Introduction
This deck in it's present form has not lost a game. I did well at a tournament awhile ago while using a few cards different. I dont intend to change this deck alot, and I dont think it really needs mcuh work at all.
The published list has 59 cards.

Strategy
Ok, hopefully you got either (v) luke, red 5, or one of the all wings in your opening hand. Use them to pull luke first turn and get himself a friend every turn. Pull the DDDTA shield and use it to pull legendary starfighter. Hold onto Leg StarF the whole game until you need to use it.
First turn: Deploy SPDB and put luke there for 3 force unless they saved a force to barrier him, if they did, then just deploy him to Tatooine for 4. Pull Kessel, dont depoy it until you get most of your ships out, or until you know if the opponent is playing heavy space or not.
Second turn: pull dash and outrider with luke(if possible, if not anyone else will do.) Set up starships at tatooine. Deploy Home one DB for more force. Go ahead and lose interrupts to early ground drains, you can use them later.
Mid game, get set up on ground, use tunnel visions to get needed cards. Usually put han and chewie and melas at cantina, and everyone else at a DB. If opponent is playing heavy space, then use han up there. Han and chewie are almost safe together at a DB, Life debt gives them 5 destines, plus their 2 weapons and a fallen portal.
Some games you'll only be able to control one ground location. Use luke and tatooine celebration to retrieve at least two each turn, while draining for 3 at kessel, you might want to play the combo "control and tunnel vision in your deck because control cancels enter the bureucrat if its played on kessel.
ITTL is awesome with drains at DBs as well as an immunity booster.
Fusion generator supply tanks (v) cancels the annoying lateral damage on outrider and is a useful stat booster.
Setting up on DBs usually works with this deck while retrieving with celebration in most matchups. Barrier and fallen portals help prevent beatdowns.
Throw away on the edges so you can easily track a six with mirax and have 5 retrieval when you need it.
Match ups:
X-wing cannons take out zuckuss and friends, so their not a problem.
The only other space deck that can pose a problem is imperial command decks with many admirals and chimeara and other SDs. Just Make sure you grab imperial command with allegations, and dont spread your forces to thin.
If the opponent plays combat response, be wary of baron fel and get all you maneuvar boosting cards on table asap.
Against huntdown or BHBM, I put luke in a patrol craft on ground, or sub out 2 cards for OOC combo.
Like I said before, tatooine celebration works throughout most matchups, and Legendary starfighter wins lots of games.
If I missed anything, tell me and I will post it. Thanks

I already have 2 han and 2 chewie.
Milenium falcon lets me get either one with squadron assignments, and I can get falcon with life debt or any all wings combo which there are 4 of total in this deck. So Han and chewie both always hit table before turn 3-4.
Hey smugglers arent weak, If they were, WYS wouldnt be the overdominant deck that it is. Han and chewie together are only deploy 9 forfiet crapload, power 10, two weapons forfiet =0 and 5 destiny with life debt, add in a fallen portal and that can withstand a beatdown with 2 characters. The only problem is if igg88 comes, but then I just fallen portal his butt.
Luke is not essential either, I can hold kessel and tatooine without him, That's why I have celebration and on the edge retrieval also.
This deck can beat any BHBM deck out there (At least the ones Ive played which are very good)
Han is the man on the ground actually, I need him and chewie on ground usually. I was actually thinking the opposite of you, to put han only on ground. Yes, outrider could die, but that hasnt happened yet, I have so many maneuvar boosting cards its not funny, and lots of high forfiet pilots to cover attrition. My space is awesome even without him, Once I get off legendary starfighter, then i stock my people on kessel, and they die. 5 force a turn just like that.
Palace raiders are good and i used to have 3 in the deck, but they suck against watto and that was the only deck i have a little problem with. Ill probably fo with three again.
