SWTOR players have been asking for old Galactic Seasons rewards to come back for a while now, and with Galactic Season 10: Secrets of the Syndicate, Broadsword finally stopped pretending not to hear them. The new season launched with Game Update 7.8.1 on March 10, and the big hook is simple: all rewards from Seasons 1 and 3 are back, including the fan-favorite companions Altuur zok Adon and PH4-LNX. For anyone who missed those earlier seasons, this is less of a second chance and more of a giant neon sign telling you to log back in already. The Big Selling Point Is the Return of Seasons 1 and 3 Broadsword confirmed that rewards from The Stranger from Kubindi and Luck of the Draw are being re-released during GS10, and that includes the two rewards a lot of players cared about most: Altuur zok Adon and PH4-LNX.

SWTOR Drops “Shae vs. Heta” — A New Music Track That Carries the Weight of a Feud
SWTOR doesn’t always announce its biggest moments with fireworks. Sometimes, it lets the music speak first. That’s exactly what just happened with “Shae vs. Heta,” a newly released Star Wars: The Old Republic music track that quietly arrived on YouTube — and immediately signaled that a long-simmering Mandalorian conflict still matters. Why this matters now SWTOR has been steadily releasing new, original music outside the game client, and each drop tells us something about where the story’s emotional gravity currently sits. “Shae vs. Heta” isn’t ambient filler. It’s pointed. Personal. And titled like a confrontation that refuses to stay in the past. When a live-service MMO continues to invest in bespoke, story-driven music more than a decade in, that’s not nostalgia. That’s intent. What was released The SWTOR team has published a new standalone track titled “Shae vs. Heta” on YouTube. The music is credited to Gordy Haab, Samuel Joseph…
Best Star Wars Games Ranked by Replayability
Looking for the most replayable Star Wars games? Titles like Star Wars: The Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic, and classic Battlefront II still stand out thanks to strong systems, player choice, and active communities. Not all Star Wars games are created equal — and even fewer are worth replaying years after release. Some titles are unforgettable the first time through, but lose their magic once the credits roll. Others keep pulling players back thanks to strong systems, player choice, mods, multiplayer modes, or ongoing content. This ranking focuses on replayability above all else. Not nostalgia alone. Not review scores. But the games that still work in 2026 — and give you a reason to return. What Makes a Star Wars Game Truly Replayable? Before ranking the games, it’s worth defining what replayability actually means in practice. A replayable Star Wars game typically offers at least one of the…
SWTOR Quietly Drops a New Music Track — and It’s More Important Than It Looks
Star Wars: The Old Republic doesn’t usually make a big show out of music releases. That’s why today’s official upload of “Landing Zones” to the game’s YouTube channel stands out. Not because it’s flashy.Because it’s deliberate. After more than a decade, SWTOR is still commissioning and spotlighting brand-new Star Wars music—and choosing to present it outside the game client says a lot about where the MMO is right now. What just happened Broadsword and the SWTOR team have published “Landing Zones,” a newly composed music track, on the official Star Wars: The Old Republic YouTube channel. The track is credited to Gordy Haab, Samuel Joseph Smythe, and Yitong ET Chen, three composers closely associated with modern Star Wars game music. This is not archival audio, a remix, or a repurposed film cue. It’s original material written specifically for SWTOR. The upload appears as part of SWTOR’s growing official music presence…
Shadow of Revan Turns 11: Celebrating One of SWTOR’s Most Iconic Expansions
On December 9, 2014, Star Wars: The Old Republic dropped one of its most beloved expansions — Shadow of Revan — and changed the game forever.Yes, it’s officially been 11 years since Revan returned to the spotlight, raised an army, and delivered one of the most quotable threats in the entire SWTOR storyline: “War is coming. Conflict on a scale we’ve never seen. Revan has forged an army with a single purpose — to change the galaxy forever. Empire. Republic. We must unite, or fall.” And honestly? Eleven years later, that line still hits just as hard. Why Shadow of Revan Stands Out In the long history of SWTOR, Shadow of Revan wasn’t just another expansion. It was a pivot — a story that connected Knights of the Old Republic, SWTOR’s evolving narrative, and the larger mythos of Revan into one huge, dramatic arc. Players got: It was the moment…

Let’s face it: no matter how much of a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic you are, there will be times in your life when you’re not playing it. And when that’s the case, what should you be doing with your time? That’s where this post comes in handy. We look at some of the things you can do when you’re not actively enjoying the game. Yes, it might seem strange (the suggestion that there could be something else to do out there), but it’s also worth exploring. Go To A Star Wars Set One thing you could do is go to a Star Wars set (or at least somewhere that looks a bit like it could be a set). For example, a lot of fans make their way out to red-rock canyons in the southwest and hang out like they’re on Tatooine. Don’t worry: the temperature is high…
