Card Text

Deploys only on Dagobah or Cloud City, but may move elsewhere. Adds 2 to power of any starship he pilots. Once per game, a lightsaber may deploy here (for free) directly from Reserve Deck. Shuffle, cut and replace. Immune to attrition < 4.

Lore

Luke Skywalker. Son of Anakin. Seeker of Yoda. Levitator of rocks. Ignorer of advice. Incapable of impossible. Reckless is he.

Joke

A list of grand "X of Y" titles ("Levitator of rocks") that ends in Yoda's word order: "Reckless is he." See Jokes.

Strategy

By Boone Adkins

Son Of Skywalker is a great card. For game players: He is a little bit restricted and costly in deployment, but it’s worth what you get. The power of five is high and an ability of five is good and it allows a battle destiny. Also, that ability allows a good chance for a successful destiny draw for Sense and Alter. And last, that ability of five helps with Jedi tests. Now don't be sad about having to deploy only on Dagobah or Cloud City.

That restriction can be of some use. You can deploy him on Dagobah, regardless of the location deployment restrictions, a useful thing for Jedi training. Like the typical pilot, Son Of Skywalker adds two to the power of any starship he pilots. He is immune to attrition less than four. And last, you can deploy a lightsaber to the same location as Son Of Skywalker.

Combos:

Son Of Skywalker + Any card that allows you to peek at the top of your Reserve Deck - a guaranteed good battle destiny.

Son Of Skywalker + Courage Of A Skywalker (In hand) + This Is More Like It (In hand) + Smoke Screen (In hand) - Lots of laughs for you, your opponent looses tons of force!

Son Of Skywalker + Chewbacca + Wookiee Strangle + Jedi tests + Apprentice + Lots of At Peace cards - Now Vader gets choked for a change!

Son Of Sky walker + Teamwork cards and their partners - A heck of a lot of attrition and battle damage

Escorted Son Of Skywalker + Captive Fury (Lost function) - Bye Bye Bounty Hunter!

Combos

• Son Of Skywalker + Encampment Deploy regardless of location deployment restrictions.

Rulings

• Dagobah cloud sectors are on Dagobah, so Son Of Skywalker may deploy there (but not to the Dagobah system).
• Bespin cloud sectors are not on Cloud City, so Son Of Skywalker may not deploy there or to the Bespin system.
• In brief: Son Of Skywalker may deploy to Dagobah sites, Dagobah clouds, and Cloud City sites.
