
03 Ugnaught Demolitionist

10 activations, and a squad full of stunners with Jolt. Instead of Luke, this squad gives the fp to Wedge and he gains Renewal and Mettle via Obi-Wan. A cheaper, toned down Han concept. With Leia's CE, no one on the squad should ever been seen on an opponent's turn until the enemy is in close range.

Ackbar provides Recon and helps boost attack ratings.

I also considered dropping Obi for Wicket in the wake of the Felucian Stormtrooper Officer, but I think I will wait to see how much he is actually played.

I like this one a lot better. Juno is your only accurate, though, and she can go down fast.
