The update plans to replace much of the inherited Starfield content to create a more original Star Wars experience, finishing the main story and adding more faction stories and missions across a vast open world.

The Empire enforces stricter punishment for carrying lightsabers in certain Imperial-controlled areas, increasing the risk and consequences of using a lightsaber in hostile zones.

Lightsaber combat will feature smoother movement, better animations, enhanced blocking, and new heavy attacks to make close-quarters battles feel more reactive and satisfying.

Settlement management now includes enemy raids where bases can be attacked and resources stolen, requiring defense and possible recovery of stolen supplies to keep settlements functional.

New story missions expand the criminal underworld with a turf war between two powerful factions, allowing players to join one side and complete related missions, plus a redesigned galaxy map for better system connectivity.

Bounty hunting becomes a major focus, with figures like Boba Fett and Bossk, a redesigned bounty system, and over 200 Star Wars–themed bounty types with token rewards redeemable for exclusive gear and upgrades.

Version 10.0 introduces a dynamic timeline spanning different eras of Star Wars history, causing planets and missions to change over time and potentially permanently altering locations due to events from the films.
