Star Wars: Unlimited is heading into its biggest competitive weekend of the year, and the card market is already doing what card markets do best. Getting weird. The 2026 Galactic Championship runs July 24–26 in Las Vegas, giving Star Wars: Unlimited its largest event stage of the year. The official event site describes it as the game’s biggest event, with more than 3,000 fans expected across competition, panels, trading, side events, and prize hunting. And now, with championship week here, players are watching Showcase card prices for clues. The Market Is Watching the Meta A recent community post on the Star Wars: Unlimited subreddit pointed directly at the timing: “It’s Galactic Championship week,” with Showcase price movement potentially offering hints about the decks players expect to see at the event. That does not mean prices perfectly predict the tournament. They do not. Card markets are powered by demand, speculation, collector…

SWTOR’s Pirate Incursion Returns Tomorrow, So Dantooine Is About to Be Annoying Again
Dantooine is about to have another completely normal week. Which, in Star Wars: The Old Republic, means pirates, sabotage, daily missions, reputation grinding, and players once again asking why this supposedly quiet farming world keeps getting dragged into galactic nonsense. Pirate Incursion returns on July 21, 2026 and runs until July 28, according to SWTOR’s official July event schedule. The event is available for characters level 20 and above, so it is a pretty easy excuse to jump back in, even if your main has been abandoned on the fleet like a sad decoration. The Nova Blades Are Back Pirate Incursion sends players back to Dantooine, where the Nova Blade pirates are causing trouble during the ongoing Republic and Empire conflict. The event originally arrived with Game Update 5.10.3: The Dantooine Incursion, turning the planet into a compact conflict zone full of daily missions, Heroics, reputation rewards, and the usual…
SWTOR Galactic Season 10 Is Almost Over, So Finish the Syndicate Before It Vanishes
SWTOR players are running out of time to clean up their Galactic Season 10 business. Broadsword has confirmed that Galactic Season 10: “Secrets of the Syndicate” is drawing to a close toward the end of July, with Galactic Season 11: “Light and Shadow” coming next. Executive Producer Keith Kanneg warned players in the Q2 2026 Producer Letter to grab remaining rewards before they disappear, which is MMO language for “you had months, please stop pretending this is a surprise.” So yes, it is checklist season. Again. Secrets of the Syndicate Is Nearly Done Galactic Season 10 launched with Game Update 7.8.1, bringing back older reward themes from previous seasons while adding new goals and rewards into the current seasonal track. The official SWTOR objectives page confirms that the final listed Season 10 objectives run from July 7 through July 27, with players able to complete 7 of 11 weekly objectives…
D23 2026 Schedule Revealed, and Star Wars Fans Should Probably Watch the Gaps
Disney has revealed the programming lineup for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026, and Star Wars is definitely present. Just maybe not in the giant “everyone stop what you’re doing, here comes the movie slate” way some people might be hoping for. D23 2026 takes place August 14–16 in Anaheim, California, with major showcases at the Honda Center and a full spread of panels, presentations, concerts, screenings, and fan events across the Anaheim Convention Center. Disney says the weekend will include more than 50 panels and programming across five stages, covering film, television, parks, publishing, music, games, collectibles, and more. For Star Wars fans, the most obvious headline is a LEGO Star Wars Screening Event, described as a special screening of an all-new animated LEGO Star Wars adventure featuring familiar characters, laughs, and action. Disney says more details are still to come. So yes, LEGO Star Wars is on…
SWTOR Galactic Seasons Objectives for July 7–27: What’s Worth Doing First
SWTOR has updated its Galactic Seasons 10: Secrets of the Syndicate objectives for July 7–27, which means it is time for the usual weekly calculation: What is actually worth doing, and what should be left alone unless you enjoy pain? Broadsword’s latest objective list covers Week 18, Week 19, and Week 20, with each week asking players to complete any 7 out of 11 weekly objectives. The daily objective remains familiar: earn 25,000 Personal Conquest Points across your Legacy. The bigger question is how to spend your time without turning Galactic Seasons into a second job. Week 18: July 7–13 Week 18 is a decent week if you like straightforward activity. The easy picks are Venture Across the Galaxy, which asks for 200,000 Personal Conquest Points with PH4-LNX as your companion, and Know When to Hold Em, which has you defeat enemies with PH4-LNX in a Tank role. Just remember…
SWTOR July 2026 Events Bring Back Gree Weirdness and Dantooine Pirates
July is not the loudest month Star Wars: The Old Republic has ever had, but it is at least giving players two reliable reasons to log in: strange ancient alien tech on Ilum and another round of pirate trouble on Dantooine. Broadsword has posted the official SWTOR in-game events for July 2026, and the month is built around two returning events: Relics of the Gree and Pirate Incursion. Both are familiar, both are still useful if you’re chasing reputation or cosmetics, and both are very SWTOR in the sense that one involves a mysterious super-advanced alien vessel and the other involves pirates making everyone’s day worse. Very on brand. Relics of the Gree Returns July 7 Relics of the Gree runs from July 7 to July 14, beginning and ending at 12:00 PM GMT. The event requires Level 50+ characters. This is the Ilum event, which means players are heading…
Star Wars: Unlimited Galactic Championship Collector Guide: Exclusive Cards, Prize Wall, and What to Chase
Star Wars: Unlimited is not just a card game anymore. Not really. At this point, it is also a collector ecosystem with promos, variants, event packs, prize walls, exclusive accessories, and the kind of limited-card anxiety that makes perfectly normal people start checking flight prices to Las Vegas. The Star Wars: Unlimited Galactic Championship 2026 runs July 24-26 in Las Vegas, and the official event site describes it as the game’s biggest annual event, bringing together more than 3,000 players who collect, connect, and compete across three days. That “collect” part is doing a lot of work. This Is More Than a Tournament The Galactic Championship is obviously built around competitive play. The main event is the culmination of a full season of Organized Play, with top players battling for the Galactic Champion title. There are also Premier Open and Eternal Open side tournaments, scheduled Draft, Sealed, Twin Suns, and…
SWTOR’s Nar Shaddaa Nightlife Returns June 30 With New Casino Rewards
SWTOR is opening the casino doors again. Nar Shaddaa Nightlife returns to Star Wars: The Old Republic on June 30 and runs until August 11, giving players another chance to test their luck at the Star Cluster and Club Vertica Casinos. The event begins and ends at 12:00 PM GMT, so do not blame Lady Luck if you show up late. The event is also returning to Mek-Sha, which is still one of the better ideas SWTOR has had for Nightlife. Nar Shaddaa has the classic casino energy, but Mek-Sha adds exactly the right amount of “this establishment may not be legally inspected” flavor. Perfect. New Rewards Are Coming to Nar Shaddaa Nightlife The big new rewards this year are two decorations: the Hazard Toss Table Decoration and the Card Shark Table Decoration. Both can be earned from the Emperor’s Grace and Emperor’s Grace Max Bet machines. That means stronghold…
SWTOR’s Next Galactic Seasons Week Is a Pretty Good Excuse to Log In
Sometimes Star Wars: The Old Republic does not need a massive update, a dramatic Sith prophecy, or a galaxy-shaking betrayal to pull players back in. Sometimes it just needs a weekly checklist that quietly says: “Go on. You know you want the Conquest points.” SWTOR’s Galactic Seasons 10, Secrets of the Syndicate, continues with Week 15 running from June 16 to June 22, and the latest objective list is actually a solid excuse to log in if your character has been parked in a stronghold pretending to be retired. According to the official SWTOR Galactic Seasons objectives post, Week 15 once again asks players to complete any 7 out of 11 weekly objectives, with the usual daily goal of earning 25,000 Personal Conquest Points across your Legacy. Altuur Zok Adon Gets the Spotlight This week’s companion-focused objective is built around Altuur zok Adon. Players can earn 200,000 Personal Conquest Points…
SWTOR’s Swoop Rally Is Back, and the Galaxy Desperately Needs the Stupidity
Not everything in Star Wars: The Old Republic needs to be about ancient Sith threats, galactic war, emotional betrayal, or Darth Malgus standing around like the galaxy’s angriest motivational poster. Sometimes, the game just needs speed, explosions, and people making terrible transportation choices for entertainment. Good news: The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally is back. According to the official SWTOR June 2026 in-game events schedule, the Swoop Rally runs from June 9 to June 16, beginning and ending at 12:00 PM GMT. The event is available for players level 20 and above, and sends swoop fans to Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon for one of the galaxy’s loudest excuses to ignore its many problems. What Is the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally? The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally is SWTOR’s big racing event, built around three swoop gangs: Horizon’s Razor, the Pit Screamers, and the Blatant Beks. Each gang brings its…
Galaxy of Heroes Extra Life Stream Shows the Holotable Can Still Do Good
Most Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes updates are about shards, kits, omicrons, datacrons, and the sacred art of wondering why your opponent somehow took twelve turns before you blinked. But the next SWGOH event is about something a little bigger than the holotable. Capital Games is teaming up with Extra Life for another charity stream, helping raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network. According to EA’s official announcement, the campaign has already raised $87,875 so far, with the next stream scheduled for June 11, 2026, from 2-4 PM PT. That is a pretty solid reminder that this community can do more than argue about turn order. Although, realistically, it will still do that too. Galaxy of Heroes Is Changing Its Extra Life Format The biggest change this year is the format. Instead of one giant marathon event, Capital Games says the 2026 Extra Life effort is…
SWTOR’s June 2026 Events Bring Swoop Racing and Rakghoul Panic
June in Star Wars: The Old Republic is giving players two very different reasons to log in: high-speed swoop chaos and a fresh outbreak of the Rakghoul plague. Broadsword has posted the official SWTOR in-game events for June 2026, confirming that the month will feature The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally and Rakghoul Resurgence on Corellia. So yes, June is basically engines first, plague later. The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally Returns The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally runs from June 9 to June 16, beginning and ending at 12:00PM GMT. Players need to be level 20 or higher to join in. The event sends swoop fans and riders across Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon for challenge courses, gang rivalries, big jumps, and the kind of reckless speed that would make any sensible insurance droid shut down immediately. Featured rewards include swoop rally mounts, swoop gang outfits, promotion droid mini-pets, stronghold…
SWTOR Bounty Contract Week Returns Next Week
The galaxy is about to reopen its most respectable excuse for legally questionable bounty hunting. Bounty Contract Week returns to Star Wars: The Old Republic from May 26 to June 2, giving players another chance to sign up with the Bounty Brokers Association and chase targets across the galaxy for credits, reputation, weapons, armor, mounts, and the warm inner glow of making someone else’s problem disappear. Professionally, of course. According to the official SWTOR May 2026 in-game events calendar, the event begins and ends at 12:00 PM GMT and is open to players at level 15 and above. Time to Dust Off the Contract List Bounty Contract Week is one of SWTOR’s most straightforward recurring events, and that is part of why it still works. You pick up contracts from the Bounty Brokers Association, track down your target, gather intel, confront the problem, and decide whether you want the job…
Battlefront II’s Battle Point Event Is Live, So Prepare for Chaos
Star Wars Battlefront II has pushed the big red chaos button again. The Battle Point Event is live, which means reinforcements cost less, more of them can flood the battlefield at once, and your average match now has a much higher chance of looking like a Clone Wars episode where the director lost control of the extras. Lower costs. More special units. Busier objectives. Louder everything. For a game that officially ended live-service support years ago, Battlefront II still has a funny habit of reminding everyone that it can absolutely still start a small war on your Friday. Cheaper Reinforcements, Messier Matches The current SWBF2 event calendar lists the Friday Battle Point Event as lowering Battle Point costs for reinforcements and increasing how many can be active at the same time. That sounds like a small rules tweak until you actually load into a match. Suddenly there are more clone…
On This Day: Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 Put Gaming Front and Center
There was a moment in 2016 when Star Wars gaming looked like it was absolutely everywhere. On May 17, 2016, StarWars.com announced that Star Wars video games would be coming to Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 in London — and not as a tiny side booth hidden somewhere near the emergency exit. The official announcement promised Star Wars Battlefront, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: Commander, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and Star Wars: Force Collection at the event. StarWars.com even called it the highest volume of gaming content in Celebration history. Ten years later, that line hits a little differently. A Very 2016 Star Wars Gaming Snapshot The lineup is almost a time capsule. Star Wars Battlefront was still the big modern console shooter, carrying EA’s first major post-Disney Star Wars gaming push. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens was turning the…
Star Wars Celebration 2027 Sold Out Fast — But Fans Are Not Happy About How It Happened
Star Wars Celebration 2027 is sold out. That part is official. The messier part is what happened on the way there. The official Star Wars Celebration ticket page now lists tickets as sold out for the Los Angeles event, which takes place April 1–4, 2027 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. That already made headlines, and we covered the sellout in our earlier piece on how Star Wars Celebration 2027 sold out ahead of the 50th anniversary year. But now the story has a second act: a lot of fans are not just disappointed they missed out. They are angry about the buying experience itself. The Queue Was Not With Everyone According to Gizmodo’s report on the ticket sale, many fans spent hours in the online queue only to come away empty-handed. That is the kind of convention heartbreak that hits differently when the event is tied to Star Wars’…
Grogu Café Is Opening in London, Because Star Wars Has Finally Weaponized Matcha
Grogu has already conquered toys, memes, Disney+ thumbnails, lunchboxes, plush shelves, and the emotional stability of anyone with functioning eyes. Now he is coming for London’s café scene. Disney UK has announced a limited-time Grogu Café pop-up in Shoreditch, opening from Friday, May 15 to Sunday, May 17, ahead of the cinema release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22, 2026. According to the official Disney UK press release, the pop-up will feature Grogu-inspired food, drinks, themed décor, photo moments, and merchandise. So yes, Star Wars has reached the “adorable alien matcha activation” phase. Honestly, it was only a matter of time. The Cutest Outpost in the Galaxy The café will be located at 1 Kingsland Road, Shoreditch, London, E2 8AA, with DisneyTickets describing it as a “matcha-fuelled experience” built around Grogu’s charm. Entry is free but ticketed, with food, drink, and products available to purchase on-site…
Star Wars Celebration 2027 Has Already Sold Out
Well, that did not take long. Star Wars Celebration 2027 has officially sold out, with the event’s own ticket page now stating that tickets are no longer available. The convention is set to take place April 1–4, 2027, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and it is already looking like one of the biggest Star Wars fan events in years. That should not be a huge surprise. Celebration 2027 is not just another convention stop. It lands during the franchise’s 50th anniversary year, with Star Wars heading back into a major theatrical moment, new shows and games in motion, and an extremely online fanbase that can apparently refresh ticket pages faster than a podracer with unpaid debts. A Sold-Out Celebration Before the Hype Really Starts The official Star Wars Celebration ticket page now says tickets are sold out, while the main Star Wars Celebration site thanks fans and tells them…
SWTOR Galactic Seasons Objectives: May 5 – June 8 — Week 9 Begins
The next batch of SWTOR Galactic Seasons 10 objectives is live, which means one thing: it is time to pretend your weekly plan is organized before Conquest points immediately turn it into spreadsheet archaeology. BioWare/Broadsword has posted the updated Galactic Seasons Objectives for May 5 through June 8, covering Weeks 9–13 of Galactic Seasons 10: Secrets of the Syndicate. The season began with Game Update 7.8.1, and this new objective block starts with Week 9: May 5–May 11. Week 9 Starts With Altuur, Conquest, and Coreward Worlds As usual, the daily objective is simple: Influencing the Galaxy, which asks players to earn 25,000 Personal Conquest Points across their Legacy. The weekly structure is also familiar: complete any 7 of 11 available objectives. For Week 9, the big companion objective is Recon Across the Galaxy, requiring 200,000 Personal Conquest Points with Altuur zok Adon as your companion. There is also Perseverance,…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Launches 2026 Extra Life Charity Events With New Donation Packs
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is turning the Holotables into something more useful than another argument about Omicrons: a charity push for children’s healthcare. Capital Games has kicked off its Extra Life Charity Events 2026, once again teaming with Extra Life and Children’s Miracle Network to raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital. The first stream was scheduled for May 1, 2026, from 3–5 PM PT on the Capital Games charity Twitch channel, with the campaign now shifting into a year-long format rather than one giant marathon. A Year-Long Charity Push, Not One Big Sprint This year’s big change is the format. Instead of building everything around one long fundraising event, Capital Games says the 2026 campaign will feature smaller, more casual streams throughout the year. That is probably a smart move. A single marathon can be fun, chaotic, and mildly dangerous to everyone’s sleep schedule, but a year-long series…
Star Wars Celebration LA 2027 Starts With a Very Strong Guest List
Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles 2027 has just fired its first proper hype shot. The first celebrity guests have officially been announced, and Lucasfilm is not starting small. Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Dee Bradley Baker, and Michelle Ang are all heading to Los Angeles next year, giving the event an immediate mix of Skywalker Saga royalty and Lucasfilm Animation favorites. The announcement was confirmed on StarWars.com’s Celebration LA 2027 guest reveal. Anakin, Palpatine, and C-3PO Lead the First Wave The live-action side of the first guest wave is stacked. Hayden Christensen returns to Celebration as one of the franchise’s biggest modern fan-favorites, thanks to his run as Anakin Skywalker in the prequels and his later returns in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. Then there is Ian McDiarmid, which means the Emperor himself will be in attendance. Few Star Wars actors can weaponize a smile quite like McDiarmid, and yes,…
The London Symphony Orchestra Is Bringing Star Wars Home in 2027
Some Star Wars events sound cool. This one sounds dangerous for anyone who gets emotional the second that opening crawl hits. London’s Royal Albert Hall has announced its first ever Star Wars in Concert Weekender, bringing the original trilogy to the venue across four days in spring 2027. Even better: the scores will be performed live by the London Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra forever tied to the sound of Star Wars itself. The event runs from April 29 to May 2, 2027, with two screenings each of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. (Royal Albert Hall) The Original Trilogy, Live The weekender will feature full film screenings while the LSO performs John Williams’ legendary scores live in the hall. The current schedule includes: A New Hope in Concert from April 29 to May 1The Empire Strikes Back in Concert from April 30 to May…
London Film and Comic Con 2026 Has Been Cancelled
A major UK fan event just dropped off the calendar. London Film and Comic Con 2026 has been cancelled, according to reporting from Fantha Tracks, which says there will be no 2026 edition of the long-running convention. The same outlet notes that guests who had already been announced for the 2026 show are now being shifted toward other Showmasters events instead. That is a pretty significant blow for convention fans, especially with LFCC usually sitting as one of the bigger annual genre gatherings in the UK. The cancellation is notable because other Showmasters events are still moving What makes this more interesting is that this does not look like a full stop for Showmasters activity in 2026. Fantha Tracks had already been covering London Comic Con Spring 2026 at Olympia earlier this year, including multiple guest announcements, and those posts explicitly referenced the return of that event after the cancellation…
Looking Back at Every Star Wars Celebration Ahead of 2027 Ticket Sales
With Star Wars Celebration 2027 tickets going on sale on May 6, this feels like the perfect time to look backward before the fandom charges forward again. We already know the next Celebration is going to be a big one. The event heads to Los Angeles in 2027, and with ticket sales around the corner, the usual mix of excitement, planning, badge stress, hotel panic, and “should we actually do this?” energy is starting to kick in. If you missed the latest update on badge pricing and the on-sale date, we already broke that down in our guide to Star Wars Celebration 2027 tickets, prices, and the May 6 on-sale date. But before everyone starts refreshing ticket pages and wrecking their budgets, it is worth taking a step back and remembering just how long and strange the road to Celebration 2027 has actually been. This article is also built around…
