The published list has 61 cards.
Decklist
Strategy
The strategy is deploy Artoo at the beginning of the game, find Han and deploy him with his blaster. Shoot during control phases and cancel opponent's battles with Fire Extingushers. Cancel out drains while controlling the ground using Leia and Harc Seff if needed. Battle Plan will make opponent have to use alot of additional force each turn to drain, while you use little force to retrieve and cancel drains (provided you control the battlegrounds). You should only need to control one site to give the needed drains each turn, just use Lightsabers and Lightsaber Proficiency. Move Han and Artoo when needed with Nabrun Lieds (usually only once per game). Brainiac gives an amazing surprise to your opponent in this deck when he deploys cheaply to a battle initated against your lone Han using Out of Somewhere. It's a combo that really works. I suppouse you could use space in this deck, but I've found that it's better to let your opponent temporarily control space and ground so he will deploy his Battle Order Defensive Shield (which almost everyone plays with). When he does this, you lay out your Battle Plan Defensive Shield and optionally Wars Not Make One Great to make drains cost +7 force to initiate! Don't worry, I've never come up against a battleground I couldn't control- and I dbout you would either. This is the deck that caused me to redesign all of my Dark Side decks by adding 3x Sniper.
