Star Wars: Force Arena Adds Rebels (and technically Clone Wars) Heroes and Villains in New Update

Showing the kind of excellent timing that only a Jedi Master would possess, Star Wars: Force Arena has added a few extremely popular characters to the game in the wake of the announcement of Star Wars: The Clone Wars renewal. The characters may be taking the form of their Star Wars Rebels counterparts, but their origins do lie in the original animated series that kickstarted a wave of new Star Wars fans.

Making the leap to the game are new heroes and support characters for both the Light and Dark side fans, including Ahsoka Tano in her Fulcrum persona from Rebels, along with an older, grizzlier Rex straight out of retirement and ready to do battle. For the Dark Side fans, Gar Saxon has reappeared, along with some Imperial Super Commandos as back-up, ready to hunt down rebel scum wherever possible.

In addition to the new heroes, both Light and Dark side players have gained a new Airborne Support unit, in the B-Wing Prototype and the Tie Defender. Both of these cards will require players to reach Tier 10 (Aurodium Challenger) to unlock, but they seem to be well worth the climb.

Both the heroes and their support cards can be purchased directly from the store for a limited time, so if you want to see Ahsoka and Rex in action together once again, be sure to jump on quick.
