Force sabacc

The use of the term Force in Force sabacc (or Jhabacc) does not relate to using the Force for the purpose of play. The term is instead used to denote the battle between the Light Side and Dark Side at the table, and also in reference to the fact that the face cards typically carried Jedi and Sith themed graphics. The Moderation card, for example, carried the graphic of a Jedi Knight. Han Solo won the planet of Dathomir as a gift for Princess Leia Organa during a particular high-stakes game in the seedy underworld of Coruscant.
