Introduction
The Star Wars Customizable Card Game remains one of the most successful CCGs in history. First released in 1995,
the game has reached amazing levels of both critical acclaim and market success (often second only to Magic: The
Gathering itself in sales). While the game has not been published for quite some time, it remains alive and well. This is
due in no small part to the way it so accurately captures in card form the many complexities and exciting events of the
Star Wars films. From training to be a Jedi to tracking down and capturing fugitives, from launching attacks from your
hidden rebel base to blowing up traitorous worlds, from constructing a Death Star to conquering the planet Naboo - as
the game's advertisement so often put it, if it's in your head, it's in here. Star Wars CCG is equal parts a card game,
miniatures game and role-playing game, except that you need no dice, tape measures, character sheets, life counters,
or markers.

You do, however, have this great big book.

As one of the oldest CCG's still running, many things have arisen over the years to shape how the game works. This
has led to some frustration about how to even play the game, a definite negative. With this in mind, this rulebook has
been created to bring all the different ideas together in one place and try to not only offer the answers, but to help you
understand why they are the answers we're using. Many things have changed to make this even easier for new
players coming in and existing players who've never really looked at the "guts" of how the game works. But we have
made two important compromises when it came to simplicity:
No Card Left Behind - Our changes will not prevent you from using a card. It may no longer work the same, it may
work better or worse, but it will still do something.
Feel The Force - We have the unique honor of getting to play in the Star Wars universe, so we will try to represent
its events in card form as often as possible. The game is the most fun when you feel like humming John
Williams's music.

Some things have stayed the same and some things have changed. Rest assured that all those matters have been
carefully weighed, because these decisions were not made by someone looking how best to get a buck out of your
pocket, or finding the easiest way to come in and get their paycheck at the end of the day. This book was collected,
written, examined, edited, debated, and finally published by people who love this game, and love Star Wars. They are
players just like you, and what they want out of this most is to have fun playing it.

Even if they occasionally have to break out this great big book.

Advanced Rulebook 2023 Edition - Released August 2023

This Advanced Rulebook is the official rulebook for Star Wars: CCG, and replaces all previous rulebooks, glossaries,
and rulings. Newer rulings are temporarily placed online (see Appendix F) until they are eventually compiled into the
next edition of the Advanced Rulebook.

Some of the most important current rulings, errata, and updates in this revision of the Advanced Rulebook include:
• Move Away (p. 70-71) - The rules for game text that allows (or requires) cards to "move away" have received
a major rewrite to clarify how this text works in a wide range of scenarios. Several examples are included.
• Destiny Draw Targeting X (p. 21) - What does it mean when a card such as A Few Maneuvers refers to a
destiny draw targeting something? This has now been defined thoroughly with a new rulebook entry.
• All Your Ability Is Provided By X (p. 30) - This new entry clarifies that, for example, Scum And Villainy
requires at least one alien on table to be providing ability in order for the benefits to be utilized.
• "For any reason" (p. 40) - This new game term allows an All Cards / All Characters situation to be averted.
• Paying Costs (p. 15) - Taking a just drawn destiny into hand to cancel and cause a redraw is not a "cost" of
initiation, and instead occurs during the result step.
• Substituted Destinies (p. 32) - Although substituted destinies themselves are unmodifiable, it is possible that
the source value (e.g. a card on Sando Aqua Monster) might already be modified beforehand, in which case it
applies.

May the Force be with you!

Section A. Force, Decks, Piles, & The Table
The Force is an energy field generated by all living
things and represented as the basic unit of
measurement in the game (1 unit of Life Force = 1

used is extremely important. During play, your Force

Game text that searches for a specific word on a card
(usually in title, lore, or game text) cannot be matched if
that word is part of another word (though if the word is a
plural or possessive, that remains a valid target). If the
action depends upon more than one word in the card
title then all the search keywords must also be in the
same order and without any other words in between.
For example, ISB Operations looks for characters with
"Rebel" in lore; thus anyone with "Rebel," "Rebel's," or
"Rebels" is valid, but "rebellious" isn't, since it's part of
another word.

Armed And Dangerous ("If a battle or duel was just

initiated, he would be a target; since you cannot know if

unless you look, you don't target it yet. Once the action
has its results, you then look through the Reserve Deck
and attempt to find a valid target; if you cannot, the
action merely has no result (the action cannot be
undone because it has already successfully resolved)
and the Interrupt is placed wherever it normally would
be (in this case, the Lost Pile, because it's a Lost
Interrupt). If you do find such a weapon (even if you
don't want it) it is still targeted and you would have to
deploy it.
A Few Maneuvers ("Add 2 to hyperspeed and
maneuver of any starfighter for the remainder of this
turn.") Targets a starfighter, its hyperspeed, and its
maneuver. Thus, it cannot target a TIE Fighter because
a TIE Fighter has no hyperspeed (you cannot modify a
value that doesn't exist). Note, however, that if you use
S-Foils to reset an X-Wing's hyperspeed to 0 you could
target it; the Implied Target Rule prevents you from
targeting a value that doesn't exist, but you may still
target one that cannot be modified (it simply fails to
modify that value).

Draw X Choose Y - Example 1
Dash in Rogue 12 (applicable text: During battle, if with
another T-47 and about to draw a battle destiny, may
draw two and choose one.) is in a battle with another T-
47, and the Light Side player is limited to ONE battle
destiny. In this situation Dash in Rogue 12's "draw 2
and choose 1" text cannot be used because both
destinies drawn with Dash count as battle destiny
draws.
Draw X Choose Y - Example 2
If a similar situation played out, but the Light Side player
was limited 2 battle destinies instead of 1, the Light
Side player using Dash in Rogue 12's text on 1 destiny
would reach the limit of two battle destinies on its own,
because even though only one such destiny would be
chosen, two destinies were still drawn. If the light side
player had a way to add a battle destiny in this
example, they would be better off NOT using Dash in
Rogue 12's text and simply drawing 2 normal destinies,
because using Dash in Rogue 12's text on the first
destiny would cause them to reach the limit of 2,
preventing them from drawing the added battle destiny
after.
Draw X Choose Y - Example 3
Dash in Rogue 12 is in a battle with Commander Luke
Skywalker (V) piloting Rogue 1 (so that Luke draws 2
battle destiny if unable to otherwise). Luke's text will be
usable because when it checks how many destinies
Light Side is scheduled to draw at the beginning of the
power segment, it will only see 1. (Luke's text only
counts one destiny able to be drawn because Dash in
Rogue 12's text has not triggered yet - it is only usable
when the Light Side is about to draw a battle destiny).
While the Light Side may theoretically use Dash in
Rogue 12's text to draw 2 and choose 1 on the first
destiny drawn, they would no longer be able to draw the
2nd destiny with Luke's text, because players may
never combine multiple destiny drawing to draw more
than the "if unable to otherwise" text allows (see "Battle
Destiny - Draws X Battle Destiny If Unable To
Otherwise", Ch. 6). In this case, drawing 2 and
choosing 1 on the first destiny and attempting to draw
the second would mean the Light Side would be
drawing 3 battle destinies, which would be prevented by
"if unable to otherwise" rules. If the first destiny with
Luke's text is drawn normally, the Light Side player may
not use Dash in Rogue 12's text on the second destiny
from Luke's text, because again, that would result in the
Light Side player drawing 3 destinies and would be
prevented. In short, like example 2, the Light Side
player would be better off simply drawing 2 normal
battle destinies rather than using Dash in Rogue 12's
text in this situation.

Light wants to drain at Watto's Junkyard, and he can do
so because while the dark side has cards there, there's
no actual ability, thus Dark has no presence there and
Light controls the site. In order to drain, however, Light
must use 3 Force for Battle Order; if he didn't, then the
drain wouldn't be initiated and Dark wouldn't have to
stack a card on Credits. So Light uses 3 Force, initiating
the drain; Dark places a card on Credits, then loses 1 to
the drain itself. Over at the Droid Workshop, Leia also
controls the site, because although Dark has two
characters there, neither of them have ability, and thus
provide no presence. Light uses 3 Force and drains for
1 there.

still cannot drain because Leia has presence there; it
too cannot even be initiated. Bossk could drain if he
wished, but it would cost 3 Force to do so, and since it
would only allow him to activate 1 Force with Jabba's
ability it's not worth the bother. So Dark performs no
Force drains this turn. He deploys Arica (an undercover
spy) to Watto's Junkyard. He also moves Bossk over to
Leia's site.
It's the light side's turn, and he finds himself in the same
boat. Leia and Bossk both occupy the Droid Workshop,
so neither may Force drain there. At Watto's Junkyard,
the Sandspeeder controls it, but Arica as an undercover
spy prevents the drain from being initiated; thus, the
dark side need not stack a card on Credits. Instead
Light deploys Undercover on Leia, causing her to also
become an undercover spy, and moves the
Sandspeeder over to Jabba's Palace.
It's the dark side's turn, and he still cannot drain at the
Audience Chamber. Also, he may not drain at the Droid
Workshop because even though Leia has no presence,
she's an undercover spy, and that prevents drains from
being initiated (EV-9D9's game text only allows her to

If Leia (V) were crossed over, she would take on the
new persona name and new card title of Lady Vader
and her text which states "may lose 1 Force to place

Vader". Likewise if Luke With Lightsaber crosses over,

Lightsaber" to "Son Of Vader's Lightsaber." Note that
these changes are only for the crossed over character

could not deploy on Anakin because that card deploys
only on Vader.
A card that intends to reference one of the "crossable"
personas listed above on both sides of the Force will
use both persona names, such as "Vader or Anakin;"
otherwise it is always a reference to only one side (so
that "any Luke" would never refer to Son Of Vader).
Crossing Over Example
Light has used the objective Mind What You Have
Learned to have Son of Skywalker complete all six Jedi
Tests, and he is currently armed with Luke's Blaster
Pistol and Luke's Lightsaber (which Light deployed
using Son of Skywalker's "once per game" text).
Dark then defeats Luke using Epic Duel and Luke
crosses over. At this moment:
• This copy of the Luke character card ceases being
Luke and becomes Son Of Vader (both in persona
name and in card title)
• Luke ceases being a Skywalker
• Luke ceases being a Rebel and becomes an Imperial
• Luke ceases being a Jedi and becomes a Dark Jedi
• Any cards on him that target him as being Luke (such
as Luke's Lightsaber) are lost, except for You Must
Confront Vader, since it's a Jedi Test. Luke's Blaster
Pistol remains because it deploys on a warrior, which
he is (but it does not gain any of the benefits of being
"targeted by Luke" because he is no longer Luke).
• The dark side gets the benefits of all Luke's Jedi tests.
• Son of Skywalker's game text now states "a lightsaber
may deploy on Son Of Vader (for free)" and
furthermore, because the card is now actually titled
Son Of Vader, this new "once per game" text is
considered to have never been used for this card title,
so the Dark player may use it.
Save You It Can does not affect the Jedi Tests,
because it affects Luke's tests, not Son Of Vader's (they
are not suspended now that Luke is no longer on table,
but if Son Of Vader leaves table they'll be lost).
Likewise it no longer allows the character to ignore
location deployment restrictions.

re-circulate again even though there are cards there;
they will be re-circulated at the end of the dark side
player's turn.
End of Turn - Examples
Dark is playing Hunt Down And Destroy The Jedi
versus Light's Plead My Case To The Senate. Both
have flipped their objectives. Light has placed Senator
Palpatine on the Political Effect card I Will Not Defer,
and both Darth Vader and Blizzard 4 are at the Yavin 4:
Docking Bay. It's the dark side player's turn, during
which he had played Sense, which Light had grabbed
using Grappling Hook (making Sense unique). Dark still
has Visage Of The Emperor ("At the end of each
player's turn, each player must lose 1 Force.") on table.
It is now the end of Dark's turn, and both players re-
circulate. There are two mandatory end of turn actions:
the Force loss from Visage Of The Emperor, and the
maintenance cost of Blizzard 4, which are then treated
as competing automatic actions. Since it's the end of
the dark side player's turn it is treated as if it were his
turn for all purposes, so he may choose which order for
these events to occur in. He chooses to pay for Blizzard
4 first, using 1 Force and placing it on his empty Used
Pile. Now the Force loss from Visage happens; Dark
loses nothing because his objective protects him, so
only Light loses Force.
Light has three cards in hand: It's A Hit!, It Could Be
Worse, and Transmission Terminated. Transmission
Terminated can cancel holograms, but that cannot
occur at this time because it's not a valid end of turn
action. However, Light is about to lose Force, and thus
can play It Could Be Worse now, because responses
may still be played. He does so, using 1 Force (which
goes on his empty Used Pile. Dark plays It's Worse to
cancel it; responses don't have to be to end of turn
actions, they may play out normally. Light plays It's A
Hit! to cancel It's Worse. Dark has a Sense in hand, but
unfortunately he can't play it because Sense is now
unique and he played a copy during his turn (it is still
treated as if it were his turn for all purposes, including
card uniqueness). Dark has no more responses, so It's
Worse is canceled, It Could Be Worse goes through,
and the loss from Visage Of The Emperor is thus
canceled.
With no more mandatory actions, optional end of turn
actions may now be initiated. Since it was the dark side
player's turn, he may take the first action; he passes (he
has no legal end of turn actions he can perform). Light
uses 2 Force to take Senator Palpatine off his Political
Effect and place him on the Used Pile. Dark passes,
Light passes, so now that start of the light side player's
turn begins. Dark has 1 card in his Used Pile, Light has
5 (the 1 used to pay for It Could Be Worse, It Could Be
Worse, the 2 used to pay for moving Palpatine, and
Palpatine himself). Those cards will continue to remain
there until they are re-circulated at the end of Light's
turn.

You may use both virtual and non-virtual cards in the
same deck. Some virtual cards (those with "(V)" in title),
regardless of version, are considered to have the same
title as the original card (thus meaning they are identical
cards for game purposes). Thus, if your opponent plays

added several icons; see Icons for a list of what they
are and how they work. In addition, the pilot icon is also
found in the game text of some characters, followed by
a number. This means that the indicated character adds
that amount to the power of anything he/she pilots. In
some cases, the piloting bonus is not applied to all
cards equally; in such cases the types of cards to which
the bonus applies will be indicated as well.
Virtual Cards and New Card Types
When a virtual card has a different card type than the
physical card (as indicated by the box above the card's
game text), the card's icon is considered to be changed
appropriately. Thus a virtual Defensive Shield might
replace with . This means that card cannot be
targeted as if it were the original card type (e.g., Affect
Mind (V) cannot be targeted by Alter).
Errata of Non-Virtual Version
Any errata to title, lore, destiny, or uniqueness of a card
will carry over to its virtual counterpart with the same
name, as well as any rulings regarding characteristics.
Thus, a virtual Captain Han Solo would be Corellian, a
virtual Ghhhk would not be a hologram, and a virtual

Each different planetary system is separated on the
table from the others, to make a visual separation
between them and to leave room for site and sector

emulates natural planet topographies while allowing the
players to actually create the layout of the planet as
they play. The location of a planet system relative to its
related sites on the table is completely arbitrary.
Meaning, it is not required that a system be deployed (Note: This applies solely to these buffer sites. Any

not be a battleground when deployed). If there is
another planet system on table where Forest could
deploy, he must deploy it, and he must deploy it to a
planet system besides Dagobah (unless, for some
reason, there is already a dark side Forest at that
system already; if there is a light side Forest of his
