Talk:Playtest cards

Style pass (2026-10-15)

Lead: "English retail cards are 63×88 mm" cut as a repeat; the size stays under Card backs and size.
Sources list removed. Drive, Reddit and forum items were already refs; their archive links moved into those refs. Not tied to any sentence, so moved here:

Per Bill (personal communication, 21 October 2026), •Skywalker Ranch is not a joke and not a playtest card: it is a special promotional card made to show Lucasfilm. Removed "Joke and unpublished concepts..." line and the inventory row ("Joke two-sided location"); the card now has its own short section with the scan, linked from the lead. Skywalker Ranch redirects to that section.
Sources: Bill (personal communication) for what the card is; SWCCG Collecting Encyclopedia 3.2 p. 3 (card image, game text, 2000 copyright line; capture checked by sha256 from the VPS).

"Joke" framing (unsourced). "Light/Dark site" side label dropped; the section says the same text is on both halves.

No published source gives when or where Decipher showed the card to Lucasfilm, or how many were made.

Source: Star Wars CCG Slack, #swccgdiscussion, Christian McCarty (ketura), 3 November 2026, thread with 8 replies. Slack needs an account, so the thread was saved as a swccg.com snapshot and captured by the Internet Archive (4 November 2026).
In the replies Hayes Hunter posted three Magic: The Gathering cards, Hurloon Minotaur (Fourth Edition), Dwarven Warriors and Jump (Revised), as the cards under the pieces; ketura added Jump (Fourth Edition). The faint art in the Lightsaber, Negate Interrupt and High Conference art boxes matches Jump. Which Magic card sits under each other piece is not stated.
The Stormtrooper and earlier Darth Vader rows already in the inventory (Drive scans) have the same designs as the Stormtrooper and Darth Vader in this photo.

Brian Kallenbach's own post of the batch was not found: not on his public Facebook timeline, Chuck Kallenbach's profile, or the Star Wars CCG Facebook group (searched 4 November 2026). The original photo may have been shared with ketura directly.
No date for the batch; the layout matches the other earliest-layout pieces (Battle and Force Energy).
