Community Transmission - Appearances & Co-Op

INCOMING TRANSMISSION

There have been many battles throughout the Star Wars™ saga and the Battle of Yavin ranks up there as one of the most iconic.

It was a one in a million shot that ultimately led to the destruction of the Death Star. Those involved in this epic battle, and therefore a major blow to the Empire, were rewarded via a Celebration Ceremony within the Great Temple on Yavin 4.

This is the scene of the first two appearances we’ll be talking about today.

THE BATTLE OF YAVIN APPEARANCES

We’ve talked a bit recently about appearances for Luke Skywalker and we currently have a special Timed Quest underway where you could unlock his Farmboy appearance from Star Wars: A New Hope.

Coming this month is another Luke Skywalker appearance and as you’ve probably guessed by now, it will be based around his look from the Celebration Ceremony that took place after the Battle of Yavin, complete with the iconic yellow jacket.

Luke Skywalker, Yavin Ceremony Appearance


Not to be outdone, and as he once said “don’t get cocky kid,'' Han Solo will also be receiving his Star Wars: A New Hope appearance.

The new appearance for Luke will be connected to a special in-game event, while Han's will be classified as Epic and will be available for 40,000 in-game credits or 1,000 crystals. Once the special in-game event has ended, Yavin Luke will also be available for 40,000 in-game credits or 1,000 crystals.

You’ll be able to join the battlefront as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in their Yavin 4 appearances once the “Another Night on Endor” update launches on the 23rd of this month.

CO-OP DEFEND

We’ve received a lot of great feedback on Co-Op since it launched last month and we’re really happy with the response so far. We’re expanding Co-Op this month and with it will come the ability to defend on each of the planets.

  • Kamino: Republic Defend
  • Geonosis: Separatist Defend
  • Naboo: Republic Defend
  • Kashyyyk: Republic Defend
  • Felucia: Separatist Defend


The above appearances and Co-Op defend will be arriving in the Another Night on Endor update, which is due for release on October 23. We’ll be back shortly for some details surrounding our return to the forest moon of Endor, better bring a flashlight.

  • Oh, Luke in the yellow jacket. Nice!

    Last week, I could play CO-OP defend mode for some reasons.

    (The team was divided. :P )

    Yeah, that is good expanding!

    And Another Night on Endor sounds really fun to me.

  • Thank you devs.  I know to most people, this skin for luke seems like a very minor and perhaps unnecessary addition to the game.  However, I find it to be among the most aesthetic appearances in Star Wars of all time and also the most essential.  I am very grateful for these appearances.  In addition to this, the strategy implemented with Yoda’s recovery ability is a very nice and subtle addition to the game that I equally appreciate.


    The current stare of Yodas presence is very rewarding and fair.  It truly reflects the character of Yoda as a wise teacher. I just have to say that I really don’t want it to change unless the nuances could be even further refined.  I find that unlikely however.  The current state seems to be about as refined as it can get and I would place it among some of the finer additions to any game ever.

  • The event to get the Luke skin is supposedly live (play Co-Op as defender 5 times). Usually these events have a challenge that tracks your progress, but I'm not seeing anything.

    Hey @Kanrei13  the event is live since Friday but you need to kill 10 people in Ewok Hunt.

    Saw that Friday (and my farmboy, used only once, is now retired).

    Thursday (and Friday as well) the pop-up before your home screen which usually announces events said otherwise (defend 5 times on Co-Op).

  • Yeees! Now, I got that one!

    For me, it was really hard to find the decent Ewok Hunt lobby. :P

    (That was the true quest.)
