This Starter set gives you the 2 main charactors of star was with an extra player that will star you on the large univers of Star Wars. The maps and rule test the memory and the battles keep you sharp on your math skills. Once you've had you fun with this set you can add to it with booster packs, making this game an on going adventure.

Star Wars "Rebel Storm" is the very first set for the Star Wars miniatures game. There are 60 different pre-painted figures in the set, and each Starter Set gets you off to a good start with eight random figures, plus two EXCLUSIVE rare figures (Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader). Starter set also includes the instruction booklet, a battle map, 8 terrain tiles, damage counters, a D20, and full color stats cards for all figures (basically everything two people need to play, but if you'll like the game, you'll probably want to get a few boosters, too). The best thing about this set is that it the figures are based almost exclusively off of the original trilogy. Thus, you will have seen all but a couple of them in this set in those movies.

The game itself very fun (definitely one of my favorites). It is similar to the D&D minis game in many ways, so if you like that game, you are sure to also like this game as well. But there are also enough differences to the two games to keep it interesting. Further, there are enough different figures in this set (each with its own stats, special abilities, commander effects, and/or force points) that you will never have to play the same game twice. Several expansion sets have also been released to add even more variety to the game. Finally, the minis can also be used with the Star Wars RPG (though Unlike the D&D minis game, the stats cards for the Star Wars minis game do not include info for the RPG version of the game -- but many of these stats are available elsewhere).

In sum, I love this game, and if you love Star Wars and/or gaming, I think it's definitely worth a try. Hope this helps!
