Gambling is not new to the Star Wars universe. There are several places where we see gambling and betting throughout the franchise. It’s something that we’ve written about here before, but it’s also something we likely won’t see as long as Disney holds the rights to new Star Wars content. While gambling may not be in the spirit of their “family friendly” ideal, it IS and always has been a part of Star Wars. The original movies were intended to be family-friendly, but we still see the casinos for short periods in them. My guess is that a) standards have changed a bit since the original movies came out and b) Disney’s idea of “family friendly” may be a bit more G-rated than others. At any rate, there is gambling and betting in Star Wars and we see the Gilded Descent Casino in the first novel, for example. It was…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: update on Anakin’s performance
The Community Manager over at Star Wars: Galaxy of hereoes posted a small update on Anakin’s performance in the game. Some players think he is way to powerfull. Here is the news: April 25, 2019 6:14PM edited April 25 “Your focus determines your reality.” Hey Holotable Heroes, I wanted to give a quick update on our announcement last Friday that we were looking into Anakin’s performance and whether or not he is too powerful, particularly where we want him to sit in the meta versus some specific teams like Darth Malak/Darth Revan.

That represents less than 1% of the total battles fought by the entire community during this window. Of these battles, JKA is…
