Even with good dice (four 6's in a row anyone), five starting resource planets, and reasonable cards, Karl the Hutt slowly fell behind. Once the Hutt menace was contained, Darth Wood chopped up the Rebels well and good.
After six turns the only Imperial bases that had been damaged were those displaced by Hutts. The Core Worlds changed color like a chameleon every turn and in the end it was one system short of being an Imperial province.
With the fate of the galaxy looking dismal, the Rebels made a valiant last stand at Bespin... and survived. Another Imperial onslaught in the Outer Rim also fell short. Even so, the Rebelion was holding on to less than eight systems. Darth Wood moved reinforcements to the Outer Rim to guarantee a crushing victory there the next turn.
Except there was no next turn. The Rebels played their "One in a Million" card (just picked up the previous round) and took out the Death Star at Duro. The single Imperial garrison was no match for the modest but desperate Rebel assault force. The Storm Troopers were wiped out and, to both Rebel and Hutt astonishment, the Emperor was captured. A Rebel victory was pulled out of the hat at the last minute and it was a third victory in a row for Ric.
