Star Wars: Unlimited is a trading card game published by Fantasy Flight Games. Its first set, Spark of Rebellion, was released on March 8, 2024. It includes a wide variety of unique art on the cards instead of using film stills.[1] Like many other TCGs, it borrows design elements from Magic: The Gathering,[2] and also shares design elements with Disney Lorcana.[3] Similar to Magic, there are different formats within Unlimited, and some cards can get suspended to create game balance. In November 2024, the Boba Fett leader was suspended for representing more than half of the winners at competitive events.[4][5]
