The board is different, too, Josh, or at least I believe it is. The 20$ extra is for a better board, the 2 ships, and the Death Star. I'm in it for that Death Star. Really, I guess you could get a Micro Machines copy of each (I had two of three when I was a kid, probably on eBay).

Side question/thought...what does this release do to the grail status and value of Queen's Gambit? Does anyone think it will cause it to come down in value?

-No 3D Palace
-3 fronts instead of 4
-No Jedi/Sith entering another battle and just wrecking shit
Those are three huge things, even if the game feels somewhat similar. My favorite part is taking Obi-Wan or Darth Maul into the palace and just destroying people. One of the few games where a Jedi feels like a Jedi.

That's likely to be my most missed aspect from QG. I do think that they did the right thing by not pretending that a spatial element was important in the Vader/Luke fight. Until one side took out the other, Jedi movement was pretty pointless in QG. They do have this bit where Luke can either take Vader out, getting you only 3 bonus cards as opposed to the 4 the Imp player gets for killing Luke, or you can try to redeem Vader for 5 bonus cards. The opportunity to redeem Vader is pretty rare and I can see where that might make for some tense moments. Do you just kill Vader is you get the chance, or do you wait it out hoping you get the Redemption card, opening Luke up to be killed while you wait?
The Death Star is a beast, btw. Look out for that thing.
I actually think the card play might be tighter in this than QG, actually. The Anakin cards made for obvious choices. Not using one to move Anakin was a wasted opportunity. Here, not so much. Yeah, it's got one fewer battle going on, but each side cannot afford to completely ignore any one of them.

I'll probably just get the $30 edition and see what happens with the black one.
