Well, it’s finally official. After decades of lightsaber duels, force ghost cameos, and one unforgettable moment with a carton of blue milk, Mark Hamill has confirmed he’s done with Star Wars. That’s right—the man behind Luke Skywalker is hanging up his Jedi robes for good, and he’s not looking back (unless it’s in a documentary narrated by Werner Herzog, maybe). Hamill’s recent comments during a press appearance didn’t leave much room for interpretation. Asked whether he’d ever return to the Star Wars universe, his answer was crystal clear: No plans. No desire. No more Force ghost cameos. 🌠 Mark Hamill and the End of a Jedi Era Let’s rewind for a second. Mark Hamill first appeared as Luke Skywalker in 1977’s A New Hope, and for many, he became the face of hope, rebellion, and righteous Jedi angst. He helped define the tone of the franchise across the original trilogy…

Some anniversaries quietly. This one kicks down the door with a thermal detonator and demands a side-scrolling boss fight. On this day in gaming history, Super Star Wars (1992), Super Empire Strikes Back (1993), and Super Return of the Jedi (1994) each blasted their way onto the SNES in three consecutive years—setting the tone for what “hardcore Star Wars gaming” would look like for a generation. If you’ve ever jumped over a Sarlacc pit, rage-quit on a lava planet, or been blindsided by a Jawa wielding an unreasonable amount of screen presence—congrats, you were there. 🕹️ Super Star Wars (1992): Where Sandcrawlers Feel Like Death Traps Released in 1992, Super Star Wars took the events of A New Hope and turned them into a side-scrolling gauntlet of lasers, lava, and angry Tusken Raiders. You start off blasting womp rats as Luke Skywalker (pre-Jedi, obviously), then pick up Han and…

Yes, we’re talking peak Jedi Google-fu here. Star Wars: Back On Top of the Search Galaxy So, what’s fueling this meteoric spike in search traffic? It’s not just one thing—it’s the culmination of several events all going supernova at once. Let’s break it down like a lightsaber through a blast door. 1.

Navigating the galaxy in LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is a blast, but if you’re wielding a PlayStation controller and seeing Xbox prompts, the immersion can take a hit. Enter the PlayStation Prompts Mod, a simple yet effective tweak that replaces Xbox button icons with PlayStation equivalents, aligning on-screen cues with your controller.

It finally happened. The ginger Jedi with the emotional damage and double saber flair has Force-jumped his way into Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017). Thanks to modding magic, Cal Kestis—yes, the wall-running, BD-1-having, trauma-processing hero from Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor—is now a fully playable character in DICE’s massive battlefield brawler. And no, this isn’t a janky retexture that makes Rey wear a poncho. This is a full-on, high-quality Cal Kestis mod with the voice, the animations, the swagger, and yes—the lightsaber that means business.

Who Is Cal Kestis, and Why Is He in Battlefront II Now? Cal Kestis might not have appeared in the official Battlefront roster, but he’s quickly become one of the most beloved Jedi characters in…

Grab your Temple Guard and warm up that Relic 9 Mace Windu—things are about to get very Jedi Order around here. The Crimes Against the Republic Era Battle is the latest challenge in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and while the in-game event details were originally, well… slightly off, the devs have released the correct requirements—and they’re no joke. Whether you’re a collector, strategist, or just someone who hoarded Jedi for no good reason, now’s the time to prep your team. Let’s take a lightsaber-sharp dive into what you’ll need to bring the Republic’s enemies to justice (or at least to the loading screen of Tier 7). 🛑 First, a Note on the In-Game Confusion As of now, the in-game event info is inaccurate—but fear not.

If you thought Jedi diplomacy was all peace and calm, think again. Star Wars: Jedi Knights #4 drops us right into the galaxy’s most chaotic crime caper yet—featuring criminal masterminds, bounty hunters, stolen credits, and yes, a Hutt-sized problem. The new issue ramps up the tension in “The Phaedra Gambit,” and the result is part Jedi thriller, part galactic dodgeball match, and all classic Star Wars. You can pre-order Jedi Knights #4 on Amazon here while avoiding the wrath of a Hutt yourself. Qui-Gon, Shaak Ti & Jedi Banking Drama (Yes, That’s a Thing) It’s not all swinging lightsabers and mind tricks. This time, the Jedi are knee-deep in financial chaos. The Galactic Bank of Coruscant has been hit, and the fallout reveals that Senator Bea has been doing some “creative investing” on behalf of less-than-legal clients. The Jedi—specifically Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Shaak Ti—are brought in not to fight,…

Well, well, well—looks like Broadsword just dropped a loot bomb straight into the PvP warzone. As of this week, some of Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Ranked PvP rewards are now being sold for Cartel Coins, the game’s currency. That’s right—items once exclusively earned through sweat, blood, and extremely salty team chat are now just a few clicks (and a few credits) away in the Cartel Market. So, what’s happening here? A reward structure once tightly linked to elite PvP achievements has now been… monetized. Depending on where you stand—casual PvPer, hardcore grinder, or credits-rich collector—this could either be the best news since bolster balancing or the final boss-level betrayal.

There are few things more satisfying than diving back into Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005)—a game so packed with galactic mayhem, it still holds its own nearly two decades later.

This mod brings full controller compatibility, complete with a console-style interface aesthetic, and even works alongside the popular 1.3 Unofficial Patch.

In a world packed with high-speed shooters and nonstop action, it’s easy to overlook the fun and appeal of strategy games. Yet, this type of game still matters. These games make players pause, plan, and think a few moves ahead. They teach patience, reward careful decision-making, and keep the brain sharp. While action games deliver instant thrills, strategy games tend to move more slowly, as you need to think through how to outsmart an opponent or solve a particular puzzle. Strategy games remind us there’s value in slowing down in a world addicted to speed and instant results. Let’s explore why these thoughtful games still deserve a place in our play.

When a developer known for delivering iconic titles like Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor starts using phrases like “morale is at an all-time low,” it’s usually not just hyperbole—it’s the digital equivalent of alarm bells going off. That’s exactly what happened when Respawn Entertainment developer “@witdarkstar” (Dan, a senior-level dev) posted on Bluesky, saying that the studio’s energy has hit rock bottom following a wave of Electronic Arts layoffs. The tweet, simple but striking, reads: “Genuinely think morale is at an all-time low.” Short. Grim. And packed with implications for one of the most creatively influential studios under the EA banner. EA Layoffs: A Galactic-Sized Blow? Electronic Arts, Respawn’s parent company, recently announced a new wave of layoffs as part of its restructuring strategy. These moves included canceling an unnamed Star Wars FPS and cutting back on future single-player content across various teams. The timing couldn’t be…
