If you are interested in somewhere to start as an Expanded Universe fan by either obtaining competitive cards to play the game or simply collecting cards of your favorite characters than this is probably a must have set. Reflections II is probably the most sought-after set of the Star Wars CCG for Expanded Universe fans and is consequently one of the most valuable in terms of both specific cards and sealed product. Shannon, not only stood in for her role in the photoshoot but also played a role in preparing the other characters as well. Several of the alien characters including Xizor and Thrawn required a ton of makeup in addition to their costumes. Per an interview with Chuck Kallenback, who portrayed a Black Sun Vigo, Shannon McRandle was instrumental in using her skills as a makeup artist to assist in preparing the other stand-in models to look their part.
Additionally, several Decipher employees including one of the main designers Chuck Kallenbach wore costumes and makeup to have their photos taken for the images of the other Expanded Universe characters used in the set. A similar image to this one, excluding Corran, made it onto the “This Place Can Be A Little Rough” objective card.
There was even an oversized card made featuring Mara, Corran, and Talon all sitting at a cantina table that was given away at certain conventions, typically signed by McRandle, Stackpole, and Zahn. Stackpole and Timothy Zahn were used for the Corran Horn and Talon Karrde characters, respectively. While the digital art department created images for the Pulsar Skate, Stinger and Virago, Shannon McRandle was not the only model used for card images in this set.
