On The Button (A Star Wars Unlimited Podcast)

Another year, another busted spoiler schedule.  Why does this keep happening?  The boys gather 'round the microphones to talk all things Star Wars Unlimited, starting with the far, far too early release of the full spoiler for Ashes of the Empire (and a repeat of last year's debacle).  Now that it's here, Wes and Ian take a look and highlight some of their favorite things out of the new pool, while the group recaps a recent local tournament that required off-meta leaders.

EDIT:  This episode was updated on 2 June 2026 to include the last ~20 minutes that had been accidentally left out of the original version.

Season 1 has come and gone!  The boys gather to recap some local PQ action and talk about the amazing deck diversity found in north Texas at the recent Carrollton Planetary Qualifier.  While the PQ was going on this past Saturday, FFG did a big data dump on Icons in an effort to try and explain just what the hell the set is to a community that really has no idea.  There's a lot to unpack here, so we give it our best shot. At the last, Trey talks about enabling Skynet to build his next killer deck for him.

Ian is back this week, and a great bit of fan mail prompts a fascinating question for the team: how do you prioritize your time spent on SWU?  Is it building and testing meta decks? Trying your own home brews with off-the-meta leaders? Twin Suns shenanigans with family?  Time is finite, and figuring out what will bring you the most satisfaction out of the game is half the battle.  On other topics, box prices for LAW are holding pretty steady, and the new Twin Suns decks are an interesting addition to that particular format.

With Ian out for... ahem, professional reasons, Wes and Trey muddle on with the business of catching up with what's new in SWU over the past few weeks. The first of two local PQs has come and gone - this one of the premier variety - leaving Wes admiring a surprising deck.  There's plenty to talk about in terms of competitive decks this PQ season, plus preconstructed Twin Suns decks are on the cusp of release, news about Galactic Championship prizing just hit, and an upcoming Sector Qualifier in California all make a splash in this week's topic list.
