My apologies if this has been addressed somewhere else already, but I didn't see it. 

 

Relevant text

 

Core Obi-Wan:  "While this unit is participating in an engagement, your opponent must place the first card of his edge stack faceup"

 

Ewok Lookout:  "While the Balance of the Force is with the light side, this unit gains -  Reaction:  After and opponent places a card into an edge stack, focus this unit to discard that card."

 

The following situation arose in game I was playing tonight IRL and we were wondering if we handled it right.

 

Core Obi was in an engagement, LS had 2 Ewok Lookouts ready and also had Balance.  DS plays their first edge card face-up as instructed by Obi's text.  The LS focuses an Ewok Lookout to discard it from the edge stack.  Now technically there isn't a first card physically in the DS's edge stack, even though one was there initially, but got discarded.  When DS goes to put their next edge card, will it still have to be face-up since the edge stack contains 0 cards at that point?

 

We actually played it that the next card would go facedown since there was a "first" card played even though it's no longer in the stack,  but weren't sure that was right.

 

Thanks in advance for any clarification anyone may have on this one.

You ruled it correctly. The first card of his edge stack was already placed, but discarded. Any subsequent card placed would be the second card and so on.

Playing a Twist however would be a whole new edge battle though.
