First of all: great great work, I love the set and pretty much everything, and thanks for all the hard work.
Now about the balancing issues I think:
a) yoda's -1 is too powerful, in my opinion it should kill yoda or left it at 1.
b) dookus -6 seems arbitrary I know you intended to make it powerful but it doesn’t seem to match the esper theme.
c) Darth Vader having menace means he cannot trade with Luke Skywalker an I think he should! lol
d) Darth Sidious +1 is too much (maybe he could be like Sarkhan the mad, all minuses?)
e) But my main objection is regarding to Forcepull. It is just too OP, like way way too OP. I turns all spaceships into meh creatures and makes spaceflight kind of irrelevant. I would make it rare and cost it like 3GG and specially remove scry altogether, or just ditch it. Although I would prefer if you ditched the card altogether since there’s removal already and it kind devaluates spaceflight as a mechanic (as in why is it better or different as flying?).
i showed this to a friend at our LGS, who understands the mechanics of Magic, not a regular player at all, but loves Star Wars a lot.
he really likes the set and asked me to help him print it out so we can play it casually.
one big question i have, is what format do you think this set is suitable for?
obviously constructed is out of the question, but i'm thinking about draft or sealed (maybe cube, but not sure), but so far i have not figured out how many copies should we print of cards at a given rarity
maybe 4C/2UC/1R/1MR could be okay?
please share your experience if you have tried to play this set recently
I've been thinking a way to expand the set (creating maybe a second set for a SW block) mainly because of the SW hype we have received since last year. My greatest concern about the whole idea (which I admit it's great) is that I quite don't feel the flavor of Rebels and Empire while sub-themes under Jedis and Siths. For a moment I thought on making a expansion with wedges, being Jeskai correspondent to the Alliance and Mardu to the Empire, but mixing both wedges and shards on a cube doesn't sound mechanic viable. Then I imagined making a cycle of pairs corresponding to the originals shards (much like the relation between clans and broods in Tarkir). I don't know yet, maybe you guys could help me figuring it out!
EDIT: I've just seen the change on Yoda's emblem, genius!

oh by the way as of today
your going to have a heart attack
im not sure if you heard of this fan magic program.
but xmage decided to put in your star wars set into xmage.
As i see, in this game there are five interesting ways to make three-colors deck. Maybee, somebody has decklists?..
This little gem I came up with makes me laugh.
