Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just dropped its latest update, and this one’s got everything: a live raid event, new farmable characters, key Hondo Ohnaka requirements, and some long-overdue bug fixes. It’s the kind of patch that keeps the holotables fresh—and maybe a little deadlier. Let’s dig into the June 25, 2025 update. 🚨 Order 66 Raid is Live If you’ve ever wanted to relive the darkest hour of the Republic—with a little less tragedy and a lot more strategic fun—the Order 66 Raid is now fully active. Expect iconic battles, cinematic boss phases, and a moral gray zone so deep it could be a Sith temple.

How Much Money Does Star Wars: The Old Republic Make Each Day, Month, and Year?
Star Wars: The Old Republic (often abbreviated as SWTOR) has quietly become one of the biggest success stories in the MMO galaxy. This story-driven MMORPG by BioWare launched in late 2011 with a blockbuster budget and high expectations. Years later, many players still adventure in its galaxy far, far away – and that loyal player base translates into a significant revenue stream for the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts (EA). But just how much money does SWTOR actually pull in on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis? Let’s crunch the numbers (in credits, of course) and break it down. SWTOR’s Lifetime Revenue Milestone SWTOR may not dominate headlines like it used to, but financially it’s performed impressively over the long haul. In fact, by late 2019 EA announced that Star Wars: The Old Republic was “closing in on $1 billion in lifetime revenue” (1). Believe it or not, this eleven-year-old online…
Captain Ithano: The Crimson Corsair Unmasked
If you’re into Star Wars, esports, and the thrill of betting or casino culture, Captain Ithano—or Sidon Ithano, the enigmatic Crimson Corsair—is your next obsession. While he sails the Outer Rim, battling Separatist droids and rival pirates, his story has parallels with risk-taking in MOBA drafts, underdog bets, and high-stakes gambles. Let’s chart his course. Who Is Captain Ithano? The Pirate Legend Sidon Ithano is that red-masked Delphidian pirate we glimpse at Maz Kanata’s castle in The Force Awakens. Nicknamed the “Crimson Corsair,” he captains the Meson Martinet—a space pirate ship feared across the Outer Rim. His silent swagger and signature mask have made him a cult favorite; some even say his silhouette is as recognizable as a pro esports player’s iconic pose. Lore Deep Dive: From Clone Wars Ruins to Exegol The Lost Treasure Run In the short story “The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku,”…
How Old Is Ezra Bridger? Tracking the Ghost Crew’s Young Jedi Through the Galaxy
In a galaxy filled with Jedi, Sith, clones, Mandalorians, and the occasional space whale, Star Wars Rebels introduced us to a new kind of hero—Ezra Bridger. He wasn’t born into royalty, prophecy, or midi-chlorian privilege. Nope. Ezra was just a scrappy street kid from Lothal with a sharp tongue and a stronger connection to the Force than he realized. Over the years, he’s gone from thief to Jedi-in-training to straight-up galactic myth. But let’s answer the question fans keep Googling: How old is Ezra Bridger? Who Is Ezra Bridger? Before we dig into the math, let’s do a quick character refresher. Ezra Bridger first appears in Star Wars Rebels, a series set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. He starts off as a Force-sensitive orphan with a bit of an attitude problem (think space Aladdin), and over time becomes a key player in the early days of…
How Old Is Cad Bane? Unmasking the Age of Star Wars’ Most Ruthless Bounty Hunter
In a galaxy not so far away (depending on your local hyperspace lane), one name continues to strike fear into the hearts of fugitives and fans alike—Cad Bane. Known for his signature wide-brimmed hat, glowing red eyes, and zero-chill attitude, Cad Bane is Star Wars’ answer to the space-western gunslinger archetype. But while his marksmanship and mechanical breathing are legendary, fans have often wondered one burning question: How old is Cad Bane? Let’s aim for the truth (without getting stunned), and explore his age, origins, and how this Duros kept his boots walking and blasters firing through decades of galactic chaos. Who Is Cad Bane? Before we tackle “How old is Cad Bane?”, it’s important to remember who we’re talking about here. Cad Bane is a Duros bounty hunter who first made his explosive debut in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. A master of ambushes, double-crosses, and wearing a hat…
Rey’s New Jedi Order Is Taking a Time-Out
So, the Star Wars universe just hit pause on New Jedi Order. Daisy Ridley is still in play as Rey, and Sharmeen Obaid‑Chinoy’s directing gig isn’t canned—it’s more like a strategic intermission. Word on the street (thanks to Daniel Richtman) is that Lucasfilm is pivoting to fresh projects from Shawn Levy and James Mangold first. And with no official writer replacing Steven Knight yet, the script is still… cooking. Ridley herself emphasizes quality over speed. Having seen early drafts from George Nolfi, she’s onboard—but she’d prefer a killer script over a rushed release. So the film is alive, just not breathing yet. James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi Surges Forward Meanwhile, Mangold’s working on something big. He’s teamed up with Beau Willimon (Andor) to pen a script set 25,000 years before Episode I—the Dawn of the Jedi. Think epic origins, exploring where the Force came from and who first wielded it, with a…
5 Years Since Star Wars: Squadrons Gameplay Was Unveiled — Let’s Talk Cockpit Nostalgia
Five years ago today—June 18, 2020—Star Wars: Squadrons gameplay was officially revealed to the galaxy. And for a moment, every flight sim junkie, X-Wing enthusiast, and keyboard ace with a joystick in storage collectively lost their minds. It wasn’t just nostalgia. It was rebellion with a targeting computer, chaos in full 5v5 glory, and cockpits so detailed you could practically smell the Y-Wing fuel cells. The Reveal That Rocked the Holo-Net The gameplay premiere showed us more than just ships blasting each other to bits. It gave us: In short: it wasn’t Battlefront. It was a laser-focused experience for players who always wanted to pilot their own TIE Fighter without the arcade noise. It was X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter reborn for the modern age—minus the 90s pixel blur. A New Kind of Star Wars Combat While most Star Wars titles rely on saber duels or blaster spam, Squadrons aimed at…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-18-2025 — Bug Fixes, Hoth Cleanup, and Pao’s Clone Crisis
The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update on June 18, 2025, doesn’t come with shiny new characters or game modes, but it does pack in a much-needed cleanup across the galaxy—especially for anyone who’s been yelling into their holotable about Hoth platoons or Pao’s sudden ability to clone himself like he’s auditioning for a Kaminoan commercial. Here’s what went down in this latest bug-squashing blitz. Pao’s Platoon Paradox: Solved Pao may be tough, but he’s not omnipresent. A bug was forcing players to deploy him in multiple places during Phase 6 of the Hoth Planet Territory Battle, which—unless you’re channeling Palpatine-level dark science—is just not canon. Fix Summary: So, your roster juggling just got a little less maddening. It’s about time. “Legacy of the Sages”: Now 60% More Readable Let’s be honest—some ability descriptions in Galaxy of Heroes read like ancient Jedi scrolls translated by a malfunctioning protocol droid. Thankfully,…
Pride Across the Stars: SWG Legends Throws a Galactic Bash on Lok
Time to stash your blasters, grease up your droids, and get your glam on—because the SWG Legends Pride Party 2025 is hyperdriving into Stormforge Outpost on Lok. This isn’t just another cantina night. This is the most fabulous, community-driven celebration in the galaxy, where identity shines brighter than a twin-sunned Tatooine morning. Kicking Off With Style: Entertainers, Beats & Comlink Buzz Before the official launch, entertainers from every corner of the galaxy will be warming up the crowd with live music, dance emotes, and the kind of ambiance you wish Mos Eisley had.

A Galactic Welcome and the First Mission Briefing Once the show officially starts, event organizers will offer a short mission brief: where to dance, how to win prizes, and which comlink channel to keep…
Kathleen Kennedy Is Plotting a New Star Wars Strategy — And It Might Just Work
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has never been afraid to stir the pot in the galaxy far, far away. Her latest comment? A tease that’s caught the hyperspace lane of every Star Wars watcher: more standalone films like the upcoming Starfighter could be on the way. So yes, while the Skywalker saga may be retired (again), and Disney+ is drowning in Jedi side quests and bounty hunter brooding, it looks like Lucasfilm is preparing to take more creative risks on the big screen — and it might actually be the most strategic move they’ve made since reviving Darth Maul’s legs. What Did Kathleen Kennedy Say? In a recent interview, Kennedy praised the creative potential of Starfighter — a film still shrouded in mystery, but reportedly more character-focused, intimate, and unburdened by galactic prophecy. “It’s not just about trilogies anymore,” she said. “Standalone movies give us freedom to tell stories that don’t…
Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron Trilogy Review – High-Stakes Pilot Action (Spoilers)
(This review contains spoilers for Alphabet Squadron, Shadow Fall, and Victory’s Price.) The Alphabet Squadron Trilogy by Alexander Freed is not your typical sunny Star Wars adventure. It’s more like an intense starfighter tournament with life-or-death stakes – a trilogy that follows a ragtag group of New Republic pilots hunting down an elite Imperial TIE unit in the chaotic aftermath of Return of the Jedi. Think Rogue One’s grit meets Top Gun aerial action, with a dash of esports team drama and the suspense of a high-stakes Sabacc game thrown in. If that mix sounds wild, well, buckle up (and maybe grab a cocktail from Canto Bight’s casino for the nerves), because Alphabet Squadron, Shadow Fall, and Victory’s Price deliver an emotional rollercoaster at lightspeed. Get a copy of the books here What is Alphabet Squadron? (Overview) In the Star Wars galaxy’s post-Emperor era, Alphabet Squadron is a five-pilot team…
Marvel’s Boba Fett – Black, White & Red Brings Monochrome Mayhem to Star Wars
Boba Fett is back—again—and this time, he’s trading green armor for grayscale vengeance (well, mostly). Marvel just announced a new four-issue comic miniseries titled Star Wars: Boba Fett – Black, White & Red, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: stylish, violent, and unapologetically brutal. Debuting later this year, the series will deliver a rotating roster of writers and artists, each crafting standalone stories that showcase the galaxy’s most feared bounty hunter in sharp contrast—literally. If you’re into gritty visuals, high-stakes violence, and morally grey characters who shoot first and never ask questions, this is your bounty. What Is Boba Fett – Black, White & Red All About? Inspired by Marvel’s successful Black, White & Blood format used for characters like Wolverine, Darth Vader, and Deadpool, this new series applies the same graphic, minimalist aesthetic to Boba Fett’s world. It’s black-and-white storytelling with splashes of red—usually blood, blaster bolts, or…
On This Day in Battlefront: The Bespin Launch Trailer Dropped 9 Years Ago
Nine years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront took a stylish detour to the skies. The Bespin Launch Trailer for the 2015 reboot released on June 21, 2016, and it wasn’t just another expansion pack teaser—it was a swagger-filled love letter to one of the most iconic Star Wars locations of all time: Cloud City. Lando’s cape? Flowing. Dengar’s gruff voice? Growling. Lightsabers, TIE Fighters, carbon freezing chambers, and industrial corridors dripping in nostalgia and polish. This trailer didn’t just tease content. It reintroduced a map and mood that changed the way players approached Battlefront’s multiplayer chaos. Let’s revisit what made this launch trailer—and the Bespin DLC—a high-altitude highlight in the saga of Star Wars Battlefront. Welcome to Cloud City – No Sabacc Tables, But Plenty of Mayhem The Bespin DLC expanded Battlefront’s multiplayer with new maps, weapons, star cards, and two new heroes: Lando Calrissian and Dengar. And while the…
Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 – “Black” Is a Raw Look Into Stormtrooper PTSD
Every helmet hides a story, but in Star Wars: Visions Volume 3, the short titled “Black” dares to take that helmet off—figuratively and emotionally. In this stark, striking installment, a former Stormtrooper struggles with PTSD and the psychological wreckage of war, stepping into narrative territory that’s as heavy as Beskar and just as resilient. While Visions has always thrived on exploring fresh, culturally diverse interpretations of the galaxy far, far away, “Black” lands like a thermal detonator in your chest—quiet at first, but undeniably explosive. When the Armor Doesn’t Protect You: A Trooper’s Trauma Unmasked Forget everything you thought you knew about faceless soldiers. “Black” opens not with a firefight, but with silence—a broken trooper wandering through the ashes of his past. This isn’t about rebels and empires. It’s about guilt, grief, and grappling with the reality that following orders doesn’t erase accountability. The animation is minimalist yet emotionally devastating….
The Mouse vs. the Machine: Disney Goes After Midjourney for AI Star Wars Art
In a plot twist straight out of The Mandalorian, Disney has officially filed a lawsuit against AI art generator Midjourney for—brace yourself—creating and distributing unlicensed Star Wars content. Yep, turns out generating a sexy Sith Lord or a bootleg Baby Yoda isn’t exactly on Mickey’s list of approved use cases. While most lightsaber duels stay in a galaxy far, far away, this one is headed straight for the courtroom. Let’s break down how this all started, why it matters, and what it means for creators, copyright holders, and yes—even gamblers and gamers watching this play out like the final round of a high-stakes poker game on Canto Bight. Why Is Disney Suing Midjourney? Because someone finally said, “Wait… are we letting AI remix Luke Skywalker without a license?” Disney, ever protective of its intellectual property empire (and for good reason), is accusing Midjourney of facilitating the creation and distribution of…

Comedy legend Mel Brooks is producing and reprising his roles as Yogurt and President Skroob, Rick Moranis is stepping back into the infamous oversized helmet of Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman returns as Lone Starr. The Schwartz is real—and it’s back for a sequel nearly four decades in the making. A Joke Turned Reality: Spaceballs 2 Is Really Happening What started as a punchline—“Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money”—has become a legitimate movie project. The long-teased sequel to the beloved 1987 sci-fi parody has officially entered development. Mel Brooks is once again involved creatively, ensuring the comedy will retain its original chaotic genius, satire, and irreverent charm. While Brooks hasn’t revealed whether this new entry will stick with the original subtitle, you can bet the movie will still mock…
Jedi Master Mace Windu Blasts Into Galaxy of Heroes – Legendary Kit Reveal and Meta-Shaking Power
It’s official—he’s back, he’s purple, and he’s still not giving Anakin the rank of Master. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just dropped one of the most powerful character kits yet with Jedi Master Mace Windu, now available via a Journey Guide Legendary event. Whether you’re building your next raid-dominating Jedi squad or just want to swing a purple lightsaber with devastating force, this version of Mace Windu brings mechanics that hit like a grav-sledge to the meta. Who Is Jedi Master Mace Windu in SWGOH? Let’s not sugarcoat it—this is the version of Mace we’ve been waiting for. Based on his iconic scenes from Revenge of the Sith, The Clone Wars, and even deep cuts like the Glass Abyss novel, this Mace isn’t just a leader—he’s a battlefield Solver, Hammer of Ryloth, and walking Investigation mechanic. He’s a Light Side Attacker with team-wide synergy, battlefield control, and a deep rework…
Depa Billaba Joins the Fight in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Light Side Reinforcements Just Got Real
If you thought your Jedi roster in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes was looking a little too calm and composed, it’s time to stir things up. EA has officially dropped the kit reveal for Depa Billaba, a fierce Light Side Attacker with serious synergy, especially if you’re assembling the newly minted Jedi Vanguard team. And yes, she’s bringing both Vaapad and vibes. Jedi Vanguard’s Final Piece: Who Is Depa Billaba? In lore terms, Depa Billaba is no rookie. Once a Padawan of Mace Windu and later the mentor to Caleb Dume (Kanan Jarrus), she’s had her share of epic highs and heartbreaking lows. She also went full “last stand” in The Bad Batch, so if you know, you know. Now in Galaxy of Heroes, she slices her way into the Light Side ranks with a kit that’s all about counterattacks, Shatterpoint synergy, and Jedi drama. She’s not just another lightsaber-swinger….

Fortnite: Death Star Sabotage – A Full Breakdown of the Galactic Live Event
On June 7, 2025, Fortnite pulled off another blockbuster crossover with its Death Star Sabotage live event, closing out the Galactic Battle season in explosive Star Wars style. If you’ve ever wanted to dogfight in space, sneak into the heart of the Empire, and take on Emperor Palpatine — all while dodging blaster fire with your squad — this was your moment.

On This Day in Battlefront History: The Star Wars Battlefront Official Trailer Dropped 11 Years Ago at E3
Eleven years ago today, the galaxy held its collective breath as Star Wars Battlefront made its triumphant return with an official trailer at EA’s E3 2014 conference. And just like that, everything changed. The moment was electric. For the first time in a long while, players got a glimpse of next-gen Stormtroopers marching across Hoth, X-wings screaming over Sullust, and the distant hum of lightsabers promising galactic-scale PvP madness. It wasn’t just a trailer — it was a full-blown resurrection of a legendary series. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and revisit the trailer that reignited an empire. 🎥 The Trailer That Launched a Million Hyperspace Jumps The Battlefront trailer dropped like a thermal detonator in a cantina. Set against a cinematic recreation of the Galactic Civil War, the footage showed off ultra-detailed environments, photorealistic troopers, and iconic Star Wars battles rendered in DICE’s powerful Frostbite engine. From AT-ATs…
Seven Years Ago Today: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Was Officially Announced at EA Play
It’s been seven years since Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was first announced at EA Play in 2018 — and yes, that makes some of us feel like we’ve aged as much as Obi-Wan between trilogies. What started as a casual tease from Respawn Entertainment during a mid-stream interview quickly snowballed into one of the most beloved Star Wars games in modern memory. Hard to believe it’s already been that long, but here we are — lightsabers still glowing, BD-1 still adorable, and the gaming galaxy still grateful for that one time EA didn’t open with loot boxes. Let’s revisit that iconic moment and explore why this announcement is still worth celebrating in 2025. 🛸 A Surprise Reveal Worthy of a Jedi Mind Trick The way Jedi: Fallen Order was announced was… unconventional, to say the least. No flashy trailer. No orchestra. No dramatic cut to Vader breathing. Instead, we…
Star Wars Battlefront II Update Fixes Error Code 721 — Finally, a Stable Connection to the Galaxy
After years of players mashing the “Retry” button like it was a QTE on Mustafar, Star Wars Battlefront II has finally fixed Error Code: 721 — the infamous message that turned online matchmaking into a Sith trial. If you’ve ever tried logging in, only to be greeted with “Failed to connect to the EA Servers,” you already know the struggle. But as of this week, a new update has resolved the issue, and galactic peace (or at least stable matchmaking) has been restored. 🛠️ What Is Error Code 721 in Battlefront 2? In technical terms, Error 721 is what happens when your game refuses to connect to EA’s online services. In emotional terms, it’s the equivalent of Darth Vader Force-choking your internet connection. For some players, this meant retrying the login screen five, ten, or twenty times before finally loading into a match — if they were lucky. It affected…
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #5 – Comic Book Preview Breakdown
It’s not every day you get to see a Sith throne made of jagged obsidian and daddy issues, but Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Adaptation #5 delivers all that and a duel’s worth of drama. Marvel’s final installment in this adaptation series is here, and it’s going out with a lightsaber swing, Palpatine’s creepy monologues, and enough cosmic lightning to fry a Star Destroyer.
