Hello. It’s that time of week again where I explain that it’s the time of week where you read the Star Wars gaming news that I’ve assembled here for you over the past week.
Star Wars gaming news roundup. Read it.

Summer 2016 tournament kits have been announced for all of FFG’s competitive games. And once again we’ll be getting some of the new versions of the Imperial Assault cards that were errata’d a few months ago.
Review site Shut Up & Sit Down have reviewed the upcoming Star Wars Rebellion. We would have reviewed it, but we’re not cool enough to get advanced copies of games yet…
Rebellion, due out at the end of the month, will be having a launch event of sorts. Report your games and see whether the Empire or the Rebellion dominates the map.
There’s also a fancy trailer for the game.
The first force pack in the Opposition cycle has been announced for the Star Wars Card Game and it’s an exciting one.
Ahsoka Tano, and more content from Rebels are making their way into the LCG!
In addition to these announcements, The Forest Moon pack is now available for the LCG. And look what comes with it:
Nexus of Power sourcebook for Force & Destiny has a new preview article showing some of the locations with deep connections to the force that you can adventure to in your RPG sessions.

The free March update has landed for Battlefront, adding two more new maps (one of which is just a modified version of an existing map). Check out the full update notes here.
EA also now has a page on their site detailing all of the free content that has been released for Battlefront so far.
In a future update or DLC we’ll evidentially be getting a Level-Cap increase. Which will be a welcome update.
@Craig_41144 the level cap increase will bring a new 'bragging rights' item to unlock.

Interestingly, something called Hutt Contracts will be showing up in a future free update. Wonder what that could entail…
