What Star Wars: Destiny Gave Me
In middle school, I sort of played Decipher's Star Wars Collectible Card Game.

Defining a Hero: We need The Doctor
Written by David Holland On November 22, 1963, the United States changed forever when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.

How Will “Piloting” Change Star Wars: Destiny?
Ships and space battles are an iconic part of Star Wars lore, to the point that we often associate specific ships with their own pilots - be it Luke Skywalker and his X-wing, Darth Vader's iconic TIE Advanced, or Hera in the cockpit of the Ghost, once the connection between a pilot and their ship is formed, it almost feels strange seeing someone different at the controls.
Way Too Early Analysis: Jedi Trials
Nothing turns the wheels in my head like spoilers for a new set, and the most recent releases are no different. As soon as I see a mildly interesting character, support, or (in today's case) a plot, I run to swdestinydb and start constructing decks.
