You will definitely want to buy this starter game if you want to get into playing Star Wars minatures. It comes with "quick start" rules, which you can start playing after reading them. The advanced rule book is also included but I am still trying to master the quick start version, so I can't tell you anything about that. It comes with Obi-wan and General Grevious, which are only found in this starter set. We have played it several times now and are finally getting the hang of it, but you will want to get booster packs so that you can start building a better battle team because it is starting to get boring with only the figures that are included. You don't have to just get the Revenge of the Sith figures either...we got booster packs fromt he Rebellion era (Luke, Han, etc.) and added them with the light and dark side figures that are included in this starter set.

If you like 2 player games of strategy, you will like this game. But think about getting booster packs to go along with it also, otherwise, you will find that it gets boring with just the figures included in the box. However, to get the basics down, just start with this starter set first, and then start thinking about building on.

Good place to start if you're just getting into using the miniatures. What could be better than pre-painted plastic miniatures for your Star Wars roleplaying neeeds? I highly recommend these to anyone playing the game or just into collecting Star Wars stuff. The detailing is better than anything I could achieve if I painted them. Open a box and get ready to play!

This is one of the best starter sets that have come out for Star Wars miniatures. The two things that put this set above the rest is the rulebook and the game board. The rulebook is bigger and has more information than others. The game board built from a thick card board backing and is very detailed. It is by far the highest quality board I have seen for this game. The figures are average for the game and well balanced for a starter set. If you are starting out and looking at all the starter sets, get this one first. You won't be disappointed. If you are already playing, this set is worth it for the board.

My nephew (10)was very excited to receive this SW product for his birthday (accompanied by the Bounty Hunters miniatures set, which contained a giant crab droid--pretty neat!). He prefers Star Wars Episodes I - III (ah, the misguided passions of youth!), so this was a big hit, plus his friends have it, so they can all play together.

This Star Wars game is a lot of fun for my kids. They also sell booster packs for the game to get bigger guys. I also love that they come built and painted, unlike some other companies. Lots of imagination use too!

My sons and I love playing the Star Wars miniature game. This addition to the pantheon is good, especially in that it is based on one particular encounter (that of Kenobi vs. Grievous). This is also why it gets one less star, though, just because the other starter sets have all come with 10 figures and this one only has six.

I recommend these games for parents because the game actually requires some strategy and planning (and they're fun!).
