The Old Republic: Rescue Mission – (2015) Short Film
What if the only way to be a hero was to become a villain? This short fan film from Torrm Productions will answer that question for you. It’s a fantastic film that really defines true Star Wars fans. The effects, the sounds and the music (featuring KOTOR themes) was all superb. It officially released on October 18th and already many fans are asking for a sequel. The film runs a little over 20 minutes in length so it’s a good quickie you can watch after work or while taking a break. It’s well-acted, the story is on point, and it’s also shot very well. The special effects work is decent too. All in all, it’s a high quality film for what they had to work with. If you have not seen it yet, you absolutely should make some time in your schedule to do so. As far as fan films…

Star Wars Battlefront Helped Me Understand How The Empire Lost On Endor
You may be asking yourself how a military force like the Empire can possibly lose to the scruffy band of rebels. Well one writer thinks it may have something to do with the Imperial dress code. While I’ve only been playing the release version of Star Wars: Battlefront since yesterday, I’ve played enough to dread the forest moon of Endor. Any round played on the planet of Ewoks reverberates with the sound of exploding grenades and flashes with seemingly random gunfire, that’s the Empire’s shiny white Stormtroopers, tromping through the forest, desperately trying to fight an enemy they can’t see. You see grenades arcing in the direction that the mini-map paints red, which indicates an enemy coming towards. Then troopers aim tons of laser fire at the main origin of the red blasts that is coming towards them, just hoping to score a hit. “Here comes the Empire!” the Rebels…
Let C-3PO Be Your Copilot with the Latest Waze Update (Plus Movie Ticket Giveaway!)
Want to add some Star Wars flair your drive to work in the morning? Why not take C-3PO on as your copilot? 3PO, R2-D2, and BB-8 can now be a part of your drive with Waze, the social driving app. Your own personal protocol droid will give you directions, warn you of hazards, and occasionally surprise you with a hilarious line. For example, when I was driving this morning, Waze detected a hazard, and 3PO came on over my radio: “Hazard reported ahead. We’ll be destroyed for sure . . . this is madness!” I laughed out loud. In my car. By myself. When I got home, C-3PO gave me his opinion on my apartment complex in his signature British accent: “My . . . what a desolate place this is.” I had to smile at that one. But he doesn’t just talk when he has something to tell you. He’ll also give you…

Star Wars: Battelfront Patch 1.03 Notes
Star Wars: Battlefront has been patched, and it looks like DICE finally got the general bug fixed… To be honest, this has to be the worst patch notes ever! Was problem x fixed with your general stuff? – nahhh it was some other.. you know.. the thing.. with the bug.. stuff. I have no clue what have been fixed from below patch notes, but the Battlefront forum report Barrage grenades now taking longer to explode, giving targets more time to run clear. “Barrage takes SO MUCH LONGER TO BLOW UP IT’S 100 percent USELESS NOW,” screeched Battlefront forum member Yotsi. “Even spamming across map Barrage does nothing. They did more then nerf it they killed it.” Anyways..
