Unreleased cards
Unreleased cards are Decipher Star Wars CCG cards and mechanics that were photographed, designed, or named in print but never sold as a finished English card. Whole cancelled expansions are listed on Cancelled Expansions.
Light Side Mara Jade
Mara Jade, The Emperor's Hand was printed Dark Side in Enhanced Jabba's Palace. At the same photo shoot, model Shannon Baksa was also photographed in a green suit for a Light Side Mara Jade. Star Wars Insider 47 (January 2000) printed that green costume on page 55, captioned "LIGHT SIDE: Mara Jade, Jedi Knight". It quoted Decipher creative director Dan Burns that the outfit was "meant to depict Mara's light side (which will be issued later as another Power Card in the game)." Decipher never released the card. The Players Committee shared the archive photograph at MPC 2008. It later used it for Virtual Set 17 Mara Jade, "a card some might say has been 20 years in the making." The scan shown is from the Collecting Encyclopedia 3.2, page 201. Full Chernoff feature: Mara Jade: Flesh and Blood.[1][2][3]
Fixer and other named-but-unprinted characters
Some printed cards talk about characters who never received their own Decipher card. The usual example is Fixer, Camie's boyfriend from Tosche Station in A New Hope. Decipher never printed a Fixer character card. The same gap applies to other film extras named in lore or in "search for a card named…" effects for titles that do not exist.
Lichtenstein
Lichtenstein cards for Skywalkers, Jedi Masters, and Scoundrels would have given new abilities to existing Luke, Leia, Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Emperor, Han, Lando, Boba Fett, and Jabba cards instead of printing new versions of those characters. None reached retail.[1][4]
Reflections Gold
Reflections Gold got furthest: Lucasfilm-approved art, sticker-on-white-border playtest copies, and a ~310-card list. Lucasfilm refused a free PDF release after the license ended. See that article for the list, mechanics (Credits, combos, blanks), and scans.
Other language versions that never shipped
Planned language editions beyond Japanese Takara, and the cancelled German and Spanish releases, are on Translations of SWCCG. The cancelled German release, including the magazine advertisements and the Modern Graphics two-player rulebook, is on Cancelled German release of SWCCG. The surviving Spanish Two-Player rules proof is on Spanish Premiere Two-Player Game rules booklet.[5]
Relic cards
Before the license ended, Decipher consulted Jim Colson about relic cards containing cut film cells, and it had discussed selling factory-graded cards. Neither reached retail.[6]
