With the re-release of the Star Wars Trilogy and the upcoming "prequel" trilogy, I was thinking. What if the Jedi were Immortals? What would there powers be? Find out for yourself in the Star Wars Expansion Set for Highlander: The Card Game. This set is compatible with Highlander and the SwordMaster system. The Personas consist of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Emporer Palpatine; the Jedi, light and dark, of the films. Other characters will appear as Events, Situations, and possibly Objects (Droids?). There are no basic cards (it's just an expansion :).

*Note: This set is in no way official, nor is it authorized by Thunder Castle Games, LucasArts, Twentieth Century Fox, Decipher, Ben Vereen, or the Tooth Farie.  It's just for fun :).

 

Darth Vader				Persona

The Dark Lord of the Sith was born a long, long time ago in a 
galaxy far, far away.  Vader was trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi in 
the ways of the Force, but he was soon swayed to the Dark Side 
by the Emporer Palpatine.  He now rules over the Emporer's fleet 
with an iron fist, searching for his son, Luke Skywalker, in 
the hopes that he will join forces with him to take the Emporer's 
place as Ruler of the Empire!

You are powerful in the Dark Side of the Force!  You may block 
Power Blows without an Exertion, and you may make one upper attack 
each turn a Head Shot.  You may have up to six Master Cards.
