Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: Zuckuss Joins the Hunt
The Bounty Hunters just got a major upgrade. The Force-sensitive tracker Zuckuss is joining Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes as a new Dark Side Tank, Leader, and Unaligned Force User, bringing fresh synergy, survivability, and foresight mechanics that shake up the Bounty Hunter meta. His arrival in the game’s latest Marquee Event starts on November 4th at 11 a.m. Pacific, and fans of classic Star Wars lore are already buzzing. A Findsman Enters the Fight Zuckuss isn’t your average mercenary. In Star Wars lore, he’s a Gand Findsman, part of an ancient order of Force-sensitive bounty hunters who use ritual and foresight to track their prey across the stars. That mystical tracking ability directly inspires his new in-game mechanics — specifically his use of the Foresight buff, which he wields both defensively and offensively. This version of Zuckuss works best as a Leader, offering massive survivability and protection recovery to…

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Video Game Was Released on This Day in 2002!

Fifteen years ago today—October 26, 2010—the galaxy trembled once more as Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II hit store shelves. It was the sequel to one of the most ambitious Star Wars video games ever made, and it brought back the one man powerful enough to challenge Darth Vader himself: Starkiller.
