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…

While Lucasfilm hasn’t officially confirmed the move, the rumor mill has gone into hyperspace, and it actually makes a lot of sense. Let’s break down what’s being reported, why this change could be a good thing, and what fans can expect from the project.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Video Game Was Released on This Day in 2002!
Before The Clone Wars became one of the most beloved animated series in Star Wars history, it was a video game that let fans jump into the chaos of the galactic conflict firsthand. Released on October 28, 2002, Star Wars: The Clone Wars arrived for PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox, giving players their first taste of large-scale Republic vs. Separatist warfare long before the TV series expanded the saga. A Forgotten Gem from the Early 2000s Developed by Pandemic Studios (the same team that would later create Star Wars: Battlefront), The Clone Wars video game dropped players into the cockpit of iconic vehicles like the AT-TE, Republic Gunship, and Speeder Bikes, as well as letting them take control of Jedi heroes such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu. Unlike many games of its era, it focused heavily on vehicular combat and large-scale battles, making players feel like they…

Star Wars: Master of Evil – A Spoiler-Free, Fan-to-Fan Review
Okay, let’s get this out of the way first: if you’re even remotely into Darth Vader, this book is going to hit you right in the lightsaber-loving heart. Star Wars: Master of Evil by Adam Christopher is not just another Vader story. It’s a moody, mysterious, and surprisingly emotional deep dive into the early days of the galaxy’s most iconic villain. And yes, I devoured it with the same energy I bring to binge-watching Clone Wars at 2 a.m. Before we go further — if you’re already sold and just want to order the book (I don’t blame you), you can grab it right now on Amazon .

Yes, that’s right — the movie that started it all will once again hit the big screen, giving fans across generations the chance to see Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Darth Vader in stunning remastered IMAX glory. A Cinematic Legend Turns 50 It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly five decades since Star Wars first changed cinema forever. When George Lucas released A New Hope (then simply Star Wars) in May 1977, few could have imagined the cultural supernova it would ignite. From groundbreaking visual effects to John Williams’ instantly iconic score, A New Hope redefined what a science-fiction film could be — and what moviegoing itself could feel like. The 2027 IMAX release…

The Canceled The Hunt for Ben Solo: A Star Wars What-Could-Have-Been
When Adam Driver revealed that he and Steven Soderbergh had quietly developed a new Star Wars film centered on his character Ben Solo, fans sat up and took notice. But what started as one of the most anticipated continuations after the sequel trilogy turned into one of the most frustrating “almosts” in Star Wars lore. The working title: The Hunt for Ben Solo. The story: Ben Solo alive and missing after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, his fate’s a mystery, and the galaxy’s obsession is on. The team: Soderbergh directing, Driver starring, and Scott Z. Burns penning a reportedly finalised script. What’s shocking is how far the project got before it died. Reports say the script was complete, the budget and start date proposed, Lucasfilm had approved internally—but when it hit the desk of Bob Iger and Alan Bergman at Disney, it was rejected. Their reason?…
Kino Loy Made His First Appearance 3 Years Ago: The Voice That Rallied a Galaxy
Three years ago today, a single voice echoed through the halls of an Imperial prison—and changed Star Wars forever. On October 26, 2022, Andor introduced us to Kino Loy, the no-nonsense floor manager of the Narkina 5 labor facility, played with fierce humanity by Andy Serkis. He wasn’t a Jedi, a smuggler, or a rebel leader. He was just a man trapped in the machine—until he found the courage to fight it. The Reluctant Leader of Narkina 5 When Kino Loy first appeared in Episode 8 of Andor (“Narkina 5”), he seemed like another cog in the Empire’s cruel system. His job was to keep prisoners productive and quiet. But beneath the surface, there was more than discipline—there was fear. Kino embodied the survival mindset of someone crushed by oppression. He believed in following orders because that was the only way to stay alive. But as Cassian Andor began chipping…
Tales of the Jedi Premiered 3 Years Ago: A Small Series with a Massive Legacy
Three years ago today, Tales of the Jedi premiered—and for a show made up of short animated stories, it sure left a big mark on the galaxy. Released on October 26, 2022, the anthology series from Star Wars: The Clone Wars creator Dave Filoni explored the lives, choices, and tragedies of two very different Force users: Ahsoka Tano and Count Dooku. It wasn’t just more Clone Wars content—it was surgical storytelling, delivering sharp, emotional arcs that deepened the Star Wars universe in just six short episodes. The Art of Compact Storytelling In a franchise known for sprawling trilogies and galaxy-spanning wars, Tales of the Jedi proved that less can be more. Each episode ran under 20 minutes, yet managed to hit with the emotional weight of a full film. The Ahsoka episodes traced her journey from a wide-eyed child on Shili to the battle-hardened survivor of Order 66. The Dooku…
On This Day 15 Years Ago: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Unleashed Its Power
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. Armed with two lightsabers, a serious case of identity crisis, and enough Force power to tear an AT-ST in half, Starkiller’s second act was fast, furious, and far too short. But despite its brief runtime, The Force Unleashed II remains a defining moment in Star Wars gaming history—equal parts spectacle, chaos, and emotional turmoil. The Power Fantasy Turned Up to 11 The original Force Unleashed gave fans the dream of tossing Stormtroopers off platforms and hurling TIE Fighters like frisbees. The sequel said, “You liked that? Let’s crank it to 11.” From the moment you fire up the game,…
The Hunt for Ben Solo: The Star Wars Sequel That Was Ready to Shoot—Until Disney Called “Cut!”
In a tale as dramatic as any lightsaber duel, it’s been revealed that The Hunt for Ben Solo—the much-buzzed about sequel to the sequel-trilogy—was fully green-lit, with script, budget, and shoot date in place, only to be shelved at the final gate. Let’s unpack how a Star Wars film got as far as “ready to shoot” and why it never moved forward. ✅ How Far Along Did the Project Get? In short: Not just an idea. A locked-in production plan. ❌ Why Did It Get Killed? When the package reached Disney CEO Bob Iger and co-chair Alan Bergman, the verdict was straightforward: “We don’t see how Ben Solo is alive.” Despite the creative team’s assurances, the narrative barrier proved too high for the studio: Sources say this project became the first ever fully green-lit Lucasfilm film not to proceed—which underlines just how far down track it had gone. 🤔 Why…

So You Think You Know How to Play Pusoy Dos? Think Again! | A GameZone Guide
Ask a Filipino family how to play Pusoy Dos, and you won’t get instructions—you’ll get a full-blown debate. One uncle will start rearranging cards like he’s auditioning for a magic show, a cousin will yell that “that’s not how we do it in our house,” and someone’s mom will bring snacks to distract everyone from the chaos. That’s because how to play Pusoy Dos isn’t really about cards—it’s about survival. It’s a crash course in negotiation, emotional resilience, and how to spot the relative most likely to cheat with a smile. This isn’t just a game—it’s a Filipino rite of passage wrapped in laughter, chichirya, and questionable “house rules.” So, you think you know how to play? Let’s test that confidence. Rule #1: The Only Rule Is… There Are No Rules Every family has its own Pusoy Dos constitution, usually drafted by whoever shouts the loudest or last. One version…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Smuggler’s Run III Update Brings More Profit, More Chaos
Ah, Holotable Heroes! Gather ’round, because everyone’s favorite pirate has a new business venture. The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes team has officially unveiled the Smuggler’s Run III update, featuring fresh rewards, rebalanced event cadences, and—naturally—Hondo Ohnaka’s flair for profit. This is one of the biggest overhauls to the Smuggler’s Run event series yet, streamlining cadence while boosting overall rewards to make sure your efforts (and your loot) feel even more worthwhile. And as Hondo himself would say: “A pirate always delivers!” A Smuggler’s Life: What’s Changing in Smuggler’s Run III Starting in November 2025, Galaxy of Heroes players can expect a new event rotation designed to keep things balanced, rewarding, and just a bit unpredictable—like any good smuggling operation.

On This Day in Battlefront History: “Another Night on Endor” Update Turns Six
Six years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II players ventured back into the dark forests of Endor — and the screams still echo. Released in October 2019, the “Another Night on Endor” update brought one of the game’s most memorable limited-time modes to new heights. The spooky, moonlit chaos of Ewok Hunt returned with fresh content, enhanced visuals, and new hero appearances — making it a standout moment in DICE’s post-launch roadmap for the beloved shooter. The Return of the Hunt The centerpiece of the update was a brand-new Ewok Hunt map, expanding on the terrifying nighttime survival mode that turned players into either predator or prey. In this asymmetric horror experience, stormtroopers tried to survive the night against the fuzzy, furious, and highly motivated Ewoks of Endor. Players stalked through pitch-black forests, guided only by the faint beam of a flashlight — and the haunting sound of Ewok horns…
Rian Johnson Still Loves Star Wars — and Says He’d Be “The Happiest Person” to Return
A Filmmaker’s Renewed Affection for the Galaxy In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Rian Johnson opened up about his affection for the Star Wars universe—despite stepping away from it after directing The Last Jedi. According to the talk, Johnson remarked: “I love Star Wars. And if someday it makes sense to come back to it, for both of us, it would be the most wonderful thing in the world.” That statement comes amid a creative moment for Johnson: he’s prepping his next project, a ’70s-style paranoid sci-fi thriller, but he clearly hasn’t shut the door on a Star Wars return. What’s Next for Rian Johnson Though Johnson is currently focused on brand-new genre territory—he describes his upcoming film as “light sci-fi” with a nod to classic thrillers—he emphasizes that the Star Wars “cog” in his head remains turning. Here is what that means in practical terms: What This Means…

The Hunt for Ben Solo: The Canceled Star Wars Sequel That Nearly Redeemed Kylo Ren
In a galaxy full of untold stories, one nearly made it past the Disney gates: The Hunt for Ben Solo — a bold, character-driven Star Wars sequel that would have resurrected Adam Driver’s conflicted Jedi-turned-Sith-turned-savior for one final redemption arc. According to newly surfaced details and fan discussions lighting up X (formerly Twitter), this project was meant to pick up right after The Rise of Skywalker, diving deep into Ben Solo’s survival, guilt, and search for peace. But in true Star Wars irony, the same studio that brought back Emperor Palpatine with a single line — “somehow, Palpatine returned” — decided this resurrection was a step too far. Now, The Hunt for Ben Solo has become the greatest Star Wars film never made. What Was The Hunt for Ben Solo? Imagine this: Ben Solo — son of Leia Organa and Han Solo, grandson of Darth Vader — awakens in the…
