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…

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 known meta, so we don’t have any decks to add to the snapshot. However, I would like to highlight the winner of…

Also introducing our newest “sponsor” at the end! When the force mechanic was first revealed there was a great deal of skepticism.  A mechanic that has requirements in order to just be able to unlock it and then requires actions and cards in order to actually use it felt like it was going to be…

The largest tournament this weekend was the UK Games Expo in Birmingham, United Kingdom. It featured 156+ players over two days and ended with the indomitable Yehosera taking the title with Qi’Ra Green. There were also a whopping 19 Planetary Qualifiers in locations around the globe spanning five different continents. The results of those events…

This weekend was the first Regional Qualifier event for SWU in Minneapolis, Minnesota with 636 players. Congrats to friend of the site, Wooooo who took it down with Qi’ra/Data Vault! Top 64 While the top 8 results were in line with our existing meta snapshot, there was one deck taking up a large percentage of…

Thanks to our friends at Fantasy Flight Games for sending us a couple spoilers for Legends of the Force to share with the community! We’re pretty happy with this thematic pairing! For those who enjoy video reveals, feel free to click on the video below and get our blind first reactions to the card! For…

Spoiler season is in full swing, and we are hyped for the cards we’re seen thus far. Year two of SWU is shaking up to be better balanced than year one which gives us a flat and wide meta to play in! Here’s some early preview cards that the Rollers are excited about. Jayson’s Picks…

Maybe? 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 leader sides, resource cheating) and ones that not…

Data Vault continues to take the SWU competitive scene by storm winning an astonishing EIGHT PQs this weekend.  Even Admiral Ackbar joined in the fun, winning a 55 person PQ in Torino, Italy!   Is this success coming strictly from the extra 3 starting hit points or has Data Vault forced players to build decks in…

This weekend, Planetary Qualifiers continued at pace, with 25 events happening across the world. As always, you can check out the granular results at SWU Competitive Hub, but the big trend this week was a spike in events won by Han2/Green decks – both ECL and Data Vault. This deck has been around in its…

Friend of the site Mobyus1 invited us on for a special episode of Do You Know Star Wars: Unlimited pitting each of the Rollers against each other! Come watch how we did below. Mobyus1 is always looking for more players to sign up for his game show! If you or someone you know would like…

This weekend, Planetary Qualifiers got into full swing, with 23 events happening across the world. As always, you can check out the granular results at SWU Competitive Hub, but the big trend this week was an overperformance by Rey Data Vault. Last week, we said that we’d be watching the deck after it top 8’ed…

By now you’ve likely seen the new Kanan Jarrus leader who brings some long awaited creature synergy to the game.  There haven’t been many creatures through the first 4 sets, but there have been good ones.  (Krayts can have shields now.)  We’ll take a look at one older creature, plus a couple new creature synergies…

Walter Porgkite here from the top of the flock with this breaking Star Wars Unlimited news.   In a stunning reveal by the Fantasy Flight social media team and presented by Peter Schumacher we now have a first look at the 2025 Convention Exclusive box set available later this year. The chatter around the galaxy was…

This weekend was the first Regional Qualifier in Lille, France. The results are available in detail from SWU Competitive Hub. Sabine/Data Vault(!) took the crown, which came as a surprise for most of the competitive community. The actual list appears similar to some Han2/DV builds that had been floating around in the past couple weeks,…

“When the storm hits, a leader spreads their wings wide enough to shelter the nest.” — Old Ahch-to Saying One of the best aspects of Star Wars Unlimited is the freedom to choose our Leader and how that can make a deck take shape and bring the Star Wars universe to life.  They are not…

Porg Depot previously created the HyPORGeometic Calculator to help determine the odds of drawing cards in specific situations. This tool is primarily for starting hands and chances to draw combos of cards. It can be used for other situations but required a little work in some cases. At a suggestion from one of our readers,…

This weekend was the first major tournament since Jango Fett, Triple Dark Raid, and DJ were suspended- the Sector Qualifier in Richmond, Virgina. The results are available in detail from SWU Competitive Hub. Sabine/ECL took the crown, which is not totally surprising given that its primary predators keep getting banned. All the decks that made…

“FFG needs to grow the player base or this game dies.” – Anonymous Sithposter from an online chat. The internet isn’t generally known for hyperbole(/s), so is the game really stagnant or is it showing a healthy amount of growth?  Whose responsibility is it to introduce more players to the game?  Is growing the number…

Tyler: Today, we’re joined by our guest author, Jesse! @jj_swinsanity A big thanks to Jesse for sharing with us all. We hope y’all enjoy his meditation on joining the SWU community. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Like a lot of you, my Star Wars journey started early—with grainy VHS tapes of the original trilogy, a wide-eyed midnight showing of The Phantom…

Jango Fett has been suspended.  Triple Dark Raid and DJ went as well.  The impact on the Jump to Lightspeed meta was nearly instantaneous with a variety of decks that were non-existent prior to the suspensions making their way to top 8’s. Nobody really knows what the best deck is at this point. Quinlan Tarkintown…

Last week was a big shakeup in the meta with the suspension of Jango Fett, Triple Dark Raid and DJ! We’re here to take a stab at the new meta with those pillars removed. Besides the obvious removal of Jango, we’re adding two decks that were pushed out of the meta by his presence and…
