I was playing a game where I had a couple cards on this objective and I discarded them even though the objective had no damage on it. I WAS able to draw a card, which was the main reason (aside from semi-permanently removing a valuable captured card from my opponent's reach) I decided to use the objective's ability.
Was that OK, or does the objective HAVE to be damaged in order to use its ability?
With Feeding the Pit, I am proposing the same situation. You pay the cost, but don't get all the benefits. Healing Feed the Pit is definitely NOT part of the cost.
I am going to go ahead and submit a rules query on this and the Falcon, to be sure.

Me: For Feeding the Pit, you can choose to discard the captured card (the cost), but if you can't heal the objective, you can't draw a card. You still, however, have succeeded in discarding that captured card (which is a rather nice way of putting valuable cards more out of reach of your opponent). Correct?
Nate: Correct. The cost is still paid (the captured card is discarded), but as there is no damage on the objective, nothing is healed. Since nothing is healed, the "then" effect following it does not resolve either.

So, this teaches us to look out for "then" statements to make sure that they can be resolved. So I was partly right about this card, and partly wrong.
I have used the link in the rules clarification thread for 3 questions all sent late last week, and have had no replies yet.
Yes, but if you have an eligible unit, you have to put it in to play.
umm...yes. I can't tell you how many times I've had my Han or Luke captured just to see it get discarded by this effect. GRR!! Such an evil card.
I was playing on OCTGN and made my opponent discard Han in such a manner. He was so displeased . Truly evil.

The links in the post above already say so but I want to put it here right beneath the card: section 3.6 of the FAQ reverses this answer.
