Rocket League Joining Star Wars Day With Four Droid Inspired Cars
Has it been a hot minute since you last played, much less thought about, Rocket League? It may not be that long before you will be loading up the game again.
For Star Wars day this May 4, 2023, Psyonix will be offering four separate Droid packs, with decals themed around four of the franchise’s most popular droids. The packs can also be purchased together. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, this is the very first time that Psyonix will do a Star Wars collaboration for Rocket League.
R2-D2 and C3PO need no introduction, being the very first Droids introduced in the Star Wars mythos. Built by Anakin Skywalker as a kid, the two would go on to become companions of Anakin’s children, Leia and Luke, and much later, join up with Rey, Finn, and Poe at the tail end of their adventures.
BB-8, in contrast, is Poe Dameron’s companion, who unwittingly becomes the moving force that brings Poe together with Rey and Finn. BB-8 spent many years fighting with Poe, and would go on to become a brave and loyal companion to Rey as well. BB-8 is also one of the most successful toys in the Star Wars franchise.
Finally, K-2SO may be the least known of the droids, but he may possibly be the bravest Droid of them all. K-2SO is an Imperial Droid, but reprogrammed by Cassian Andor to fight for the resistance. Fans have described K-2SO as C3PO’s darker, more somber cousin, and it’s hard to argue with that characterization.
K-2SO’s imposing, tall frame is contrasted with his sarcastic manner, which confounds even his companion Cassian. However, he proves his loyalty to the Rebellion and his bravery when he sacrifices himself to save Cassian and Jyn Erso.
Now that you know why fans care about each Droid, here are the DLC details on each Droid pack:
