Reflections III was the last "reflection" set that Decipher released for its Star Wars Customizable Card Game. The Reflection sets (which also included Reflections: A Collector's Bounty, and Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy) included foils (specialty cards with metal foil enhancements to the artwork) of previously released cards (an example would be a "Disarmed" card from Premiere, now released as a foil).
Each booster pack contained 18 cards (one random foil card and four premium cards which were unique to the Reflections III set, as well as cards found in previously released expansion sets). In total the entire Reflections III set contained 100 of these unique premium cards and 100 of the unique foil cards.
The set contains a total of 100 foils cards, which are four Ultra Rare, 54 Super Rare, and 42 Very Rare.
Gameplay
Reflections III introduced a few new gameplay mechanics:
Defensive Shields: Defensive Shields were basically a side-board for counters to the more abusive strategies in the game. There was also a new sub-type of an effect, Starting Effect, which let the Defensive Shields be played for better capacity in a player's deck.
Lightsaber Combat: Lightsaber combat was introduced along with the objectives for it. It depicted the duel from Naboo, and was intended to be a longer version of dueling (as dueling was already in the game).
Maintenance Cost: The maintenance cost (also known as Upkeep in Magic) is a way to balance more powerful cards, by giving them a requirement to stay on table.
