Gameplay in Star Wars CCG involves playing location cards that can be converted to either the Light Side or Dark Side, in order to “Force Drain” the opponent. Force, represented by the decks, is the resource spent to play everything, but when drained, cards used to channel Force are removed from the game. When the opponent is decked out, you win.

Winning lightsaber duels, fighting the opponent’s characters, or achieving special in-game conditions can accelerate the rate of Force Drain, and that’s what made the Star Wars CCG so successful.
