Get ready to pull the arms off of some Imperial squads with this rage inducing X-Wing build! Just let the Wookiee win if you know what’s good for ya!
The Heroes of the Resistance Chewbacca is a team player with his new ability. Whenever another friendly ship at range 1-3 is destroyed, Chewie gets to make an attack. If you build a swarm list, Chewie could get multiple attacks in a single turn! So let’s do just that. First let’s kit out our YT-1300.
Since Chewbacca could be making multiple attacks, he’s gonna need help connecting his attacks. Wookiees are known for their Rage and Chewie is no exception. As an action, he can assign 1 focus and 2 stress tokens to his ship, and also be able to reroll 3 attack dice until the end of the round. This can be great as a built in target lock for an entire combat phase, perhaps getting multiple attacks from destroyed friendlies. But there is the problem of the extra stress. Have no fear Kanan Jarrus is here!
Once per round after a friendly ship at range 1-2 executes a white maneuver, it may remove 1 stress token. With Kanan aboard the Chewie’s ship, he can drop stress with white maneuvers and be more flexible. It’s important to note that this upgrades does not require you to select “another” friendly ship. Chewie may enable himself to use Kanan’s ability since ships are considered to be at range 1 of themselves. 
Another great crew member to add could be the Inspiring Recruit. Once per round when a friendly ship at range 1-2 removes a stress token, you may remove 1 additional stress token. Now those 2 stress tokens from Rage will be a thing of the past! This build enables you to Rage every turn, and then get rid of the stress by the next, ready to get enraged all over again.
Tala Squadron Z-95s are great ships to add a swarm element to this list. You could fit 3 of these ion with munitions to help you whittle down your enemies. Since the Z-95s are so squishy, Chewie should be able to get his ability off with no sweat off his fur!
This Rebel swarm list has got it going on! Try it out for yourself and see if it causes your opponent to feel the Wookiee rage!
