So there's a fair guarantee Disney will release new HD "despecialized" editions in 2021. It's not as if they don't have the resources to do it or are ignorant of the demand.

I just got a few packs of "Force Attax" cards for my kids and they feature characters from the original trilogy and Force Awakens but not the prequels lol
I have also just spent half an hour vainly searching for instructions on how to play. Kind of shocked that 1) I can't figure out a card game for kids and 2) that a Disney/Topps Star Wars merch gambit doesn't have either official instructions online anywhere nor forums/geek chat spelling it out

The game is designed for two players. Each player must have 12 cards in their unit (deck), with the following deck building rules - at least 4 different character types, only 1 star foil, only 1 force master.Players lay their cards (all 12) faced down, and flip a coin to see who goes first. First player pick the card to play with and the type of action (defense or attack). Second player responds with his own card of choice. Player with higher number wins the turn. There are 12 turns in the game. Played cards are discarded and the game continues with remaining cards, until all 12 are played (12 turns). Winner of the game is the player with the higher number of winning turns.

Yes kinda! but there are also "strike force" cards, which I don't know what they do - affiliated to the Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, the, er, Ewoks, and unaffiliated ones with the new black TIE fighters on one side. I THINK you can collect a group of these in order to amplify the stats of your main cards somehow. I also see 'Power Boost' cards featuring Chewie and Captain Phasma, which will also boost stats. But how and when these are played I have no idea..

lol, linked from that page:
Dear ChumsCan a Strike Force, if held, be used multiple times to boost different Character Cards within a game, or just the once?Also, am I right in presuming that these cards are counted separately from your main hand of 12 cards?Yours confusedIgPosted Tue Nov 2, 2010 10:04 pm

Ok I got a big 'starter kit' w/binder and instrux and I'm not really any further towards getting it. I think it's just a poor game. On the other hand, and I think this is the point, the cards are awesome!! Plus there were these useless/rad A-4 sized inserts:

lol there are 200-something possible cards in the set; the binder holds a maximum of 198

I was briefly transported back to the days of the late 90s when reading a Star Wars book or five sounded like a good idea. They're quick reads, I swear.
