Yay, glad to see the cube for Shadows of the Galaxy! Really looking forward to the starter deck videos! I play Twin Suns a lot with friends who don't have cards. Do you have any thoughts/suggestions for a cube tailored to a twin suns format or similar?
I have done twin suns out of my set 1 cube and it works great, no need to tailor the cube. We dealt out 6 leaders per player and did a double draft, similar to how leader draft works in regular draft, you just take 2 leaders and pass the rest. Then proceed to draft as normal. I think when we did it we drafted 5 packs instead of 3 as we had less players and wanted bigger card pools to work with. It was a LOT of fun.
I hope you do Rey and Kylo starter decks. All my official FFG starters are sleeved in the official FFG art sleeves and I also bought the Rey and Kylo ones for the purpose of using them on their starter deck.
What do you think would be the gameplay benefit of making that change? Personally I haven’t considered it, because every card can also be a resource you never run into having a clogged hand.
do you separate the cube into "booster boxes" before starting to play? Or just pick random 9 commons, 3 uncommons and 2 rare/legendary from the big box into piles on the fly? I'm doubting if I should get cubamajigs or similar as a way to simulate breaking packs, but wanted to learn from your experience
I don’t use cubamajigs personally, though I see the appeal. I usually just deal out packs by rarity as we sit down to play and players keep them stacked crosswise while we draft. Personally I’ve found the cubamajigs to be a bit fiddly.

Starting to build my set 2 cube as we speak. I love the idea, so thank you for show us how you are doing it!
Love it! Let us know how it goes! Thanks for the comment!

I plan to eventually but do not currently have lists for those leaders in the works. I need to see more First Order / Resistance cards first!
Any thoughts on having unique cards (aka with star by name) as singletons? This would impact uncommons quite a lot.

How many of the "s" rarity cards did you put in the cube?
Once I acquire them they’ll go in with uncommons as a 2x! That’s what I did for Spark of Rebellion and it worked very well!
