Star Wars: Unlimited Icons 2027 Edition: Release Date, Packs and Starter Box

Star Wars: Unlimited Icons 2027 Edition, the first Icons mini-set for the Star Wars trading card game, releases November 20, 2026 with more than 190 cards, per the official product page. It comes as 9-card booster packs, a booster 4-pack with an exclusive Cassian Andor variant card, and a Starter Box built around Darth Vader and Princess Leia. Icons packs cost less than standard set boosters, the page says, though no price is listed yet.

The Icons Products

Per the product page:

• Booster pack: 9 cards, about 5 commons, 2 uncommons, 1 rare or legendary and 1 Hyperspace foil
• Booster 4-pack: 4 Icons boosters plus an exclusive Cassian Andor variant card
• Starter Box: two pre-built 30-card decks led by Darth Vader and Leia Organa (Princess Leia on the box), three non-randomized deckbuilding packs per deck and 2 Icons boosters
• Booster display: 24 Icons booster packs, per the box shown on the product page

Fantasy Flight Games describes Icons as a smaller set focused on fan-favorite characters and straightforward mechanics, with cards strong enough to hold their own against a full-size set.

How the Starter Box Works

Per the October 14 article by Peter Schumacher:

• Game 1: Darth Vader (Icons 2027 Edition, 1) with a Vigilance base against Princess Leia (Icons 2027 Edition, 8) with a Cunning base
• Game 2: each player opens a non-randomized deckbuilding pack with a new base, KCM Mining Facility for Vader and Echo Base for Leia, plus upgrades
• Game 3: Experience and Shield tokens arrive, along with a full-art Hyperspace Han Solo (Icons 2027 Edition, 161)
• Game 4: a final pack lets you customize, with cards from Icons and past sets such as Jyn Erso and IG-88 from A Lawless Time
• Reward: 2 Icons booster packs once all four games are done

What Tyler Parrott Has Teased

In an October 21 preview, Tyler Parrott wrote that 20 reprints in Icons get new art, many with new art concepts, and that one of the set's leaders changes how you set up the game. Most reprints come from Spark of Rebellion, the set has the most high-cost cards of any Star Wars: Unlimited set so far, and it includes one character who has never appeared in the game before.

What It Means for Collectors

Icons is built as a way in: fewer cards than a standard set, cheaper packs and a guided Starter Box. For collectors, the fixed extras are the easy targets: the Cassian Andor variant is exclusive to the booster 4-pack, per the product page, and every Starter Box includes the same full-art Hyperspace Han Solo (161) in a non-randomized pack. Our take: if the Cassian Andor variant is your chase, the 4-pack is the only product listed with it at launch.
