Scene Two Rules and Setup
- All unique Jedi gain Force Renewal 1, Lightsaber Deflect (Force 1: When hit by a non-melee attack, this
character takes no damage save 11), and Lightsaber Reflect (Force2: When hit by an non-melee attack, this
character takes no damage with a save of 11 and the attacker takes 10 damage, save 11).
- At the start of the fourth round the droid army also arrives. If a squad contains destroyer droids, the destroy
droids must activate first
- All musst setup in the respective starting locations.
- Only players with characters on the map/grid can roll for initiative.
- At the start of the 5th round and every round following the Separatist will gain 3 groups that contain 2 Super
Battle Droids and 5 Battle Droids. Separatist players will roll a D20 to see which players receive these extra
characters. In the 5th round Separatist squads 1 and 2 automatically get the extra characters with the third group
being rolled for among Separatist players 3,4, and 5. On the 6th round all Separatist players roll. Extra characters must start at the player original starting position. Separatist player 2 can choose either of the three doors
leading into the arena.
- Once characters move from the “balconies” or the “ViewingArea” to the “Arena” they cannot move back up to
the balconies. Moving from the balcony to the arena floor cost double movement. Characters with Flight ignore these rules. Balconies and the viewing area grant character on them cover from the characters on the arena
floor, but not vice versa. The starting areas for jedi squad 2 and 3 are considered to be on the arena floor level
and do not act as cover or have any movement restrictions.

- At the start of the 7th round, Yoda’s extraction team arrives. Jedi players can decide who they want to control
this squad however they see fit.

Once those squares are occupied, the remaining clone troopers must be set upas close to Yoda as possible..
