The Galactic Civil War is a core part of the story of Star Wars, and in SWG, it's the best example of what a sandbox game can be. In this Developer Diary, we'll be sharing the full scope of changes that are coming this year to the GCW, why we've decided to pour everything into this update, and why we're excited for everyone to be able to play it.
For SWG Restoration’s four-year anniversary, players share their most unforgettable adventures — tales of triumph, loss, friendship, and mischief that capture the heart of life in our galaxy.

Ba’jur, beskar’gam,Ara’nov, aliit,Mando’a bal Mand’alor-Ke’vencuyani mhi, an.Ba’jur.Instill your knowledge in the Galaxy around you, more importantly the children you raise. As Mando’ade we are required to raise our children as such, but to limit the idea of our education to just our children is foolhardy. Educate those around you, the aruetiise don’t need to know the intricacies of our culture that protect us, but they may still come to understand. We cannot discount the galaxy around us, there are lessons to be learned daily from it and the people who inhabit it. We must not limit ourselves to the ways of war.In supporting our people and our families, we cannot solely rely on the power of our armaments but our minds. Trade is as powerful a lesson, in performing a trade we are always utilizing our greatest resource to support ourselves, our aliit and providing Mando’ade a service. Some of the greatest verd in our history were even greater tradesmen.Take the time to learn your surroundings, the cultures you work with and the people you fight alongside and against. Knowing your friends and enemies is an unspoken conquest that will provide you a far superior protection.Know your body and train it continually, when you lose connection to your sense of self, you have lost your ability to retain knowledge.Never fool yourself into believe you know all there is, that education is no longer important. Education is the toughest of the tenets to uphold, it makes ceaseless demands.Beskar’gam
“You’ve taken your first step into a larger world…” After the Great Jedi Purge, Jedi were rare. And without Jedi actively seeking out Force Sensitives, individuals discovering the Force were even more scarce. For those fortunate enough to recognize their connection with the Force, exploring their ability was an obscure and treacherous path. In SWG Restoration, the Jedi journey maintains this lore. As such, not all characters will become attuned with the Force. For those fortuitous enough to experience an Inciting Incident, their adventure will be just as extraordinary and mysterious as it is difficult and dangerous. Phase I marks the beginning of the quest for Jedi – are you brave enough to take the next step?
To speak the language is one of the very tenets of Mandalorian culture, it’s stated in the Resol’nare that defines every one to wear the helmet of the Mandalorian or walk in the path of the culture. Perhaps you’ve heard the language before, sometimes spoken plainly - other times spoken in whispers. Within some sects, it is believed that the language must be protected as well as our faces. But if we protect our language and hide our culture - then we starve ourselves as we are a culture of adoption, we are not just a race of people. Being a predominately spoken language, Mando’a has a lot of variation in how it’s spoken as contractions and pronunciations with often differ from Aliit (Clan) to Aliit. There are no cases an no real usage for proper grammar consider that it is completely optional. The only keys to remember are verb tenses, and that the word order indicated meaning.
