Legendary characters are among the most powerful and sought-after unlocks in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGoH). Unlike standard farmable toons, Legendary and Journey Guide events require you to assemble specific prerequisite teams — often at 7 stars — before you can attempt the unlock event.
This hub collects every SWGoH Legendary unlock guide on StarWars-fans.com, covering required characters, recommended gear tiers, mod recommendations, and battle-by-battle tips. Whether you’re chasing Jedi Master Mace Windu, the recently added Maul (Hate-Fueled), or classic unlocks like Jedi Knight Revan and C-3PO, you’ll find what you need below.
With the April 2026 release of Cassian Andor (Undercover) we have the latest legendary unlock to stir up the SWGOH community and the second unlock of the Era phase the game is currently in. It started with Maul (Hate-Fueled), an Unaligned Force User and Dark Side attacker arrives with a coliseum-related unlock requiring high stars and era levels on your Coliseum squads, and features a kit built around bleed, fracture, and powerful status effects that reward risk and squad synergy. Over the years, Galaxy of Heroes has expanded its legendary roster to include units across the Star Wars canon—drawing from prequel, original, sequel, and Legends storylines that keep longtime players engaged in unlocking and mastering these characters.
