Reflections III
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Reflections III was the last "reflection" set that Decipher released. The Reflection sets (which also included Reflections: A Collector's Bounty, and Reflections II: Expanding the Galaxy) included foils (specialty cards with metal foil enhancements to the artwork) of previously released cards (an example would be a "Disarmed" card from Premiere, now released as a foil).
The set contained premium cards as well that were found in standard booster packs. Each pack included a number of random cards, 1 random foil, and 4 premium cards.

[edit] Changes to gameplay
Reflections III introduced a few new gameplay mechanics to SW:CCG:
[edit] Defensive Shields
Defensive shields were basically a side-board for counters to the more abusive strategies in SW:CCG. There was also a new sub-type of an effect, Starting Effect. The starting effect was what let the Defensive Shields be played for better capacity in a player's deck.
[edit] Lightsaber Combat
Lightsaber combat was introduced along with the objectives for it. It depicted the duel from Naboo, and was intended to be a longer version of dueling (as dueling is already in the game).
[edit] Maintenance Cost
The maintenance cost (or, known as Upkeep in Magic) is a way to balance more powerful cards, by giving them a requirement to stay on table.
