Played this yesterday, good game is good. More complex than I thought it'd be.

My mate bought a couple of boxes and gave me all his spares, got a couple of Qui-Gon's, Padawan, Reys Staff, Jedi Robes and a bunch of commons/uncommons so I think i'll pick up a Rey starter.

I've heard that this game was an attempt by Fantasy Flight to keep the Star Wars license by raking in enough money Disney wouldn't dare mess with it. Apparently there were concerns with Disney wanting full control of the brand or something? Has anyone else heard this?
Never heard this but wouldn't surprise me if it was true. Neither do I blame them for doing it because it seems like they are doing it right.

I mean, don't give us a decklist or anything. Grats on the win. How many people in your area playing?

Edit: Actually you probably don't have a decklist since it looks like you borrowed the deck. Any cards you can remember? Do you know he ran 2x Force Throw? I think that is one of the best cards available right now and only a one of in the Rey starter.
It was a pretty bad deck tbh and not worth emulating, it did have two Force Throw and two One With The Force that were MVP though

we had about 8 people show up for the first night

Expect a lot of stuff on Ebay soon. A ton of people that ordered the 3x booster packs through Amazon got shipped 3x booster boxes instead. Expect stuff to start flooding the market, as rather than 10000 people getting 3 booster packs, 1000 people are getting 3 booster boxes and with those extras in the hands of a few there will come more ebay auctions.

Also, if you were one of the lucky people to get 3x booster boxes instead: congrats. I preordered and had a ton of stuff, so didn't bother ordering the packs even though i'm positive i would have gotten 3x booster boxes instead. I was looking at ordering 3 as they went up on Amazon. It looks like it was the first few people to order on Friday, when they went up. People that ordered after that only got the 3 packs they ordered, so at some point they figured out their mistake and started shipping normally.
don't they just normally cancel orders like that? that's one hell of a fuckup

Do the KMC hyper mattes fit snuggly on these Star Wars cards? I hate cards constantly shifting around in sleeves
Not really, the sw cards are slimmer than normal

they don't shift much at all though

The man at my local tournament today who has bought six booster boxes was very upset when he lost to my Kylo+Stormtrooper+Stormtrooper deck made of 3 starters + 3 boosters.

Intimidate is a very good card.

I usually netdeck, go to an event and play the deck I copied, then make changes based on how those games went

It's good to have a base to start from

Without netdecking I would choose a wincon to start with. Then choose character's and a background that fit the wincon or wincons best.

Then choose cards....

Ideally that's what you'd want to do but when you don't have a group to test against you have to go to events to test

It's impossible unless you want to spend close to $1000 now.
I've got most to it except for some purples for like $200-$300 at an estimate

missing Han, Luke, Luke's Saber, Commanding Presence, Poe, 1 Force Choke, 1 Phasma

If I want to complete it then I'll need to spend about $400 which just isn't a thing I can justify

Why does noone play hyperloop? If X-wing had a broken as gently caress gimmick like thta you'd expect to see 30% of any given tournament running it.
because you get gently caress all done while hyperlooping

Leia/Ackbar @ Frozen Wastes

Upgrade ( 10 )

x2 All In
x2 Block
x2 Defensive Position
