Easter eggs on Decipher Star Wars CCG cards are hidden pictures, call-outs and other visual details that have no effect on play.[1][2] Designers hid them, and players hunted them.[1] Decipher posted the finds in its Art Show through Jabba's Palace Limited.[3] Later-set eggs are collector finds.[2]
Jokes in card titles, lore and game text are listed at Jokes. They include the Major Bren Derlin lore line and the Bespin Motors Void Spider THX 1138 title, which Decipher's Art Show listed as eggs. Card titles that scramble employee and fan names are listed separately at Anagrams.
