The game has aspects of both miniatures and collectible card game genres. It is similar to WizKid's "Pirates Constructible Strategy Game" in some aspects, most notably the styrene constructible game pieces, which makes them both PocketModel games. The core gameplay however differs in many fundamental ways, most notably in how movement is handled, and the addition of cards, which adds the strategic element of deck construction which is most often found in CCGs. It derives its content from all six "Star Wars" movies and the franchise's Expanded Universe.
