Rulings for Card
Q: If an "On Attack" ability defeats the only opposing Sentinel defender, can I now attack the base?
Examples: Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, On Attack, Sentinel
A: No, you must declare your target of attack first. Since the Sentinel requires you to choose it as the defender, if the "On Attack" ability defeats your declared target, it is no longer valid and the attack is ineffective.
Q: If there are no enemy units does Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith's ability trigger against a friendly unit?
Examples: Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith
A: Yes, your option is to not use the ability. Once it is triggered all actions must be performed if able. Since a friendly unit is a unit it is a valid target.
Rulings for Leader
Q: Can Boba Fett, Disintegrator deal the 3 damage to a Leader on the turn it is deployed?
Examples: Boba Fett, Disintegrator, Leader
A: When a leader unit is deployed, they do not enter play. Leaders are always in play, they just change from their leader side to their leader unit side. As a leader unit, since they aren't considered to have entered play this phase, Boba Fett's ability will deal 3 damage to them if he attacks them (and they are exhausted).
Q: If a Leader is defeated does it trigger a "When an enemy unit leaves play" effect?
Examples: Boba Fett, Collecting the Bounty, Leader, When an enemy unit leaves play
A: Leaders are always in play despite what state they are in (Leader vs Unit). They enter the game in play as a Leader, and remain in play as they transition to a Unit and potentially back to the Leader state if they are defeated. Abilities that reference when a card enters play or leaves play won’t interact with a Leader being deployed or defeated.
