Season 10 kicked off in fine form with the CL Training Duel, where we had a gaggle of non-professional Duelers descend on the Emperor's Throne Room and test their Force abilities. Now that the halls are open, it's time to celebrate with TWO Duels in the same night!
The Doubleheader will be played out at Rob's new Jedi Temple, and he's excited to show off the new digs. He's also hoping the bacta tank (his swimming pool) will be ready for occupants, but that darn Texas heat may be boiling it too much. We'll wait and see!
But the biggest news of the Doubleheader is...TWO NEW CHARACTERS!!! While one is a fan favorite the other...well, not so much! Here they are:
We've got light side character Bo-Katan Kryze with her Nite Owls, and dark side character Reva the Third Sister with a pair of Purge Troopers. Each of them pull off a trick or two we've never seen in the league before! Perhaps one of them can score a victory in their match...?

MEET THE DUELERS:
Alex - Game 1 - Alex learned a hard lesson at the CL Training Duel, when his alliance partners left him hanging without protection. He can't wait to unload the Golden Jar Jar.
Atticus - Game 1 and 2 - Who would have thought an innocuous rock to the helmet would unlock such compulsion in Atticus at CL Training?
Bekah - Game 1 and 2 - NEW DUELER ALERT!!! Welcome to the table, Bekah! Word of advice: trust no one.
Curtis - Game 2 - For some reason Curtis is riding around in a canoe in the afternoon and will miss the first game. A canoe in this weather??? He'll be Ackbar-red from the sun...
Elliot - Game 1 and 2 - Elliot was SO CLOSE to his first career victory at CL Training. It took a historically unlucky redraw to dash his hopes. Hang in there, Elliot!
Evan - Game 1 and 2 - Rob tried to rush Evan off into retirement, forgetting he's still working for Curtis in facilities. Rob apologizes to the reigning Duels Champion!
Grant D - Game 1 and 2 - into the Duel having experienced a terrible draw in the Singles Tournament. He hopes for better luck in the Doubleheader. Maybe GAMBLER'S LUCK...
Ian - Game 1 and 2 - Ian plans on bringing his bathing suit, but not telling anybody he's bringing his bathing suit out of fear it will subliminally indicate he's fine dying early. That's the kind of thinking that wins Duels.
Jackson - Game 1 and 2 - He played a great game in his first 12-way Duel at CL Training, finishing a respectable seventh with Leia. He'd love to get further at the Doubleheader.
Parker - Game 1 and 2 - we owe a big thanks to Parker for stepping in and filling our last spot! He would love to finally make a deep run in one of the games.
Riley B - Game 1 and 2 - the word on the street is that not only is Riley running an underground Duels league, but now he's mass-producing and painting miniature droids. Duels fever is no joke.
Riley E - Game 1 and 2 - Riley would love to defend her Boba Fett trophy at the Doubleheader, or steal her dad's Jango.
Rob - Game 1 and 2 - Rob would love to defend his Jango Fett trophy at the Doubleheader, or steal his daughter's Boba.
