Spark of Rebellion Set Guide

Overview

Spark of Rebellion is the first Star Wars: Unlimited set. Its 252 cards are 148 units, 60 events, 18 leaders, 14 upgrades and 12 bases, and its story is the original trilogy's war: Imperial is on 55 cards and Rebel on 53, more than any other trait.

Everything here was new, so the set is where the game's basic keywords come from. Sentinel is on 22 cards, Ambush on 16, Raid on 14, Saboteur on 11, Restore and Shielded on 10 each, Overwhelm on 8 and Grit on 6. Of its 148 units, 110 fight in the ground arena and 38 in space.

Each aspect has a Legendary event named after it: Vigilance, Command, Aggression and Cunning. Each costs 4, needs two icons of its aspect, and lets you choose two of four effects.

Spark of Rebellion rotated out of Premier when A Lawless Time released in March 2026. Its cards are still legal in Eternal, and a card reprinted in a current set is legal in Premier in every printing.

Cards and versions

Spark of Rebellion has 252 cards. Each shows its set code, SOR, and its number along the bottom, and the set's other versions are numbered past the printed total.

The printed total is 252. The Experience and Shield tokens are numbered apart, T01 and T02, with Hyperspace versions T03 and T04.

Every version of a card

Each version has its own collector number, which is how TurnZero HQ, the scanner and set completion tell them apart. A foil does not: in 2024 sets a foil shares the number of the card it is a foil of, so a card's page shows its Normal and Foil prices side by side. There are no Prestige cards or Carbonite packs in 2024 sets; both began with Jump to Lightspeed in 2025. The catalog lists 514 printings of Spark of Rebellion in all. Telling the versions apart →

Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set from 1 to its printed total and keeps the Hyperspace, Showcase and Prestige versions apart as extras, so finishing the set and chasing its versions read as two separate goals. How set completion works →

Leaders

All 18 leaders pair a main aspect with Heroism or Villainy. Each flips to its unit side with an Epic Action once you control enough resources, from 4 for Sabine Wren to 8 for Emperor Palpatine. Four to know:

Boba Fett, Collecting the Bounty

Spark of Rebellion #015

Readies a resource when an enemy unit leaves play. The set's chase card as a Showcase.

Leia Organa, Alliance General

Spark of Rebellion #009

Attacks with a Rebel unit, then may attack with another. Deployed, she has Raid 1.

Emperor Palpatine, Galactic Ruler

Spark of Rebellion #006

Defeats a friendly unit to deal 1 damage and draw a card. When deployed, takes control of a damaged enemy unit.

Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith

Spark of Rebellion #010

A Special leader: after you play a Villainy card, deals 1 damage to a unit and 1 to a base.

All 18 leaders

Bases

Twelve bases, three in each aspect. The eight commons have 30 HP and no ability. The four rares have 25 HP and an Epic Action: Security Complex gives a unit a Shield token, Energy Conversion Lab plays a unit that costs 6 or less with Ambush, Tarkintown deals 3 damage to a damaged unit, and Jedha City gives a unit -4/-0 for the phase.

Shield and Experience tokens

Both tokens are upgrades. A Shield token prevents the next damage that would be dealt to its unit, then is defeated. An Experience token gives its unit +1/+1. Shields come up on 18 of the set's cards and Experience on 15.

Shielded is the keyword that hands out the first kind: a unit with it gets a Shield token when it is played. Saboteur is the answer, since a unit with Saboteur defeats the defender's Shields when it attacks.

Count Dooku, Darth Tyrannus

Spark of Rebellion #038

Shielded. When played, may defeat a unit with 4 or less remaining HP.

Grand Moff Tarkin, Oversector Governor

Spark of Rebellion #007

A leader that gives Experience tokens to Imperial units.

The chase card: Boba Fett

Boba Fett, Collecting the Bounty

Spark of Rebellion #265

Version Showcase

Card number SOR 265

Market price, October 22, 2026 $295.70

Artist Axel Hutt

The Showcase Boba Fett, Collecting the Bounty was the most valuable card in Spark of Rebellion on October 22, 2026, at $295.70. Leia Organa was second at $209.85 and Emperor Palpatine third at $205.92.

Boba Fett's leader is a Common. Showcase prices follow which characters people want, not the leader's rarity, and the set's 16 Showcase leaders ranged from Jyn Erso at $40.61 to Boba Fett at the top.

The same leader was $0.12 as a Normal card and $0.17 in Hyperspace.

Chase cards and prices

Spark of Rebellion's nine most valuable cards are all Showcase leaders. The most valuable card that isn't one is the Hyperspace Foil Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight.

These are each card's TCGplayer market price on October 22, 2026. Prices for a new set can move a long way in its first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for Normal and Foil and its price chart. How card prices work →

Playing it

Spark of Rebellion is out of Premier, so for most players today it is an Eternal set. A card from it that was reprinted in a current set can still go into a Premier deck in its Spark of Rebellion printing.

If you are learning from it, the set teaches the core of the game cleanly: units in two arenas, Sentinel to protect your base, Saboteur to get past it, and Shields and Experience to keep a unit alive or make it bigger.
