Join Me!

Okay, so maybe I am missing the point of this DS Tatooine interrupt, but what are some situations where I, as the LS player, would rather turn a just sliced Luke to the DS than simply re-circulate him into the lost pile? Either way, he's no good for attrition or battle damage.

 

You can't use his lightsaber to target an opponent's character and if the difference in power is already in your defavor, you lose more power. It's not about crossing Luke to the darkside, it's about getting rid of him right away in the battle. I play dark, I initiate, I slash Luke, play Join Me!, no more Luke for remainder of battle or he's mine at the end of the turn.

 

That makes sense. I had been looking at the card as merely another turn Luke card. What you say changes how I see the card.
