It’s been 10 years since Star Wars The Old Republic first launched, which of course also means that it has been 10 years since Star Wars Galaxies was shut down.

SWTOR was originally set to celebrate the anniversary with the release of the next expansion titled Legacy of the Sith, but that has been pushed back to February in order to get it more polished for release.

SWTOR players can however celebrate with plenty of anniversary events going on well into the new year.

Pirate Incursion: December 14th – December 21st, 2021

Life Day: December 14th, 2021 – January 11th, 2022

Ten Year Anniversary: December 14th, 2021 – January, 2023

Double XP Event: December 20th, 2021 – January 4th, 2022

Bounty Contract Week: December 28th, 2021 – January 4th, 2022

From the official SWTOR site.

Bringing SWTOR to life meant that the old-school fan-favorite Star Wars Galaxies had to die back in 2011. All was not lost though for the game sprung back to life in the form of the Star Wars Galaxies Legends private server which is celebrating with their own events.

The snow is starting to fall across our galaxy as the wookiee tradition of Life Day approaches. As much as family, joy, and harmony are a part of Life Day, we think if you step back and look at Star Wars Galaxies as a whole, you might find those same values ingrained in the overall culture of SWG as it is today thanks to most of what we were able to experience way back when. It’s easy to forget just how far along we’ve come from where we first started our adventures. For Star Wars Galaxies though, perhaps it’s just how far we’ve come since that adventure came to an end.

Head over to the SWGLegends website to learn more about the celebration.

The September newsletter for SWG Legends is out now, and it’s a pretty big one.

First off, the team talks about the ILM mod that is no longer officially supported by SWG Legends, due to lacking resources on the dev team to keep it updated. You can still run the mod and instructions on how to do so are in the newsletter.

Questions from the community are also answered on a range of topics from the economy of SWG legends to upcoming content and more.

Star Viper content is also mentioned in the newsletter, and although a date has not yet been set, it is being worked on and will feature a new questline, new content, a new Star Fighter, and ship textures.

The next issue of the newsletter is slated for December, so stay tuned!

From February 26th until 28th SWG: Legends will be rewarding players with double XP to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the server.

More details about the event and all the other celebrations can be found on the official site.

In a post titled A Letter From RoarAsh the Project Admin of the Star Wars Galaxies Legends Project, RoarAsh announced that he was leaving.

For now though, It’s time for me to work hard and chase my own dreams outside of SWG:Legends. I will always be the biggest supporter, friend, and fan of this incredible community, and I will look back on the years I have contributed to the project with utter happiness.

In the letter RoarAsh describes his connection with the project and the community, and the team behind it.

Star Wars Galaxies Legends is celebrating its five year anniversary on February 28th, and RoarAsh will officially depart after the celebrations.

Star Wars Galaxies: Legends is bringing Bespin to SWG in the fifth unofficial expansion.

Players can read more about the future of SWG and the City in the Clouds update in the December Transmition.

The community transmission shows several locations that players can visit in Bespin, several from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
