Video here, from Official PAD YouTube channel:
All artwork so far
14 characters shown.
- With 3 evolutions (2): Anakin Skywalker, Yoda

- No evolutions (7): Leia Organa, Chewbacca, Padme Amidala, Ahsoka Tano, R2-D2, C-3PO, Lando Calrissian
According to YamaP, the collab artwork this time is provided by Lucas Films, with the exception of Darth Vader and Yoda, which is drawn by PAD illustrator NINNIN.
For translations below: Big thanks to Flandre who typed all the names in light speed, and Karyu who translated the rest of the names.
I will take this over Marvel, Jujutsu Kaisen and Dragon Quest collabs combined!
But not MHA and Disney!
tbh, those colabs are outdated
They’re prime candidate to get huge buffs. MHA was in a weird place. They were trying hard not power creeping and ended up making pretty much all sub-par. One of the reason I think is they were trying to see which direction they should go for transformation cards.
If we didn’t get Disney, then we ain’t getting it. So yeah. And don’t harass YamaP
but what if we got linkedin premium and contacted gunghoJP and marvel employees directly?
The text and picture between Kylo Ren and Vader’s Admirer, Kylo Ren are switched.
Thank you for all of your work!
Got it, fixed! Thanks~ 😀
Just that we’re all clearly here, NA is NOT gonna get this collab. Let’s just move on
Definitely. It’s also owned by Disney so you are correct. I’m glad people are already saying this instead of just “hoping it comes.”
This didn’t age well
Might as well confirm this is not coming to NA. Don’t care anyways. This artwork is really bad
Yup, Disney owns it so definitely not coming to NA.
Is this the first time PaD has had artwork based on real humans? in Marvel all the artwork was based on comic book versions and not on the MCU actors. Since Star Wars characters designs seem to all look like the actors except Yoda and DC.
Most (all? I don’t read the comics) of the Star Wars characters shown originated in the movies, so they don’t really have a choice for having alternate appearances for them. Not the case with Marvel – so I’d imagine with Marvel they made the choice to avoid paying extra for likenesses on TOP of just the licensing itself which was probably already expensive enough.
The part about how NINNIN only got to do 2 characters (that dont look like humans) got me thinking that paying actors for their likeness might be part of why they had LucasArts make it. Sometimes contracts have weird loops and hoops you have to go through.
OMG i cant wait
I’m gonna try to roll for Picard and Malcolm Reynolds.
I’m just gonna simp for orb skin Riker. His animation better have him go from standing to sitting.
They also gotta have Geordi La Forge with and without his visor.
And then the black medal purchase of William Shatner. Not him in character…just straight up William Shatner with voice awakening in the first slot so you have no choice but to have him talking.
If geordi gets version with and without his visor then which hairpiece does Shatner get? And is he going to be the only ToS left in game just like in real life? I wouldn’t mind having a The Sisko
Shatner’s hairpieces should all be separate assists that have different awakening and skills and their skill name is based on the source material it’s from.
I love the fact that Shatner’s voice awakening is just his rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. It’s five minutes long and adds 50MB to the download size all on its own.
The best part is that it’s the first awakening slot, so unless you want a really underpowered dude since his three 10 combo awakenings come after the voice awakening. He’s OP, especially with Bohemian Rhapsody.
Were they trying to save money or trying to force the art style to players? I’m guess the latter. Some are good but overall they looks bad. Should’ve let the jp artists do their job. Failed marketing if anything… as expected.
Its possible it has to do with with the characters in starwars being based on the actors who played them who have agents and lawyers protecting their likeness and LucasArts was the only players who could make the artwork. We’s have to research into EA’s starwars contract and development of battlefront to see how much lucasarts did art and model wise
There better not be any meta cards in this collab
Han Solo is R/G so you can count on him having TPAs to push Grigory into use one more time but no one will actually use it because no one actually wants to rely on TPAs for consistent damage outside of farming
Why does Jedi Master Luke have his Rebel Alliance outfit and a blaster. He should be wearing the black tunic from episode 6 and wielding his green lightsaber.
The video shows art for a Storm Trooper unit as well, which I guess is the closest we’re getting to Finn, despite Rey and Kylo making it in as Disney Trilogy reps.
I guess it’s not enough that the movies sidelined him, the collab had to as well, huh?
Turns out people overall didn’t like having a black guy forced on their screen and a lit less people like the character than you think. GGG was in one movie for like 6 seconds as a JJ Abrams cameo and was even more liked than finn.
Whenever I see GGG I think of Guy Fieri. Now I’m thinking of him in Star Wars lol.
Greg GrunberGer
Wait, you’re telling me people liked Rey and Kylo?
The first ever VDP equip? This could be huge.
Huge enough to be trending on Japan Twitter!
They just dont care about powercreep now. They honestly can’t powercreep because of the damage cap.
It won’t save light. Kio for example cannot give up HP for a VDP awakening because he has no HP in leaderskill and relies on shield only. Any amount of HP reduction and you might well be using metal slime or Touya as a lead instead
Is that a typo or does he really do 50x attack for self on a 5 turn cooldown? That’s double damage cap easy.
Not a typo as far as I can see!
Damn, he’s definitely overpowered lol. If I played JP region I’d whale for dupes of him.
Says in the post “*Darth Maul will be a Monster Exchange card, and is not inheritable onto other cards” lol
Why would I need to inherit him? I’d use him in the lineup as is.
I think he will be expensive (5 black medals?) given how absurd his active is.
Being able to inherit him to other cards opens teams that use his active rather than actually use him as a sub which can hinder teambuilding a lot. Same goes for the leader change guy from jujutsu collab.
Ok cool thanks. Now I get it. That makes sense.
Anakin and Darth Vader are the same card? Does he turn into Darth Vader at some point in the movies?
Darth Vader is just several Ewoks stacked on top of each other in a suit.
It’s similar to how i like to tell people that I’m not really a human, I’m just a very large amount of spiders in a human skin suit.
o boy I hope they give us 100 stones to throw into this badboy
JP has a 3 stones a day event going on this month. I kinda dont like it compared to the big stone gifts.
Yeah me neither. It has been over half of the month until we knew about this collab, I guess folks have spent a lot in previous collabs already.
Ah yes, first-ever vdp equip, lots of good/unique cards, typical jp-only collab. Now we just need a new GFE / top rarity card in NA that only becomes super OP when pair with these cards to rub it in.
Honestly, with the way NA is way behind schedule, I wouldn’t be surprise if tomorrow they announce shut down NA server.
No Disney, No MHA, No Marvel, possibly No Jujutsu Kaisen, No Star Wars. It’s getting bad in the NA server. The only collabs left that are guaranteed is the rerun of Gung-ho. Then seasonal is beach probably on Monday…in almost October for beach lol.
Odd of you to rule out Jujutsu Kaisen for no reason
They wrote possibly no
I’m ok with NA shutting down. PaD has been downhill in terms of well designed dungeons and monsters for a long time now. The dungeon designs have been about introducing a new mechanic that makes the dungeon extremely frustrating without having a new monster from a REM. Ever since Myr Descended I think the game has been like this. It would be cool if source code leaks for JP pad someday so I or another fan can modify it to have the game locally on our phones and let players download new collabs and dungeons like mods packs. Mobile games have improved a lot since PaD too. Wild Rift, Apex Legends, and Valorant are all coming to mobile and those are all just higher quality games.
I kinda feel the same. Out of all of the collabs that JP has had in the last couple months, if NA only gets the rerun of Gung-Ho then seasonals, and the normals like Key Heroes, Spirits, and Faeries then NA server might as well just either close.
Mmmhmhm! Use Zeus Dios again, you will!
The green Remdra also works as well. But yeah, Yoda is going to be a really good farming lead.
Why does Jedi Knight luke have a gun instead of a jedi sword? the base form has the sword? The sword equips all looks slightly different with color and glow on the portrait frame and the artwork. I have no idea who a lot of these people are. The last star wasr I saw was when they added Jar Jar.
And know I want a Chewie so badly, don’t care about the card at all, just a huge fan of the Wookie and got my nickname because of him as a Chewie all sorts of things collector ^^
Despite being an American movie I doubt we will get it
It’s owned by Disney and we haven’t gotten any other Disney owned entities (Disney and Marvel) I don’t see NA getting this at all.
keep seething.
A hotdog is not a sandwich
at subway when you get a sub the bread is usually not completely cut along the mid. Is that not a sandwhich? How about uncrustables? are those not sandwiches?
When I was babysitting when I was younger, I took two slices of bread and placed them against the kid’s cheeks. They asked what I was doing and I told them I was “making an idiot sandwich.”
What’s stopping people from switching over to JP server?
Language barrier shouldn’t be much of an issue, especially since we have many resources such as this website. Older players don’t even need that much help navigating around anymore, unless there’s new content.
We get to experience all the content, and get it ahead of everyone else
3P Multiplayer exists here
JP server is obviously prospering more than NA server. Stability doesn’t seem to be an issue, at least compared to NA.
Moving to JP server eliminates the “fear of missing out” feeling, the endless complaints and comparisons, the feeling of needing to go online to advocate for “fairness” to a company who probably doesn’t listen…You just have to get past the small hurdle of navigating through the menu—which is already simple enough thanks to visual cues.
For me, I just have no idea how to download a JP version of the Google Play Store or a JP app on the NA version.
qooapp dude. or find a link to the apk every update if you dont want to have qooapp installed for privacy or dont like the ads.
I want to be able to do teambuilding within the app. I dont have the active and leaderskills of everything memorized. I also can’t use the search by monster name or skill function and thats the quickest way to find something in a box with 4000 like mine or to find fujin actives by searching “absorp”
This. Swapped to jp about a year ago during anniversary and it was the best decision ever. Knew NA was dead but once swapped it’s obvious how dead the server really is. Playing for years on NA and knowing the formats makes it much smoother not knowing Japanese. Already a higher level and a better box after a year with Jp’s generosity
best case scenario they realize theres free money in the NA players that play the game when they stop paying to run the servers and let us do an account server swap or combine our na and JP boxes
Huh. R2D2 helps blue units like Rey much more than primarily light units like Luke. Weird…
Maybe Luke’s X-Wing is blue, since it canonically ‘equips’ R2? : P
Puzzles and advertisements.
NA WAS HERE 😀
