Greetings to everyone,
The entire Star Wars Universe team joins me in wishing you Happy New Year 2025which brings you joy, success and, as our trekking friends would say, long life and prosperity!
As long-time visitors to the site know, the tradition on SWU is to ring in the new year with a series of content additions starting on January 6, the anniversary of versions 2 and 3 of the site*. Before making way for the new releases tomorrow, let’s look back today at a year 2024 which offered us two live-action series, two animated series, a new video game, a slew of new novels, comics and even more products derivatives!
Add to this fairly dense news the numerous meetings intended for fans, the databases that we are completing little by little, the fan creations in competitions or published, and we obtain a total of 715 news for 2024or almost two per day!
In detail, how are they distributed? The answer in graphics!
Literature, Collection, Community and Television: these are the themes which occupied the most of the site’s home page, and it is quite consistent with the program stated previously!
Now for the analysis section by section.

| Collection
| Surprise, it’s a new collection that tops the site’s charts this year! Uluk’s thematic news on Y-Wings has this honor… Because of the very original guitar presented there, perhaps? Proof in any case that this weekly meeting has found its audience, alongside “unboxings” Hasbro et Lego ads (which we also present Ghost of 13000 pieces! ” href=”https://www.starwars-universe.com/actu-20682-lego-un-ghost-de-13000-pieces-.html”>original pieces)… Even if we don’t just talk about that, far from it ! | SWU
