The Kessel Run preview event is an exclusive X-Wing tournament taking place in December and a limited number of retailers will have a chance to participate. As the second wave of X-Wing expansions won't be available until February, this exclusive event will provide players with an opportunity to see some of their favourite new starships in action!

Participating stores will each receive a preview kit containing the following items (limit one kit per store):

- One Millennium Falcon™ Expansion Pack

- One Slave I™ Expansion Pack

- Two A-Wing™ Expansion Packs

- Two TIE Interceptor™ Expansion Packs

- A promotional poster featuring art from the expansions

- An instructional letter detailing how to run a Kessel Run tournament

Each retailer participating in the Kessel Run preview event will run an X-Wing tournament. Players bring 100-point squadrons and compete through a number of Swiss-style preliminary rounds while following all the standard rules described in the X-Wing Tournament Rules document

However, in the final round, everything changes! After the close of the preliminary rounds, the tournament's two top players set aside their personal squads and assume control of preview squads built from the event kits.

One player will field two A-wings and the incomparable Millennium Falcon. The other will field two TIE Interceptors and the versatile and deadly Slave I. Then, each of the tournament's top four participants get to claim one of the preview expansions!

Prizes:

- 1st Place - First choice of one Kessel Run preview ship

- 2nd Place - Second choice of one Kessel Run preview ship

- 3rd Place - Third choice of one Kessel Run preview ship

- 4th Place - Fourth choice of one Kessel Run preview ship

The two remaining Kessel Run preview ships go to the Tournament Organizer as a "thank you" for all his or her hard work! NOTE: Retailers will find the full details on hosting a Kessel Run tournament, as well as the preview squad lists, in the kit's instructional letter.
