					<description><![CDATA[Star Wars Zero Company has companions, squad bonds, story characters, base interactions, permadeath, and enough tactical pressure to make every bad decision feel like it should come with paperwork. What it apparently does not have is romance. According to PC Gamer’s latest overview of the game, Zero Company includes BioWare-style companion energy, approval-style relationships, and squad interaction, but no player romance arcs. For some RPG fans, that may sound like a missed opportunity. For this particular Star Wars game, it might actually be smart. Zero Company Is About Bonds, Not Dating The important distinction here is that Zero Company is not ignoring relationships. Quite the opposite. The game seems heavily built around them. Players lead a squad of original and customizable characters through covert Clone Wars missions, building trust, bonds, and tactical synergy along the way. EA has also described the team as an unlikely ensemble of allies who must...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Not everything in Star Wars: The Old Republic needs to be about ancient Sith threats, galactic war, emotional betrayal, or Darth Malgus standing around like the galaxy’s angriest motivational poster. Sometimes, the game just needs speed, explosions, and people making terrible transportation choices for entertainment. Good news: The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally is back. According to the official SWTOR June 2026 in-game events schedule, the Swoop Rally runs from June 9 to June 16, beginning and ending at 12:00 PM GMT. The event is available for players level 20 and above, and sends swoop fans to Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon for one of the galaxy’s loudest excuses to ignore its many problems. What Is the All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally? The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally is SWTOR’s big racing event, built around three swoop gangs: Horizon’s Razor, the Pit Screamers, and the Blatant Beks. Each gang brings its...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[If Lucasfilm ever brings Qimir back, Manny Jacinto sounds interested. But not at any cost. Speaking to Collider, The Acolyte star Manny Jacinto was asked what he would say if Dave Filoni asked him to return as The Stranger. His answer was not the usual “I’d love to come back, call me, please let me hold the cool helmet again” response. Instead, Jacinto made one thing very clear: for him, there is no Stranger without Leslye Headland. That is the interesting part. Because Qimir was not just a breakout character because he looked good in a mask and ruined a few Jedi’s week. He worked because The Acolyte built him as something strange, seductive, dangerous, wounded, and not easily filed under “standard Sith guy.” Qimir Was The Acolyte’s Biggest Unfinished Weapon Whatever people think of The Acolyte as a whole, Qimir became the character almost everyone wanted to talk about....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Star Wars Zero Company is already giving tactics fans plenty to think about: squad bonds, Clone Wars-era missions, custom operators, base management, and the very real possibility of ruining a perfect plan in the first two turns. Now there is something much simpler on the table. Free stuff. A new Custom Controller Giveaway is live, giving fans a chance to win one of five custom-designed Xbox Series X wireless controllers and a Deluxe Edition game code for Star Wars Zero Company at launch. Five runners-up will also receive a Deluxe Edition game code. Not bad for entering a sweepstakes and hoping the Force has finally stopped ignoring your inbox. What Can You Win?

					<description><![CDATA[A Star Wars game just passed 1.5 billion minutes played in its first month. No, not Zero Company. Not Galaxy of Heroes. Not some surprise remake of Knights of the Old Republic that appeared overnight because the Force finally answered everyone’s group chat. It happened in Fortnite. According to GamesBeat, Star Wars: Droid Tycoon has surpassed 1.5 billion total play minutes since launching on May 1. The creator-made Fortnite experience also reportedly peaked at 124,000 concurrent players, with average session lengths over 100 minutes. That is not a cute little side activity. That is a lot of people building droids instead of touching grass. Droid Tycoon Is Not Just a Star Wars Skin The most interesting part is not only the number. It is why the game worked. Future Trash CEO Kevin Marciano told GamesBeat that the team did not simply “port” a Star Wars experience into Fortnite. They built...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes updates are about shards, kits, omicrons, datacrons, and the sacred art of wondering why your opponent somehow took twelve turns before you blinked. But the next SWGOH event is about something a little bigger than the holotable. Capital Games is teaming up with Extra Life for another charity stream, helping raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network. According to EA’s official announcement, the campaign has already raised $87,875 so far, with the next stream scheduled for June 11, 2026, from 2-4 PM PT. That is a pretty solid reminder that this community can do more than argue about turn order. Although, realistically, it will still do that too. Galaxy of Heroes Is Changing Its Extra Life Format The biggest change this year is the format. Instead of one giant marathon event, Capital Games says the 2026 Extra Life effort is...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[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...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For a game calling itself a spiritual successor to Knights of the Old Republic, story is not a side dish. It is the meal. That is why the latest Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic news matters. Arcanaut Studios has reportedly added Tony Elias as narrative director, while sci-fi author Jenny “J.S.” Dewes has joined the writing team. On paper, that sounds like normal development staffing. In reality, for a new Old Republic RPG led by Casey Hudson, it is exactly the kind of update fans should be watching closely. Because if this game gets anything wrong, it cannot be the writing. Tony Elias Joins as Narrative Director According to FRVR, Tony Elias has joined Arcanaut Studios as narrative director on Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic. His past work includes the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Remedy’s Quantum Break, and the cancelled Wonder Woman...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On June 10, 2020, Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge debuted on Star Wars Kids and YouTube. At the time, it looked like a charming little children’s game show. Young contestants ran obstacle courses, solved puzzles, faced temptations from the dark side, and tried to prove they had the strength, knowledge, and bravery of a Jedi. Cute? Yes. Earth-shattering Star Wars lore? Not exactly. Except, with hindsight, Jedi Temple Challenge now feels much more important than it looked. Because this was the first time Ahmed Best stepped into the role of Jedi Master Kelleran Beq. And that changed everything. A Star Wars Game Show With a Secret Legacy Jedi Temple Challenge was built as the first Star Wars-themed game show, with real kids competing through Jedi trials. StarWars.com’s June 10, 2020 feature described the series as a test of strength, knowledge, and bravery, with Best hosting as Kelleran Beq alongside Mary...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[On June 10, 2013, Star Wars gaming changed direction with one snowy teaser, one AT-AT foot, and a whole lot of fan screaming. During EA’s E3 2013 press conference, the publisher revealed that DICE was working on a new Star Wars Battlefront. It was not a long trailer. It was not a deep gameplay breakdown. It was barely more than a Hoth-flavored promise. But after years of waiting, rumors, canceled dreams, and Battlefront III heartbreak, that was enough. Star Wars fans saw the words Battlefront again, and suddenly the galaxy had a new gaming future. EA’s First Big Star Wars Statement The timing mattered. Just weeks earlier, Disney and Lucasfilm had moved Star Wars gaming into a new era by giving Electronic Arts the core console and PC license. LucasArts had been shut down as an internal developer, Star Wars 1313 had become the wound nobody wanted to poke too...]]></description>
