A bit confused about this card.

 

Costs 3 to play, gives 2 unit damage, can give a shield to another unit/objective.

 

However, if it gets destroyed, I have to focused down my own character and droid units, right?

 

That seems like one heck of a downside.  So, the only use is during a last push at the end of the game if attacking or dumping into an edge battle it seems.

The shield can be placed on the Sandcrawler itself, making it quite difficult to destroy (if you don't want its reaction to trigger). The reaction itself affects both your units and your opponent's units, so you can really slow down the offense for one or even two turns with all the focus tokens. Furthermore, if your deck is vehicle-heavy, you won't suffer much from the reaction.

Well that's clarifying.  If it ties down opponents as well, then I can see an upside to the forced reaction.
