Fight for the Future: Ashes of the Empire Arrives this Friday! 7/10/26
Star Wars™: Unlimited players, get ready to jump into hyperspace! The highly anticipated eighth set, Ashes of the Empire, is almost here. This massive new expansion shifts the focus of the galactic struggle to the pivotal era of the Battle of Endor and the chaotic, lawless years that followed the collapse of the Galactic Empire.
We have some incredible news for our local community: under the official Star Wars: Unlimited release structure, we are allowed to sell the product early starting on Prerelease Day!
That means you don't have to wait for the worldwide retail launch. You can grab your Booster Boxes, Carbonite packs, and Spotlight Decks right here in store starting Friday, July 10th!
What’s New in the Galaxy?
Ashes of the Empire isn't just bringing over 260 new cards to the table; it's introducing brand-new strategic layers that will shift the local meta.
-
Advantage Tokens: Strike hard and strike fast! These fleeting new tokens give your units a temporary burst of power or utility, rewarding aggressive, tactical plays.
-
Support Keyword: Have your units work together like a true squadron. This new keyword heavily rewards synergy and careful board positioning.
-
Mandalorian Tokens: Resilient, heavily armored, and ready to fight. You'll be able to summon dedicated Mandalorian token units to hold down your arenas.
Spotlight Leaders: Luke & Palpatine
The set features a pair of pre-built "Spotlight Decks" featuring two iconic forces of the galaxy, both sporting wild new strategies:
-
Emperor Palpatine (Cunning/Villainy): The Emperor is all about manipulation. He relies heavily on the new Advantage tokens, feeding on low-cost units like Ant Droid or Forest Patroller to build a massive, terrifying board presence before executing them for resource acceleration.
-
Luke Skywalker (Heroism): Focused on resilience, healing your units, and fighting against all odds. He pairs beautifully with heavy hitters like his father, Anakin Skywalker, who features a devastating Hidden and Saboteur combo while throwing out Shields to protect your team.
