1400 crystals to make up for data loss does not even begin to cover losses. WATCH OUT!!!!! Had a level 7 HQ and the new update (12-19-2014) came out and all that was lost. Complete gone, start from very beginning. Pretty bad. Anyone that rates this game a five hasn't played more than a day. If you lost your data, how can you rate any higher than a one? Happened on tablet and also on windows phone. I would say get the Facebook going to try and save your account before app update cause you are going to lose everything. Microsoft account is not enough, don't know why they don't offer that feature though. Unfortunately, not interested in Facebook and don't want it in my life. Can't believe they still ask users to rate it.

I am now writing this review after having to restart the game from the beginning 4 times. The gameplay is decent but I'm tired of the app losing my status and forcing me to restart. The first loss cost me a month of work. The third time cost me 2-3 weeks of work. Guess I'm done since the 2nd update in 2 days immediately announces another update and doesn't let me in. Seriously, fix the problem so we can update rather than having to restart.
19 December 2014
I've now been through 4 updates...Each time I've had to restart the game over. I'm not starting over again!!! I'm done!!! PLEASE don't spend money on this app... You'll loose it when they upgrade next. Fun at first, than they upgrade and you loose EVERYTHING and must start over. Waist of time and money.
3 June 2015
Game says to update to continue playing and sends me to a page that does not have any way to update the game. Please fix this. Every time there is an update, something gets screwed up!
24 April 2015
So the people who update the game I figure out do read the complaints, because after the most recent update, other than a new feature and chapter, they decided to make every complaint worse. Still cant watch a replay after 5-10 min, the Empire troops AI suck worse than ever, not moving or shooting, just sitting there to die, and a level 6 rebel can destroy a well fortified level 7 with no strategy whatsoever, just meds and heavies. Game is horribly imbalanced, and super glitch. Seriously one of the worst games I have ever played in my life. -9001 out of 5. If you have any brain at all, please do not waste a cent or second on this pay to not wait 2 weeks for progress, one sided complete bull. I will continue to convince everyone who asks to avoid this game like the plague. Thanks for ruining a once great Star Wars strategy game, and I hope that the force guides all the current developers to a slow and painful demise for what they have done to the franchise.
19 December 2014
Constant loading errors, have to replay the intro after update, because it loses the saved state. Cant connect to my saved game. Once in game it has potential, but its just annoying, having to pray for it to work when launching it.
22 December 2014
games says to update before continuing. no update found
windows 8
updated but wont load....grrrrr
finally loaded update and the whole game restarted. JUNK!
12 March 2015
I am trying to down load this up date. but I can not find it and it will not let me back into my game, great it up dated and I lost my base and are now starting over this is not fair,
12 March 2015
The update is what I've been for the past month! IF you are having trouble updating the game (as I've had in the past) do these steps: go to windows store, go to the side of screen (a toolbar should come up) click settings, click app updates and check the updates to install the update.
19 March 2015
Fun game with the Star Wars universe. What more can you ask for?
12 January 2015
I encourage everyone that was affected by the last update (99% of all the 1 star reviews) to re evaluate their review. Not only was everything fixed but tech support at Disney gave me like a 2000 crystal kicker for my troubles and they fixed the AT-AT's intelligence level making the game complete for me. I love chatting Star Wars with my squad mates as I continually kick Imperial butt. Thanks Disney for recreating that whole Star Wars feel. That 8 year old kid seeing Star Wars for the first time in me salutes you.

Great fun for Star Wars fans. Join the Seahawks alliance.

It's not bad at first, but by the seventh or eighth chapter you're bored to tears waiting literal days for your building upgrades (4 days for a level 5 HQ upgrade), unless you pay Disney money. There are parts of the campaign that the objective is to upgrade your buildings, so you're forced to either wait to play for hours and days or you have to fork over cash, $5 and $10 at a time. Each objective only takes a couple of minutes to beat, but it would take someone not paying anything 2-4 months to play through this game, simply because of the artificial time sinks made to get your money. Also, when playing multiplayer, the matches are horribly mismatched and skewed to favor the person who spends money on their upgrades.
The only reason this game is so highly rated is they offer free crystals within the first 5 minutes of playing it for a rating, which is far long before you realize just how much it's going to cost in either time or money to play it.

Very Casual, intelligent but easy to get into. Like it.
13 March 2015
How do you update? I get a dialog box that says I have to update, but when I click on Update it takes me to Windows Store and NO UPDATE BUTTON?
I have to give this a thumbs down, the game I've been playing for a month Has to be Uninstalled to Update, everything I worked to get will disappear!!!
26 November 2014
hey' guys, if you using windows 8/8.1 just open the windows store, just drag the cursor right downside to show the settings, choose the settings, then choose the Apps Update and choose the apps star wars commander and download, that's it, enjoy! ( actually there's is no update engine in the pop up update button)
23 December 2014
This app is losing my vote fast! Second update in 2 months, lost everything with the last one, trying to be patient with this one (uninstall and start over) but this Windows 8 error is really ridiculous! What a shame, in this day of amazing & extreme technology, the developers can't get a simple update right!
Edit: I have gotten the update...only to have lost all my progress....I have now uninstalled the app and will think twice before downloading any Disney apps in the future.
28 April 2015
I would rate it 5 stars if I could actually make use of the battle replays. As it stands I can't replay any of the defenses I have, and thus cannot modify my base for better defense. That is frustrating in a strategy game like this...further there is a problem currently with chat at squad level. I cannot see anything posted by others and don't know if they can see my posts.
25 November 2014
Wasted three weeks playing then it wouldn't let me play until I updated and would not let me update
16 February 2015
I like this game, but there are so many glitches. I'm unable to replay attacks after the November 2014 update. Han Solo is totally useless now, he can't even take shields down, before an update he was pretty good. Wookies and scout troops sometimes stop and wait for turrets to take them down. Medic droids don't stick with intended hero. Please fix all the problems! This game has so much potential. Buggy 12.19 update won't let me play. Fix the game pease!!!
6 February 2015
I initially wanted to give 4 stars. Enjoyed the game though it is slow with excessively long building times early in the game. I had reached level 5 of when a game update came out. It wiped by entire history and started me back at the beginning. I don't spend real dollars on a game initially. This one will not see a dime of my real coin. Sorry George and Disney - you just cannot wipe a hard earned history with a game update and expect players to stay and pay...
18 September 2014
I am satisfied with this game. Good work.
18 January 2015
Up and running on windows 8 after no update for 5 days. Fingers crossed!!---- if you are using windows 8 you have to open your settings with store open and check for app updates
24 April 2015
WITH THE NEW UPDATE THE ATAT SEEMS TO BE USELESS.TI JUST SITS THERE,TREMBELING.PLEASE FIX.
18 September 2014
Awesomeeeeeee!
3 June 2015
For some reason It seems I can't update. Am I missing something. I have a surface pro2 if that has any significance. I click update in the game and it takes me to the store but I can't seem to find the update button. ????? Scratch that last. I figured it out. Hooray for me.
24 April 2015
Spent $100 on this game and when I updated it starts me all over again! What a waste!
4/23
Did latest update now my AT-AT don't fire and just stand there and die!
28 November 2014
I had problems with update on windows 8. To fix it I went to the app store. Then go to settings (Swipe right of screen). There was an update applications menu. Selected this and it showed the application and the update. It worked for me. Thought it might help others experiencing problem with update.
23 December 2014
New Dec mandatory update . Cannot load game or update. Only sends me back to store.. and nothing.. still wont update after 3 days...
