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.

The galaxy just got a little louder — in the best way possible!

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!

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…

Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company Released 10 Years Ago Today – The Gritty Side of the Galactic Civil War

Published on November 3, 2015, and written by Alexander Freed, the novel served as a companion to EA’s Star Wars Battlefront video game — but it quickly became much more than a tie-in. This wasn’t about Jedi or Sith, prophecies or politics.

Star Wars and Adventure – Why We Love Exploring the Unknown
In a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars has captivated generations with its tales of heroes, villains, and uncharted worlds. Ever since the first film premiered in 1977, creator George Lucas has become a cultural icon. This was not only for the epic storytelling and spectacular battles that the movies offered, but more so because the franchise awakened a deeper sense of adventure within us.

Developed by THQ Wireless under license from LucasArts, the game allowed players to command the Republic, the Separatists, the Rebel Alliance, or the Galactic Empire, capturing command posts and battling through iconic…
George Lucas Began Writing The Phantom Menace on This Day 31 Years Ago
A long time ago — well, exactly 31 years ago today — George Lucas sat down and began writing what would become one of the most discussed and debated films in Star Wars history: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. It was October 31, 1994, when Lucas officially returned to the galaxy far, far away, beginning the screenplay that would reignite the Star Wars saga for a new generation. The Return to a Galaxy Far, Far Away After Return of the Jedi closed the original trilogy in 1983, Lucas took a break from filmmaking, focusing instead on technology, visual effects, and family life. But the Force wasn’t done with him yet. By the mid-90s, advancements in CGI — pioneered by Lucas’ own Industrial Light & Magic — had finally caught up with his creative ambitions. Inspired by what ILM achieved on films like Jurassic Park (1993), Lucas decided it was…

What To Do When You’re NOT Playing SWTOR
Let’s face it: no matter how much of a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic you are, there will be times in your life when you’re not playing it. And when that’s the case, what should you be doing with your time? That’s where this post comes in handy. We look at some of the things you can do when you’re not actively enjoying the game. Yes, it might seem strange (the suggestion that there could be something else to do out there), but it’s also worth exploring. Go To A Star Wars Set One thing you could do is go to a Star Wars set (or at least somewhere that looks a bit like it could be a set). For example, a lot of fans make their way out to red-rock canyons in the southwest and hang out like they’re on Tatooine. Don’t worry: the temperature is high…
