Star Wars Galaxies: Legends Issue #19 – Galactic Moon Festival, Wookiee Life Day, and More!

With the arrival of Star Wars Galaxies: Legends Issue #19 of the Community Transmission, we’re diving into a galaxy of thrills, chills, and holiday cheer. Whether you’re cozying up indoors or scrolling for the latest updates, this newsletter promises a whirlwind tour of festivities, battles, and heartfelt community stories.

Let’s unpack this transmission, and may the Force guide you through the excitement!

Galactic Moon Festival 2024: Toil, Trouble, and Terrifying Tales

The Galactic Moon Festival brought spine-tingling adventures, from the Sayormi witches’ sinister schemes on Rori to the shadowy rise of Lord Nyax. If cauldron-bubbling chaos wasn’t enough, Historian Qwy added her own twist, weaving eerie tales that unleashed unexpected horrors. Last spotted running into the wilderness, Qwy’s fate remains a chilling mystery. Will we see her again? Probably, but only after a lot of therapy.

Costume enthusiasts also brought their A-game. The Galactic Moon Festival Costume Contest returned, dazzling audiences at the Bespin Arena. From creative masterpieces to downright bizarre ensembles, the judges had a tough time picking winners. (Strawberry Shortcake Sith, anyone?)

Kashyyyk’s Haunted Forest: When Sith Go Bump in the Night

Kashyyyk’s haunted forests became a battlefield as Darth Nocturne and her Sith minions unleashed the “Veil of Night.” Despite the minions’ creepy mynocks and cultist rituals, brave heroes united to fend off the dark side—three times, because once just wasn’t enough. The Sith might be licking their wounds in the shadows, but something tells us they’ll be back. Stay vigilant, heroes!

Wookiee Life Day: Deck the Halls, Smash the Presents

As the snowflakes start falling, Wookiee Life Day is just around the corner! Whether you’re trimming trees, singing carols with Leia, or smashing presents (yes, really), this event has something for every mood. Humbug types, rejoice—you’re included too.

And in a touching moment, the galaxy will pause to honor Carrie Fisher’s memory with an in-game ceremony. Keep your tissues handy.

QA Team Spotlight: Bug Squashing, Star Wars Style

Behind every thrilling quest and battle lies the unsung heroes of SWG Legends: the Quality Assurance (QA) team. They don’t just zap bugs; they obliterate them with lightsaber precision. From sunshine testing to monkey testing (yes, they do try to break the game in hilariously creative ways), the QA team ensures every update shines.

Fun fact: They use a kanban tool called ClickUp to track bugs. So, next time you marvel at a flawless mission, remember the QA team and their epic dedication. Thanks, heroes!

Roleplaying Adventures: Be Your Own Star Wars Legend

Whether you dream of being a rogue smuggler, a TIE pilot, or a Force-sensitive hiding from the Empire, SWG Legends offers endless roleplay possibilities. With player cities, storyteller props, and collaborative quests, your imagination is the only limit.

Pro tip: Spot a group of Mandalorians zipping by? Don’t hesitate to ask what they’re up to. They might just invite you to join the action.

A Toast to Community: PHNIX Guild’s Heartwarming Tale

SWG Legends isn’t just about lightsabers and Sith; it’s about connections. The PHNIX guild recently shared their incredible story of camaraderie, including a real-world meet-up in Orlando. Between Disney adventures, $200 Uber rides, and enough whiskey to fuel a Corellian freighter, this group proved that the galaxy’s strongest force is friendship.

Conclusion: The Force of Community

Star Wars Galaxies: Legends isn’t just a game—it’s a living, breathing galaxy shaped by its players. From festive thrills to collaborative storytelling, this community shines brighter than a lightsaber in the dark. So, gear up for the adventures ahead, whether they’re spooky, snowy, or somewhere in between. And don’t forget to thank the QA team—they’re the real MVPs.

May the Force be with you, always.
