Are the card decks balanced, or are some characters more powerful than others?

By Erik Arneson, About.com

Question: Are the card decks balanced, or are some characters more powerful than others?
Answer: "The decks are roughly balanced, but we had no problem making some more powerful than others. If Darth Vader can mop the floor with Han Solo 3 out of 4, then that makes sense within the Star Wars universe. It does go the other way, as I kicked Vader's mechanical behind with Han and Chewie just last week."

(This answer is from Rob Daviau of Hasbro Games. A deck-by-deck analysis of strategies, written by Daviau, was published in Issue 10 of Star Wars Gamer magazine.)
