    Star Wars dying is a good thing, each release hemorrhaging money because people are tired of getting bad content. The sooner it dies or they get their act together to make better films and shows the better, I’d rather it become a legacy ip like the thing or have it sold off to another studio (which will never happen) than see it further destroyed by the incompetence leadership at lucasfilm. For me Star Wars died in 2014 when they axed the EU, then they turn around and say “we didn’t have any history or comics to go off of for the sequels.” And proceed to use and abuse the ideas and concepts from the eu in current canon. It’s like a zombie of a family member, it just reminds you off who they were and what they meant to you and ultimately what they are now is just a husk of what they were. People are tired of bad writing and ruining characters they love.

      @@JoaquinReinoso great question! So I love SW deck building game and originally stayed away from SWU because I had fears of getting in on a TCG and was content with my deck building game buttttt the artwork drew me in on SWU and the gameplay kept me in. I honestly think it’s fairly balanced, the “meta” is still taking shape. Granted, there will be cards in general that will help your deck be better as in any game, but I don’t think it’s by a large margin, you can stay fairly competitive and win if you just outplay your opponent. The game FEELS like a chess match as you only make 1 move per turn. Set 1 cards got a little pricey because FFG printed less supply than demand but they are reprinting set 1 this winter so cards will for that set will be pretty cheap again. Set 2 cards aren’t expensive at all because there was enough supply! I feel like the game is fairly healthy and balanced at the moment with the exception of the Boba leader, he’s pretty dang good and it’s a cheap leader card. Also they did their first competition “season 0” a couple of weeks ago to intentionally get new players familiar with that scene. It was fun! And there’s a lot of cheap deck options out there that are REALLY good! Check swudb.com and they have TONS of deck options! The Han card in this game is pretty dope too!

      Check in with your lgs to hear if they have players playing on a specific day. Most of us who has been in the game since the beginning has tons of cards to literally give away. You can make a pretty solid deck (Tarkin Yellow (Leader and Color of the base)) with just commons / uncommons and a few very cheap rares. I absolutely love this game, however, it is a licensed game, which generally tends to have a shorter lifespan than orginal tcg's. That said, they supposedly already have the next 7 expansions planned out. :)
