C3-P0

By AussieJedi, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Rules Questions

so do I have to have 3-P0 out in play inorder to interrupt an event and therefore cancel it? I was thinking I would since he is a Unit.

what I originally thought would happen is that I have a resource available from my objective, keep him in my hand as a secret, then when an event is played, then put him out, pay the cost and cancel that superlaser or other nasty event played.

caused a bit of an argument in the game.

C-3PO has to be in play to use his ability, just like any other non-event card. In general, unless an ability explicity says it works from somewhere other than in play, it only works while the card is in play.
