straight from WOTC.
Side Note: Emperor Palpatine the actual figure does have execute order 66, which i found funny lol so look out mike if he gets pulled.
Q: Do activations of characters who combine fire count against the limit of 2 activations per phase? The rulebook doesn't say that Combined Fire activations are "free," but it's implied in the rulebook diagram.
A: An unlimited number of allied characters may activate immediately to combine fire, giving the attacker a +4 bonus to Attack for each character activated in this fashion. The attacker's turn does count as one of the 2 activations allowed in a phase. The combining characters do not count against that limit, but they do count as having activated that round.

Q: Can characters with commander effects benefit from commander effects themselves?
A: Yes. Commander effects that affect "allies" work on other characters in your or a teammate's squad, even if they have commander effects of their own. Commander effects that are restricted to followers, though, do not. For example, Darth Vader, Dark Jedi's commander effect works on an Imperial Officer, who does not have a Force rating: "Whenever an allied character without a Force rating gets a natural 1 on any roll, that character is defeated and all other allies without a Force rating get +2 Attack. (These bonuses stack.)

Q: Durge has Double Attack and Regeneration 10, which says, "If this character doesn't move on his turn, remove 10 damage from him at the end of that turn." Will Durge regenerate 10 points of damage if he uses his move action to take his second attack? He hasn't moved, but he has spent his move action.
A: Remember, there are no "move actions" like in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. In the Star Wars Miniatures Game, a character either moves or doesn't, and "move" is meant literally. Since Durge isn't moving, he gets the benefit of Regeneration on turns in which he uses Double Attack.

Q: Does a Large character gain cover if any part of it is in (or behind) a square containing low objects, or does the whole body have to be in (or behind) low objects?
A: If any part of the Large character is in or behind a square containing low objects, it gains the benefit of cover.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
determine whether the defender has cover, the attacking player chooses a corner of any square in the attacking character's space. (For big attackers, you can even choose the corners of squares along the sides of or within the attacking character's space.) The attacking player can -- and often must -- choose a corner that can't be used to establish line of sight. Next, the attacking player attempts to trace unobstructed lines from that corner to all parts of the defending character's space. (For big defenders, this means all parts of all squares of the defender's space.) A line is unobstructed if it crosses neither walls nor squares containing low objects or characters. Unlike line of sight, just touching one of those things doesn't provide cover; the traced line must actually cross the square containing the character or terrain feature. (Exception: When determining cover, an attacker can ignore low objects in its own space and any adjacent squares.) If the attacking player can trace unobstructed lines to all parts of the defender's space, the defender does not have cover. However, if one or more of the traced lines is obstructed, the defender has cover (+4 bonus to Defense).
i figured id bold that cos its huge.

Q: Is there any limit to the number of Force Points a character with Force Renewal can accumulate?
A: No. A character may accumulate any number of Force Points unless the special ability granting them says otherwise.

Kouhun Infestation
Q: How do you count the range to a potential target of Kouhun Infestation?
A: You count range just as you would count for any special ability -- diagonals count as 2 squares, but squares containing low objects and difficult terrain do not. You have to count around walls as normal, even though you don't need line of sight to the target. The range is measured along the shortest path to the target. See the glossary definition of range for more details.
Q: Does Kouhun Infestation work through closed doors?
A: No. (Attack of the Clones demonstrates that they can't even get through windows without a little help!) As noted in the glossary, you can't count range through a wall, and a closed door is treated as a wall for all purposes.
Q: What about the fact that this ability doesn't require line of sight? Wouldn't that mean it should work through walls or closed doors, anyway?
A: No. Line of sight is normally a requirement for any target of special abilities (just as it would be a requirement for a normal attack). Dropping that requirement does not change how range is measured.
Q: If Kouhun Infestation is used against a target not in line of sight, how would that work with the cover and adjacent enemy requirements for targeting enemies?
A: First, if Zam Wesell has an adjacent enemy, she would not be able to use Kouhun Infestation against any nonadjacent target. (This is exactly the same as any other attack or special ability.) Second, a target not in line of sight would automatically be considered to have cover – obviously, it would be impossible to draw an unobstructed line to all parts of the target's space. Thus, Kouhun Infestation can't be used against a target not in line of sight unless that target is also the nearest enemy.
Q: Do I need to make an attack roll for Kouhun Infestation to work, or does the target merely need to be within range?
A: Kouhun Infestation is not an attack, so no attack roll is required. The target does get a save, though.
Q: Can I use defensive abilities such as Lightsaber Deflect against Kouhun Infestation? How about a Destroyer Droid's Shields?
A: Lightsaber Deflect and similar abilities can't protect against Kouhun Infestation because they apply only against actual attacks. In contrast, a Destroyer Droid's Shields would apply against Kouhun Infestation because the ability reduces damage from any source, not just attacks.
VERY good to know, so i was using it semi wrong. but mostly right.
