I think it is a real shame that this card is in this set. Another example of a great card buried in a mediocre (at best) set.

Agreed Adam. This is another example of what upsets me about the objective system. They continue to increase the amount of sets like this one and because of that fact I am disliking objectives more and more. It is forcing me to want a change towards a customizable deck. It is getting so bad that my wife is noticing the amount of objective sets I don't use in my binder and she does not have a clue about this game.

Maybe that's what balances it .. but yeah, I see your point.

I know!  It's such a good card that half of me wants to run the set, but then the other half beats it up. 

 

It also bugs me on a thematic level.  I wish the Han rescue had its own light side sets.

I absolutely agree it is a balance mechanism; but this set even penalizes mono-jedi decks. How many of the currently used LS sets have non-jedi affiliation cards in them? MTFBWY Yoda, BTS Luke, all the Obi sets, Qu Rahn, C-3P0, Feris, Crow, the list goes on. It makes the resource practically unusable, and the early game for LS more difficult, and for 1 card. I just can't see myself finding space for this set at all.

 

The overall set isn't horrible; just 3 scrubs, a nearly unplayable resource and an objective you don't want to see early on ...

It only penalizes non-neutral out-of-faction cards. Still, it is not a great set.

This card looks like a less-powerful Jedi Mind Trick to me, and at least one of the sets that comes in is worth playing.
