Notes on Star Wars news, films, episodes, and characters — translated into SWURPG content you can bring to your table. Reviews, reactions, and concrete game tie-ins.
A working blog about what's happening across the Star Wars universe — new films, episodes, characters, comics, books — with what each one means for your SWURPG campaign. Reviews, reactions, and concrete tie-ins: which species to play, which factions to fight, which ships to build, which encounters to drop into your next session.
The catalog is the canon. The blog is where new canon meets the table.
New species, adventures, Star Wars tie-ins, and game updates — sent when they go live. A couple of emails a month, no more.

The Jedi banned attachment to keep their members from the dark side. But the ban is what isolated Anakin and handed Palpatine his lever. What if the Order had let its Jedi love out loud — Anakin and Padmé, Obi-Wan and Satine — and grown stronger for it?
The trailer for Star Wars: Visions Presents — The Ninth Jedi just dropped ahead of its August 5 premiere. Here's what we know, where we think it's going, and how to bring Lah Kara and her color-shifting lightsabers to your own table.
This week's Character of the Week: Knoggit, a level 3 Ugnaught Tech Specialist with four Expertise skills at +7, a basic cybernetic eye he wired himself, and a story running from the tibanna platforms of Bespin to a New Republic salvage crew.
You know them as Jabba's reptilian muscle. Behind the henchman: five subspecies, a warrior cult of Jedi-killers, and a whole species you can now play.
You know the mask — the spice cartel's calling card across The Clone Wars, Solo, and The Book of Boba Fett. Now play the species behind it.
Star Wars' shark-folk join SWURPG. The galaxy knew them through one Separatist warlord — but the Karkarodon are a whole species, and these eight could all sit at your table.
Order 66 was supposed to end the Jedi in an afternoon. But what if it failed? The gut-punch: surviving the trap forces the Order to become the traitors Palpatine always said they were — the best Clone Wars campaign the films never ran.
This week's Character of the Week: DUM-11, a level 4 Pit Droid Assassin — a maintenance droid built to fix things that got very good at the opposite, and whose whole kit is the strike no one was watching for.
Yoda fought Sidious in the Senate and lost. But what if he'd won? The gut-punch is that beating Palpatine doesn't save the galaxy — it decapitates it. The best campaign setting the prequels never gave us, and how to run it.
This week's Character of the Week: Vaela, a level 5 Nightsister Force Warrior who walked away from Dathomir — an ichor blade, an energy bow, no lightsaber, no order, and a kit that bridges clan magick and the wider Force.
A new species and a whole gated power set: meet the Nightsister and the 20 Dathomir Magick powers — ichor bolts, hexes, brewed poisons, summoned spirits, and the dead raised as thralls. And the one power you can't just pick from the bank.
He fell, lightning-scarred and one hand short — but Star Wars never showed a body. Kicking off a new What If? series with the case that Mace Windu survived, where he could be now, and how you'd bring a survivor like him to your table.
Our first Character of the Week: Yennasha, a level 4 Gamorrean Vanguard with a looted battle-axe, expertise in Athletics and Endurance, and a story that runs from the frozen clans of Gamorr to freelance muscle on the Outer Rim.
The hangar just got bigger. Seven new ships — from Maul's Sith Infiltrator to a wedge-shaped Corellian workhorse — are now in the catalog and ready to build, free, in the Starship Builder.
Grogu took the beskar. But the lightsaber was right there. A 'what if' story — Grogu the Jedi Knight, the quest that would explain his absence from everything that comes after, and how to build him (or your own Tridactyl Jedi).
Mandalorian & Grogu put the Razor Crest back on screen. In SWURPG it's the ST-70 Assault Ship — and you can build and fly your own. Here's the smuggler's ST-70 I made, and how the free Starship Builder works.
Most battle-map tools are paid, locked to a VTT, or won't print. So I built one that's free, needs no signup, and tiles into a real printable map at miniature scale — anchored in SWURPG, usable in any tabletop RPG.
Flipping the rulebook mid-fight kills the momentum. So I built a free, printable GM Screen — three double-sided panels with every table you reach for most. Here's what's on it and how to print it.
I just replayed KOTOR 1 and 2 — still top-5 Star Wars games ever made. While we wait on the remake (and now Fate of the Old Republic), here's how much of KOTOR already lives in SWURPG: the lightsaber crystals, the upgrade slots, all of it.
Took the kids, had a blast. Here's the lore — Lasat, Anzellan, a Hutt speaking Basic, Embo, the Dejarik arena — and how to bring every deep cut to your table.
