Introducing the Hover Brick!

• The Hover Brick counteracts gravity, letting your builds glide effortlessly above the ground. Flip the switch and watch your creations rise!
• Track down The Mandalorian and strike up a conversation. He’ll show you the ropes of the brand-new Hover Brick! Once you’ve chatted with Mando, you’ll unlock your very first Hover Vehicle Guided Build, putting you on the fast track to crafting your own Star Wars-style ride.
• Then it’s time to build, boost, and blast off into your very own galactic adventure!
• You’ll need Durasteel and Plastoid, the essential ingredients for getting your hovercraft off the ground. Lucky for you, the Star Wars-themed enemies invading the Main Island are packing exactly the ingredients you need, so suit up and start farming!

Lightsaber Overhaul

• Three New Blade Colors have arrived! Choose from White, Yellow, and Purple — joining Blue, Green, and Red for a total of six color options.
• Your blade color now reflects how you fight — choose wisely!
• Every Lightsaber now comes with one of three distinct combat styles, each with its own signature attacks and special abilities: Defense (Blue & White) — Block incoming strikes and fight back enemies with devastating counterattacks. Aggression (Red & Purple) — Go on the offensive with relentless combos. Just keep an eye on your stamina! Fluidity (Green & Yellow) — Soar into battle with acrobatic aerial combos and unmatched mobility.
• Craft Your Own at the Rebel Workbench
• Lightsabers are no longer one-and-done legendary finds — you can now forge your own at the Rebel Workbench in Tier 4, 6, and 8 rarities. Heads up: crafted Lightsabers are durable but can break with heavy use, so keep a backup handy!

Hunt for Kyber Crystals

• A brand-new resource has entered the galaxy. Kyber Crystals are the heart of every Lightsaber. Track them down to craft your own.
• What About My Old Lightsabers? All existing Lightsabers, including those gifted by Captain Bravara, looted from Imperial Bunkers, or earned through the Codex, will be converted to Tier 4 Lightsabers with durability. Your collection isn’t going anywhere!
• Power Up with Runes, Lightsabers can now be enhanced at the Rune Forge. Apply Runes to customize your blade and tailor it to your playstyle.
• Arm Your Allies, You can now hand off Lightsabers to your NPC followers. Build a saber-wielding squad and storm the battlefield together!

Kyber Crystals — The Heart of Every Lightsaber

• A legendary new resource has arrived in your world! Kyber Crystals are the key ingredient for crafting your very own Lightsaber, and hunting them down is half the adventure.
• Kyber Crystals come in all six Lightsaber colors: Blue, Green, Red, Purple, White, and Yellow. The crystal you find determines the color (and fighting style!) of the blade you craft, so collect them all to master every combat form.
• Crystals come in Tier 4, 6, and 8 varieties. The rarer the crystal, the more powerful the Lightsaber you can forge with it.
• Where to Find Them: On the Main Island — Take down Star Wars-themed enemies, crack open special chests, and complete event rewards to score crystals during the limited-time event. On the Rebel Island — Battle Star Wars-themed enemies, loot chests, and earn rewards both during and after the event, making this your go-to crystal-hunting spot once the celebration ends.

New Creatures from a Galaxy Far, Far Away

• Porg — These adorable little birdlike critters are as charming as they are harmless. Lead one back to your barn to tame it and add a feathered friend to your village.

• Bantha — Big, woolly, and surprisingly mellow. These gentle giants can also be tamed by guiding them home to your barn, perfect for any farm in need of a Tatooine touch.

• Nexu — This vicious predator boasts bone-crushing jaws, a deadly pouncing leap, and absolutely zero chill. Approach with caution and a weapon.

• Rancor — A towering nightmare of muscle and rage. The Rancor lives for one thing: leveling everything in its path. Bring your bravest squad…and maybe a Lightsaber.

• These creatures will roam the Main Island for the duration of the Star Wars event. Once the celebration ends, they’ll relocate to make their permanent home on Star Wars Rebel Island, so if you want to encounter them on the Main Island, the clock is ticking!

• Any Porgs or Banthas you tame on the Main Island during the event will stay in your village permanently, even after the event wraps up. Don’t miss your chance to lock in these galactic companions while they’re still around!
