Let’s get one thing straight right from the start: not every MMORPG update has to come with fireworks, new planets, and a dramatic betrayal by your companion. Sometimes, the most meaningful patches are the ones that don’t demand your attention — they earn it slowly, through polish, nuance, and attention to the stuff that actually keeps a game alive day in and day out. That’s what Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Update 7.7 delivers. Now, coming from someone who’s been in this MMO galaxy for more than 25 years — through the early days of EverQuest, the golden age of World of Warcraft, and yes, the rollercoaster ride that is SWTOR — I’ve learned to recognize the updates that quietly move the needle. This one doesn’t scream “headline expansion.” But beneath its modest patch notes lies a layer of thoughtful refinement that long-time players will immediately appreciate. Let’s take a…

Galactic Seasons Ranked: SWTOR’s First 7 Seasons from Space Gold to Galactic Meh
Galactic Seasons have become a core part of the Star Wars: The Old Republic ecosystem. For over four years now, they’ve offered players a structured way to earn rewards, explore new companions, and sometimes even question why they bothered unlocking yet another set of bug-themed armor. With Season 8 in full swing, it feels like the perfect time to reflect—with humor, honesty, and a pinch of nostalgia—on how the first seven seasons stack up. #1 – Galactic Season 5: Confidence in Power Season 5 took a bold turn by removing the companion reward entirely, and surprisingly, it worked. The small KOTOR-style side story was charming, funny, and repayable, even without voice acting. And the Loth-cat kitten may not have been game-breaking, but it did steal hearts. The Armasaur mount, the fleet-wide rep tokens, and some stylish armor pieces (even if you only wore half the set) sealed the deal. This…

Rumored Star Wars Actors for New Netflix Show
Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the best Star Wars games to date. You know we love it and we know our readers love it. Now what if there was a new show set in the Old Republic era? Netflix wants to bring us just that. Almost 200,000 fans have petitioned to Disney via Change.org for an “Old Republic Era” TV series and it seems like Disney is taking notice. According to the recent scoop from Hollywood Reporter, Ted Sarandos (Chief Content Officer) at Netflix had some initial talks on this subject with Disney. The rumor says there are even some great scripts they are going through to see if the series would be a good fit. It’s definitely something exciting that we plan to follow to see what happens with it. We still have no idea if it’s actually going to be a thing (here’s hoping) but Entertain-O-Rama has…
