Star Wars: The Old Republic Went Free-to-Play 13 Years Ago Today — A Turning Point That Saved the Galaxy
Thirteen years ago today, Star Wars: The Old Republic made one of the most important pivots in MMO history. On November 15, 2012, BioWare officially launched SWTOR’s Free-to-Play option worldwide—opening the galaxy to millions of new players and reshaping the future of the game forever. It wasn’t just a business model change.It was a lifeline.It was a rebirth.It was the moment SWTOR found its identity. Let’s take a look back at the day the MMORPG changed course and how that decision continues to shape the game in 2025. The Announcement That Transformed SWTOR The original message—short and almost casual—landed with the force of a thermal detonator: “Today we are excited to announce that the global launch date of the The Old Republic Free-to-Play option will be November 15, 2012. This release will be simultaneous across all territories and countries SWTOR is available.” At the time, SWTOR was less than a…
Disney+ Gains 3.8 Million Subscribers as Streaming Stays A Bright Spot
The Walt Disney Company just reported that Disney+ added 3.8 million new subscribers in the last quarter, bringing its global total to approximately 131.6 million. What’s Driving the Growth? For Disney’s fourth quarter, streaming remains the bright spot: while some legacy divisions struggled, Disney+ posted solid net gains and streaming revenue rose around 8 % year-over-year. Reasons behind the growth include: Why It Matters Adding nearly 4 million subscribers in one quarter signals that Disney’s pivot toward direct-to-consumer is working. It offsets soft spots elsewhere—linear TV revenue continues to decline and box office/post-theatrical returns remain under pressure. For investors and content strategists, this reinforces that streaming is now core to Disney’s growth narrative. Challenges & Things to Watch Takeaway In short: Disney+ gaining 3.8 million subscribers this quarter is more than just a headline—it underlines that streaming continues to be the engine of growth for the company. Even as traditional…
Star Wars Battlefront II: Elite Trooper Edition Released 8 Years Ago Today — A Look Back at the Launch That Promised Everything
Eight years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II players who picked up the Elite Trooper Edition stepped onto the battlefront three days before everyone else. November 2017 was a wild moment in gaming—equal parts hype, controversy, and sheer excitement—and the Elite Trooper Edition was right in the center of it all. But for many fans, that early-access window wasn’t just three days of extra playtime… it was three days of pure bragging rights.

SWTOR 7.8 Hits the PTS: Dynamic Encounters Arrive on Dantooine
Update 7.8 has officially landed on the Public Test Server, and this round of testing brings something SWTOR hasn’t tried before: Dynamic Encounters—now live on Dantooine in a brand-new area called the Dantooine Crash Site. If you enjoy open-world chaos, unpredictable challenges, and big-group coordination, you’re about to have a very good time. A New Kind of Content: What Are Dynamic Encounters? Dynamic Encounters aren’t your traditional daily-area loops or timed world events. They’re spontaneous, layered challenges that adapt as players clear objectives. Think “open-world content with momentum,” where your actions directly influence how soon the server unlocks major encounters. On the PTS, this system debuts on Dantooine—specifically in the Dantooine Crash Site, a completely new zone carved out of the surface after an unknown ship plummeted into the environment. The impact has twisted the landscape into three biomes, each with its own hazards and challenges. This isn’t just “kill…
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Turns 24 — The RTS Classic That Let Fans Command the Galaxy
On 13 November 2001, LucasArts launched a game that no one quite expected… yet absolutely everyone remembers: Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Powered by the same engine as Age of Empires II, it mashed up traditional RTS gameplay with the most iconic factions in the galaxy. And somehow, it worked brilliantly. It’s now 24 years old—old enough to vote, drink in some countries, and definitely old enough to remind you that time is a flat circle. But let’s celebrate it anyway, because Galactic Battlegrounds remains one of the most charming slices of early-2000s Star Wars gaming. A Galaxy Built on the Genie Engine In 2001, using the Age of Empires II engine for a Star Wars game sounded like a fever dream. But the Genie Engine turned out to be the perfect canvas: resource gathering, tech upgrades, unit queues, and that classic AOE “attack-move” feel—all wrapped in a Star Wars skin….
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Anniversary Era Kit Reveals (Stormtrooper Luke, IG-90, Inquisitor Barriss, Yoda & Chewie, Darth Vader “Duel’s End”)
CG is celebrating SWGOH’s anniversary with a new-format kit reveal series—and it’s a chunky one. Five marquee units headline the Era of Anniversary, each designed to refresh older squads or supercharge niche teams. Artwork lands as it’s approved; feedback on the format is welcome per CG. Below is a clean, practical breakdown with release notes, must-know mechanics, and team tips. Stormtrooper Luke (Light • Rebel • Support • Leader) Release: Nov 18, 11am PT (Marquee)Intended squad: ST Luke, ST Han, Princess Leia (+ R2-D2, Old Ben for 5v5) New mechanic – Buff Disruption (debuff): Target is immune to buffs until damaged; when it breaks from damage, that unit loses 100% TM. Think “fragile Buff Immunity + Stagger” with real decision-making. Highlights Play notes: Open with Special 2 to layer Stealth, then chain assists to pop Buff Disruption at the right time. Trio mode (Luke/Leia/ST Han) becomes a compact GAC menace….
Star Wars: Demolition Released 25 Years Ago — The Wildest Arena Battle in the Galaxy Turns a Quarter Century Old
Twenty-five years ago, Star Wars: Demolition crash-landed onto our consoles, blending lightsabers, speeders, and chaos into one unforgettable combat experience. Released in November 2000 for the PlayStation and Dreamcast, the game was an explosive mashup of Twisted Metal–style vehicular mayhem and the Star Wars universe — a combination that only the early 2000s could have delivered. So yes, Star Wars: Demolition just turned 25 years old, and it’s time to celebrate the galaxy’s most gloriously chaotic gladiator game. A Galaxy Far, Far Away Meets Vehicular Carnage Developed by Luxoflux and published by LucasArts, Star Wars: Demolition wasn’t about elegant lightsaber duels or Jedi wisdom. This was pure, unfiltered destruction. Players entered an intergalactic deathmatch in various vehicles — from Boba Fett’s jetpack and Speeder Bikes to AT-STs, Podracers, and even Rancors. The premise? Simple but brilliant: after the Galactic Empire banned podracing, Jabba the Hutt created a new spectator sport…
The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art to Open September 22, 2026 — A Dream Years in the Making
After years of anticipation, delays, and more than a few whispers across the fandom galaxy, it’s finally happening: the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will officially open its doors in Los Angeles on September 22, 2026. Founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas and his wife Mellody Hobson, the museum aims to celebrate storytelling across all forms — from classical paintings to modern cinema, comic books, and concept art. And yes, you can bet there’ll be plenty of Star Wars magic inside. A Museum Dedicated to the Power of Story The Lucas Museum isn’t your typical art museum. Rather than focusing on one medium or style, it’s built around a simple but powerful idea: art tells stories. According to Lucas, the goal is to explore how narrative shapes culture — and how art, in turn, tells the story of who we are. The museum’s collections will cover everything from Norman…

Oscar Isaac Says He’d Return to Star Wars—But Only If Disney “Figures Out” Its Free-Speech Issues
When Oscar Isaac last appeared in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, he looked like a man ready to put the galaxy behind him. And now, years later, it seems he really meant it. The actor has made it clear he’s not coming back to a galaxy far, far away — at least not until Disney gets its house in order when it comes to, as he puts it, “free speech.” The Galaxy According to Oscar Isaac In a recent chat on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Isaac opened up about his post-Star Wars outlook and didn’t shy away from some pointed remarks about Disney. When asked whether he’d ever return as the lovable Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, Isaac didn’t dance around it: “I think I’d have to see Disney figure out its free speech problem before I’d consider going back.” That’s about as subtle as a thermal detonator. The comment follows…
Funko Sounding the Alarm: What the Sales Crash Means for Star Wars Merchandise
Collector alert: Funko recently issued a serious warning amid a collapsing collectibles market. In the company’s latest financial disclosure, it reported third-quarter net sales of US$250.9 million, down approximately 14 % year-on-year — with U.S. sales falling nearly 20 %. Even more troubling: Funko noted it has around US$215 million in debt and faces “substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.” If you’re a fan of Star Wars–themed Funko Pops (and yes, you’re reading a Star Wars site — of course you are), buckle up: this downturn has direct implications for the galaxy of Star Wars collectibles. Why Star Wars Funko Pops Are Feeling the Squeeze Star Wars has long been a major driver for Funko’s vinyl business. From Stormtrooper variants to Vaulted Legends, the brand has leveraged the franchise’s vast character roster and passionate fandom to fuel releases year after…
Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card & A Pirate’s Fortune Soundtrack Nominated for GRAMMY
The galaxy just got a little louder — in the best way possible! The Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card & A Pirate’s Fortune soundtrack has officially been nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the category of Best Video Game Soundtrack. This nomination marks another major achievement for Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft’s ambitious open-world adventure that dives deep into the criminal underbelly of the galaxy. The game’s music has been praised since launch for its cinematic scope, emotional resonance, and masterful blending of traditional Star Wars orchestration with gritty pirate motifs that perfectly fit the game’s tone. The score — which captures the tension, swagger, and charm of scoundrels like Kay Vess and her loyal companion Nix — was crafted with a mix of sweeping orchestral arrangements and rogue-inspired rhythms. From the smoky cantinas of Canto Bight to the lawless reaches of the Outer Rim, every track tells a story of…
Minecraft Star Wars: Path of the Jedi Released Two Years Ago Today!
Two years ago today, Minecraft players were invited to pick up a lightsaber, choose their destiny, and embark on one of the most ambitious crossover adventures ever: Minecraft Star Wars: Path of the Jedi. The DLC, developed in partnership with Lucasfilm Games and Mojang, brought the galaxy far, far away to the blocky world of Minecraft — and fans are still talking about it. A Galactic Adventure in Minecraft Form Released in November 2023, Path of the Jedi combined Minecraft’s open-world creativity with the narrative depth of Star Wars storytelling. Players began as young Padawans training on Coruscant under the watchful eyes of iconic Jedi Masters like Yoda, Mace Windu, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. As the story unfolded, players faced missions across Tatooine, Naboo, and Geonosis, battling droids, solving puzzles, and shaping their own Jedi journey. The game’s clever blend of exploration, lightsaber combat, and Force abilities captured both the humor…
Rian Johnson Says Star Wars Fandom Division Is “Part of the Fun”
Star Wars fans have argued for decades — about prequels vs. sequels, Luke vs. Rey, or even the correct viewing order — but according to director Rian Johnson, that’s not a problem. In fact, he believes it’s part of what makes the fandom so special. Speaking recently, Johnson reflected on the passionate, often divided nature of the Star Wars community. “The notion that Star Wars has been this kind of Shangri-La, united fandom, and that nothing could split that apart is false,” he said. “The reality is Star Wars has always been something that has meant different things to different people. And I think that’s part of the fun and the passion of it as fans — arguing about it respectfully.” It’s a statement that feels especially relevant as the franchise nears its 50th anniversary. Star Wars Has Never Been One Thing Johnson’s comments cut to the core of what…

The Witcher 3: Ultimate Erotic Gwent Mod – Turning Every Card Battle Into Pure NSFW Chaos
Gwent was already one of the greatest minigames ever created — a perfect cocktail of strategy, personality, trash-talk potential, and that irresistible “just one more round” energy that rivals gambling culture and even a few Star Wars-themed card battlers. But modders? Modders look at something great and say: “Let’s make it absolutely unhinged.” Enter the Ultimate Erotic Gwent Mod for The Witcher 3, a complete overhaul of every single Gwent card texture in the game — swapping out the standard art for fully erotic adult illustrations created by dozens of well-known 3D and NSFW artists. It’s bold.It’s massive.It’s the kind of project only the modding community would spend weeks assembling. And if you’ve ever wondered what a fully erotic deck in The Witcher 3 might look like, this mod delivers exactly that energy. What the Ultimate Erotic Gwent Mod Actually Does This is not a small tweak. This is not…
Halo MCC: Master Chief’s nude Lap Dance Menu Mod — The Funniest, Most Unhinged Menu Replacement Yet
Halo modders are built differently. Most communities release high-res textures, armor overhauls, Star Wars blaster packs, or esports HUD tweaks. Meanwhile, the Halo MCC community occasionally wakes up and says:“What if Master Chief got a lap dance in the main menu?” And that’s exactly the energy behind the Master Chief’s Nude Lap Dance Menu Mod, a chaotic, meme-powered menu replacement that swaps out Halo’s iconic loading screen with a scene straight out of GTA’s nightlife. Yes, the modder literally walked into a strip club as Master Chief in GTA and thought: “Yeah, this needs to be my Halo menu background.” Halo fans have always had range — but this is a new frontier. What This Mod Actually Does This isn’t a gameplay mod, balance patch, or texture overhaul. It simply: If you boot up MCC expecting a stoic, battle-scarred Spartan and instead see Chief chilling in a club chair with…
