I still remember being called over by one of our Producers to give an early version of this watch. Sat in front of the monitor, headphones on watching intently. It finished and I think the only thing I said was "that was a bit emotional", before hitting the restart button and instantly watching again.

We knew it was going to be our goodbye in some ways, it was a very bittersweet moment.

Then as a studio we went to the cinema to watch Episode IX, they played the trailer before the film started. A fair few members of the Star Wars team certainly had a tear or two at that time.

There are so many stories from the time on the project, of heartbreak, happiness, friendship and hope. The Clone Wars announce at EA Play, embracing our difficult times, acknowledging them and watching what was originally very tough turn into fun memes. I hope one day there's a good forum to talk and share more.

Rest assured that the small team of Rebels working on the game was just as passionate about it as you, and while the team might not be together anymore, I'm confident in saying that the passion and fondness is still there. Good memories for all involved. Thanks for being a part of the journey with us.

Dude I read every single one while I was in high school classes. I would spend an entire class just chatting with the community.

I still vividly remember how baffled I was reading BB-8 and BB-9E as the heroes coming for the age of resistance/FO. I swore it was a joke, and thought they would suck

Flash forward to today, and BB-8 is my highest leveled hero (Maul is my highest villain)

Please tell me you still finished school :x

Not u/Youngling_Hunt but I did the same thing in my first year of high school. BF2 was my favorite game during that time, really helped relieve stress from school and robotics. Now I’m set to graduate high school in late May.

Thank you for all the work you and the rest of ragtag group of rebels did on this game.

A future droid builder in our presence I see!

Great to hear, and thanks for being a part of it :)

Imagining pizza delivery guy shedding some tears in the cinema gets me so emotional right now…

This game will always have a special place in my heart. I enjoyed so many hours of it, especially in 2018 and 2019. I remember one CT drop (don’t know which anymore) you promised and couldn’t deliver because of missing approval. You stayed up till past midnight waiting for it. I don’t remember if you released it at night or the next day, but you postet updates about the situation the whole time. I think that was as frustrating for you as it was for us.

Any CT that didn't go live around 5pm Stockholm time likely had a story behind it. Excluding events etc
