Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy, launched in January of 2001, represents the second reflective-style collection crafted by Decipher for their Star Wars Customizable Card Game. The initial offering in this style was Reflections: A Collector's Bounty.
To alleviate a substantial overstock of cards, Decipher incorporated previously available cards into Reflections II, presenting them in a foil treatment alongside other cards from prior releases. Notably, this set pioneered the inclusion of entirely new cards within the reflective format.
The set encompasses a total of 105 Foil cards, divided into 4 Ultra Rare, 62 Super Rare, and 34 Very Rare classifications. Additionally, it features five Premium Foil Cards: Boba Fett with Blaster Rifle, Darth Vader (Japanese), Han with Heavy Blaster Pistol, Leia with Blaster Rifle, and Obi-Wan with Lightsaber.
Dubbed "Expanding the Galaxy," Reflections II distinguished itself by introducing 54 New Premium cards centered around the Expanded Universe, marking the first instance of such content. Among these were:
- Corran Horn
- Talon Karrde
- Mirax Terrik Horn
- Grand Admiral Thrawn
- Kir Kanos
- Dash Rendar
- Outrider
- Leebo
- Prince Xizor
- Guri
The set also brought forth new objectives: Black Sun for the Dark Side, illustrating the vast criminal syndicate, and Watch Your Step for the Light Side, focusing on smuggling activities.
Reflections II broke ground by introducing combo cards, which merged two existing cards into a single entity. Examples include:
