We love fan films here. If you’ve been following our site for any amount of time now, you know how much I love to write about Star Wars fan films. There is just something wonderful about them – even the ones that are not so great in terms of quality – that I love. They are charming, endearing, and entertaining. Every now and then, we stumble across a professional-quality fan film that ticks all those boxes and then some. Here is one such video now. Just in time for The Last Jedi, we have an original story of Rey. Want to know where she really came from? How she ended up where she is now? Here’s a fun take on Rey’s origin story that you won’t want to miss. See this video from Working with Lemons “Before there was ever a Last Jedi did you ever wondered how Rey became stuck…

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Classic, 2005) is Still a Brilliant Star Wars PC Game
For those of us old enough to remember the original, Battlefront II might be confusing. You see, there is Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront (way to be original with the names, right?) So what we’re talking about in this post is the old one – the 2005 classic Star Wars: Battlefront 2. It was a great game and this video is going to go over all the reasons why, and how you can try it out for yourself if you haven’t already. Give it a watch and then if you have the system or platform to play it on, go ahead and give it a whirl. “Star Wars Battlefront 2 2005, still a really good PC game. If you’re one of the people who played Star Wars Battlefront 2 this year and you’re jaded or upset with a lack of content, loot boxes, microtransactions and a generally unfair…

The Fallen Knight – A Kylo Ren Origin Story – Star Wars Fan Film
Here we go… it’s time for another Star Wars fan film review. You guys know how much I love these. So, this one is all about Kylo Ren. This film from RZM Productions checks in at just over 22 minutes long and tells us the origin story of Kylo Ren. It has great acting, a great story, and it’s as professional as I’ve seen a fan film come (although it was well funded by the community). If you have not seen it yet, go ahead and take some time to sit down and give it a watch. You won’t be sorry. It is really a unique and fantastic story that leaves you asking more questions. It would be great to see where this same team would carry the story if they had the chance to do so. If you’re sitting around on winter break looking for a great way to pass some…

SWTOR Charles Boyd Interview
ObiRadd ventures down to Austin to question Charles Boyd about 5.6 and beyond in this video from Imperial Army. The video is about an hour long, so make sure you have time to watch it in full before you get started. It’s definitely work taking the time out of your day to listen. You can play it in the background while you’re doing something else if you want, but it’s an interesting interview with Bioware staff from the studio in Austin. If you’re wondering what’s going to happen in 5.6 and beyond, this is going to help you out. So, what did you think?

Revan: A Star Wars Story
Revan is a much more complicated character than most people realize. Revan—renowned as the Revanchist, honored as the Revan, reviled as Revan the Butcher, dreaded as the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Revan, and praised as the Prodigal Knight. This is a human male in the Star Wars story who has been on both sides of the coin. He was both Jedi and Sith in the Mandalorian Wars, Jedi Civil War, and the Great Galactic War. He has an interesting and complex story, ever changing, and that can be hard to follow if you don’t have a good teacher. That’s why I really love this Star Wars Story from The Scoundrel’s Cantina. All of their videos are great, but this is one of my favorite. It takes a complicated story like Revan’s and breaks it down so that even a non Star Wars fan would be able to follow. maybe you think you know everything there is to…
Best Star Wars Games for People on Your Holiday List
Do you love Star Wars games? Do you have friends on your holiday shopping list who love Star Wars and gaming? If so, then this is the post for you. Thanks to the new films, there is no shortage of Star Wars memorabilia happening, but I don’t mind. I love Star Wars so much, it’s great to see it going mainstream once again. I wasn’t all that surprised then, to see that nearly every favorite board game you can think of now has a Star Wars edition. If you haven’t enjoyed any classic board games in a while, this is a great way to get back into it. If board games aren’t your thing, there are plenty of video games to choose from as well. I’ve listed some of the most popular below, but don’t let this list stop you. If there’s more you want, or you don’t see what…
Who Would Win: Darth Malak Vs. Darth Malgus
It’s a story as old as time – who will win? Battling off our favorite super heroes, villains, or even singers and actors is a favorite pastime for many. Star War fans are not excluded from this. We’ve had our fair share of matchups and face-offs here over the years, with the dark side battles being some of the most interesting. Now, we have another one to explore. The Darths are always some of my favorites. In a battle between the Sith Lords, Darth Malak vs. Darth Malgus, who would win? It’s an interesting question posed by one YouTuber and we want to explore it with him. Check out the video below to see the two compared in full detail, and then you can decide for yourself who would reign superior. “Darth Malak, the traitorous apprentice to Darth Revan, the scourge of the galaxy during the Jedi Civil War; and Darth…

Bioware taking actions against SWTOR companion gift exploiters
Eric Musco have informed the players, that BioWare is taking action against the wave of companion gift exploiters. Hey folks, Keep in mind that we try to avoid talking about exploits and action taken against players. However, I know there is a bit of concern about this exploit and its implications on the game so here is where things stand. We have already begun taking action against players, but the brunt of those actions are still to come. As you might imagine, gathering all of the data to understand who exploited and what they did with the money, takes quite a bit of time. Know that over time we will be applying account actions, along with removing a large quantity of credits and other ill-gotten gains. Part of what takes so long is that some players know they are doing something they shouldn’t and so they try to hide it….

Karl Hewitt Paints Amazing Death Star Mural Over 20 Hours (and Records It)
Karl Hewitt painted a Death Star mural for a huge Star Wars fan, and recorded the whole thing (posted in time lapse) for us to see. It’s really, really awesome. The 31-year-old mural artist from Clywd, UK, got what must be one of the coolest jobs ever – to paint a giant Death Star mural. His business, Noo Design Murals, has been at it for about four years. It’s a whole different ballgame from his previous job as a forklift driver. While he’s new to the painting business, his natural talent clearly shines through in his amazing work, and I suspect it will only get better and better with time. Here are some photos of the Star Wars mural from his Facebook page. Hewitt markets his business from Facebook, and you can see more examples of his work there on his page. He does a lot of awesome stuff for kids, a football mural for…
Star Wars: Force Arena – 12/13 Balance Patch

SWTOR Ranked Mission Rewards, 5.6.1, and beyond!
Eric Musco just informed the SWTOR community that BioWare will be making changes to Ranked PvP Mission Rewards in 5.6.1. If you didn’t catch the patch notes for today’s game update, you can see them here. Hey folks, There have been some questions about the bug related to Solo Ranked Missions in that they are not giving anything beyond CXP and Credits. There was actually two bugs related to PvP Missions, but more on that in a second. As of 5.6.1 (coming live soon) Solo Ranked Missions will be rewarding Unassembled Components and crafting materials as intended. This was missed in the patch notes but I did verify that it is fixed in the patch. They still aren’t giving out Season 9 tokens, but that will be addressed in the future. The other bug present in the PvP Mission rewards is that instead of giving players one crafting lockbox which coincides…

Experiencing Star Wars in Real Life
There are plenty of Star Wars fans who don’t just want to get immersed in this franchise by watching the movies, reading the books, or playing the video games. Some of them want to really see Star Wars in real life. This might sound like the sort of thing that could only happen in the far future. People might think that they will have to wait for the sort of holographic technology found in Star Trek, a franchise that is similar to the Star Wars franchise and that is popular with many of the same individuals. In fact, there are ways to experience the franchise in the real and modern world today. Some people will do this by going to the real world locations where various Star Wars scenes were filmed. There are less knowledgeable fans who might think that Star Wars movies were never actually filmed in real locations….
