Ten-Eyed Man

The Rebel Officer suffers from much the same problem as several of the Separatist Sith-types. Looking at the piece alone, he's not bad at all, but when put in the context of his faction, he's really hard to use. At first glance, for 13 points the Officer is a steal. His numbers are only okay, but his Attack-boosting Commander Effect is great. Or would be, if it wasn't for non-Uniques only and in the Rebel faction. The Rebels are arguably the most Unique-driven faction in the game (the Sith and Vong are the only ones I can think of that might be more so, but they're minor factions), so you're just not usually going to find a lot of use for this CE. You might consider it for the Rebel Snowspeeder, a terrific non-Unique that could use a bit more Attack, but there's no way the poor Officer can keep up with the insanely fast 'speeders, and the Rebels aren't one of the two factions that can use Booming Voice to make it irrelevant where the commander stands. Top it all off with the fact that for a mere eight points more you can get the amazing Admiral Ackbar, and the Rebel Officer is simply in the wrong faction. His one redeeming feature, really, is that he looks great with the other Hoth-themed Rebel pieces. Enjoy that feature, if nothing else. Overall rating in 100: 2.5 Overall rating in 200: 2.5
