I stumbled on to this! New Casual play event with a promo of some sort? Luke possibly? I think I will go with my local friend who's a dad, bring 3 Hawks and have some fun!

Will you be going in your area?

Arrg! Sometimes I hate living in a rural area with no game stores.

I hope my FLGS does this, my son is 7 and already loves to play, and this would be a great opportinity.

They are pushing the FLG's hard. Not everyone needs to be in a store to love the game on it's own. But this looks like it may be fun for some folks.

This is awesome. Fuzzy Jr. wil love this.

Given the bomb they threw at online retailers (not a criticism, just an observation - no need to re-start that argument, here) earlier this year, I would imagine that, yeah, they are going to push the FLGSs pretty hard and consistently to deliver on what FFG believes is the value they should be providing. IE., growing the game by reaching new players. It is, after all, specifically the reason that they chose to bet on FLGS vs OLGS. They're going to want to see a return on that decision.

no NOOOO THATS IMPOSSIBLE

They were supposed to post nationals and worlds news.....

It's a double sided Luke and Darth Vader card

Double-sided extended art Luke & Darth Vader card.

I love X-Wing so I'm thinking of going.

Three detriments:

1) Wife's like, "Are you kidding me?"

2) My LGS hardly pays attention to X-Wing and the people smell.

3) My LGS isn't very F.

Looks like the same art as the originals, but with reduced stats at the bottom to show more of the ships.

Wait, Darth Vader is Luke's father?

I have to catch up on my SW movies.

If I didn't JUST get the Disco Vader Alt. Art, I'd be super excited about this.

As it is, I barely run Vader in the current meta, I don't really need ANOTHER alt...

(But I wants it)

How many vaders and Luke alt arts does this put us up to?

OP dual card. Rebels can choose vader now. (Kidding)

...do people not know about the old oversized, dual-sided promo cards? They did Luke/Vader and Han/Boba Fett.

part of me wishes i had a kid to do this with, part of me is glad i dont.

Way to ruin the surprise for some of us! Is a little "spoiler" alert too much to ask for anymore?!

Common misconception. It's Anikan Skywalker that is Luke and Leia's father.

What? Leia is Luke's sister????

(Actually the rushed way this was revealed in Jedi was so lame even my seven year old self didn't buy it back in 83. He biggest thing I would change if the OT was 'reimagined')

Not to mention I think those were the exact alternate-extended art on the oversize card...

Edit: it just wasn't extended. These are, woot!
