If you’ve been circling the launch bay and waiting for the perfect time to enter the Star Wars: Unlimited trading card game scene, the Force has delivered. The new Twilight of the Republic two-player starter decks are now available—and better yet, they’re currently 21% off on Amazon for just $27.54.
That’s right: for less than the cost of a drink at Oga’s Cantina (okay, two drinks), you and a friend can dive straight into the third expansion of Fantasy Flight’s fast-paced TCG, no booster packs or midichlorians required.
What’s Inside the Box?
This isn’t just a deck or two slapped together and labeled “starter.” You’re getting a well-balanced introduction to the Star Wars: Unlimited system—packed with exclusive cards and nods to The Clone Wars era. The Twilight of the Republic starter set includes:
2 ready-to-play 50-card decks (one led by Ahsoka Tano, the other by General Grievous)
10 exclusive cards not available in booster packs
40 counters
2 playmats
2 folded deck boxes
Quick start rules so you can jump in without needing a Jedi Master to explain
Each deck has a unique strategy and flavor, pulled straight from the Clone Wars playbook.
Ahsoka Tano’s Aggression + Command Deck:
Built around Coordinate, a keyword that powers up your units when you control three or more.
Encourages flooding the board with clone troopers and overwhelming your opponent.
Think Zerg rush, but with lightsabers and ARC troopers.
General Grievous’s Command + Cunning Deck:
Focuses on droid synergy, using Grievous’ ability to assign Sentinel status and draw aggro.
Leverages the Exploit mechanic, letting you sacrifice weaker units to deploy stronger ones at a discount.
More tactical, less brute force—like watching Grievous juggle lightsabers and rage.
The result? Two distinctly different playstyles, both dripping in Star Wars personality.
A Clone Wars Love Letter in Cardboard
This expansion, Twilight of the Republic, celebrates the best parts of Star Wars: The Clone Wars—from vehicles like Anakin’s Interceptor and Droid Starfighters to characters like Captain Rex, Clone Commander Cody, and the Bad Batch.
If you’re a sucker for prequel-era storytelling (or just miss watching Obi-Wan sass battle droids), this set is basically a tribute album to your favorite galactic skirmishes.
