In past sets, the first two revealed leaders came from the two-player starter deck. However, starting with Jump to Lightspeed and for each set onwards , the two-player starter deck will no longer be part of the product line. Instead, this set introduces a new type of product: Spotlight Decks!

Spotlight Decks are pre-built decks that contain a mix of cards from multiple sets, with cards from the new set making up the majority of the deck. Each Spotlight Deck contains five special rarities that are unique to that product, one of which is a leader card. Two Spotlight Decks come with each set, meaning there are ten special rarities in total, the exact same number as in previous two-player Starter Sets.

The first of the Jump to Lightspeed Spotlight decks is none other than Boba Fett (Jump to Lightspeed, 9). This fierce bounty hunter specializes in indirect damage, a new mechanic introduced in this set. When his leader ability triggers, you can exhaust Boba to deal 1 indirect damage to your opponent, meaning they must choose one of their units or their base and deal 1 damage to it that cannot be prevented.

Boba Fett (and another Spotlight Deck leader, which we’ll get to in a moment) is also our first instance of a leader with two different deployment options: the first allows him to be deployed as a leader unit as usual, while the second allows him to be deployed as a “pilot upgrade.” This turns Boba into a robust upgrade that you attach to one of your Vehicle units, turning that unit into your leader unit and seriously boosting its stats. He also has an ability that triggers when deployed as an upgrade, allowing him to deal a decent amount of damage to opposing units.

Leaders aren't the only cards in this set that can be turned into pilot upgrades. Many unit cards, like Bossk (Jump to Lightspeed, 187), can instead be played as upgrades thanks to the new Piloting keyword. Similar to the Smuggle keyword from Shadows of the Galaxy, piloting has its own alternate cost that you pay to play the card instead of the usual cost. This means you can choose to play Bossk as a 4-cost unit, or pay 2 resources to play him as a pilot upgrade on a vehicle unit.

As for Bosko's ability, the ability to ping enemy units for small damage chunks synergizes well with Boba Fett's leader ability. Any time you can reduce the health of an enemy unit, your opponent's decision on where to deal indirect damage will be even more difficult, doubly so when a card like No Disintegrations (Jump to Lightspeed, 144) can reduce a unit to just 1 HP remaining. . Combine all this with strong indirect damage-focused ships like Hunting Aggressor (Jump to Lightspeed, 165), Zygerrian Starhopper (Jump to Lightspeed, 183), and the iconic Fett's Firespray (Jump to Lightspeed, 240), and your opponent will have to make these tough decisions throughout the game!
