"Peace", I wonder if it means that everyone can move their figures but can't attack.

"Peace", I wonder if it means that everyone can move their figures but can't attack. But that doesn't make much sense thematically since Ghost Yoda had nothing to do with stopping attacks in the movie (Yes, Yoda also didn't seek Vengeance much in Episode III but the figures have gotten more and more movie-accurate lately) so I don't see why he'd do that here. Here's my idea for an incredibly simple Yoda. He has no attack and is only ten points for a simple reason. His effect is "Yoda may not be attacked and if he is the last figure you have remaining, you lose. If you have Luke Skywalker inplay, all of your Rebels are considered Jedi and all of your Jedi are considered Rebels." You basically would toss Yoda in with a Luke and you've got yourself an awesome cross-faction team. If, for example, you go with S3 Luke (the one with recover), Ghost Yoda, Gold Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Jedi Knight x4 you have yourself one heck of a decent team with six strikers, one of which will recover as long as you have other strikers. Another option in this case would be Luke as Stormtrooper, S3 Leia, Ghost Yoda, Jedi Knight x5. Or even Gold KAM, Ghost Yoda, Luke as Stormtrooper, S3 Leia, Jedi Knight x3 would be good. The "Peace" hinted at by Webhead is represented by "can't attack or be attacked" which makes perfect sense since the little bugger is a GHOST!

Wow, I didn't see the new pic until now... looks like a pretty cool figure. I am kind of relieved about the effect base, because when I heard there would be a Yoda repaint I got very, very nervous that we would end up with tons of "new Yoda" repaints being sold for $60 on eBay as "S1 Yodas". The effect base will make it harder to fake one... and the transparent plastic might be hard to paint on.
I still don't understand why he is 10 points... and is he a hologram or a spirit? Because as a hologram he could hold a lightsaber; since essentially he's just being broadcast like he's on TV; but as a spirit I don't think he could take a lightsaber with him...
Webhead, can you shine a little light on this guy? Please?

His effect is "Yoda may not be attacked and if he is the last figure you have remaining, you lose. ... The "Peace" hinted at by Webhead is represented by "can't attack or be attacked" which makes perfect sense.... For the first part of the effect you propose, several Yodas could be used on a team to put him in a position that normal figures would be vulnerable in, but that greatly fortify and strenthen figures that can be attacked. Like put a couple of him at the head of a group of advancing strikers, and if your opponent knocks down any Yodas, stand him back up (analagous to the Evade special power) since he's not allowed to be attacked. The effect base would make him stand higher, and have him protect figures behind him more. Personally though, I don't believe he will have an effect like this because attacktix is all about "the last one standing wins." If you have a Yoda still standing, even if he is a Yoda that is one with the force, then technically you are still in the game. It just doesn't seem right to have a figure still standing and lose the game.

"Peace", I wonder if it means that everyone can move their figures but can't attack. Ooo - I've got it! "Peace" might be a reference to the last line of EpI in the big celebration on Naboo. Now, we don't have any Gungans or the like, so it's probably not something that calls some wretched Gungan into play or protects it. Who else was at that celebration (besides, of course, Palpatine and Padme, who we haven't seen with those names since S1)? The Jedi Council! Thus, it might be a Jedi Council sort of effect that targets all Jedi on your team. It might give your team a free attack if it has enough Jedi on it, but that wouldn't be in keeping with the spirit of "Peace." Maybe instead, it allows you to designate one Jedi that your opponent cannot defeat on his or her next turn (hint, hint; Qui-Gon's in S5, and how would we keep him alive?).

Ok, you're all wrong. The figure is YOGURT, not Yoda. The saber is NOT a saber, but the Schwartz. And the effect is PIECE, not PEACE. The effect says that the player gets 10% of the opponent's income in the form of royalties!

Assuming we're now on the subject of Spaceballs, I am completely confused due to the fact that I have never seen those shows, and thus, I have not a clue which of the six characters shown in the picture above is Yogurt. However, since Yogurt is apparently a spoof off of Yoda, I suspect it is one of the two weird things in the middle...
