Good call on primary weapon, I forgot that bit. Though what I meant about target lock is, Rey+Finn in effect adds a partial die. You have to reroll it to recover the blank Finn adds (and can't reroll again if that "first roll" doesn't work out), while a normal die could be rolled then rerolled for better overall odds. But it's fair to still call it the 8th die as long as you take the 8th's possibly lowered chance into consideration.

I like the "Norra 9" combo. Shara Bey can provide the extra lock for rerolling Finn.

Specifically, any rebel ship with a crew + elite + 3 primary weapon can have 8+ attack dice, using Swarm Leader + Finn and supported by Jan Ors. These are the  Attack Shuttle,   B-Wing, YT-1300, and U-Wing... plus ARCs with title. There are probably some more fantastic pilot options in there too.

It's a tough combo to pull off: Jan must be in range and unstressed, 2 allies with evade tokens must have the target in arc, and the attacking ship must have a way to reroll Finn's die (like a target lock, Rey, or Shara with a lock). But it's fantastic that it's possible.
