-Rulings and Clarifications-
• The 'F' symbol.
The 'F' symbol in the lower left-hand corner of the card signifies this figure is force sensitive. We added this ability so we can reference all figures with the Force and it does not have any powers attached to it. (HoSS FAQ)

• The 2nd Edition dice are recommended for when you play with Luke Skywalker

• DARING ESCAPE - Ending move unengaged, adjacent, and on spaces that neither figure started on
What happens if the figures cannot end up unengaged, or adjacent, or on spaces that neither figure started on?
1) If, before moving, there is no possible way that the conditions of Daring Escape can be met, then Daring Escape cannot be used. (This would be the case, for example, if one of the figures were captured by Cyberclaw, or if the figures were surrounded by enemies). (HoSS FAQ)

2) If, while moving, something happens to prevent the conditions of Daring Escape from being met, the figures may still continue their move and must attempt to meet as many conditions as possible. (For example, if Luke and his chosen figure escaped off a cliff and Luke was destroyed by Falling Damage, the chosen figure must still attempt to end its move unengaged, even though it could not meet the "adjacent" condition). (HoSS FAQ)

• DARING ESCAPE - Figure movement order
Do I have to move Luke first with Daring Escape?
No, you can move either figure first. (HoSS FAQ)

• DARING ESCAPE - Figure movement order
With Daring Escape, can I move Luke 1 space, and then the chosen hero 2 spaces, and then move Luke again 2 more spaces?
No, you must move one figure first and then move the second figure. Once a figure is moved once it cannot be moved again during that move of Daring Escape. (HoSS FAQ)

• I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU - Special Attacks
If Luke and an adjacent, friendly hero are both affected by a special attack such as Grenade Special Attack, do I have to roll for IHTRY twice--once for each figure?
No. You roll once for I'm Here to Rescue You immediately after attack dice are rolled.(HoSS FAQ)

• I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU - Special Attacks
If Luke and an adjacent, friendly hero are both affected by a special attack such as Grenade Special Attack, do I have to choose the attacked adjacent hero for Daring Escape, or can I choose another adjacent hero that was not affected by the attack?
You must choose the hero adjacent to Luke that was also affected by the special attack. (HoSS FAQ)

FORCE INTUITION
Luke Skywalker may re-roll any dice that show blanks when defending or attacking. Force Intuition may only be used to re-roll dice once per attack or defense.

DARING ESCAPE
Instead of moving normally, Luke Skywalker may use his Daring Escape. Choose an adjacent, friendly, small or medium Hero and move both Luke and the chosen figure up to 3 spaces each. Both Luke and the chosen figure must end their movement unengaged and adjacent to each other. In addition, both Luke and the chosen figure may not end their move on a space that either figure occupied before moving. Figures moved by Daring Escape do not take any leaving engagement attacks.

I'M HERE TO RESCUE YOU
Whenever Luke Skywalker or an adjacent, friendly, small or medium Hero is attacked by an opponent’s non-adjacent figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, if it is possible for Luke to use Daring Escape, you may roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 1–8, roll defense dice normally. If you roll 9 or higher, you must immediately move the defending figure using Daring Escape and neither Luke nor the chosen figure receive any damage.

FORCE SENSITIVE SYMBOL

[Fi Skirata]

I am surprised that no-one has seemed to notice Luke (one of the most prominent figures in A New Hope), so I'm giving this a well deserved .

[orgsbane]

Yeah. He will be quite fun with Obi-Wan Kenobi!

[caps]

Interesting that he can use his rescue power to help Kenobi out of a jam.

Seems like he'd be good for protecting your Taelord's, Raelin's, etc.

He was tested with Raelin and works well with her. He also works well with Ana.

[Hogg]

So if I'm reading these powers right, it looks like Luke really to be adjacent to a friendly figure to use two them. Right?

Yep. Use him with Obi-Wan to take turns with both of them.

I think he means to use I'm Here to Rescue You/Daring Escape.

If that is what you meant Hogg, then yes, he does have to be adjacent to a friendly Unique Hero.

Yeah, I meant that's the best thing to do with Luke. Use him with Ben so that they stay together and you save an OM.

[Hogg]

Cool, I want to make sure I'm reading it right, I'm taking the HoSS Master set to a guys beach/gaming weekend soon.

[CrazyTankster]

If Dengar attacks Luke with his Valken-38 Rifle Special Attack and Luke cannot roll defense dice, does Luke still get to roll for IHTRY?
