Fantasy Flight Games preview the characters of Solo: A Star Wars Story in Destiny….
Across the Galaxy features 160 cards from every era of the Star Wars saga. Look for plots with negative point values, cards that look to spot some of the most iconic Star Wars characters, and modifications for famous vehicles to take you across the galaxy.
One of the most famous vehicles found in Across the Galaxy is the Millennium Falcon (Across the Galaxy, 103), the fastest ship in the galaxy. While previous versions in Star Wars: Destiny portray the YT-1300 Freighter as an aging hunk of junk, it joins Across the Galaxy in its prime. While a six-cost support is a massive investment, the Falcon allows you to search your deck and discard pile for an Escape Craft (Across the Galaxy, 102) and attach it as a mod upgrade, essentially giving you two dice with a significant discount on the Escape Craft. With no blank sides and its lowest value showing a two, the Falcon will quickly return your investment in the form of resources and damage, and the Escape Craft can make the Falcon even more reliable with its focus symbols.
Sleek and stylish, the Falcon reflects the aura of its owner, Lando Calrissian (Across the Galaxy, 89). In fact, the two are a natural fit—Lando’s Power Action lets you play a Yellow vehicle from your hand at a discounted cost with ambush, and immediately roll it out if it is the Millennium Falcon.
This of course works with the Awakenings (Awakenings, 49) and Legacies (Legacies, 52) Falcons, but the version found inAcross the Galaxy comes with the greatest advantage, letting you attach the Escape Craft before you roll out the support. Though it’s an expensive venture, playing the Falcon allows you to roll out multiple dice and still have an action left to resolve them.
In the same way Chewbacca has been loyal to Han Solo, L3-37 (Across the Galaxy, 91) faithfully co-pilots the Falcon with Lando. As a droid, L3-37 has one of the most unique abilities in the game, able to attach herself as a mod to a vehicle after she is defeated. If that vehicle is the Millennium Falcon, you can also ready it! Characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi (Spirit of Rebellion, 37) have previously given you a benefit upon defeat, but L3-37 will stay relevant throughout the entire game, so long as you have a vehicleto attach her to.
