Capturing characters and captives - Dark Side players can use special cards like Zuckuss? Snare Rifle, All Wrapped Up, We Have A Prisoner and IG - 88 With Riot Gun to capture Light Side characters. Only the Dark Side may capture; if the Light Side somehow controls a card which allows capturing, the
Light Side may not use the capturing portion of that card. There are even some objective cards though that allow the Dark Side player to sta rt the game with a captive (for example, Carbon Chamber Testing or the Light Side objectives Rescue The Princess and You Can Either Profit By This...). The Dark Side may capture only Light Side cards. (However, both players can steal the opponent?s cards, which is different from capturing.)
    Whenever a rule or card says that a character is captured, the Dark Side player must immediately choose one of these three options:
        Seizure ? Your bounty hunters and/or warriors at the same location may seize (take into custody) one of the captured characters each;
            that character is now a captive and is placed face up beneath the bounty hunter or warrior who is now it's escort. See captives ? escorting.
        Imprisonment ? If the capture takes place at any prison, you may imprison any number of the captured characters there; those
            characters become a imprisoned captives and are placed face up beneath that prison. See captives ? imprisoned.
        Escape ? Any characters not seized or imprisoned will escape to the Light Side player?s Used Pile.
    A captured character is on table only for rules, actions, or conditions that specifically refer to captured cards. Additionally, a unique (?) or restricted (??, ???) captured character still counts towards the restrictions specified by the uniqueness and persona rules.
    Any captive may be affected by text that specifies "all cards" or "all characters" because these cards do not "choose" the captive as a target. For example, a captive may be lost to TIE Bombing, a Thermal Detonator, a Concussion Grenade, or an interrupt such as Debris Zone. See all cards. It should be noted that an imprisoned character is treated a little differently. See captives - imprisoned.
    For all other purposes, a captured card is not considered to be on table .
    Any non-character cards deployed on or carried by a character who is captured will continue to count towards the restrictions specified by the uniqueness and persona rules, but are otherwise not considered to be on table. They are unusable and cannot be the subject of any other rule, action or condition. The exception to this is any cards that specifically operate while on a captive (for example, Bounty) which will continue to work normally. These cards will revert to their normal functions if that character is later released.
    Any character card being carried by a character that is captured (for example, Yoda is in Luke's Backpack when Luke is captured by IG - 88's Riot Gun) is considered to be captured also, but is no longer considered to be "carried." Both captives would need to be assigned to different escorts and both would need to be rescued individually.
    Utinni Effects that targeted a captive before that character became captured continue to target that character normally. An uncompleted Jedi Test will "remember" a captured apprentice (or mentor) such that if released, the apprentice (or mentor) may resume Jedi Training from where he or she left off. See captives ? frozen.

Crossing Over  - Crossing over occurs when a character conceptually 'gives in' to the opposite side of the Force. When you use Epic Duel to cause a character to cross over, that character moves to your side of the table and is used as your own (changing from Rebel to Imperial, or vice versa, if applicable).
    A character who crosses to your side conceptually takes on a new identity, just as Anakin Skywalker gave in to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader. Your opponent may not deploy any more copies of that persona for the rest of the game. Also, any cards which affect that character by name do not apply (lose any such cards deployed on or targeting the character at the moment of crossing over).
    For example, if Luke loses an Epic Duel and crosses over to the Dark Side, cards such as Don't Get Cocky and Run Luke, Run! no longer work because the name 'Luke Skywalker' no longer has any meaning for him, and I Have You Now no longer works because he's neither Luke nor a Rebel any more. Also -- like his father before him -- he will abandon Anakin's Lightsaber because it works only on a Skywalker. On the other hand, he could still use Luke's Blaster Pistol because it works on any warrior, although he would not get any benefit from the Luke-specific portion of the blaster pistol's game text.
    When a character crosses over to the Dark Side, the benefits of any Jedi Tests that character has completed apply to the Dark Side player.
    If Luke With Lightsaber is crossed to the Dark Side he is still capable of using his permanent weapon (as it is simply character game text).
    Lando and the Tonnika Sisters do not 'cross over,' they convert (see converting characters).

Lando and Lobot  - These personas have both a Light Side and Dark Side version. Accordingly, some cards may target 'your Lando/Lobot,' while others target 'opponent's Lando/Lobot' and still others may target 'any Lando/Lobot.' Because Lando and Lobot are unique, only one player may have either of them on table at a time.
    As the Dark Side player, you can exploit Dark Side Lando and Lobot in many powerful ways. However, they have a weakness. '[They've] got no love for the Empire' and thus are vulnerable to being replaced by Light Side Lando or Lobot during your opponent's deploy phase. The Cloud City deployment restriction does not apply (Lobot must still deply as a 'react'), but otherwise their conversion must follow the normal the rules for persona replacement (any cards deployed on or targeting Lando/Lobot transfer to the Light Side version, if applicable, and Dark Side Lando/Lobot goes to the Lost Pile).
    When any Lando/Lobot is placed out of play, the persona rules prevent any other Lando/Lobot from coming into play for the remainder of the game.

Permanent Weapon - This icon represents a character weapon that may not be separated from the character (lost, stolen, transferred, retrieved etc.) except by cards that deploy on the character as a marker (e.g., Disarmed). If such a marker card is removed, the weapon is restored.
    Game text that relocates weapons (e.g., to or from a pile) may not be used to relocate this character card, unless that game text also relocates characters.
    If the game text of a character with a permanent weapon is cancelled or suspended, that character is still considered to be in possession of the weapon that is specified within the character's game text.
    'Scanning' or copying the game text of a character with a permanent weapon does not enable the scanning character to use that weapon, and the scanning character is not considered to be possessing that weapon.
    A permanent weapon is considered to be a matching weapon only if the character's name (or persona name) is contained in the title of that weapon.

Sabacc Rules  - In the Star Wars universe, sabacc is a high-stakes card game commonly played by gamblers, cutthroats and other rough characters. Many different variants exist throughout the galaxy. The Star Wars Customizable Card Game allows you and your opponent to play sabacc as a 'side game' by using special sabacc Interrupt cards. The following rules apply to all sabacc variants.
    The object of the game is to draw two to six sabacc cards which have a total value as close to 11 as possible (without going over). To initiate sabacc, you must target one of your characters that meets the requirements on the sabacc Interrupt (it is not necessary for an opposing character to be present; conceptually, your character can play against an unseen adversary). Your opponent may also target one of his characters if he has one who meets the requirements. For example, in Cloud City Sabacc, targeting a gambler can be helpful to either player.
    Both players temporarily set aside their regular hands while playing sabacc.

Playing sabacc -- Each player draws the top two cards from his Reserve Deck (sabacc cannot be initiated unless this is possible). Players may then choose to draw additional cards. Beginning with your opponent, each player in turn may either draw a card or 'pass.' (A player must pass if he has no cards remaining in his Reserve Deck or if he already has six cards in his sabacc hand.) After a player passes, that player may not draw any more sabacc cards.
    Each card's value is equal to its destiny number, except for wild cards and clone cards (which are defined on the sabacc Interrupt):
       Each wild card must be assigned a value within the range shown on the sabacc Interrupt. (You may choose a different value for each of
           your wild cards.)
       Each clone card must 'clone' (duplicate) the value of any other card in that hand (even a value assigned to a wild card). A hand
           containing nothing but clone cards has a total value of zero.
    Players choose the values of their wild cards and clone cards (if any), then reveal their entire sabacc hands to determine the winner.
       The player who is closest to 11 (without going over) wins.
        If both players go over, the player who is closest to 11 wins.
        In the case of a tie, the player with the fewest sabacc cards wins. (If players also tie for number of sabacc cards, the game is a draw -- there
            is no winner or loser.)
    The loser must give up one sabacc card as follows:
        If any cards in the loser's sabacc hand are listed among the stakes, the winner chooses one such card and places it in his Used Pile as if
            stolen (see stealing).
        Otherwise, the winner chooses any card there to be lost.
All remaining sabacc cards are then placed in their owners' Used Piles and regular gameplay resumes.

Perfect sabacc -- If a player's first two sabacc cards total exactly 11 (with no wild cards or clone cards), that player announces 'sabacc!' and immediately wins double: the loser must give up each of his two sabacc cards (stakes to the winner's Used Pile; others to the loser's Lost Pile). If both players have a perfect sabacc, the game is a draw.
    Each hand of sabacc is a single action initiated by the play of the appropriate Interrupt card. Sabacc may not be initiated during battle.
    Sabacc draws are not destiny draws, and thus do not trigger the game text of cards such as R2-D2 or Tauntaun Bones.
    Apply all standard modifications to the destiny numbers of cards drawn during sabacc. For example, conditions at Kiffex could cause the Tonnika Sisters card to have a sabacc value of four.
    Your sabacc hand is considered part of your Life Force. As such, cards from your sabacc hand may be lost to satisfy required Force losses that might occur during sabacc (such as from an 'insert' card).
    When the Light Side player wins an Imperial starship as a stake in sabacc, that starship becomes a Rebel starship (and vice versa).
    If you use Lando's game text to modify your total, you cannot have a perfect sabacc.
