Currently, this is a build that needs refinement, and I'm looking for advice. Note this is Trilogy format. Below are my thoughts on some cards:

Obi-Wan Kenobi's Lightsaber - 100% should be in this deck, especially while running Defensive Teaching, but I don't own it currently. Working on getting it in trade. At only 9 upgrades, it would likely replace an event (Pacify?).

I considered a A99 Aquata Breather to soak up some damage from indirect. Not sure about the need/usefulness there. It potentially could protect some shields which generally do the soaking and are obviously important in this deck.

2 copies of Heightened Awareness has me worried because of cost, and blue decks like this are traditionally tight on resources. But....it is a powerful surprise when you've got Qui-Gon's dice in the pool already.

I've considered Luke's Protection, but in general it just always has felt like a slow play to me. I'd rather get an extra shield from claiming. BUT...I've also considered Theed Royal Palace - Naboo as the stronger location choice, and if I did, I might have to throw Luke's Protection back in.

Become One and Ataru Strike are the blowout out of hand damage moves, but do I need 4 of them?

Finally, the card I'd like the most input on: Crafted Lightsaber. I'm considering visiting this card despite it's obvious drawback. But, it fits my play style. I generally will reserve resources for mitigation if it's in hand (especially if I have something strong like Beguile. Then, if I can make some more resources in the round I tend to drop a weapon down later on (especially if the opponent got the jump on the claim). Frankly, that play style might just be wrong, but I thought...if I'm doing that anyway, why not get a strong 2 drop out for next round? I could be completely backwards in my thinking on this. I just hate the play of dropping 2 resources on weapon, and giving your opponent a confident activation of their best character because I have no resources showing (This seems to be another good argument to run Theed Royal Palace - Naboo).
