[menace64]

The Star Wars Block

01 Star Wars (Click here to view the card list!)

• The first set! Introduces the cultures (Fringe, Imperial, Jedi, Rebellion, Sith, Tatooine) and sets the stage for later developments. Innovations include the Creature deck and Force Rares.

02 A Few Maneuvers (Click here to view the card list!)

• Starships! Just like artifacts were held off from the first set in LotR, starships are an advanced card type that can change the nature of your entire game.

03 The Death Star

• The Death Star finally makes its appearance in the game (since we're pretending that A New Hope just came out). The Sith culture gets starships of its own.

The Empire Block
04 The Empire Strikes Back

• Introducing the Bespin culture! Speeders, Snowtroopers, new creatures and - of course - Imperial Walkers!

00 Star Wars Anthology

• A collection of 18 reprints from the previous block, re-written in the flowing script of Aurebesh, along with booster packs of each of the 3 sets in the block, this anthology is a great introduction to the game for players new and old, and is a sought-after prize for collectors.

05 Hunters and Heroes

• The long-awaited appearance of Yoda and the gang of Vader's bounty hunters, H&H brings new tools and weapons to both sides of your deck! New tools of the Sith make corrupting the Apprentice even easier.

00 Star Wars Box Set: A New Hope

• A limited-edition collector's item, featuring 10 all-new cards, most with images custom-designed by Industrial Light and Magic. This box set brings older cultures up to date and promises to keep the game fresh and exciting.

06 Shadows of the Empire

The Jedi Block
07 Return of the Jedi

• Enter the Ewoks! Don't fall prey to Jabba and his horde of ruffians!

00 Empire Strikes Back Anthology

• A collection of 18 reprints from the previous block, re-written in the flowing script of Aurebesh, along with booster packs of each of the 3 sets in the block, this anthology is a great introduction to the game for players new and old, and is a sought-after prize for collectors.

08 Sentry Moon

• Now the Rebellion takes the fight to the Empire. New subcultures for both the Imperial and Rebellion cultures based around the jungle-world of Endor, along with powerful new cards for all the cultures.

10 The Power of the Dark Side

• Emperor Palpatine - at long last - makes his debut, bringing with him a slew of Sith minions and powerful cards! The climatic battle above Endor brings a sense of closure to this game!

00 Return of the Jedi Anthology

• A collection of 18 reprints from the previous block, re-written in the flowing script of Aurebesh, along with booster packs of each of the 3 sets in the block, this anthology is a great introduction to the game for players new and old, and is a sought-after prize for collectors.

11 The True Nature of the Force

• An all-inclusive, commemorative box set featuring 40 premium-level cards found nowhere else in the game, this set hails the end of Star Wars TCG, embracing the favorite aspects of an amazing journey! New versions of favorite characters - along with new cards featuring images designed by Industrial Light and Magic - this set is a must-have for any player or collector!

I've already created cardlists for each of the 9 primary sets, developing mechanics and themes along the way, generally getting a feel for the progression of the game in much the same way as LotR TCG evolved and expanded. I pretended that these sets released as the Star Wars films hit theatres (just like LotR!), so major plot points were saved for expansions, and characters like Yoda and the Emperor missed the base sets entirely.[/list]
