Behind the Music of Star Wars Outlaws: Crafting the Soundtrack of the Galaxy’s Underworld
Behind the Music of Star Wars Outlaws: Crafting the Soundtrack of the Galaxy’s Underworld If there’s one thing the Star Wars universe consistently nails, it’s the music.

It’s update time in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and things just got a little… slicier. The April 3rd, 2025 forced client update didn’t just push players into the latest version—it also introduced a shiny new feature called “Slice-a-Bundle.” No, it’s not a cooking mini-game with Wookiees (although, that would be amazing).

🎨 Star Wars: Hunters Murals – A Bold Launch Before the Final Battle
In 2024, Star Wars: Hunters arrived with blaster fire, banter, and bold moves—literally.
