Does the Disney Approach Limit the Scope of Star Wars?
Since bursting into public awareness in 1977, Star Wars has been a gamer’s dream. Titles across various mediums have set standards in the gaming world, with fans given the chance to further their own perceptions of the fictional universe in their own homes. The original action figures from the 1980s sell for extortionate prices at auctions, while trading cards focused on Star Wars became so popular that there have been dozens of series produced. However, have these opportunities been dampened slightly since Disney took over the Star Wars franchise? Disney acquired the franchise in 2014 and acted quickly to announce plans to incorporate more elements of Star Wars into their famous theme parks. Other opportunities, though, seem to have been left out in the cold as Disney appear to have become over-protective in their bid to make Star Wars overly family-friendly. Without suggesting that Disney are looking to make Star Wars…
From Sci-Fi to Slots: How the Gaming Industry Fell in Love with Space
A long, long time ago in a galaxy that seems very far away now there were no video games. But in the late 70s and early 80s all that was to change – and sci-fi was the perfect fit for this bright new technology. For many the very first experience of playing a video game that didn’t involve a simple ping pong contest was Space Invaders. This was quickly followed by all manner of games from outer space including Asteroids, Galaxian and Missile Command to name just three of the most famous ones. Since then sci-fi video games have evolved out of all recognition with today’s most popular ones being complex, multi-player experiences that are as immersive as they are great to play. This perennial interest in sci-fi has also caught the attention of the online casino industry with sites like bgo utilizing it as a theme for a number…
Star Wars Dominates Mobile Gaming Market by Covering all Bases
Platforms such as Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad) control the bulk of the mobile market. Chances are, you or someone you know owns at least one device powered by one of those two platforms. No matter which platform you play on, there are a few commonly shared traits. More than likely you are playing using the touch screen only (i.e., not using a bulky Bluetooth controller accessory). You have Internet access either via cellular data or via local Wi-Fi. If you are reading this then you are obviously a Star Wars fan. Being a mobile gamer today and a fan of the legacy in a galaxy far, far away is a good thing to be. The question is, has it always been this good for fans of the story George Lucas started? Star Wars fans have some of the widest choices in games to play. From collectible card games…

SWTOR Roadmap Timing Update from Keith
SWTOR’s new game Producer Keith Kanneg took on the official forums today to provide an update on Game Update 5.2.2 coming mid June, as well as to explain why there is a delay to the promised Roadmap posts. Check it out below: ► Update on Roadmap | 05.09.2017, 04:07 PM Hey everyone, Wanted to provide an update on my first Producer Roadmap, but getting it published is taking longer than I anticipated. Partly my own fault, as my Dad came to visit and I took a few days off over the past couple of weeks to spend time with him. This ultimately slowed my progress but I am back in full swing now and pushing to get the roadmap completed. I honestly thought I would have had the roadmap done and communicated already, but, I realistically need more time to finalize it. Translated: That means end of this month, but with full intention…

Outer Rim Fan Film
You know how we love our Star Wars fan films but here’s one that stretches the imagination to show us what may have been happening to some people amidst the war between the Empire and the rebellion. While the main films focus on the action and all the heroes and villains there at ground zero, here’s a fan film that shows us what some everyday people might have been doing. Truth be told, many people living on the outer edge of the galaxy probably weren’t paying all that much attention to the battles going on. They were likely just going on about their daily business. Director Thomas R. Wood brings us the story of two doofuses who weren’t all that interested in the war going on around them. It’s a fun, humorous little short that’s been called the “Dude, Where’s My Car?” of Star Wars. The two friends are working…
May the Fourth Be With You!
It’s that time of year again! Can you believe it? May 4 marks “May the Fourth be with you”, an unofficial holiday for Star Wars fans everywhere. This is a day for celebrating all the things we love about Star Wars and there are so many wonderful ways to celebrate. You could have a movie marathon and watch all the movies, you could play your favorite Star Wars games, or go on a shopping spree for Star Wars goodies, to name a few. Major retailers like Walmart are having sales on Star Wars merchandise and you’ll find online shops like ThinkGeek doing the same. Another great thing about May 4th is there will be tons of awesome Star Wars deals. For example, Humble Bundle has a killer deal for you today. You can save up to 77% on Star Wars titles like the complete Star Wars Collection, Star Wars X-Wing…
SWTOR Producer Keith Kanneg’s update about long maintenance situation
Keith Kanneg had a rough star as new game producer for SWTOR. Yesterday he had to handle the first majoer issue since he started his job, as the BioWare team had to expand the maintenance window for Patch 5.2.1. Maintenance: May 2nd, 2017 | 05.02.2017, 02:46 PM Hey everyone, Wow, what a day trying to get everyone back in the game! As you already know, maintenance today has not gone as planned. So, I felt it was important to jump in and discuss what’s transpired and what’s going on. First, during our initial validation steps this morning, anyone using BitRaider to update the SWTOR client quickly discovered nothing was actually downloaded. This delayed the opening by about an hour. Second, as soon as we were ready to verify everything was working properly (around 11:30am CT), we found we couldn’t connect to the game and were receiving a Login Server is unavailable message. Unfortunately,…

Disney’s Possible Smoke and Mirrors Campaign
If you’ve followed Lucasfilm/LucasArts in the past, you know they go to great lengths to hide their story and plot when new films are coming out. Some of the crew of the original films even said they never got the full script – only the parts that applied to them – so no one knew the full story. The new films are operating on the same level of secrecy and this means it’s difficult to find anything but rumors when it comes to the making of the films. However, since rumors abound and leaks hit Episode 7 just months before it was revealed, some wonder if Disney is operating a campaign to be one step ahead of potential leaks. So some question the number of leaks coming out now and the potential that Disney could be running their own smoke and mirrors campaign to throw people off track. One of…
