Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH) is no stranger to excitement, strategy, and yes, the occasional hiccup. This time, it’s about the Finalizer LSB bundle and the elusive Coaxium—a resource so valuable it’s named after the fuel that powers the galaxy’s fastest ships. If you’ve been affected by this issue, fear not! Developers are here with a “make good” plan to set things right. Let’s break it all down. What Happened with the Finalizer LSB Bundle? If you’ve been cruising through hyperspace, you might’ve noticed a glitch in the system. Players who purchased the Finalizer LSB bundle recently found themselves short on Coaxium. For the uninitiated, Coaxium is crucial for progressing through the Kessel Run, an event that’s as iconic in SWGOH as Han Solo’s legendary 12-parsec boast. The issue? No Coaxium for bundle buyers. Not exactly what you’d hope for after dropping your hard-earned crystals. The Developers’ “Make Good”…

It’s hard to believe, but Star Wars: Rogue One hit theaters eight years ago today.
