Strategy
By Justin Pakes, Jedi Knight[1]
So you've always wished that Chewbacca had a lightsaber? Well, that was never really going to happen,. so here's the next best thing. A personalized bowcaster!
For firing purposes, this is as effective as a lightsaber. Free deploy and free firing, two destiny draws, forfeit = 0. It lacks the drain text of lightsabers, but you cannot have everything. in fact, if you stock it in a Wookiee deck, you may actually be able to deploy it on a non-unique "walking carpet". Not cheap, but possible!
Owning a weapon pretty much makes you the #1 target for your opponent's weapons. So use Chewbacca Of Kashyyyk if you can for his extended defense value, or give Chewie a cape. And look out for the Dark Lord of Choke!
Combo:
= your opponent has two characters less than he started the turn with, and it's only the Control Phase!
