How long does platinum take, and what should I do first?

Use this STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ trophy guide as a planning route. The platinum estimate is 70-100 hours and 8/10 difficulty, with considerable variation from racing skill and random encounters. Arcade Gold times are the hardest requirement. As of October 7, 2026, the trophy roadmap reports 0 missable trophies and 0 glitched trophies, although some duration trophies can unlock late.

Finish the Campaign on any difficulty

Complete all 3 Acts to unlock Champion difficulty. Start on Cadet if you want easier race wins. Prioritize Mystery Encounters for Favors, and begin targeting Sidebets and Rivals in Act 2. Equip Clandestine Aid for your first Act 2 Galactic Gauntlet win.

Win Act 3 on Champion difficulty

After your first Campaign completion, repeat just Act 3 on Champion for Racer of Legend. You do not need to restart the whole Campaign for this trophy. Unlock and upgrade helpful Favors and Parts before attempting it if needed.

Combine Campaign cleanup with Gauntlet mastery

Plan at least 14 runs through Act 2 or Act 3 for the 14 Racer Styles. Rotate unmastered Favors and vehicles alongside each Style. During those runs, finish all 12 Tales of Podracing events and beat all 11 Rivalry opponents.

Beat every base-game Arcade Gold time

Arcade uses preset vehicles and tracks. Learn each route and its build: some trials reward Perfect Landings, checkpoints, Frozen or Cooled effects. Beat Gold in all 50 base-game trials for Big Mystery Racer.

Clandestine Aid can only be used for the Galactic Gauntlet in Act 2. Leaving it until Act 3 means restarting the Campaign and repeating Acts 1 and 2. Whether the 3 extra Deluxe Arcade trials can replace base-game trials toward the 50 Gold times is not confirmed yet. You can complete platinum with the base game; see the STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ Deluxe Edition page before choosing an edition for its extra Arcade events.

How can I reduce the Gauntlet grind?

The Galactic Gauntlet is a three-part Eliminator on Derven Acos, immediately before the final event in Acts 2 and 3. Highlight vehicles, Styles and Favors in the Logbook: Mastered means you have won the Gauntlet with that item.

TrophyWhat must be masteredMinimum Gauntlet runs for that requirement
Racing MasterAll 14 Racer Styles; 1 equipped per run14
United by a Beautiful DreamAll 20 Favors; up to 3 equipped per run7
I Can Fly AnythingLandspeeder, Speeder Bike, Skim Speeder3

These requirements can progress together. The Landspeeder is available by default; the Speeder Bike and Skim Speeder cost 10 and 20 Tuning Points, respectively.

Repeat Act 2 — recommended for cleanup

Restart the Campaign, reach Act 2, win its Gauntlet, then intentionally lose the final event against Kestar Bool. You return to the beginning of Act 2, allowing another mastery run. Act 2 has 4 planets before Derven Acos; Act 3 has 5 and additional story Podracing events, so the Act 2 loop reduces the grind and supports Clandestine Aid.

Repeat Act 3

After completing the Campaign, you can freely repeat Act 3. This avoids a Campaign restart, but each cleanup run is longer and cannot cover Clandestine Aid for United by a Beautiful Dream.

How do I finish the Favors, Rivalries and Podracing requirements?

After satisfying a Favor's condition, speak to the relevant character at the beginning of a planet to claim it. Hibi's Favor comes from speaking to her on the third planet of Act 1. For the three encounter-based Favors, try starting tours with at least 3 Mystery Encounter nodes, including one on the first planet.

FavorEncounter sequence
Racer Roulette — Biddy BlasChoose “All right, you're on.”, then “Quadruple or Nothing.”, then “Let's go, Taxman!” Beat Biddy in upcoming events between encounters.
Underhanded Upperhand — Malis VazoskFirst: “I'll pay double if you don't sabotage me.” for 4,000 Credits. Second: sabotage another racer or your rival for 4,000. Third: sabotage the racers for 5,000 or Kestar for 7,000. Fourth: “You're Hired.” for 7,000.
Second Chance — Katja MoxAccept a handicap and complete 3 planets; speak to Katja for the reward. Accept the next handicap and complete 2 planets, then speak to her again. At the third encounter choose “Fine, take them. I'll prove myself without them.”

For Best of the Best, the 11 required opponents exclude Kestar Bool. Consult STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ characters when identifying racers, then follow this sequence:

  1. Place multiple Sidebets against the same competitor on one planet, starting in Act 2.
  2. Meet them as you leave the next planet; a red cross beside their Sidebet name marks your Rival.
  3. Keep placing Sidebets against them until they challenge you on a later planet.
  4. Win the Rivalry Head-to-Head. Track your wins using each opponent's unlocked vehicle color or your own checklist.

If a competitor is already waiting for a normal conversation with a white diamond icon, they will not initiate the Rival conversation. Exit to the main menu and continue until they are no longer waiting.

For Hail to the Winner, Sebulba, speak to Sebulba on foot from Act 2 onward. Win all 12 Tales of Podracing events; some also require a secondary objective such as wrecking 3 opponents. After a failed event, wait until you meet Sebulba again to retry. The seventh event, Fear and Respect, unlocks Ion Bolt for Speed and Violence.

What build should I use for Champion difficulty?

Champion only refreshes 3 crashes when you start a new planet, rather than refreshing crashes after every event. Favor Field Tests, Podracing Tests, Mystery Encounters and Scrap Dealers, where you cannot lose league tokens or use up crashes. In compulsory races, Standard is safer than Eliminator: even 12th place progresses if you do not wreck out. You still need enough upgrades to defeat Kestar in the final championship; the STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ Shade page covers the racer behind the story trophies.

Ramjet Rider — recommended for the final win

Use a Speeder Bike with Cornering 3, Ramjet 4, Battery 3 and Kinetic Burst 4. Equip Mad Genius for 2 extra crashes, Gadgeteer for extra Parts and upgraded Victorious Loser for Credits regardless of race placement. Focus Parts on Ramjet and Cooled: Surplus Cooling grants Cooled at 8+ Energy, while Ramjet Cooling IV plus Heat Reduction IV is an alternative without that Energy requirement.

Useful abilities are Supercooled Vent or Corrosive Vent, Overcharged Autopilot II, Overtaking Surge II, and Concussion Mine III or Concussive Bolt II. This build favors sustained speed and cooling for the championship.

Tenacious — extra crash allowance

Tenacious provides 1 extra crash and starts with Autopilot. Choose it if reaching the final event safely is your main obstacle; Mad Genius can add another 2 crashes.

How do I clear the remaining awkward trophies?

TargetPractical approach
Surge for 60sStart with Slipstreamer or Clean Racer. Surplus Surging grants Surging at 8+ Energy; Critical Hope or Critical Surging works while 1 Crash remains.
Overcharged for 40sUse Overcharged Autopilot with Tenacious or an upgraded Tech Expert. Add Charging Coils for 30s after a Perfect Start, or Cooling Overcharge with Parts that maintain Cooled.
Afterburner for 60sUse the Afterburner Style with Afterburner Efficiency IV, which burns 200% longer. Fuel Coolant IV while Cooled or Fuel Vortexer IV while Surging burns 300% longer.
Ramjet for 60sDo a Ramjet Field Test, where Ramjet lasts nearly permanently.
Clean SweepUse Cadet and Act 1's 13 events. Finish races on the podium and successfully complete Field Tests; Act 2 has 18 events and Act 3 has 22.
6 Eliminator podiums in one tourFind a route containing at least 6 Eliminators. A Kestar Mystery Encounter can convert half the Standard Races into Eliminators. Use Cadet.
Start Your Engines!Have at least 3 non-Crash Abilities unlocked. Enable Simple Pre-Race Checks and use lower-level abilities for fewer prompts.
Treasures, Treasures!Buy the Scrap Dealer's 3 Parts at 1,000 Credits each in one visit.
Might as Well Buy a New SpeederBuy all 4 Parts at Hibi's Shop in one visit. Remove Faulty Parts first; they cannot be overwritten. Smuggler's Hope discounts one Part.
The Real Soul of RacingConcentrate starting points in 2 stats, then buy or earn upgrade packs to raise both to level 10 during that tour.
Many Special TreasuresUse Concussion Mine, Vent, Shockwave, Status Scrubber, Ion Bolt, Ion Blast, Shield, Autopilot and Surge once each, at any level.
Four Arms Would Be UsefulEquip 4 active Abilities; the additional Crash Ability does not count. Choose new Abilities from packs before upgrades.

For Pride of Gathleon, aim for podiums in most races and fully complete Contracts. Choose easy Contracts: Pre-Race Checks or Ability activations for the Hutt; Redlining or time in last place for the Pirate; high speeds or Double-Overtakes for the Broker. Skip encounter, dealer and Field Test nodes during these rating runs because they do not progress Contracts. One Satisfactory planet is acceptable if all other planets are Excellent.

As of October 7, 2026, the Surge, Overcharged and Afterburner duration trophies may unlock at the start of another event or when the tour ends. For Risk, No Reward, disable Auto-Deactivate Ramjet and let the Redline heat bar fill until you explode. The game uses autosaves only: closing the application to retry works during a race, while finishing the event saves immediately.
