Question regarding Palpatine/Superlaser

Hi all,

 

Just one question, because I think we´re doing something wrong. 

Palpatine has the ability to recover an event card from the discard pile as soon as an LS objective is destroyed. If you use Superlaser, paying 4 resources, you destroy one objective…then I assume you put the event card into the discard pile and resolve Palpatine ability, which returns Superlaser to your hands. You´ll only have to keep doing this each turn…Is this possible? I´m thinking and thinking, but I can´t find any flaw in the timeline:

Event - Destroy objective/Discard event - Trigger response ability from Palpatine - Return Event to your hand

 

Is this right? Because if it is, I think it´s completely unbalanced…

Palpatine can only return Sith event cards when objectives are destroyed and Superlaser Blast is an Imperial Navy card.

Remember the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is." ? It applies here. Factions are only going to get more important as the new sets roll out for SWLCG, so be aware of the false synergies due to faction and/or other restrictions.

Yeah, it's sometimes still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Vader isn't in the Imperial faction.

I would imagine they will make an Imperial Vader.

LOL. At the end the answer was easiest than I though. You´re right, my fault. Thanks!

besides if the timing is nearly similar as in agot, the event is not in your discard by the time when you trigger the response (¿interrupt?)…..the moribund thingy and all that.

If Palpatine's ability was an interrupt, I would definitely agree with you.  With it being a reaction, I'm a little less sure on exactly how the timing would work.  Luckily, it doesn't matter in this case.

Wow, that never even occurred to me as a possibility.  I'm guessing if that happens, we'll also see a Rebel Han, and neutral and Rebel Landos.

nothing in the rules indicates that the timing structure for swlcg includes a moribund state.  Interrupts resolve before the interrupted action takes effect, and reactions resolve after.  I see no reason to read a moribund state into these rules.

I also foresee a Rebel Luke. While he had a lightsaber and some quick training from Obi Wan, I wouldn't have classified him as a "Jedi" until later on in the series -- well after he was fighting for the Alliance.

I wonder if the LS and DS Landos will have identical gameplay and artwork…

 

"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us."   Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol
