Star Wars Unlimited (SWU) has revealed its next new set, Legends of the Force. As its name suggests, the set revolves around Force-sensitive characters such as Anakin Skywalker and Darth Sidious. The set also features two new Spotlight decks, based around Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul.

How do the new reveals stack up with others in the Unlimited canon? Let’s take a look!

New Star Wars Unlimited Mechanics in Legends of the Force

Legends of the Force unveils two new mechanics to SWU. The first is the use of a token representing the Force. Shown above, this token denotes whether the Force is with you, granting you certain uses of abilities. When you expend a Force power, you remove your Force token. According to the official webpage for Legends of the Force, each player can only have one Force token at a time. “Using the Force” is the alternative term for expending this token (as one would imagine).

“Hidden” is the term for the other new keyword in the game. Units with the Hidden keyword cannot be attacked the same turn they enter play, unless they somehow gain the Sentinel keyword. You’ll see this in this set on cards like Anakin Skywalker.
