Alliance Dispatch Ep 5.2 – Legends of the Force, Pre-Release Chaos & Rotation Rumblings

Yes, Episode 5.1 got eaten by the audio gremlins. Again. So here we are with 5.2 — the real one. The Legends of the Force set has dropped, pre-release madness is (mostly) behind us, and it's time to crack into what we think about the cards, leaders, formats, and general state of SWU.

After a long weekend of relentless pre release Danny and Steve are the only two people still standing, and have a natter about their weekend and thoughts on the set.

In this episode:

🧪 Pre-release breakdowns (some of us played... three times)

📦 Set 5 impressions – too many whales, not enough Vader?

🛠️ Leader tier talk: Who’s rising, who’s mid, and who needs to go back in the binder

🔮 Rotation theories, force synergy thoughts & “cards that Jimmy the jams”

📉 And the slow-motion collapse of Kit Fisto’s as a usable leader?

We’ve got Yoda turning into a railgun, Darth Malak staying in the trade binder, and a MASSIVE whale ruining everyone’s lethal. The Force might be strong with this set — but is it fun?

🎧 Listen on the bus to work. Or while sleeving up your third underwhelming Talzin deck.
