There are many ways to bring order to the galaxy. A lightsaber helps. A Death Star definitely makes a statement, though HR may have questions. But sometimes, what you really need is Captain Carson Teva showing up in an X-wing, looking tired, suspicious, and absolutely done with everyone’s Outer Rim nonsense. The New Republic pilot has now arrived on the holotable in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, bringing another live-action era character into the game’s expanding New Republic lineup. And yes, he is exactly the kind of character who makes more sense in SWGOH than people might first think. Carson Teva Is Built Around Keeping the Peace EA’s official kit reveal describes Carson Teva as a Light Side Attacker with Constable, New Republic, and Rebel tags. More importantly, he is designed as a New Republic leader who turns his squad into a counterattack machine. That fits the character perfectly. Carson…

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Was Announced 11 Years Ago, and Somehow It Became the Mobile Game That Wouldn’t Die
On June 15, 2015, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes was announced to the world. At the time, it sounded like exactly the kind of thing Star Wars fans had learned to treat with cautious optimism and one eyebrow raised: a mobile collectible RPG built around assembling teams of heroes, villains, ships, factions, and deep-cut characters from across the galaxy. Eleven years later, the punchline is obvious. This thing did not just survive. It became one of the longest-running, strangest, most stubbornly successful Star Wars games ever made. Nobody Expected It to Last This Long Back in 2015, mobile Star Wars games did not exactly feel like guaranteed legacy material. Some were fun. Some were temporary. Some vanished into the same digital pit where old app-store games go to become trivia questions. Galaxy of Heroes could easily have been another one of those. Instead, it became a daily ritual for a…
Battlefront II’s Shattered Galaxy Delay Might Be Good News for Classic Battlefront Fans
Classic Star Wars Battlefront II fans will have to wait a little longer before charging into Shattered Galaxy’s next Clone Wars battlefield. The upcoming beta map Naboo: Ruined Valley has been moved to July 9, according to the latest update on the mod’s official ModDB page. It was previously being teased for June 18, but the release has now been pushed back while custom game modes are still being worked on. Annoying? Sure. A disaster? Not even close. The Map Is Not Being Scrapped The important detail is that Naboo: Ruined Valley does not sound like it is stuck in development hell. The update says the map layout is finished, along with the vanilla game modes. The delay is about finishing the custom modes. That is a very different kind of delay. This is not “we have no idea what we are doing.” This is more “the battlefield exists, but…
Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-10-2026 Makes Cinta Kaz Farmable and Fixes a Lot of Weird Kit Issues
The latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update is not the kind of patch that arrives with fireworks, a new Galactic Legend, and half the holotable screaming. But it does have something players always care about: a new farm, an accelerated character, and a surprisingly long list of fixes for abilities that were not behaving the way their descriptions promised. According to EA’s official Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-10-2026, the two headline items are simple: Depa Billaba is now accelerated, and Cinta Kaz shards are now farmable from Dark Side Battles 6-F Hard. For collectors and roster planners, that is the part that matters immediately. Cinta Kaz Is Now Farmable Cinta Kaz moving to Dark Side Battles 6-F Hard gives players a clear farming path instead of waiting around like a moisture farmer watching clouds do absolutely nothing. That is especially useful for players building around newer faction pieces and…
Galaxy of Heroes Feels Strangely Quiet While EA Star Wars Gets Loud Again
For years, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has been the indestructible little holotable machine in the corner. New console games came and went. Star Wars movies disappeared from theaters. Disney+ shows rose, argued with the internet, and vanished into season-gap limbo. But Galaxy of Heroes kept doing what it does best: adding characters, feeding collectors, creating squad puzzles, and reminding everyone that mobile Star Wars is not a side note. So why does it feel strangely quiet right now? Not dead. Not abandoned. Not “somebody check the pulse” quiet. Just quieter than the rest of EA’s Star Wars galaxy. Galaxy of Heroes Is Still Active To be clear, Galaxy of Heroes is still moving. The official Galaxy of Heroes news page lists the Era of The New Republic Kit Reveal from May 8, 2026 as its latest major news item, following earlier 2026 updates like the Era of Andor Kit…
Star Wars Battlefront II’s Shattered Galaxy Mod Is Keeping Classic Battlefront Alive
The original Star Wars Battlefront II refuses to die quietly. Nearly two decades after release, the 2005 classic still has one thing modern multiplayer games would kill for: a modding community that simply will not put the blaster down. The latest reminder comes from Shattered Galaxy, a fan-made Battlefront II mod that is now preparing a new Clone Wars beta map. According to the official ModDB announcement, Shattered Galaxy will release a beta map called Naboo: Ruined Valley on June 18. The creator says this will be the only beta map for Clone Wars Part-I before the full release, which is described as coming “very soon.” That is a small update on paper. For classic Battlefront fans, it is another reason to reinstall the game and pretend 2005 never ended. A New Naboo Map for Clone Wars Fans Naboo: Ruined Valley already sounds like the kind of map Battlefront II…
SWTOR 7.9a Is Small, But These Are Exactly the Fixes Players Notice
Not every Star Wars: The Old Republic update needs to arrive with a new planet, a cinematic betrayal, and Darth Malgus looking dramatically annoyed in the corner. Sometimes, a good patch is just the one that fixes the weird stuff players have been grumbling about for days. That is basically the story with SWTOR Game Update 7.9a. It is not a huge content drop. It is not trying to reinvent the galaxy. It is a small bug-fix patch following the launch of Game Update 7.9 “Legacy Reborn,” and honestly, those can be some of the most welcome updates in an MMO. Because when a map is broken, a raid interaction refuses to behave, or your character’s feet decide to vanish inside a pair of boots, nobody cares how epic the story is supposed to be. They just want the game to stop acting like a cursed holocron. What SWTOR 7.9a…
This Supermarket Together Mod Turns LEGO Star Wars Into Shelf Stock
Most Star Wars mods understand the obvious fantasy. Lightsabers. Blasters. Clones. Sith. Space battles. Darth Vader arriving to ruin everyone’s workday. This one understands a far stranger truth: Someone has to stock the shelves. A new Supermarket Together mod called Lego Star Wars 2014 – Custom Products adds 16 LEGO Star Wars sets from 2014 into the co-op supermarket management game. Created by AriZume, the mod turns classic LEGO Star Wars boxes into actual store products players can sell, price, arrange, and presumably panic about when customers start treating an Imperial Star Destroyer like an impulse purchase. That is not the usual Star Wars gaming fantasy. It might be funnier. LEGO Star Wars, but Make It Retail The mod includes a very specific wave of 2014 LEGO Star Wars products, ranging from smaller battle packs to bigger vehicles and ships. Among the included sets are Death Star Troopers, Kashyyyk Troopers,…
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways Brings Back Attack of the Clones Event
The Clone War has begun again, but this time with LEGO minifig parts and tiny vehicles. LEGO Star Wars: Castaways has brought back its Attack of the Clones event for a limited time, giving Apple Arcade players another chance to unlock themed rewards inspired by Episode II. The official LEGO Star Wars: Castaways account announced the event’s return with the very appropriate Yoda line: “Begun, the Clone War has.” Players can complete missions on The Island to progress through the event and earn character parts and microfighters inspired by Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. The event is available now and runs until June 30. A Small Event, but a Fun One This is not a giant console release or a big cinematic trailer, but it is exactly the kind of small Star Wars gaming update that keeps the galaxy feeling active between the larger announcements. Castaways has always had…
The Mandalorian and Grogu Is Expected to Hit Disney+ This Year
Din Djarin and Grogu may be heading back to where their modern Star Wars story began: Disney+. After its theatrical run, The Mandalorian and Grogu is now expected to arrive on Disney+ later this year, according to comments from Disney+ EMEA chief Karl Holmes reported by The Hollywood Reporter. There is no exact streaming date yet. No official “mark your calendar” announcement. No cute Grogu countdown button. But the message is clear enough: the movie is part of Disney+’s 2026 film pipeline. From Streaming Hit to Big-Screen Star Wars That is a neat little full-circle moment. The Mandalorian helped define Disney+ when the service launched in 2019. Grogu became a global pop culture gremlin almost overnight, Din Djarin became one of modern Star Wars’ most recognizable leads, and the series proved that Star Wars could work as premium streaming television. Then Lucasfilm did something bigger. Instead of simply making a…
Star Wars Battlefront Black Series 2-Pack Leaks With Scarif and Magma Troopers
Star Wars Battlefront may be getting a new Black Series nod, and collectors should probably start pretending they still have shelf space. A new leak points to an upcoming Star Wars: The Black Series Scarif Stormtrooper and Magma Stormtrooper 2-pack, reportedly tied to Star Wars Battlefront and expected to be a Walmart exclusive. For now, this is not an official Hasbro reveal. No preorder page, no glamour shots, no carefully staged fanstream moment. Just a leak doing what leaks do best: appearing early and making collectors refresh websites like nervous protocol droids. Battlefront Troopers Make Perfect Figure Material The choice of troopers makes sense. The Scarif Stormtrooper immediately brings Rogue One energy: beaches, bunkers, tropical Imperial arrogance, and the general feeling that the Empire built a beautiful data archive in the worst possible place. The Magma Stormtrooper, meanwhile, leans directly into the specialist-trooper fantasy that Battlefront loved so much. Harsh…
Two Years Ago Today, Star Wars: Hunters Entered the Arena
Two years ago today, Star Wars: Hunters finally stepped into the arena. On June 4, 2024, Zynga and Lucasfilm Games launched the free-to-play 4v4 competitive battle game on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. The official Star Wars: Hunters launch announcement invited players into the Grand Arena on Vespaara, where original characters fought for fame, glory, and probably a worrying amount of in-universe sponsorship money. It was a simple pitch with a very Star Wars twist: team-based arena combat, but with Wookiees, bounty hunters, stormtroopers, droids, dark side weirdos, and enough character gimmicks to make the whole thing feel like a Saturday morning Holonet broadcast with blasters. A Star Wars Game With Its Own Toy Box What made Hunters interesting was that it did not try to retell a movie. It did not ask players to be Luke, Vader, Rey, or Mando. Instead, it built a new cast around Star Wars…
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Delayed to June 30
The galaxy’s most dangerous property dispute has been pushed back a little. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains will now release on June 30, 2026, moving from its previously planned June 11 date. Ubisoft’s official Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains page now lists the new release date, while Gematsu has also reported the delay from June 11 to June 30. So no, this is not Battlefront 3. It is not Star Wars Jedi 3. It is not Eclipse finally crawling out of the unknown regions. It is Monopoly with lightsabers, team powers, and galactic real estate violence. And honestly, that is still news. Heroes, Villains, and Board Game Betrayal Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is Ubisoft and Behaviour Interactive’s digital Star Wars twist on the classic board game. Instead of simply moving a tiny metal shoe around a board and slowly destroying family relationships, players choose heroes or…
On This Day: Star Wars: Shatterpoint Turned Clone Wars Drama Into Tabletop Combat
On June 2, 2023, Star Wars: Shatterpoint launched with a very clear idea: Star Wars tabletop battles did not always need to be massive wars. Sometimes, they just needed Anakin, Ahsoka, Maul, Obi-Wan, clones, droids, and one extremely dramatic objective in the middle of the board. Atomic Mass Games describes Star Wars: Shatterpoint as a character-focused, fast-paced miniatures skirmish game built around high-stakes personal confrontations between iconic heroes and villains. That is the key difference. This was not trying to replace Star Wars: Legion as the big battlefield game. It was chasing a different fantasy: the close-up duel, the squad clash, the emotional fight where every move feels like a scene. Clone Wars Energy on the Table From the start, Shatterpoint leaned heavily into the Clone Wars era, which makes sense. That period is basically built for this kind of game. Anakin versus Dooku. Ahsoka surrounded by clones. Maul causing…
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways Brings Back Attack of the Clones Event
“Begun, the Clone War has.” Yes, Master Yoda is back on event-duty in LEGO Star Wars: Castaways, where the Attack of the Clones event has returned to The Island for another limited-time run. The official LEGO Star Wars: Castaways account confirmed that players can complete missions to progress through the event and earn character parts and microfighters inspired by Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones. That means more prequel-era LEGO chaos, more unlocks, and another reason to return to one of the stranger little corners of modern Star Wars gaming. The Clone War Returns to The Island LEGO Star Wars: Castaways has always been a slightly odd but charming experiment: part social hub, part action-adventure, part LEGO Star Wars toy box. Instead of simply retelling the films, it lets players build their own minifigure, explore The Island, meet other players, race microfighters, and jump into simulations inspired by…
Galaxy of Heroes Update Adds Vel Sartha Farming and Cleans Up Key Bugs
The latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update is not just another round of background maintenance. It ties together a busy New Republic-flavored week, adds a new farmable character shard location, and fixes a handful of bugs that were quietly making parts of the Holotable more annoying than intended. EA and Capital Games outlined the changes in the official Galaxy of Heroes Update 5-27-2026, with three major kit reveals leading the news section: Colonel Ward, Grogu & Anzellans, and Rotta the Hutt. That is a lot of tiny chaos, Hutt violence, and New Republic paperwork for one update. Three New Kit Reveals Lead the Update The headline news is the trio of new kit reveals, all of which point toward the current shape of Galaxy of Heroes: more New Republic synergy, more Grand Arena pressure, and more extremely specific Star Wars characters becoming surprisingly complicated tactical problems. We have already…
Colonel Ward Joins Galaxy of Heroes as a New Republic Punisher
The New Republic squad in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is getting another very specific kind of problem-solver: Colonel Ward, a Light Side Support unit built to expose enemies, punish bad targeting, and make counterattacks much nastier. EA and Capital Games have revealed the full kit for Colonel Ward in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, confirming her as a Light Side Support character in the New Republic faction. And she is clearly not here to stand in the back and politely cheer. Colonel Ward is designed to slot into the New Republic squad led by Captain Carson Teva, where her job is to make enemies pay for hiding, attacking the wrong targets, or trying to work around Taunt. A Support Unit Built Around Punishment Ward’s kit is all about pressure through debuffs. Her basic ability, A180 Blaster Pistol, deals Physical damage and inflicts Evasion Down. If it is Ward’s turn,…
Rotta the Hutt Is Coming to Galaxy of Heroes, and He’s Not a Baby Anymore
Rotta the Hutt is no longer just the kidnapped Huttlet from The Clone Wars. In Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, he has grown into a full arena bruiser, complete with axes, attitude, and a kit that looks designed to make Grand Arena players deeply uncomfortable. EA and Capital Games have officially revealed the full kit for Rotta the Hutt, confirming him as a Light Side Leader, Attacker, and Hutt Cartel unit. That combination is already unusual, but the real hook is even better: Rotta can lead the Hutt Cartel, but his kit clearly wants him to shine as a solo gladiator. This is not just Jabba’s kid all grown up. This is Rotta stepping into the arena and making the family business look almost subtle. Rotta the Hutt Is No Longer the Helpless Huttlet The official kit reveal frames Rotta as a character who has moved far beyond his Clone…
SWTOR Adds Age Verification for Players in Brazil
Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting a small but important account change for players in Brazil. According to the official SWTOR update, EA is working to comply with Brazil’s Digital ECA Law, which is affecting features and services across EA titles. That now includes SWTOR. Starting May 28, players located in Brazil who have not yet verified their age will be prompted to log in to their SWTOR account page and complete an age verification process. What Changes for Brazilian Players? The key part is simple: players in Brazil who do not meet the age requirements will not be able to play the game or make purchases through the SWTOR website. This follows a similar compliance pattern we saw with Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, where underage players in Brazil recently had chat disabled as part of a server update. SWTOR’s change is broader, because it affects access to…
Galaxy of Heroes Turns Grogu and the Anzellans Into Tactical Chaos
Grogu is officially back on the Holotables, and this time he brought mechanics, snacks, and what appears to be a small hovercraft full of bad decisions. EA and Capital Games have revealed the kit for Grogu & Anzellans, a new Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes unit inspired by Grogu’s recent adventures alongside the tiny droidsmiths. According to the official kit reveal on the EA Forums, the unit arrives as a Light Side Healer with Mandalorian, New Republic, and Unaligned Force User tags. So yes, this is not just “cute Grogu in vehicle” content. This is “cute Grogu in vehicle who may quietly ruin your enemy’s turn plan” content. A Healer With Annoying Little Teeth Grogu & Anzellans are built around healing, durability, debuffs, and New Republic synergy. The unit’s basic ability, Good Shot, Baby!, deals only 1 True damage, which sounds hilarious until the rest of the kit starts making…
Starfield Just Got the Mando and Grogu Crossover Bethesda Never Made
At this point, Starfield modders are not just adding Star Wars flavor. They are quietly building the galaxy Bethesda never officially gave us. The latest example is The Mandalorian and Grogu, a new Starfield mod by TheSniper9 that turns Bethesda’s space RPG into a much more familiar kind of sci-fi playground. The pack is built as a tie-in to The Mandalorian and Grogu, but it is not just a quick armor drop or a single cosmetic swap. This thing brings Din Djarin gear, Grogu as a follower, a questline, weapons, and even a new vehicle into Starfield. So yes, the modding community has once again looked at a game and said: “Nice universe. We’ll take it from here.” This Is More Than a Beskar Outfit The mod includes a Din Djarin Beskar Armor set, complete with Grogu hanging onto the left shoulder, plus Din’s Pre-Beskar Armor from the first episode…
Galaxy of Heroes Disables Chat for Underage Players in Brazil
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has received a small server update with one very specific purpose: legal compliance in Brazil. According to the official EA Forums update, underage players in Brazil, meaning players under 18, will now have chat disabled in-game. When they try to interact with chat, they will temporarily see the message: “This feature unlocks at Player Level 999.” No, that does not appear to be a real new level cap. It is just a very Galaxy of Heroes way of saying the feature is unavailable. A Small Patch With a Legal Reason There are no character changes, balance tweaks, new events, or surprise kit reworks in this update. EA says the change was made to remain compliant with Brazilian law. For most players outside Brazil, nothing changes. For younger Brazilian players, however, in-game chat will now be unavailable. That could affect guild communication for some players, though…
Star Wars’ Streaming Detour May Not Have Hurt the Franchise After All
For years, the big worry around Star Wars was simple: had Disney trained audiences to see the galaxy as a streaming franchise? After The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka, and several animated series, Star Wars had spent a long time living on Disney+. Good for subscription value. Good for weekly discourse. Good for Grogu GIFs. But maybe risky for theaters. Now The Mandalorian and Grogu has opened with around $165 million worldwide, and the early answer may be less dramatic than expected. Star Wars did not return to cinemas like The Force Awakens. But it also did not come crawling back with a broken hyperdrive and a note from accounting. As box office analyst David A. Gross told Variety: “For Star Wars not to be hurt in any obvious way by its long detour onto streaming is good news for the franchise.” That is the…
May 25 Is the Real Star Wars Day, and the Movies Prove It
May the 4th has the pun. May 25 has the receipts. Long before Star Wars Day became a hashtag, a merch wave, and the annual moment where every brand with a social media intern suddenly discovered lightsabers, May 25 was already the date that changed the galaxy. The original Star Wars arrived in theaters on May 25, 1977. Six years later, Return of the Jedi opened on May 25, 1983. That is not just trivia. That is the franchise’s cinematic birth certificate and the original trilogy’s victory lap landing on the same calendar square. So yes, May the 4th is fun. But May 25 is the day Star Wars actually became Star Wars. The Day the Galaxy Opened When the film now known as A New Hope first opened in 1977, it was not yet a sacred text, a streaming category, a theme park ecosystem, or a multi-generation licensing empire….
