Playtest cards
Playtest cards are non-retail Star Wars CCG pieces used while Decipher designed the game, or later collector copies of those tests. They are not the same object as Reflections Gold playtest stickers (those are a cancelled 2001 product). English retail cards are 63×88 mm; playtest pieces vary (photos, stickers on white-border stock, early layouts).
This page inventories scans in the community MPC print-ready Drive Playtest folder (Lightside / Darkside), linked from r/starwarsccgalters.[1][2] Category One's 2008 forum thread also posted Dagobah-era playtests (Millennium Falcon, Executor, Emperor).[3]
Decipher-era tests
Early layouts often differ from the printed card (stats, subtype, lore). Example: one Darth Vader playtest is labeled Jedi Knight with different game text than the Premiere card.
