His Name Is Anakin is a Dark Effect from Tatooine.
Card Text
Deploy on table. Each non-battleground docking bay generates no more than one Force for either player. Opponent's aliens deploy +1 on Tatooine (or +2 if non-unique or to same Tatooine site as your Dark Jedi, or +4 if both). (Immune to Alter.)
Lore
Anakin dreamt that one day he would return to Tatooine to free the slaves. His aggression will one day be felt by the entire Republic.
Strategy
Anakin's aggression may one day be felt by the entire Republic, but with this card, you can make sure it is felt by your opponent right now. His Name Is Anakin's game text will put pressure on Staging Area decks that protect non-battleground docking bays like Home One: Docking Bay with a few cheap characters in order to generate large amounts of Force early in the game. If the Light Side still wants to use Staging Areas, they will have to be prepared to defend some battleground docking bays.
In addition, this card is another nail in the coffin for alien swarm decks. One of the benefits of the swarm deck is the ability to deploy large numbers of characters for relatively little Force. Such tactics will usually overwhelm the unprepared (and even the prepared) player. Now, those non-unique aliens will be deploying for at least two more Force. And those aliens will almost never get the drop on the likes of Vader or Maul on Tatooine, since they deploy for a whopping +4 Force.
