It feels like it was just a couple of weeks ago that the first Galactic Championship was announced, even though we’ve been preparing for months, and here we are now. The event has come and gone, and the first Star Wars Unlimited Galactic Champion has been crowned. Filip Szkudlarek emerged victorious with his Mother Talzin…
Good morning! While at the Galactic Championship this past weekend, we sat down with Game Design Lead Danny Schaefer and discussed SWU design, balance, and several other topics. Feel free to watch the interview, or read the transcript further below! Justin – What’s up everybody everybody? It’s Justin with the Garbage Rollers. I’m here with…

With only 4 days left until the start of the 1st Galactic Championship, everyone is looking for clues as to what the meta will be. This past weekend provided some glimpses thanks to a number of smaller tournaments around the world. While all of these are small sample sizes, it does give us some hope…
The first Star Wars Unlimited Galactic Championship is about a week away now, and if you are like us, we know you are as excited as a porg at the penny slots. Wide-eyes, wings flapping and one pull away from greatness. To answer the burning questions you’ve all been wanting to know, yes, the full…
The galaxy is in turmoil. Leaders clash, cards get suspended, and somewhere, someone just played a fourth copy of Force Throw without blinking. In these uncertain times, one porg dares to ask the big questions… and then immediately interrupt with a sarcastic follow-up.Tonight’s guest?Comedian. Critic. Porg with a punchline. Please welcome… Jerry Porgfeld. Porg Depot:You’ve…
Legends of the Force has been released, so of course that means it’s time to start wildly speculating on what the next set, Secrets of Power, might bring to the game. ** Small disclaimer up front. This is all entirely speculation and at this time Porg Depot has no advance knowledge of anything coming in…
We hope everyone had a wonderful pre-release/release weekend and got their hands on the Ls they were chasing! With only 11 days left until the start of the 1st Galactic Championship, everyone is looking for clues as to what the meta will be. This past weekend provided some glimpses thanks to a win-a-box and $1K…
When SWU launched, I wrote an article on SWU’s cost curve and how units from that set fit into it. Now that Legends of the Force is upon us, it’s time to expand that series with an examination of Set 5’s cards and mechanics. Let’s have a look at the new mechanics and cost trends…
He’s been called the feathered voice of a generation. A porg who once sang protest songs to a moonlit swamp. Bob Porglyn rarely grants interviews, and when he does, it’s usually to an empty room or a confused protocol droid. But as the Star Wars Unlimited Galactic Championship grows near, the reclusive icon shuffled his…
Today, we’re rolling out our first Meta Snapshot for Star Wars: Unlimited constructed play incorporating Set 5, Legends of the Force. We’re really excited about this moment as it’s the culmination of weeks of work by our team to play and learn as much as we can about Set 5. If you want to skip…
There were a lot of reservations around the new Force mechanic in Legends of the Force when it was first revealed. Would it be too slow? Too restrictive? Too hard to consistently gain the Force token? Thanks to FFG releasing the full set list early, giving everyone equal opportunity to explore the new mechanics before…
Tyler (@DJStormtrooper) — Welcome to the Garbage Rollers Fantasy Draft! We’re taking a gamified approach to making a tier list today by doing it snake-draft style. For those unfamiliar, on their turn, each competitor will pick a card from the existing pool. The card goes onto their “team.” Once everyone has picked once, the order will…
Welcome to the highly subjective, mildly ridiculous, and totally porg-approved ranking of the Legends of the Force showcase leaders based on nothing but their art. No mechanics. No meta. Just pure vibes. Who’s striking the fiercest pose? Who looks like they just walked off a holodrama set? And who may or may not have been photobombed…
Planetary Qualifiers for Jump to Lightspeed are now complete! The final week of results didn’t markedly change the meta. Now that the results are in, let’s take a look back at where we started and see where we ended up. I’m going to be a forgiving to myself and compare against the post-Jango ban version…
The Star Wars Unlimited Galactic Championship is packed with exciting events — but if you’re looking to convert gameplay into a glorious mountain of prize tickets, strategy matters. This guide breaks down every event’s efficiency based on time, cost, and your likelihood of winning. All calculations are based on playing within the rules. That means…
With the release of set 5, Legends of the Force, around the corner, the SWU community is starting to look ahead to rotation. With the release of set 7 in March 2026, sets 1-3 will leave the Premiere cardpool. For those of us who’ve been actively playing with Spark of Rebellion for nearly two years…
Preparing for an event the size of Star Wars Unlimited’s first Galactic Championship can be overwhelming. The prep required can feel akin to the movie Apollo 13 when Flight Director Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris) calls on each department for a go or no-go status required for launching the rocket into space. A daunting…
June is the final month of Planetary Qualifier events for set 4 and there were 16 PQs around the globe this last week. The results of those events were largely in line with the known meta, so we don’t have any decks to add to the snapshot. Next week is the final week of PQs,…

We hope y’all enjoy his guide to preparing for a large tournament like the Galactic Championship! _________________________________ With Sector and Regional Qualifiers in the rearview mirror, all eyes are now on the inaugural Galactic Championship, coming up…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tyler (@DJStormtroooper): Alright crew, welcome back for another episode of the Garbage Cast! Today we’re talking about the full spoiling of Set 5, Legends of the Force, and what it means for SWU. First off, there was some minor controversy around this release. Here’s what showed up on socials: We do know that some…
Extremely recently, my father passed away after a very brief and difficult battle with lymphoma. Watching a family member go through something like that, and the loss that follows, puts things into perspective. My dad always taught me to have fun. It didn’t matter what the thing was, you should enjoy doing it. He also…
June is the final month of Planetary Qualifier events for set 4 and there were 14 PQs around the globe this last week. The results of those events were largely in line with the known meta, so we don’t have any decks to add to the snapshot. I would like to highlight the winner of…
Probably! If you missed Part 1, check it out! Back in January, my colleague Jayson wrote an excellent article about leader design in SWU. If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to do so! To recap, he outlined some common traits that good leaders usually have (solid stats, useful…
With more prestige treatments on the way and another year’s convention exclusive, it’s about time we got to ranking the different card border treatments available in Star Wars Unlimited. S Tier Convention Exclusives 2025 – The only thing keeping these from being S+ tier would be the coloring of the aspect icons. While understandable that…
