Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has consistently ranked in the top-grossing games on iOS and Android. The Electronic Arts mobile battle game launched 11 months ago, but fans keep coming back and spending money in the experience.

We talked with EA Mobile about how it keeps the title going, which isn’t an easy trick in the $36 billion mobile-game industry. The turn-based role-playing release takes place in a cantina far far away, and it gives you access to all of the characters in the entire Star Wars timeline. You collect the characters and battle other players across the entire galaxy. You get a chance to live out your Star Wars dreams and fight with your favorite light side or dark side personalities.
