As with all Trading Card Games (TCGs), some cards are far more valuable than others. Star Wars Unlimited is no different so here’s a look at the most expensive cards thus far as the game edges closer to the release of its second Set.
Star Wars Unlimited may just be establishing itself in the TCG market, yet already with the first set, players are trading cards for hundreds of dollars each.
While a typical Booster Box will run you up to $119.99 USD, at least, that’s the store price when in stock, the tantalizing chance of unpacking one of the more lucrative cards is what keeps everyone coming back for more. Naturally, with stock shortages across the board, booster prices, and subsequently, single prices, have all skyrocketed.

Check out Star Wars Unlimited on TCGPlayerUnderstanding card rarity in Star Wars Unlimited
To understand the value of cards in Star Wars Unlimited, you first have to understand the game’s rarity system. In each pack you have a chance to find cards from four tiers, they are as follows in order of rarity:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Legendary (1 found in every 8 Booster Packs on average)
However, there’s far more to card rarity than just this list. Every single card in the game can be found with a Hyperspace variant (where artwork spills out of the border to fill the entire card) or a Foil variant (where backgrounds appear shiny). Better yet, if you’re extremely lucky, you can find versions of cards with both Hyperspace and Foil effects applied.

Thanks to a breakdown on the official Star Wars Unlimited website, we can share the odds of finding cards in these particular rarities.
- Foil card – Guaranteed 1 per Booster Pack
- Hyperspace card – 2 per 3 Booster Packs on average
- Hyperspace Rare / Legendary – 1 per 15 Booster Packs on average
- Foil & Hyperspace Rare / Legendary – 1 per 50 Booster Packs on average
Though topping the list above all else are the Showcase versions of select Leader cards. The odds of finding one of these are incredibly slim. With an average of 1 per 12 Booster Boxes open, not Packs, Boxes. You have a 1 in 4,608 chance (0.0217%) of finding one.

So while Foils, Hyperspaces, and combinations of both are still incredibly rare, it’s Showcase cards that are the most valuable in Star Wars Unlimited.
Furthermore, with in-store events taking place every week now, reward cards have also become highly sought after.

Most expensive cards in Star Wars Unlimited
As Star Wars Unlimited is technically just a few months old, nearing its second Set release, and with Booster Packs exceedingly hard to come by with stock selling out across the globe, prices of individual cards are constantly changing.
As more Boosters eventually get out in the wild with gradual restocks, new Sets are deployed, and more copies of each card are discovered, their value can fluctuate in the early market. So while we’re about to list off the most expensive Star Wars Unlimited cards thus far, it’s worth bearing in mind that prices can change on a near-daily basis as the game is incredibly fresh. Rest assured, we’ll be updating this list frequently to reflect changes in the market.

10. Grand Admiral Thrawn – Patient and Insightful (Showcase): $306
He’s big, he’s blue, and he’s extremely valuable. In tenth on the list comes Grand Admiral Thrawn’s Showcase card. While his value has plateaued, much like a handful of other Showcases, he still remains ahead of the likes of Chirrut, Hera, and more. Despite the current market price sitting just over $300, Thrawn has been sold for as much as $350 in recent deals.
9. Grand Moff Tarkin – Oversector Governor (Showcase): $338
Tarkin comes in ninth place with his Showcase card running for a pretty penny. This Leader has gained a foothold in the meta of late, leading to a surge in the cost of his Showcase variant. While early sales dropped the market value to around $303, it has regained somewhat of a foothold, keeping it in the top 10.

8. Iden Versio – Inferno Squad Commander (Showcase): $340
Protagonist of the 2017 Star Wars Battlefront 2 singleplayer story, Iden Versio comes in next with her own Showcase card valued at roughly $340 at this point in time, right alongside Director Krennic in seventh, and Grand Moff Tarkin in ninth.
With early tournaments taking place across April and May, Iden Versio was originally overlooked. But those helping shape the meta ever since have noted her power in Control decks especially, given her free healing action that can be utilized every turn.
7. Director Krennic – Aspiring to Authority (Showcase): $341
Thanks to some big wins at early Star Wars Unlimited tournaments, Director Krennic’s Showcase card was soaring up the charts in the opening weeks. Today, it sits at a market price of around $340.

Given Krennic’s power and recent surge in the meta, Krennic has climbed from ninth place up to seventh in just a matter of weeks. Though with little difference between this Showcase and a handful of others, Krennic could jump around quite a bit in the coming weeks.

Everyone’s favorite ‘walking carpet’ Chewie comes in next with this Leader Showcase card storming up the charts since the first set’s release.

A handful of sales have even seen Chewbacca traded for as much as $500 already.

While currently valued at around $350, Sabine’s Showcase card has previously sold for as much as $420.
4. Han Solo – Audacious Smuggler (Showcase): $471
While sitting as the fourth most valuable Showcase card today, Han’s value has been in decline of late. Although individual sales of this card have gone for as much as $770 in the earlier weeks of Set 1, the current market price stands at just over $400.

As one of the most powerful Leaders in the game thus far, Papa Palp is among the most treasured under the Command Aspect.
2. Leia Organa – Alliance General (Showcase): $626
Princess Leia has officially stolen the second spot with her extremely valuable Showcase card. While prices for this particular item initially started slow, sales have only continued to climb since launch, pushing the market value to around $266, placing Leia over Palpatine.

4. Luke Skywalker – Jedi Knight (Hyperspace & Foil): $61
As one of the most powerful Legendary cards in Star Wars Unlimited, the Luke Skywalker Unit card has been an extremely valuable pull in Set 1.

3. Boba Fett – Disintegrator (Hyperspace & Foil): $66
If you’ve played against a Boba Leader deck, chances are, they have the Boba Fett Unit card to complement it. Synergizing all too well with Fett’s Firespray and the Leader card itself, Boba Fett’s Unit card has become extremely valuable, sitting at a market price of $66.
2. Darth Vader – Commanding the First Legion (Hyperspace & Foil): $92
None other than Darth Vader’s unit card comes in second place. Having previously sold for as much as $280, Vader has slowed down somewhat in recent weeks as more counters become prevalent in the meta. Though with his incredible ability to put further Units on the board, it’s still among the very best Legendary cards in Star Wars Unlimited today.

1. Mace Windu – Party Crasher (Champion): $120
As the first-ever Store Showdown reward, this Mace Windu variant has exploded as the single most expensive non-Showcase card in Star Wars Unlimited. Just one of these is available per store, and as you guessed, it’s only handed out to the lone winner of a Set 1 Store Showdown event. As a result, they’re extremely rare and naturally difficult to attain.
