I've spent a few days looking at the wording and trying to understand why a Mouse Droid would work on someone like Thrawn but not Bail Organa.

Senator Bail Organa's CE:
Once per turn, on his turn, if he has a Medium ally with a Force Rating within 6 squares, you may place that ally in a square adjacent to this character.

Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn's CE:
At the end of this character's turn, 2 Imperial allies within 6 squares of this character who are the same size may switch positions.

Relay Orders:
Relay Orders (Each allied commander can count distance from this character as well as from itself for the purpose of commander effects)

I don't understand how the interaction between Bail and Relay does not work, but the interaction between Thrawn and Mouse droid does. Maybe I have played Thrawn wrong the whole time and it actually does not work?

If Relay Orders says that each allied commander can count the distance from the character that has Relay Orders for the purposes of the CE, and the CE says "if this character has a medium ally with a Force rating within 6 squares," then it stands to reason that I can count to the Mouse Droid as well as Bail when determining whether or not I can move an ally with a Force rating adjacent to Bail or the Mouse Droid, in the same way that I can count the distance from the Mouse Droid to 2 characters for Thrawn's CE. I don't see a difference.

It's fine that that's not the intention, I get it because it seems like it would be pretty busted (although fun) to let Bail's CE work with Relay Orders.

What can be done to clear up the wording such that it is clear that Organa's CE does carry with Relay Orders? In my opinion it's not clear at all that it wouldn't work. I am not trying to be mean or disrespectful, I genuinely am not seeing the distinction. The closest I get is under Bail's CE, it says "he," but this is ambiguous. Is "he" Bail or "he" the commander, ie, the mouse droid?

If it were up to me, I would change Bail commander effect to the following (understanding full-well that this is outside the normative verbage of CEs):
Once per turn, on his turn, if a character named Senator Bail Organa has a Medium ally with a Force Rating within 6 squares, then you may place that ally in a square adjacent to him.

Thoughts?

Thank again,
Dylan
