Big news for Star Wars fans: Legendary voice actor Jim Cummings recently confirmed that Hondo Ohnaka, the loveable pirate-rogue from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, is officially “not done yet.” That’s right—Hondo’s next adventure is brewing. Hondo’s Return: What We Know Cummings dropped the teaser during a promo event for Andreas Deja: 30 Years of Disney Villains, telling fans to “stay tuned.” His wink—not subtle in the least—suggests Hondo may soon resurface, possibly in the upcoming animated sequel Maul: Shadow Lord. Given Hondo’s dynamic history with Maul in The Clone Wars, the pairing would be dramaturgically delicious. Where Might Hondo Land Next? 1. Maul: Shadow Lord (Animated) This upcoming Disney+ series (2026) follows Darth Maul’s criminal empire-building post-Clone Wars. It’s the most natural fit for Hondo—after all, he’s tangled with Maul before and always lands back in shady—but hilarious—circumstances. 2. A Standalone Hondo Animated Special Lucasfilm could go flashier and…

Brutus Kit Reveal – Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Unleashes a Ferocious New Pirate
There’s a new Dark Side scoundrel swaggering onto the Holotables, and his name is Brutus. No, not the Roman backstabber—this one’s a Shistavanen pirate who’s less about betrayal in togas and more about stealing buffs, slicing defenses, and raining scattershot death in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. With a snarling attitude and a toolkit tailor-made for PvP mayhem, Brutus arrives as part of the Order 66 Raid update—but let’s be honest, you’re really here for that juicy synergy with Galactic Legend Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka. Let’s dig into what makes Brutus more than just another angry dog-faced gunner. Who (or What) Is Brutus? Brutus is a Dark Side, Scoundrel, Pirate, and Attacker with a mutiny-themed kit that rewards chaos, coordination, and a touch of backstabbing flair. Inspired by the Skeleton Crew series’ deep-cut return of the Shistavanen species (aka the OG “wolfman” from A New Hope), Brutus is designed to…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Kit Reveal for Quiggold — The Pirate Tank We Didn’t Know We Needed
Every now and then, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes drops a character kit that doesn’t just fill a niche—it opens a treasure chest. The latest addition? Quiggold, the gruff, heavy-blaster-wielding First Mate of Captain Ithano from The Force Awakens, now fully outfitted and ready to anchor the Pirate faction in both raids and Territory Battles. Let’s break down this new Dark Side tank, his synergy with Ithano, his stack-heavy mechanics, and why he’s absolutely vital if you’re chasing Galactic Legend Hondo Ohnaka. Quiggold’s Alignment and Role: He’s not just a meat shield—Quiggold is a disruptive utility tank with some of the most interesting buff-manipulation we’ve seen in the game.

His kit is loaded with buff stealing, debuff resistance, and mechanics that scale based on his Profit stacks—a new mechanic…
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Kit Reveal: Captain Ithano Is Here to Steal Your Buffs and Your Glory
Move over Mandalorians—there’s a new swagger in town. Captain Ithano, the crimson-coated Corsair from The Force Awakens, has landed in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes with a kit that screams “profit-first, ask-questions-never.” He’s here to do two things: stack Profit and mess with your buffs. And he’s already doing both with pirate-tier efficiency. Captain Ithano is the lead unit kicking off the Era of Piracy, and if his kit is any indication, the scoundrels of SWGOH are getting a full-blown mutiny boost. The Pirate’s Code: Profit and Plunder Two central mechanics define Ithano’s playstyle: Profit and Stealing. He’s not here to play fair. He’s here to win dirty, die dramatically, and come back swinging.
