My favorite game hands down and the core set is a great value. The game is incredibly fun and can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. It also truly captures the dogfighting of the movies and the spirit. You don't need the expansions to play but if you want them there a ton of them that allow you to tailor how you want to play. Lastly the game is supported wonderfully on an organized play level and has the best community around.
