Galaxy of Heroes promotional image showing Cinta Kaz as a Light Side character now available in the game

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.

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.

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.

Andor wins Rotten Tomatoes Golden Tomato award for best television series of 2025 banner

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.

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…
