The Rise of the Empire expansion for Star Wars™: Rebellion is now available!

Largely inspired by the characters and events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Rise of the Empire is an expansion for Star Wars: Rebellion that adds new depth and intrigue to the game’s epic conflicts between the tyrannical Galactic Empire and rag-tag Rebel Alliance.

Altogether, Rise of the Empire introduces eight new leaders, thirty-six plastic miniatures, five target markers, two attachment rings, three new dice, and more than one-hundred new cards. You’ll find U-wings, TIE Strikers, Nebulon-B frigates, and assault tanks. You’ll gain new ways of subverting your opponent’s plans, and you’ll discover a whole new chapter in your ongoing Galactic Civil War!

This new expansion adds a ton of new stuff to the game and some new mechanics as well. You can play through the new missions or you can combine the sets and see what craziness the game gets up to. Want to see if the Death Star Plans can be stolen by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo? Or maybe the fiendish Jabba the Hut can capture Jyn Erso! How will your Rebellion play out?

Even Jabba the Hutt makes an appearance, offering his services to the Empire and feeding his prisoners to the Sarlaac.

Altogether, Rise of the Empire introduces eight new leaders, thirty-six plastic miniatures, five target markers, two attachment rings, three new dice, and more than one-hundred new cards.
