Rotta the Hutt should probably not make sense as a Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes unit. He was introduced as Jabba’s kidnapped child in The Clone Wars, spent years as a trivia answer with slime, and somehow now arrives on the Holotables as a Light Side Leader, Attacker, and Hutt Cartel character. That sounds ridiculous. Which means, naturally, his kit is actually kind of interesting. EA’s official Rotta the Hutt kit reveal frames him as no longer the helpless child from the Clone Wars era. This is an older Rotta, built around spectacle, raw power, and arena-brawler energy. The important design note is that Rotta can lead the Hutt Cartel, but he is also designed to fight alone. So yes, this is a Hutt Cartel character with solo gladiator potential. Welcome to Galaxy of Heroes. Please leave logic at the loading screen. Rotta’s Role: Leader, Attacker, Hutt Cartel Rotta’s tags…

Rotta the Hutt Has Arrived in Galaxy of Heroes, and Somehow He’s a Gladiator Now
Rotta the Hutt is back, and he is no longer just Jabba’s kidnapped baby from The Clone Wars. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has revealed Rotta as a new Light Side Leader, Attacker, and Hutt Cartel unit, and the whole thing is weird enough to work. EA’s official kit reveal frames him as older, tougher, and built around a gladiator-style identity rather than the helpless infant most players remember. (forums.ea.com) Yes, Light Side. Yes, Hutt Cartel. Yes, apparently we are doing arena-slug energy now. Rotta Is Not a Joke Unit The interesting part is that Rotta’s kit is not just a meme with stats attached. He is built around Bleed, Off Balance, Thermal Detonators, and Hutt Cartel synergy. His abilities can apply nasty debuffs, trigger Bleed stacks, detonate Thermal Detonators, and create the kind of ugly pressure that makes Holotable fights spiral fast. Which honestly feels right. Hutt Cartel teams…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 7-8-2026: GAC Moves, Partagaz Farms, and Grogu Gets a Fix
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has a smaller update today, but there are still a few changes worth catching before you jump back into the usual ritual of farming, gearing, losing patience, and pretending the next relic level is totally reasonable. The headline change is for Grand Arena Championship. GAC is being moved forward by one day for the Era rollover, and this is not a one-time schedule shuffle. According to the update notes, this is a permanent change going forward. Major Partagaz Is Now Farmable The biggest roster note is that Major Partagaz shards are now farmable from Light Side Battles 7-E Hard. That is good news for players working on their Andor-era collection or anyone who has been waiting for Partagaz to move out of the “nice character, annoying access” zone. Hard node farming is still the familiar slow grind, but at least now there is a clear…
Revenge of the Sith Event Returns to LEGO Star Wars: Castaways
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways is dipping back into the prequel well, which is usually a good place to go if you want lightsabers, dramatic robes, clone-era vehicles, and at least one character making a very bad life choice. The Revenge of the Sith-inspired “Sith Moves” event has returned to LEGO Star Wars: Castaways, giving players another limited-time shot at unlocking themed rewards. The event is live now and runs through July 31, with minifig parts for the character customiser, vehicles, and more up for grabs. It is not a massive new Star Wars game announcement, obviously. Nobody is pretending this is the next galaxy-shaking Lucasfilm Games reveal. But for Castaways players, this is the kind of returning event that actually makes sense. The game is already built around customising your own LEGO minifigure, hanging out in a social Star Wars space, jumping into simulations, and racing Microfighters. StarWars.com describes it…
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Launch Trailer Makes Monopoly Look Slightly More Dangerous Than Usual
Monopoly has always been a game about smiling politely while ruining someone’s evening. So yes, putting it inside Star Wars actually makes a bit too much sense. The new launch trailer for Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains gives Ubisoft’s digital board game another push, showing off its heroes-versus-villains setup, character powers, dice battles, team play, and 3D Star Wars locations. This is still Monopoly, obviously. You are still fighting over spaces, money, control, and the fragile remains of friendship. Only now Darth Vader may be involved. This Is Not Just Regular Monopoly With a Star Wars Skin That would have been the easy version. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is built around team-based play, where players choose heroes or villains and use character abilities to fight for control of the board. Ubisoft describes it as a dynamic, team-based twist on Monopoly set in the Star Wars galaxy, with…
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Is Out Now
The galaxy far, far away has entered the Monopoly board, which is probably terrible news for family peace, credit balances, and anyone who trusts a Sith Lord with property. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is out now and can be ordered here. bringing a new Star Wars twist to the classic board game. And yes, that means the galaxy has found yet another way to turn friendship into a negotiation crisis. This version of Monopoly takes the familiar property-trading formula and throws it into a heroes-versus-villains setup, with players choosing sides, building teams, and battling for control of the board with iconic Star Wars characters. So if normal Monopoly was not already dangerous enough, this one adds lightsabers, Force powers, and the possibility that Darth Vader now has opinions about rent. Star Wars Meets Monopoly, Because Apparently the Galaxy Needed More Conflict The idea is simple: classic Monopoly, but…
Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-29-2026 Fixes Krayt Dragon Textures, Rotta Materials, and Some Confused Clone Troopers
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has received a small update for June 29, 2026, and this one is very much a “clean up the strange stuff” patch. No giant new character reveal. No massive raid overhaul. No galactic economic disaster disguised as a balance change. Just a pink Krayt Dragon, a few text fixes, a Rotta the Hutt materials issue, and some Clone Troopers who apparently got very confused about which war they were supposed to be fighting. Honestly, that is still more entertaining than half the galaxy’s political speeches. The Krayt Dragon Is No Longer Pink The funniest fix in the update is probably the Krayt Dragon texture issue. According to the patch notes, the Krayt Dragon was showing a pink texture, which is exactly the kind of visual bug that sounds less like a terrifying desert monster and more like someone accidentally unlocked the “premium festival skin.” That…
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Turns 10 Today
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens released 10 years ago today, on June 28, 2016. Yes, somehow that is now a decade old. Please take a moment to let your bones turn into dust. Released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by TT Games, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens adapted the 2015 film into the familiar LEGO game formula: slapstick cutscenes, smashing everything for studs, playable characters, vehicle sections, and the kind of co-op chaos that has ended many peaceful living-room afternoons. But this one had a slightly strange job. It was not adapting a full trilogy. It was adapting one movie. One Movie, One LEGO Game, A Lot of Filling the Gaps Because The Force Awakens was the only sequel-era film available at the time, the game had to stretch a single movie into a full LEGO adventure. That meant extra missions, new dialogue, and bonus story…
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways Gives Players One Last Shot at Attack of the Clones Gear
LEGO Star Wars: Castaways is giving players one final shot at its Attack of the Clones-themed rewards. The limited-time event is in its last stretch, with players able to log in and play to unlock Episode II-inspired minifig parts for the character customiser, vehicles, and more. So if your LEGO avatar still needs a little Geonosis-era drip, this is probably not the week to forget Apple Arcade exists. And yes, that is a very specific kind of Star Wars problem. Attack of the Clones Works Weirdly Well in LEGO Form Attack of the Clones is one of those Star Wars eras that makes perfect sense as a LEGO event. Clone armor. Jedi robes. Separatist machinery. Republic vehicles. Geonosis arena chaos. Basically, it is a toy box wearing a prequel movie’s jacket. That fits Castaways nicely, because the game is not really trying to be another massive RPG, shooter, or lightsaber…
SWGOH Update 6-24-2026 Just Made Dedra Meero Farmable
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has dropped another small-but-annoyingly-important update, which means exactly one thing: Someone’s farming plan just got worse. The headline from the June 24, 2026 update is simple enough. Dedra Meero shards are now farmable from Dark Side Battles 8-E Hard. That is the kind of sentence that looks harmless until you remember how Galaxy of Heroes actually works. Nothing is ever just “farmable.” It is a new daily obligation, a new energy sink, and a fresh reason to stare at your roster while quietly negotiating with yourself. Do you need Dedra now? Probably. Do you have the energy? Of course not. This is the Holotable. Suffering is part of the interface. Dedra Meero Enters the Farm List Dedra Meero becoming farmable matters because she is one of those characters who feels perfectly built for Galaxy of Heroes: ruthless, efficient, unpleasantly competent, and exactly the kind of…
Leia (Jedi Training) Is Coming to Galaxy of Heroes, and Jedi Master Luke Just Got Interesting Again
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has revealed Leia (Jedi Training), and this is not just another “here is a familiar character, please open your crystal wallet” moment. Well, okay, it is still Galaxy of Heroes. The crystal wallet is always somewhere in the room, breathing heavily. But this kit is interesting because Leia (Jedi Training) is clearly designed to solve one of the game’s long-running roster problems: Jedi Master Luke Skywalker has needed a proper lifter for a while, and Capital Games appears to have handed him one with a lightsaber, Jedi Lessons, and absolutely no patience for slow battles. According to EA’s official kit reveal, Leia (Jedi Training) is a Light Side Attacker with the Jedi tag. More importantly, almost everything in her kit starts getting much nastier when Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is in the Leader slot. That is the headline. Not “new Leia.” “JML players, please sit…
Captain Carson Teva Has Joined Galaxy of Heroes, and the New Republic Finally Has Its Space Cop
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…
