We are thrilled to announce that the alpha release of Star Wars: Rebellion 2 is now available!

What is Rebellion 2?

Rebellion 2 is a community-developed recreation of the original Star Wars: Rebellion, rebuilt in Unity, and with support for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This release includes a largely complete campaign playable from beginning to end and numerous quality of life improvements, upscaled cutscenes, improved visuals, and support for 4K displays. 3D tactical combat and multiplayer are not yet available but will come in future releases.

This is an early alpha, so expect bugs, unfinished features, and changes as development continues. Feedback and bug reports are welcome and will help improve future releases.

How to Install

You must own Star Wars: Rebellion or Star Wars: Empire at War: Gold Pack on Steam or GOG. The launcher verifies ownership before downloading game content. You can download the appropriate installer from downloads page. Installation instructions for each OS can be found here.

How to Report a Bug / Request a Feature

Bug reports and feature request can be made here. Note that a GitHub account is required to file a report/request. Alternatively, you can join the SWRebellion Discord channel and post your findings in the #dev-rebellion2 channel.

Thank you to the SWRebellion community for keeping the original alive all these years. We're excited to share this with you!

One of the biggest complaints was not being able to get access to the site until I approved it at the end of each week. Effective immediately, administrator validation is no longer required at signup. Email validation is still required.  We are also requiring linking and/or providing your Discord username when registering.

 If we start to see a large increase in spambots, we will re-enable administrator validation for new accounts. 

2. New social integrations/login methods have been added. If you already have an account, you may associate any of these account integrations (after logging in normally) for future login methods. Instead of using a password at our site, you can use "Sign in with ..."

Account Integration Methods (for login or signup)
-Google, Microsoft, Discord, Twitch, Spotify, Facebook, Twitter

Change Log

• Discord : I have resolved the issues for logging in with Discord and have enabled "Sign up with Discord" as an option. In order to create an account on the website (regardless of what authentication/login method), Discord username is required.
• Twitch : Users can now sign up or login to SWR using their Twitch account.
• Spotify : Spotify users can now sign up or login using Spotify.
• Profile Fields : I have added optional profile fields that you can edit after registration for listing social media and gaming such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Steam, Twitch, Spotify, GOG, Origin (EA).
• Account Validation on Signup: Administrator validation no longer required. Email validation is still required to combat spambots.

First off, I would like to thank our community members who made this website upgrade possible. Our forum and member database has been successfully migrated, thanks to your generous donations.

We have completed Milestones 1 and 2 of this Website Upgrade Project, and the next milestone, (Milestone #3) is important as well to bring some familiarity to our community, by having a custom theme designed for the our Invision Community Suite that is closely matching to our website design at SWRebellion.com.  To do this, we need to raise about $365  ($150 for the deposit, $150 for completion, and $65 for logo work).

I encourage all who can (when you are able) to donate via PayPal to paypal@swrebellion.com. Please make sure to specify in your PayPal contribution in the notes: SWR Website: Milestone 3 and include your member handle/username on the forums/Discord. If you wish your donation to be anonymous, please add *anonymous* in the message and we will list it in our public ledger as an anonymous donation. Only the Executive Team will be able to see the private data.

If you are curious about how our website upgrade project is organized, I have attempted to export our roadmap from monday.com. Since I am on a free plan, I cannot make the actual roadmap board publicly accessible for viewing, but I am attaching a PDF printout that gives you an idea of what it looks like.

If you had an account over here that you have had trouble getting into, you should be able to sign in over there and reset your password. If your email address has changed, please hop into our Discord channel and ping the @STAFF group for assistance.

If you happen on a broken link, please DM me on Discord. We're working on a bug that is the result of the database conversion, so rather than clicking on a topic you see in the main forums index page, click on that specific forum it is in, then select the topic and it will open for you. A minor detail, but we hope to get it fixed shortly.

I am aware of all the spam/bot posts that exist. Going through the slow process of finding and deleting them all. Anyone who wants to assist would gladly appreciate it. Anyone who comes across a non-Guest (a registered user) that is spamming or a bot that became a registered user, please flag that user / report the topic or post in question. This will alert any/all moderators. We can delete all topics by a spammer (other than Guest) all at once. Guests posts have to be deleted manually. The new forums will block and flag future bot registrations and block guest posts.
