It cannot end its turn in a wall or solid object (a space bordered by magenta lines). It does not provide cover, and it cannot open doors nor hold them open. It cannot be attacked or damaged, and does not count as a legal target, as the nearest enemy, or as adjacent to other characters. This character cannot score victory points for occupying specified areas in scenarios that include such victory conditions. It is not affected by commander effects.
During setup, choose a Unique ally with a Force Rating. That ally gains Illusion while within 4 squares of this character. That ally may also spend this character’s Force points once per turn, in addition to their own Force points once per turn. When the chosen ally is defeated, you may choose another Unique ally with a Force rating as if it where the start of the skirmish; if there are no other Unique allies with a Force Rating in your squad, this character is defeated. Instead of making its normal attack or attacks, an enemy character within 6 squares may spend 1 Force point to defeat this character. This character can avoid this effect with a successful save 11.

Focused Attack: (Force 2) This character ignores cover when determining a legal target this turn. This ability is only usable on this character’s turn.

Sense the Future: (Force 2) Once per round, after initiative is determined, you may replace your initiative check with the opponent’s initiative check. Any modifiers to the result still apply to the owner’s own check. Replace the initiative check after rolls are revealed and chosen, but before you take the first activation.

Sith Alchemy 4: (Force 4) Instead of this character’s normal attack or attacks, defeat target living enemy with 40 or less HP. You can immediately add a character whose name contains Rakghoul to you squad. This character sets up in a square of your choice formerly occupied by the defeated enemy. This character doesn’t count toward the cost of your squad. If you are scoring points for victory, or for a tiebreaker, defeating this extra character doesn’t score points.

Surprise Attack: (Force 2) After initiative is determined, this character can immediately use this Force power to make an immediate attack before any other character activates. (This does not count as an activation) Resolve this ability in the same order as Surprise Move or Intuition.

Talisman Mind Control: (Force 5) Instead of this character’s normal attack or attacks, living enemies within 4 join your squad for the rest of the round. A successful save 11 negates this effect. Characters that join your squad through this power cannot benefit from commander effect, use abilities that replace their attacks, cannot use abilities to prevent or redirect damage, and cannot benefit from bonus’s to their stats.

Thanks very much.

(scurries off to finish up some stuff)

Cool - thanks for sharing that - it's nice to be able to read through the glossary and get familiar with them before the set drops.

I've really enjoyed the whole roll out this time around - there's enough left that it's going to be exciting when the set comes out, but it's been nice having regular spoilers. 72 new pieces at once, without spoilers, would be way too much for me to take in.

isnt there supposed to be a NR Chewbacca? thats a possibility

set list has been released, and there is only 1 chewie on the list

For versatility, if the character replacing him/her/it already has a CE does it get the other CE in addition or does it replace
