A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. Luke Skywalker and gang decide to ditch the force and play with cards instead. LOL. That isn’t exactly the premise in the first of two brand new Star Wars games that we are highlighting today, but close. Konami’s Star Wars: Force Collection is, as you can probably guess it, a collectible card game for iOS and Android devices coming out on September 4th for FREE.

In this card-battling game, players are in command of more than 230 heroes, villains, and vehicles from Star Wars Episodes I-VI. Players will cross the Star Wars™ galaxy completing quests, fighting battles, and collecting powerful cards and upgrades. As players progress, their actions will determine whether they join and fight on the light or dark side of the Force during global player events. The IP itself may convince me to jump on the CCG bandwagon on mobile platforms, so stay tuned for a review on Nineoverten.com
