Grappling Hook is a Light Effect (Immediate Effect) from A New Hope.

Card Text

Use 1 Force to deploy on table just after opponent has played any Interrupt. That Interrupt is still played out but is then 'grappled' (placed here but is out of play). Any new Interrupts of the same name are now unique (•). (Immune to Control.)

Lore

Stormtrooper utility belts contain basic tools such as a grappling hook to grab onto protrusions. The hook can also be used to ensnare escaping targets.

Rulings

• Once this grabs an Interrupt, it immediately prevents any further copies of the same name from being played that turn.
