Talk:Vader (Premiere Two-Player Introductory Game) (Japanese Premiere Two-Player)

Japanese original printing source audit

Original Japanese source: encyclopedia p. 44, embedded JPEG xref 2069. Image SHA256 f0f09eb707e2374f31d5c6e5272dce1c22e93f4fceca45dccd3579af1985dcc6. The original image is File:Japanese-Premiere-Two-Player-Vader-Encyclopedia32-original.jpg. Printed wraps joined; ASCII digits, Latin letters, +, =, < and > normalized. Unique asterisk tracked separately; Tarkin lore underline retained. Original JPEG remains typography authority. Both originals prohibit deployment when two or more opposing unique characters are in play and call for a destiny draw after a losing battle, with a result greater than 4 causing an Imperial casualty. The original English says "one Imperial present"; the Japanese says 帝国軍の人員を一人 without a corresponding location restriction. The Japanese choice sentence says that the player may choose whom to lose. Printed absence is separate from rule-derived defaults and unknown data. No artist/translator credit is visible. Performer likeness attribution and Japanese GEMP implementation remain unresolved. The November 1998 tournament-language rule is dated context, not evidence of earlier or custom-format mechanics. No new rules or implementation equivalence is claimed.
