The Era of Andor rollout in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is still going, and now it is Cinta Kaz’s turn to hit the holotables. Fantha Tracks picked up the news from Lucasfilm Games, while the official kit reveal mirrored on SWGOH.GG places her Marquee event from March 10 to March 17 as part of the broader Andor-era release schedule. That alone is enough to make Andor fans pay attention, because Cinta was never the loudest character in the room. She was the one who made silence feel dangerous. And honestly, that seems to be exactly what the game is leaning into here. The official kit reveal describes her as a cold, fearless assassin and a stealthy Attacker who slots into the new Rebel Fighter team alongside Cassian Andor (Undercover), Luthen Rael, Kleya Marki, and Vel Sartha.

The Vintage Collection Finally Gets Baze Malbus, and Rogue One Fans Have Every Right to Be Happy About It
Hasbro has officially opened pre-orders for a deluxe Vintage Collection Baze Malbus, and honestly, it is about time. For a character who spent Rogue One stomping around with a cannon the size of a small grievance and delivering some of the movie’s coolest non-Jedi energy, Baze has felt weirdly overdue in this format. Now he is finally here as VC397, priced at $27.99, and yes, this absolutely feels like one of those releases collector shelves have been waiting on for longer than they probably want to admit. This Is Very Clearly a Rogue One Anniversary Play Hasbro is framing the figure as part of the 10-year celebration of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which makes perfect sense. If you are going to start mining that movie again for collector goodwill, Baze is a strong place to do it. He is not background filler, not a blink-and-you-miss-him alien, and not…

Andor Wins Rotten Tomatoes’ Golden Tomato Award for Best TV Series of 2025
For a franchise that’s been around for nearly 50 years, Star Wars still finds ways to surprise people. This time, it’s not with a trailer or a new cast announcement. It’s with something a little rarer in modern fandom discourse: a clear, public “best of the year” win. Rotten Tomatoes has awarded Andor: Season 2 the Golden Tomato for Best TV Series of 2025.

Kino Loy Made His First Appearance 3 Years Ago: The Voice That Rallied a Galaxy
Three years ago today, a single voice echoed through the halls of an Imperial prison—and changed Star Wars forever. On October 26, 2022, Andor introduced us to Kino Loy, the no-nonsense floor manager of the Narkina 5 labor facility, played with fierce humanity by Andy Serkis. He wasn’t a Jedi, a smuggler, or a rebel leader. He was just a man trapped in the machine—until he found the courage to fight it. The Reluctant Leader of Narkina 5 When Kino Loy first appeared in Episode 8 of Andor (“Narkina 5”), he seemed like another cog in the Empire’s cruel system. His job was to keep prisoners productive and quiet. But beneath the surface, there was more than discipline—there was fear. Kino embodied the survival mindset of someone crushed by oppression. He believed in following orders because that was the only way to stay alive. But as Cassian Andor began chipping…
