These sets were first announced back in March 2025 (see "Starter Sets Incoming ") for a Q3 release. These starter sets are themed after a particular era in the Star Wars Universe and start new players out with a commander character leading a 600-point Recon-level force. The two Galactic era sets, the Galactic Empire Starter Set and Rebel Alliance Starter Set, will hit retail on September 19, 2025. The two Clone Wars era starters, Separatist Alliance Starter Set and Galactic Alliance Starter Set, will head to stores on November 7, 2025. 

The MSRP for each of these starters is up to $99.99 from their originally listed price of $94.99.
