Introduction
You may have seen them on Tatooine, but now they're back! That's right-- Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie are on Endor, and they mean business, with big drains and bigger beatdowns.

STRATEGY:
This deck revolves around massive drains, to get my opponent to Endor, and beatdowns, for once my opponent comes there. From the beginning, I can pull Solo and Crix with Strike Planning, and Docking Bay 94 and the Endor Landing Platform with Insurrection and Aim High. Crix pulls Chewie, Beezer, Midge, and Yutani. Beezer pulls Obi’s Journal and Yutani pulls my Ewok Catapults.
Early on in the game, I hopefully have Daughter of Skywalker and/or Luke and/or The Signal and/or a few ASPs and/or Padme. Padme pulls Qui-Gon and Ben and The Signal pulls the Shield is Down (that’s such an essential card that I have two Signals). Insurrection and Aim High pulls all my sites except the Back Door, which the Shield is Down can pull, provided I get it out early, which is likely to happen with two Signals.
As for blowing up the Bunker, I don’t have any Explosive Charges because two stacked sevens (which I stack using my ASPs) will be enough. Once the Bunker is gone, my opponent loses eight, I retrieve eight, (I usually, if not always, wait for the Shield is Down before I blow up the Bunker), and my opponent’s hand goes in Used Pile (I just boosted their differential, DARN!).
Basically, I just get two ASPs out, get the Shield is Down out, pull Ewok Catapults with Yutani, pull sites with my objective and the Shield is Down, pull scouts with Madine, pull Madine with Strike Planning, and blow away the Bunker. The main reason I don’t start with the Shield is Down is because I don’t blow up the Bunker right away, so what’s the rush? Furthermore, I need Sai’torr Kal Fas right away to pull weapons, I need Strike Planning right away to pull generals, and I need Insurrection and Aim High right away to pull docking bays, limit my opponent’s retrieval and limit Elis Helrot.
EXPLANATION OF CARD CHOICES:
Corporal Midge: adds one to each of my drains where a scout is present. Need I say more?
Corporal Beezer: pulls Obi’s Journal, which is pretty nice with four sticks out, each of which is immune to Disarmed.
Captain Yutani: pulls Ewok Catapults. Stack 'em with ASPs and you’re good to go.
Fallen Portal: I’ll probably be chilling at the Back Door and getting massive drains there with my four sticks. This keeps my opponent from using Gary--er--Guri or Hidden Weapons, as it just kills whoever has the Mandalorian Armor.
The Signal: pulls the Shield is Down. I need that card to make this objective work. The Signal also has a destiny of five, which isn’t horrendous.
Life Debt, Don’t Get Cocky, Gift of the Mentor, Skywalkers, Rug Hug, I Know, and Protector: Remember I said this deck was about beatdowns? I Know is nice because I can pull Daughter of Skywalker and Anakin’s stick if someone battles Han (whom I can pull). Skywalkers is nice because it cancels Imperial Barrier.
Han’s Heavy Blaster Pistol (V): Has Sorry About the Mess built in. When used in conjunction with stacked sevens and Fallen Portal, I can pretty much pick off any three characters of my choice!
Padme Naberrie: I can pull their sticks with Sai’torr Kal Fas once I get them out, but I can’t pull Obi or Quiggy individually. Padme solves this problem. Plus, if my opponent is playing “capture the queen,” Padme’s not too important to this deck, so I can just not deploy her.
Ben Kenobi: I know, why not Obi-Wan, he can deploy anywhere? Ben is cool because he can revive characters, which Obi-Wan can’t. With Insurrection and Aim High, I can pull Docking Bay 94 and the Landing Platform, so I just deploy Ben to Docking Bay 94 and move him over.
Obi’s Journal: Okay, immune to Disarmed and cancel one weapon destiny for each stick.
ASP-707: lets me stack Ewok Catapults, each with destiny seven.
Anakin’s Podracer: in case someone podraces me, stacked sevens with Anakin’s Podracer will probably win the race.
CARDS I WOULD LIKE TO BRING IN:
Yoxgit: I’m playing with eight weapons and one device. Yoxgit would be nice to bring 'em back, expecially Obi’s Journal, as it is so easily cancelled with Blow Parried. I’d bring Yoxgit in, but there’s no room, nor can I pull him, nor can I bring him back if he dies, unlike a lot of characters in this deck.
More ASP-707’s and Ewok Catapults: Three of each, in my opinion, might be a little low. I’d bring more in, but there’s no room.
Ewok Celebration and a bunch of Ewoks: Ewok Celebration makes all my characters defense value plus three with two Ewoks at a site, combined with Obi’s Journal, unless my opponent has REALLY nice destiny, there’s no way anyone’s getting hit. Luke, if he had his stick, would be defense value ten.
Lightsaber Proficiency: Adds one to drains and power plus three. I’d bring it in, but there’s no room.
That’s One, Count Me In, and I’m With You Too: I had all this in at once, but it was hard to pull off, especially when I’m trying to blow up the Bunker at the same time. The only reason these effects aren’t in is because I ran out of room in my deck. Also, if my opponent saw all these effects, there is NO WAY that he would battle me, and that defeats the purpose of having them in the first place.
That’s all I have to say, so just PLEASE rate this deck and tell me what you think of my deck, what you think I should bring in, and what you think I should take out.
