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

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 :)

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

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 j...

Recognise this will no doubt get lost in the flurry of messages people are posting right now but I just want to say that it speaks volumes of the quality of you and your team at the time that a post regarding a maintenance update to a game that ceased development almost 2 years ago now has this many people wanting to leave their well wishes to you and the team. You guys truly left your mark on the Star Wars world in your own unique way and, to this day, I have never seen a CM team as beloved and appreciated as yours.

May the Force Be With You All - all the best on your future endeavours.

Thank you. The community was our spark of hope during our darkest hours. May the Force be with you, always.

That made me smile, thank you. A CM is only as good as the team around them, I was blessed in that department.

Congrats, suffice to say it is quite an achievement.

Would you consider doing the honors and announce the fix here yourself on Monday? CT when?

ONE. LAST. TIME.

No, it's not my place anymore. I've done a Kenobi and gone to sit in some sand somewhere. Not my time anymore, one for Kev.

Hey Ben,

I just wanted to say thank you, for all that you bust your ass for; from SWBF2, to BFV to 2042, and whatever project you'll be on next. I don't know why other community manager, except maybe Vonderhaar, who's been so vocal to their fans... Truly just want to let you know that despite the controversies you've had to be the face of, the communication and passion behind you is just on a different level. I definitely took all this for granted back in the SWBF2 days, and I hope better days are ahead of you and the team.

That's very kind of you to say. Alexa, play "good old days".

I hope everything is going well for you, and all is good? There's not a week that doesn't go by that I don't check in on the sub.

I appreciate you too, as does the rest of the team. More than you probably realise.

You feel old? This week was my 7 year anniversary of working at EA studios. Crazy how time flies. Can't believe I started on Star Wars in 2018!

Do not worry, Ben.

As Master Luke once said: “get up, always get up.”

I hope whatever storm you’re going through, passes quickly. I wish you the best of success and happiness, Ben.

Thanks you. It's certainly good advice from Luke.

I hope you are well?

It's been passed on, but I have nothing more than that I'm afraid.
