Card Text

If you occupy a battleground site and a battleground system, once during each of your control phases may reveal the bottom card of your Lost Pile and place it on top of your Force Pile. At the end of opponent's turn opponent must lose 2 Force or place their Force Pile onto their Used Pile.
Lore
Strategy
So, your deck's podracing theme has played itself out, and you're left with a copy of Boonta Eve Podrace sitting on the table. It's not doing anything. The race is over, the concessions stands have closed, the holo-broadcasting crews have gone home, and the maintenance droids are busy clearing away the barely recognizable remains of several podracers.
As is often the case with Epic Events, Boonta Eve Podrace does its thing, and then is forgotten. But the Light Side gets a second Epic Event in Tatooine: I Did It! This card builds on your success with Boonta Eve Podrace. In fact, these two cards together are almost like the two sides of an Objective. I Did It! can be deployed after you won a podrace. You can place that now-useless Boonta Eve Podrace out of play to retrieve 4 force. In addition to this one-time benefit, you have several very tasty long-term bonuses. First, while you occupy a battleground site and a battleground system, you can place the bottom card of your Lost Pile onto your Force Pile. In one action, you not only retrieve a Force, but you also increase your Force activation.
The second benefit is one that is likely to cause the Dark Side endless trouble. At the end of his turn, your opponent must choose to lose 2 Force or place his Force pile into his Used pile. This wreaks havoc in several ways. For one, the Dark Side will be hard pressed to save up Force to use during your turn, making it difficult to react, fire weapons that have a firing cost, and play certain Interrupts. In addition, the Dark Side player will find itself having to carefully manage his activation. If he has Force left over at the end of his turn, and he chooses to replace the cards in his Used Pile, he will have to work a little harder to track destinies.
I Did It! is a powerful card that will be invaluable in building on your successes in racing. It is likely that it will be a key card in making podracing a key strategy in some areas, rather than just an occasional side strategy.
Combos
- I Did It! + Draw Their Fire If your opponent wants to be able to use any Interrupt in a battle you initiate, they will have to lose 2 Force each turn (provided you meet the conditions on I Did It!). (Psychobabble)[2]
Rulings
- A Force Pile can be placed onto a Used Pile even if one or both piles are empty.[2]
- Light can only place their own copy of Boonta Eve Podrace out of play, not the opponent's copy.
