LEGO Star Wars Castaways’ Sith Moves Event Ends Tomorrow

LEGO Star Wars Castaways Sith Moves event artwork featuring Revenge of the Sith-themed minifigure parts, vehicles, and the July 31, 2026 end date.

The Revenge of the Sith-themed Sith Moves event in LEGO Star Wars: Castaways ends tomorrow, July 31. That means players have one final day to unlock the event’s themed minifigure parts, vehicles, and other cosmetic rewards before the island moves on to its next temporary distraction. The event returned earlier this month and has been running through July 31. So if your custom minifigure still lacks the proper amount of lava-planet drama, now would be an excellent time to fix that. What the Sith Moves Event Includes The limited-time event is built around Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and offers themed rewards for the game’s character customiser. Players can unlock minifigure parts, vehicles, and other items connected to the film’s final, extremely calm days of the Republic. The exact rewards are earned through the event’s activities rather than simply appearing in the character menu out of…

Before Smartphones, Star Wars Games Lived on Tiny Java Phones

Four early mobile phones displaying retro Star Wars-style Java games, including space combat, a lightsaber duel, and an isometric mission.

Before mobile games came with 12GB downloads, season passes, login calendars, and a button inviting you to buy 2,800 crystals, Star Wars already lived on phones. The difference was that these phones had number keys. During the mid-to-late 2000s, publishers squeezed an impressive number of Star Wars games onto Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and other handsets running Java ME, usually called J2ME. Screens were tiny. Storage was miserable. Controls were built around a numeric keypad. The same game could behave differently depending on which rectangular piece of plastic you owned. It was not glamorous. It was, however, an entire chapter of Star Wars gaming history that is now dangerously easy to lose. Star Wars Arrived Before the App Store The pre-smartphone mobile market worked very differently from today’s App Store and Google Play ecosystem. Games were commonly purchased through mobile carriers, publisher portals, or handset-specific storefronts. There was no universal…

SWGOH Yoda (Dark Side Vision) Guide: Best Team, Mods, Abilities, and Omicron

Dark Side Yoda hologram character screen

Yoda has spent decades warning everyone about the dangers of fear, anger, and the dark side. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has responded by turning all three into a playable Sith healer. Yoda (Dark Side Vision) joins the Era of Myths & Legends as a Dark Side Healer built around Siphon, debuff transfer, constant recovery, and Dark Master’s Training. His kit works with Sith in general, but several major effects specifically require a Sith Gungan in the Leader slot. In other words, this deeply corrupted version of Yoda has been designed for Darth Jar Jar. Somewhere, continuity has quietly left the building.

SWGOH Starkiller (Luke Concept) Guide: Best Team, Mods, Abilities, and Omicron

Starkiller Luke Concept in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, featured in a guide to his best team, mods, abilities, and Grand Arena Omicron.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has found a wonderfully strange way to upgrade Commander Luke Skywalker: give him the earlier version of himself that George Lucas discarded before filming began. Starkiller (Luke Concept) is not Galen Marek from The Force Unleashed. He is the early Luke Starkiller concept turned into a Light Side Support unit for Rebel teams. His kit is designed specifically for Commander Luke Skywalker, bringing Shared Fate, mass Ability Block, cooldown manipulation, Turn Meter control, and a Grand Arena Omicron. Starkiller (Luke Concept) at a Glance Alignment: Light SideRole: SupportTags: Rebel, Unaligned Force UserBest leader: Commander Luke SkywalkerPrimary mechanic: Shared FateOmicron mode: Grand Arena He is not intended as a flexible Rebel plug-in.

SWGOH Jaxxon Kit Guide: Best Team, Abilities, Omicron, and How He Works

Jaxxon in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, featured in a guide covering his best team, mods, abilities, and Territory Battles Omicron.

Jaxxon has arrived in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes as a Light Side Attacker built for Prepared Scoundrel and Smuggler teams. Yes, the green rabbit from the old Marvel comics now has a Territory Battles Omicron. Star Wars has completed another perfectly normal lap around the sun. This guide covers Jaxxon’s best team, recommended mods, ability priorities, battle strategy, and whether his Omicron deserves your increasingly endangered materials. Jaxxon at a Glance Role: AttackerAlignment: Light SideTags: Mercenary, Scoundrel, SmugglerCore mechanic: PreparedBest partner: Any version of Lando CalrissianOmicron mode: Territory Battles Jaxxon is designed to attack repeatedly, feed Turn Meter to Prepared allies, and grow more dangerous through consecutive critical hits.

Mixing factions means leaving an important part of his unique ability sitting unused, which is generally frowned upon by both strategists and rabbits carrying blasters.

Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-10-2026 Makes Cinta Kaz Farmable and Fixes a Lot of Weird Kit Issues

Cinta Kaz from Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes featured in an editorial image for the June 10 update making her shards farmable.

The latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update is not the kind of patch that arrives with fireworks, a new Galactic Legend, and half the holotable screaming. But it does have something players always care about: a new farm, an accelerated character, and a surprisingly long list of fixes for abilities that were not behaving the way their descriptions promised. According to EA’s official Galaxy of Heroes Update 6-10-2026, the two headline items are simple: Depa Billaba is now accelerated, and Cinta Kaz shards are now farmable from Dark Side Battles 6-F Hard. For collectors and roster planners, that is the part that matters immediately. Cinta Kaz Is Now Farmable Cinta Kaz moving to Dark Side Battles 6-F Hard gives players a clear farming path instead of waiting around like a moisture farmer watching clouds do absolutely nothing. That is especially useful for players building around newer faction pieces and…

Galaxy of Heroes Update Adds Vel Sartha Farming and Cleans Up Key Bugs

Sci-fi holographic update header for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, highlighting Vel Sartha farming, system updates, and bug fixes.

The latest Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes update is not just another round of background maintenance. It ties together a busy New Republic-flavored week, adds a new farmable character shard location, and fixes a handful of bugs that were quietly making parts of the Holotable more annoying than intended. EA and Capital Games outlined the changes in the official Galaxy of Heroes Update 5-27-2026, with three major kit reveals leading the news section: Colonel Ward, Grogu & Anzellans, and Rotta the Hutt. That is a lot of tiny chaos, Hutt violence, and New Republic paperwork for one update. Three New Kit Reveals Lead the Update The headline news is the trio of new kit reveals, all of which point toward the current shape of Galaxy of Heroes: more New Republic synergy, more Grand Arena pressure, and more extremely specific Star Wars characters becoming surprisingly complicated tactical problems. We have already…

Colonel Ward Joins Galaxy of Heroes as a New Republic Punisher

The New Republic squad in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is getting another very specific kind of problem-solver: Colonel Ward, a Light Side Support unit built to expose enemies, punish bad targeting, and make counterattacks much nastier. EA and Capital Games have revealed the full kit for Colonel Ward in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, confirming her as a Light Side Support character in the New Republic faction. And she is clearly not here to stand in the back and politely cheer. Colonel Ward is designed to slot into the New Republic squad led by Captain Carson Teva, where her job is to make enemies pay for hiding, attacking the wrong targets, or trying to work around Taunt. A Support Unit Built Around Punishment Ward’s kit is all about pressure through debuffs. Her basic ability, A180 Blaster Pistol, deals Physical damage and inflicts Evasion Down. If it is Ward’s turn,…

Rotta the Hutt Is Coming to Galaxy of Heroes, and He’s Not a Baby Anymore

Rotta the Hutt shown as a hologram in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes during his kit reveal screen.

Rotta the Hutt is no longer just the kidnapped Huttlet from The Clone Wars. In Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, he has grown into a full arena bruiser, complete with axes, attitude, and a kit that looks designed to make Grand Arena players deeply uncomfortable. EA and Capital Games have officially revealed the full kit for Rotta the Hutt, confirming him as a Light Side Leader, Attacker, and Hutt Cartel unit. That combination is already unusual, but the real hook is even better: Rotta can lead the Hutt Cartel, but his kit clearly wants him to shine as a solo gladiator. This is not just Jabba’s kid all grown up. This is Rotta stepping into the arena and making the family business look almost subtle. Rotta the Hutt Is No Longer the Helpless Huttlet The official kit reveal frames Rotta as a character who has moved far beyond his Clone…

On This Day: Revenge of the Sith Put Darth Vader in Your Pocket

Retro mobile phone showing a pixel-style Star Wars lightsaber game, with headline about Revenge of the Sith coming to mobile in 2005.

Before smartphones, app stores, and mobile games asking for your credit card every 11 seconds, Star Wars was already trying to squeeze the fall of Anakin Skywalker into your pocket. On May 11, 2005, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was released for ExEn mobile platforms in parts of Europe, according to MobyGames’ May 11 game history archive. It was not the big PlayStation 2 or Xbox version most players remember. It was the tiny, old-school mobile version — the kind of game designed for feature phones, small screens, stiff buttons, and heroic levels of thumb patience. And honestly? That makes it even more fascinating. A Sith Lord, But Make It Pocket-Sized The ExEn version of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was based on Episode III and turned the movie’s chaos into a compact action game. Players could control Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, and Yoda across 12 levels inspired…

Satele Shan character screen in SWGOH update

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is making a direct change to Satele Shan after investigating her interaction with Galactic Legend Rey. In a new official update, the Galaxy of Heroes team says it reviewed how Satele was performing with GL Rey and decided it needed to step in. With tomorrow’s patch, players will have their Satele Shan reset to a level that allows reinvestment, giving them the chance to rebuild her after the changes. That is the real headline here. This is not just a tiny balance tweak buried in patch notes. It is a full intervention tied to a specific high-profile interaction, and it comes with meaningful updates to Special 02 and Legendary Defiance, two parts of Satele’s kit that now push her more clearly toward Old Republic teams. What changed The revised Special 02 now dispels all buffs on all enemies, deals Physical damage to the target, applies…

If you have been casually telling yourself “yeah, yeah, I’ll do the event stuff later,” LEGO Star Wars: Castaways has arrived with the digital equivalent of a raised eyebrow. The game’s official account has confirmed that the Weekly Missions have just refreshed, which means players now have a fresh batch of objectives to complete in order to keep progressing through “The Way” event. The little Mandalorian event that keeps the island busy This is not some giant content drop pretending to be a revolution. It is a smaller live-event nudge, but those are often the things that keep a game like Castaways ticking along nicely. “The Way” is the current Star Wars: The Mandalorian-themed event, and the official event post says it lets players complete missions to earn themed rewards on the island.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes April 1 Update Fixes a Long List of Bugs — But Two New Investigations Are Already Underway

SWGOH April 1 2026 update header image showing a holographic datacron-style interface and investigation-themed Star Wars visual design

SWGOH’s April 1 update was busy for all the right and wrong reasons Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes had a surprisingly packed April 1, 2026. On paper, the day’s official update looked like a standard maintenance-style cleanup: one character became farmable, another moved into the Accelerated pool, and a long list of bug fixes and description corrections rolled out across the game. But the bigger story is what happened alongside it. Within hours of that update post, Capital Games also confirmed it is investigating two separate issues: one tied to the Power for Hire Datacron set, and another involving Satele Shan interacting with Galactic Legend Rey in a way that is causing both characters to overperform. In other words, yes, things got fixed — but the live game still has some very active fire alarms going off. The immediate wins: farmable shards, acceleration, and a pile of fixes The headline…

SWGOH Flags New Dedra Bugs as EA Investigates Quest and Coliseum Issues

SWGOH screenshot showing Dedra Meero in squad selection with overlaid headline text about new Dedra bugs and EA investigations

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has a new batch of live issues on the board, and they all point back to Dedra Meero. In an official Known Issues and Investigations post, the team said it is aware of multiple problems tied to Dedra-related quests and abilities and is currently investigating them, with no further details yet on timing or fixes. What Is Apparently Broken Right Now According to the official issue roundup, three specific problems are being tracked. First, “win battles with Dedra on your squad” quest progress is not counting correctly in Dedra marquee battles. Second, “Undermine” inflicted is not counting properly toward the related character quest. Third, Dedra’s Unique ability is reportedly not applying to ISB allies in Coliseum. Why This One Matters This is the kind of bug cluster players notice fast, because it hits both progression and team functionality at the same time. If marquee-battle wins…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes inspired update header image with a clone trooper, holographic interface, and text about the March 18 update

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes just got a small but useful March 18 update, and the biggest takeaway for many players will be a shard shuffle involving Yoda & Chewie and Baze Malbus. EA’s official update says Yoda & Chewie shards are now farmable from Light Side Battles (Hard) 9-C, replacing Baze Malbus, while Baze Malbus moves to Light Side Battles (Hard) 5-F. Two New Events Are Also On the Way The update also teases an Additive Drops Event and a Mystery Event, though EA’s post does not include detailed timing or rewards in the brief summary. Bug Fixes Include Stormtrooper Luke and Vane On the fixes side, Capital Games says it has corrected the Stormtrooper Luke Omicron cost and fixed an issue where Vane was not properly gaining offense based on max health. Those are the kind of adjustments that will matter a lot more to active roster builders…

Galaxy of Heroes Adds Cinta Kaz, and She Looks Built to Be a Quiet Problem for the Other Team

Galaxy of Heroes promotional image showing Cinta Kaz as a Light Side character now available in the game

The Era of Andor rollout in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is still going, and now it is Cinta Kaz’s turn to hit the holotables. Fantha Tracks picked up the news from Lucasfilm Games, while the official kit reveal mirrored on SWGOH.GG places her Marquee event from March 10 to March 17 as part of the broader Andor-era release schedule. That alone is enough to make Andor fans pay attention, because Cinta was never the loudest character in the room. She was the one who made silence feel dangerous. And honestly, that seems to be exactly what the game is leaning into here. The official kit reveal describes her as a cold, fearless assassin and a stealthy Attacker who slots into the new Rebel Fighter team alongside Cassian Andor (Undercover), Luthen Rael, Kleya Marki, and Vel Sartha. The Game Clearly Knows What Kind of Character Cinta Is One of the…
