"We think that Hem Dazon should be able to kill the Space Slug."
Hem Dazon is an alien from a race that is addicted to salt. The Space Slug is
the current name for that giant slug-thing in the asteroid belt into which the
Millenium Falcon flew. When you sprinkle salt on a slug... oh, nevermind.

"Mynocks suck."
... Power, that is.

"Arconas Rule!"
"Woogie" The latest technical buzzword. Definition: Woogie (adj) - 1) A Star Wars
CCG card with a weird effect. 2) A card that has a gameplay function that makes
dubious literal sense, but which justifies its bizarre effect through an uncanny
relationship with a quote from the movie, particiularly Yoda quotes. 3) Any card
conceived after 1:00 am. Note: "Let the woogie win" puns are now punishable by
not less than five years in the spice mines.

"I want to send Yoda on an Attack Run!"
Just a random comment from the crowd. Don't take it seriously! Jerry Darcy did,
however, get him to cause some havoc aboard a Y-Wing.

"Do you believe how bad that last Voyager episode was?"
New card idea: add one to destiny for each point Voyager drops in the ratings.

"That's the Fourth Star Destroyer I've Lost in there!"
One player had particularly bad luck in the Asteroid Belt. But you know, you'd
be crazy to go in there.

"Vader swung a Lightsaber at Yoda, but hit Luke instead!"
Mark Tuttle's Vader not only killed my Luke, but earlier Vader had also killed
Obi-Wan with The Circle is Now Complete.

"It's hard to believe, but I like this set even better than Hoth!"
Shameless double-plug yes, but I swear to God I heard that.

Yodaspeak Speak like Yoda many times we did ... hmhm... yes!
Warning: Speaking like Yoda hazardous to sanity can it be.

"My Snake just bit the Emperor's behind."
No, The Emperor will not be in the Dagobah set. However, since we are designing
Yoda, a cool card that will be in Dagobah, we needed to also plan ahead to test
our current ideas for The Emperor, who to a large extent is Yoda's dark side counterpart.
We want them to be interestingly balanced. So we were using a mockup of The Emperor
in this playtest. The Snake, by the way, died a horrible grisly death at the hands
of The Emperor on the very next turn following his politically unwise indiscretion
in the Dagobah swamp. But, it was worth it!
