If you’ve been staring at your Temple Guard in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes wondering why he’s less “noble Jedi protector” and more “broken training droid,” you’re not alone. EA just dropped a much-needed hotfix on June 5, 2025, aimed at calming the unrest in the Force — or at least fixing a few inventory-related headaches. Let’s break down what happened, what’s fixed, and what it all means for your holotable strategy (and your digital sanity). 🚨 The Temple Guard FDC Drama: What Went Wrong? Here’s the short version: players were supposed to receive a Temple Guard FDC (Fully Developed Character) after meeting specific in-game conditions. But for many, that character came in slightly undercooked — as in, Level 0 undercooked. Imagine unboxing a rare Jedi Knight only to realize he forgot how to hold a lightsaber. That was basically the vibe. Naturally, chaos ensued. Forums were lit, Reddit was…

Super Star Wars Trilogy Anniversary: Blasters, Bosses, and Brutal Platforming Since 1992
Some anniversaries pass quietly. This one kicks down the door with a thermal detonator and demands a side-scrolling boss fight. On this day in gaming history, Super Star Wars (1992), Super Empire Strikes Back (1993), and Super Return of the Jedi (1994) each blasted their way onto the SNES in three consecutive years—setting the tone for what “hardcore Star Wars gaming” would look like for a generation. If you’ve ever jumped over a Sarlacc pit, rage-quit on a lava planet, or been blindsided by a Jawa wielding an unreasonable amount of screen presence—congrats, you were there. 🕹️ Super Star Wars (1992): Where Sandcrawlers Feel Like Death Traps Released in 1992, Super Star Wars took the events of A New Hope and turned them into a side-scrolling gauntlet of lasers, lava, and angry Tusken Raiders. You start off blasting womp rats as Luke Skywalker (pre-Jedi, obviously), then pick up Han and…
Upgrade Your LEGO Star Wars III Experience with PlayStation Button Prompts
Navigating the galaxy in LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a blast, but if you’re wielding a PlayStation controller and seeing Xbox prompts, the immersion can take a hit.

Respawn Developer Says Morale Is “At An All-Time Low” — What’s Going On?
When a developer known for delivering iconic titles like Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor starts using phrases like “morale is at an all-time low,” it’s usually not just hyperbole—it’s the digital equivalent of alarm bells going off. That’s exactly what happened when Respawn Entertainment developer “@witdarkstar” (Dan, a senior-level dev) posted on Bluesky, saying that the studio’s energy has hit rock bottom following a wave of Electronic Arts layoffs. The tweet, simple but striking, reads: “Genuinely think morale is at an all-time low.” Short. Grim. And packed with implications for one of the most creatively influential studios under the EA banner. EA Layoffs: A Galactic-Sized Blow? Electronic Arts, Respawn’s parent company, recently announced a new wave of layoffs as part of its restructuring strategy. These moves included canceling an unnamed Star Wars FPS and cutting back on future single-player content across various teams. The timing couldn’t be…
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Was Announced 3 Years Ago Today – Here’s Why That Teaser Still Hits
It’s been exactly three years since Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was officially announced, and yes—there was a teaser. And no, people have not stopped dissecting it frame by frame since.

Whether you first saw it while stress-refreshing your YouTube feed or stumbling across it mid-scroll, the announcement trailer for Jedi: Survivor hit differently. It wasn’t just a sequel reveal—it was a signal that Star Wars single-player storytelling was alive, well, and carrying a blue lightsaber. A Teaser Cloaked in Mystery (and a Whole Lot of Sand) When Respawn and EA dropped the teaser, expectations were already sky-high. Jedi: Fallen Order had set a new gold standard for narrative-driven Star Wars games, and everyone wanted to know…
LEGO Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars – Modern Overhaul Mod Brings the Game to the 2020s
Let’s be real—LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars was always a charming and surprisingly deep entry in the LEGO game saga. It had ambitious level design, full-on battles with armies of droids, and that classic LEGO humor baked into every cutscene. But over a decade later, some of that polish has started to wear off. The resolution feels fuzzy, lighting is a bit flat, and animations… well, they’ve aged like week-old blue milk. Enter the LSW3 Modern Overhaul Mod, a comprehensive visual and performance upgrade that reworks the entire game to feel, look, and play like a much more modern release. This isn’t just a texture swap or a lighting tweak—this is a full-on glow-up that keeps the game’s heart intact while bringing it up to speed with modern expectations. What Is the LSW3 Modern Overhaul Mod? The LSW3 Modern Overhaul Mod is a lovingly crafted update designed to…
Mayhem Management: Galaxy of Heroes Hotfix 5-22-2025 Arrives
It’s another day in the digital galaxy, which means another Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes hotfix has dropped—this time on May 22, 2025—and Scorch is officially back on protocol. Mostly. Sort of. This latest patch gives Scorch’s Unique Zeta ability a subtle-but-significant buff while tackling some tricky bugs that had the clone trooper eating more True Damage than a tauntaun in a Hoth snowstorm. It’s not a game-changer for everyone, but for those keeping an eye on GL meta balance and clone synergy, there’s a lot packed into this bite-sized update. Let’s dive into the update notes and see what got scorched. Scorch’s “Following Protocol” Zeta Just Got Meaner (But Smarter) The biggest headline from Hotfix 5-22-2025 is a Zeta upgrade for Scorch’s Following Protocol Unique ability. Here’s the new flavor text for the added Zeta effect: If there are no Galactic Legend enemies: At the start of each encounter,…
Six Years of Star Wars: Vader Immortal – Episode I: How a VR Sith Lord Changed the Galaxy
It’s Been Six Years Since Darth Vader Reached Out and Almost Force-Choked You in VR Time flies when you’re deflecting blaster bolts with a virtual lightsaber. Today marks six years since Star Wars: Vader Immortal – Episode I was released, and honestly? We’re still not over it. Back in May 2019, ILMxLAB dropped players straight into the boots of a smuggler with a mysterious Force-sensitive lineage, handed them a lightsaber, and let them meet Darth Vader—face to (terrifying) face. It was ambitious, cinematic, and for many, it was the moment that VR went from “cool tech demo” to “this is the future of Star Wars storytelling.” Let’s take a walk down Mustafar memory lane. The Birth of a VR Experiment That Actually Worked Let’s be real: not every VR experience hits the mark. But Vader Immortal was different. Instead of focusing on arcade gimmicks or wave shooters, Episode I set…
Star Wars Outlaws Hotfix 6.1: No More Vanishing Contracts or Glitchy Saves (Mostly)
Nothing disrupts the criminal underworld like a glitchy contract. Ubisoft just rolled out Hotfix 6.1 for Star Wars Outlaws, and while it’s not the flashiest update in the galaxy, it’s a much-needed patch for players tired of watching job offers mysteriously vanish or missions fail just because they dared to save the game. The nerve, right? If your galactic hustle’s been stalled by unreliable brokers and contracts that collapse faster than a stormtrooper’s aim under pressure, this update is aimed squarely at you. Let’s break it down. Contract Woes, Be Gone Hotfix 6.1 goes straight to the heart of a recurring issue: jobs offered by certain brokers would become mysteriously unavailable after a while. One minute you’re gearing up to smuggle spice or intercept a shady deal, the next… crickets. Ubisoft has now stabilized the system so these contracts don’t suddenly ghost you mid-playthrough. This should make the Outer Rim…
Star Wars Episode I: Racer – Celebrating the Podracing Classic That Still Holds the Throttle
Back in 1999, a little thing called Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace hit theaters. Among the many things it brought to the Star Wars universe—like double-bladed lightsabers and midichlorians—was one particularly thrilling scene: the podrace on Tatooine. If you watched that and thought, I need to do that… minus the risk of fiery explosions, then Star Wars Episode I: Racer was your ticket to speed. Released on this day in 1999, Star Wars Episode I: Racer threw players right into the pilot seat of Anakin Skywalker’s podracer, letting them blast through the canyons of Tatooine, dodge asteroids on Ando Prime, and squeeze through the narrow tubes of Oovo IV. It was blisteringly fast, occasionally frustrating, and absolutely iconic. The Fastest Game in the Galaxy Back in the late ’90s, the idea of racing at 600 miles per hour through desert canyons wasn’t just ambitious—it was practically ludicrous….

SWGOH Scorch Kit Reveal – Abilities, Strategy, and Synergies
When it comes to explosive gameplay, RC-1262, better known as Scorch, is about to shake things up in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.

SWGOH Grand Moff Tarkin Update: New Dark Side Synergies and Abilities Explained
There’s nothing like a bit of fear to keep the local systems in line—especially when Grand Moff Tarkin is calling the shots. The latest update to Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes brings a host of improvements to Tarkin’s abilities, making him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, particularly when teamed up with the newly introduced Dark Side Clone Troopers. If you were wondering what this means for your 3v3 GAC strategy, let’s just say you might want to reconsider leaving Tarkin on the sidelines. Tarkin Gets a New Look: Special Damage and Synergy Overhaul One of the most notable changes is that all of Tarkin’s abilities now deal Special damage, moving away from the mix of Physical and Special that previously defined his kit. This makes his damage more predictable and allows for better scaling with Potency, which—spoiler alert—gets a massive boost in this rework. His Basic…

What you don’t need is a default loadout that screams “budget cosplay.” That’s why the Real Addons mod for Star Wars Outlaws exists — to bring a much-needed dose of visual realism and immersive flair to your outlaw experience.
