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.

Bring her in alive, for twenty thousand credits. The puck is clean, the money is real, and the Empire wants her breathing badly enough to pay a premium — which is the first thing a careful hunter finds strange.
An assassin is paid to end a life. A hunter is paid to deliver one — alive when the posting says alive. The trade behind the legend comes to SWURPG: the Code, and the tools to work it.
He bled a crystal the night grief turned to heat, carried the red blade for a year, and clawed his way back. He kept the red one. His saber runs both colors at once — on purpose.
There's a valley on Korriban where the Sith buried their Dark Lords. The deepest tomb belongs to Tulak Hord, and someone wants what's inside. The tomb doesn't just hold its treasure — it weighs whoever comes to take it.
A new bestiary faction: six dark-side foes from acolyte to Dark Lord, built to fight together under the Rule of Two.
This week: Taya, a level 3 Devaronian bounty hunter and ace pilot who leads with a smile and closes with a threat. Pilot, Deception, and Intimidation all at Expertise.
Beskar-clad zealots who fight from the sky and catch lightsabers on an iron blade. Five new Mandalorian stat blocks — and jetpacks that finally have real rules.
When a chairman tried to claim their frozen moon, the Talz met him with spears — and won. Meet Star Wars' four-eyed gentle giants, now playable in SWURPG.
Clone Force 99's Marauder just landed in the Starship Builder — an eight-gun Omicron-class attack shuttle — with three new freighters right behind it.
The senator who stopped a war on a frozen moon was a Pantoran. Meet Riyo Chuchi's people — blue-skinned diplomats who win with the truth, because the lie shows on their face.
A pistol, a heavy pistol, a rifle, a heavy, or a long-barrelled sniper — built one part at a time, engraved with a faction crest or your own name in Aurebesh, scuffed up to battle-worn, then fired with a flash and a bang. And it carries into your character as a real SWURPG weapon.
This week: Velerre, a level 4 Fosh Leader who ends feuds instead of fighting them. Vergere's enigmatic species, built as a master negotiator who brokered peace between the Mon Calamari and the Quarren.
Aurebesh is the alphabet you've seen on every cockpit display and cantina sign in Star Wars. Now you can type in English and read it back in the galaxy's own letters — restyle it, and download it as an image for your next tabletop prop.
Your master says you're ready. The Council names the place. You go up the mountain alone — one Padawan, five Trials, and a guide who is a little too kind. SWURPG's first solo module.
Star Wars is officially coming to Dungeons & Dragons in 2027. Here's what Wizards announced at Gen Con, what to expect from the Universes Beyond crossover — and how to run a Star Wars campaign on a 5e-familiar system right now.
Everybody's built a lightsaber in their head. This one you assemble for real — hilt, grip, emitter, crystal — watch it come together, ignite it, and then actually play it. Eleven hilt types, any blade color, and it carries into your character as a genuine SWURPG weapon.
There's a new reference tool on the site: an interactive Star Wars galaxy map with 2,000+ systems placed at their real coordinates. Click a species' homeworld and you land on its page. Here's how it works, and how to use it at the table.
This week's Character of the Week: AR-6, a level 4 RA-7 Protocol Droid Soldier — a diplomatic droid the Hutts rebuilt into a frontline bruiser, and forgot to make any dumber. Eleven thousand protocols, a vibro-axe, and an opinion about all of it.
The Trade Federation's viceroys and senators — bred from the grub to hoard, scheme, and cut the sharpest deal in the room — are now a playable species. A natural face and fixer, though (as the art proves) the kit goes wherever you take it.
Seven new stat blocks let you field the whole Geonosian hive — winged warriors, shield-piercing elites, arena picadors, the reanimated dead, and a Hive Queen who turns a fight into a siege. The rare faction a Jedi party can't just deflect its way through.
The insectoids who filled the arena in Attack of the Clones, stamped out the droid army, and drafted the Death Star are now a playable species — winged, chitin-armored, and armed with their own sonic weapons.
The KOTOR smuggler Revan stole to escape Taris, and the Corellian heavy-hauler that rivalled the Falcon's chassis. Two classic light freighters just landed in the Starship Builder.
Star Wars' Shadow People join SWURPG. Palpatine kept one at his shoulder for years — but the Umbarans are a whole species of dark-adapted schemers, and these seven could all sit at your table.
A survey tender went dark on a lonely lane weeks ago. Her crew is dead, and something is still aboard — patient, cold, and very much awake. SWURPG's first horror module.
This week's Character of the Week: Zallden, a level 4 Codru-Ji Jedi Pathfinder — a four-armed High Republic scout whose real weapon is his read on a room, and who fights with a great blade in his upper hands and a short one below.
Map of the Week rolls on with the ground battle for the shield generator: a three-act encounter through the redwoods of the Sanctuary Moon and into the bunker, Ewok ambush and all. Map, a how-to-run-it guide, stat notes, a printable PDF, and a load-into-the-builder button.
To an Echani, you cannot truly know someone until you have fought them. A silver-eyed people of duelists and bodyguards — the same warriors who guarded a Sith Lord's shoulder — arrive in SWURPG.
They will chase a fugitive across three sovereign borders and dare the diplomats to complain. A rigidly martial people of guards, enforcers, and bodyguards — the wall the party stands behind — arrive in SWURPG.
Kicking off Map of the Week — famous Star Wars locations, built as playable tactical maps. First up: the Battle of Scarif, as a two-act encounter with a running-it guide, stat blocks, a printable PDF, and a load-into-the-builder button.
You know the joke: the guy who tried to sell death sticks to a Jedi. Behind it is a whole near-human species — toxin-proof, uncannily perceptive, and written off before they say a word.
You saw one on the eve of Endor and never learned his name. Behind 'Prune Face': a species of freedom-loving guerrillas who beat the Empire with hand-built slugthrowers.
One of them died trying to save Jabba's skiff at the Sarlacc. Behind Barada: a people bound to the Hutts for 25,000 years by an oath they have never broken — strong, disciplined, and impossible to bend.
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.
