It seems like December 2016 was the month of the fan film and we have another one for you to check out. Survivors, from Cinemage is a film that gets right to the action and suspense from the first scene. You’ll see a chase and a lightsaber fight all within the first minute. It really gets your Star Wars blood pumping to find out what happened and why. Who are the survivors? What are they surviving? Who will win this battle? Honestly, it might leave more questions than answers once you watch it all but personally, I loved how it whets the appetite and makes you want to see more. I hope they keep writing, keep acting, and keep filming. There’s nothing like true Star Wars fans to capture the spirit of the franchise and that’s part of what makes these fan films so much fun to watch. Even when they’re not…

A Look Back At KOTOR 2
In the Star Wars universe, we usually find it easy to see the difference between the Dark Side and the Light Side. Lightsaber colors, clothing choices, and other factors make it clear which side a character is on. This battle for balance between the Dark and Light is part of the point of the Star Wars story. If you played KOTOR 2, however, you start to see for the first time in a Star Wars game that there is grey area. Sometimes it’s not so easy to block a character into one side of the other. KOTOR 2 is the perfect example of this. In this game, the villain is not always so easy to spot. Sometimes the lines between “good” and “bad” are blurred, or difficult to spot. This is something that adds a new, creative, and more interesting element to KOTOR 2, versus KOTOR 1. Sometimes characters are…

Gaming History : Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast – “The Jedi Simulator”
Back before the Disney Era, back before Electronic Arts was the only company allowed to make Star Wars games, there was a series named Star Wars Dark Forces Jedi Knight, staring the bearded wonder himself, Kyle Katarn. And though his age has long passed, let us remember that one day, long ago, there existed something called a Jedi Sim. GaminGHD has a great video that takes us back in time to enjoy a bit of nostalgic video game and Star Wars history. Here’s a great blast from the past, especially as we look at new Star Wars games coming out today and lament the many cancelled Star Wars games that will sadly never see the light of the day. Star Wars Jedi Knight 2 was a first and third-person action game set in the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series. It was available for Windows, the Xbox, and the GameCube and released in 2002….
Should Star Wars Expand its Gaming Horizons?
Star Wars has enjoyed a revitalisation to their franchise with the launch of a new series of films, beginning in 2015 with The Force Awakens. The trend continued with Rogue One which was released at the end of last year, with both movies enjoying great success at the box office with the latter surpassing the $800m mark following its release before Christmas. One of the most prominent avenues of the series’ success has been the fruitful transition of the franchise on to several gaming platforms. Beginning with the Empire Strikes Back on Atari in 1982, two years following the release of the film, the series has gone from strength to strength, and has even spawned several spin-offs in all formats, including shoot ‘em-ups, RPG and action-adventure. Where’s the Star Wars Slot Game? However, for all the success the series has enjoyed across multiple platforms, one area it has not strayed…
Star Wars: Inquisition (A Fan Film)
A rural family’s patience is tested as the Jedi padawan they’ve been hiding for years is putting their family at increasing risk. With their father dead, and their crops not selling, it’s time to decide what to do. Evil comes knocking, and one Jedi finds you can’t hide forever. A coward can’t be a hero. This Star Wars fan film from ThePsychoJellyfish is a good watch. It attempts to bring a deeper story to the Star Wars universe. It comes in just over 13 minutes so it’s a quick watch. It’s a little slow in parts and some of the acting a little stiff in places, but all in all, it’s a great story and it’s produced well. It’s unique, shows the struggles real people would have in this position, and the price that is often paid for trying to do the right thing during a time of war. What happens when…
Cancelled TIE Fighter vs X-Wing 2 Gameplay
What could be better than a Star Wars flight sim? Like most of you, I love Star Wars. I grew up loving Star Wars. There are so many things to love about the films, the characters, the story, and the universe. However, one thing that I loved more than anything else was the flying. As a little girl growing up, I wanted to be a pilot. I worshiped Top Gun and I used to love going to my friend’s house to play Microsoft Flight Simulator. So of course, when I watched Star Wars, I adored the flight scenes. From TIE Fighters to X-Wings to ships made from piles of junk and massive Star Destroyers, I loved them all. I loved in-space fights, races, and even just the typical “boring” flights from one planet to another. You can imagine then, that nothing would make me happier than a Star Wars game…

What is Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds?
Star Wars Battlegrounds is a Classic RTS title that plays like a reskinned Age of Empires title.. and thats ok! CaptainShack jumps into this 2001 RTS and remembers the good old days of PC Gaming. Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is a real-time strategy video game set in the Star Wars universe. It was developed by Age of Empires and Halo Wars developer Ensemble Studios and LucasArts, who also published the game in North America. This Star Wars themed real-time strategy game came out in 2001 for Windows and Mac computers. It was an officially licensed Star Wars game. You can also find it on Steam today if you’re a collector of Steam games (like me). It’s also pretty cheap now. It’s basically a re-skin of Age of Empires so if you’re a fan of those games and also Star Wars, you’ll like it. It also has some mods to help…

Han Solo: A Smuggler’s Trade – A Star Wars Fan Film
You know how I love the fan films and since I just saw Rogue One this week, I have been hungry for more Star Wars video. Fan films and shorts are a great way to get your fix while you await the next official films. Honestly, it’s more than a guilty pleasure because some of these fan-made films hold their own against the official films. So I stumbled across this one and as a fan of Han Solo (who isn’t?), I really enjoyed it. It comes in under 15 minutes so it won’t take up a lot of your day to give it a watch and it keeps with the feel and personality of Solo that we all know and love. There’s not a lot of actors who could pull off Han Solo so well but this one definitely is impressive. He has the look, the attitude, and the entire…
Quick Review: Star Wars: Force Arena
Star Wars: Force Arena isn’t available in the US yet but YodasNews had the great, exclusive opportunity to review it before the North American release and they’ve shared their initial thoughts with the rest of us. As they explain: “We were selected to play Star Wars: Force Arena a few weeks before it comes out in North America. It’s a real-time PvP card game where players build powerful teams from an impressive roster of more than 80 characters from the legendary franchise. In Star Wars: Force Arena, players battle by selecting character cards each with their own distinct skills and abilities.”” I love card games so I can’t wait to have the chance to see this one for myself. It has some really great art, including cards for some of the new characters of Rogue One. It also has several different ways that you can play. You can participate in battles, collect…
