Star Wars Rebellion: Rebel player panic — how do you not spiral

My partner crushed me as Empire twice in a row and I’m not even mad, I’m just standing in the kitchen at 1am thinking about how many Star Destroyers one galaxy needs.

Playing Rebels feels like juggling knives while the Death Star playlist runs in the background. Every probe droid feels personal.

How do you prioritize missions early without tipping your hand? I either play too safe and time runs out, or I spike too hard and get stomped.

We’re using base game only right now. If Rise of Skywalker expansion actually helps rebel agency tell me, but spoiler-free please — we haven’t opened anything yet.

Also how long until a new rebel stops trying to win space battles. asking for me.
