Two leaders, two starting points

The Starter Box features the Icons Vader and Leia leaders. David Buisán illustrates both preview faces below: Vader advances with stormtroopers behind him, while Leia holds her blaster in a bright corridor. They make a themed Rebellion-and-Empire pairing for an artist page.

Darth Vader — No One to Stop Us

Keep 1/194 on your want list: this is the leader, not the Vader unit shown farther down. A leader has a unit face on its reverse; the landscape leader face is pictured here.

Princess Leia — On a Diplomatic Mission

The publisher also calls her Leia Organa in its product description. The printed card title is Princess Leia. Keep the landscape orientation in mind when choosing a binder layout beside portrait units.

One character, two very different chapters

Anakin and Vader are a straightforward story pair for a character page. Johnny Morrow paints a blue lightsaber cutting across Anakin’s picture; Reno gives Vader a red blade against a tall, gray interior. A family album takes a fairly dramatic turn here. The pair follows one person at two points in the story, through different artists and settings.

Anakin Skywalker — Destined for Darkness

His printed ability searches for a Darth Vader card when he is defeated. That gives the story pair a game connection as well. Keep both numbers on the page plan.

Darth Vader — Useless to Resist

This portrait unit is 67/194. It is a different card from leader 1/194, even though both say Darth Vader. Recording the subtitle and number keeps that difference visible in your collection.

The October 14 starter walkthrough describes two 30-card decks and three preset teaching packs for each deck, opened gradually between games. Some teaching cards come from earlier sets, so the fixed contents are not an Icons checklist. The box also includes two random Icons boosters.
