Meta Snapshot Updates This was week six of Planetary Qualifiers and the meta feels firmly established. We’re not making any changes based on this week’s results. That doesn’t mean there weren’t some spicy winners! El Paso, Texas was won by Maul/Green and New Jersey was won by Cad/Green. A decklist for El Paso was not…
Hello, readers! Isn’t it wild that the Set 3 meta is winding down? Time certainly flies. In the first episode of this series, we talked about how we wanted to keep a sort of historical record for the mechanical additions to the game over the course of its history. Shadows of the Galaxy brought major…
Last month, as the Jump to Lightspeed spoilers started, Porg Depot launched our Porg Value Calculator (aka The Porgulator). This tool may be useful to you in comparing different units in the game and helping to evaluate new cards as they are released. We used this on a few of the spoilers already, with part…
Jump to Lightspeed spoilers have been really enjoyable so far. The set is absolutely going to shake the game up with the new piloting mechanic and an increased emphasis on the space arena. Very much looking forward to crafting decks with the new cards and seeing the impact on the meta game. However, is the…

Meta Snapshot Updates This was week five of Planetary Qualifiers and the meta feels firmly established. We’re not making any changes based on this week’s results. Now, some of you that read us carefully might be wondering why we haven’t added Quinlan/Green back to the snapshot after it won a second PQ in Michigan this…
Spoiler season is in full swing, and we are exstatic about the power level of cards we’re seen thus far. After Shadows of the Galaxy and Twilight of the Republic being a bit underwhelming compared to Spark of Rebellion, Jump to Lightspeed feels poised to break open the meta! Here’s some early preview cards that…
Earlier this month as the Jump to Lightspeed spoilers started Porg Depot launched our Porg Value Calculator (aka The Porgulator). This tool may be useful to you in comparing different units in the game and helping to evaluate new cards as they are released. We used this on a few of the spoilers already, so…
Rotation has become a normal thing in many collectible card games. We now know what this will mean in the context of Star Wars Unlimited. Every March starting in 2026, the three sets from two years prior will rotate out. This means that next year Spark of Rebellion, Shadows of the Galaxy, and Twilight of…
Welcome to the SEVENTH episode of SWU OVER/UNDER, where the GarbageRollers crew tackles various topics related to the game and decides whether they’re OVERRATED, UNDERRATED, or PROPERLY RATED. This format lets us yap about almost anything, and today, we’re gonna throw in our takes to all the various talks of the town. The game is buzzing out there, but how are people…
In an effort to wring maximum joy out of their Star Wars Unlimited cards, Jawa Jeff and Bernie often come up with unique formats for draft and sealed deck. Part of the goal is to mix things up a bit and force themselves to play with unusual cards and to look for unorthodox combos. Below…
BB-8 has a card finally. My 11 year old daughter can rejoice as her favorite character has made it into Star Wars Unlimited. The fact that the card seems good at first glance is a plus. There are a few easy comparisons with BB-8 just due to the deployment cost, power and health. Both of…
Meta Snapshot Updates This was week four of Planetary Qualifiers and the meta feels firmly established. We’re making three changes to the meta snapshot today- two removals and one addition. Two weeks ago, we removed Han/Green from the snapshot due to him not quite meeting the criteria for snapshot inclusion. At the time, we said…
We were fortunate to bump into Game Designer John Leo this weekend at the Dallas Planetary Qualifier hosted at Common Ground Games! He was kind enough to answer our questions, at least to the extent secrecy would allow him! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey, Garbage Rollers. I just got home from a visit to Dallas, which included a…
Tyler: Last weekend was our local Planetary Qualifier at Common Ground Games in Dallas, Texas. Spoiler alert: I won! I’ll take you through prepping for the event, the games on the day, and my final thoughts, but first, I want to thank everyone at CGG for running a great event. It was super smooth with…
Thrawn is diabolical, brilliant and ruthless. He is a tactical genius whose troops follow him willingly, and who will fight for him whether or not he’s watching over their shoulders. Thrawn is a fantastic character both in the legends novels and in his current canon form. It makes sense that Thrawn would be crafted in…
History Card combinations have existed since the very beginning of collectible card games. They simply are two (or more) cards that interact extremely well with each other to create an impact on the game state greater than the sum of their parts. An extremely early example of this from Magic is the Royal Assassin and…
What does it take to make the top cut at a large event? Certainly it takes a good deck. It also takes skill in piloting that deck generally developed via practicing. You need to have a good understanding of not just your own deck but also what the other decks in the meta are going…
Meta Snapshot Updates This was week three of Planetary Qualifiers and…the Garbage Rollers are exhausted. That’s mainly because: WE WON A PQ! Our own Tyler (@DJStormtrooper) took down the 113-player Dallas PQ with Anakin Blue. He’ll have more to say about that tournament later in the week, but for today, we’re only making one change…
Apologies, first off, to our regulars in this space for the lack of a midweek article this week! We’ve had some sick family members, conflicting editorial needs, and all the usual new year challenges. We appreciate your faithful readership! I’ve been having some interesting discussions with some friends of mine (both in and out of…
Earlier this week Porg Depot launched our Porg Value Calculator (aka The Porgulator). This tool may be useful to you in comparing different units in the game. Here’s some of the ones we’ve seen so far from Jump to Lightspeed. Independent Smuggler Calculated Porg Value = 0.25 Piloting is a bit tricky to calculate currently,…
What does it take to become a SWU Content Creator? What’s involved? How hard is it to do and maintain? “To be a successful content creator you have to love the work you’re doing.” -Mike Gemme aka BobbySapphire KTOD Intro Both myself and the others at Porg Depot do not claim to be the best…
Finally, my favorite deck is almost complete! Cad Bane Green. I can’t wait to play, but I have one more big choice. Darth Vader or Maul? How do I choose?? Don’t worry, Sir or Ma’am! Porg Depot has you covered with the all new Porg Value Calculator. Now you can easily evaluate and compare cards…

The battle of the discarders. The Imperial defector goes up against the First Order spy. Bazine comes out swinging as a tremendous round one play, especially if you start with the initiative. Being able to make your opponent discard their potentially only round one or round two play can be a massive speed bump in…
