Star Wars CCG (Decipher): Decipher has secured rights to keep selling Star Wars even after the new movie debuts in May 1999. "We're one of the few licensees that can continue selling the existing product," says marketing director Matt Mariani. "It has to do with the nature of customizable card games. They shouldn't really come to a conclusion." After a Special Edition expansion and the Return of the Jedi sets Endor and Death Star II, the company plans expansions based on Star Wars novels and computer games. Decipher is also considering a new trading card game based on the upcoming movie trilogy.

Star Wars will soon get a "sealed-deck tournament product" similar to Star Trek's (described above). The storage box, in one of six designs (Luke, Leia, C-3PO, Vader, Jabba, and Boba Fett), will include a fixed set of 18 new black-border cards, four Unlimited white-border boosters, and one New Hope booster. Price should be $15–20.
