that is what i was thinking, i have never seen bastilla untill it was well into the game and any and all of my heavy hitters were dead or dying. What is you opinion on what could be done to help benifit the squad against bastilla squads
There is actually very little you can do to protect Rebel squads from Bastilla. Rebels generally have a bad matchup vs OR, just as OR generally has a bad matchup vs Vong.
--Since Luke's Snowspeeder has the speed advantage (and OR has no strong movement breakers aside from Thon), you could use the SS to harass the OR's tech pieces and activations while staying away from their attackers (and while keeping the rest of your squad far in the back), but that would change a large portion of your squad. Bastilla doesn't want to turn on the ABM until it's time (or nearly time) for combat, so you'll likely have Evade on your SS for the first couple of rounds at least...and if you're lucky you might even get some Leia/Bothan cannon-shots off in the early rounds too.
--You could bring a wall of Caamasi Nobles with Lobot so that the Battlemasters have to use a FP to Leap over it (and therefore have less FP left to deflect your shots).
--You could place a large amount of activations in your base squad, so that you still outactivate the OR, even with the loss of Dodonna's CE.
--You could put Ferus Olin in the squad since he's an excellent bodyguard and he has the big Dark Temptation attack which can lay down heavy damage on the OR's beefy attackers.
All of these options could help, to varying degrees, but I'm not sure that any of them can turn it into a favorable matchup vs the OR.
