If you’ve ever wondered how much real-world cash you’d have to drop to own a piece of Star Wars history, wonder no more. At a recent Hollywood memorabilia auction, iconic items from the beloved space saga fetched prices high enough to make even Jabba the Hutt raise an eyebrow (assuming Hutts have eyebrows). Medal of Yavin Fetches Starfighter-Level Prices Remember the shiny medal Princess Leia awarded to Luke Skywalker at the end of the original 1977 Star Wars movie? Well, someone remembered it enough to pay a whopping $378,000 for it. Yep, nearly four hundred grand for a piece of space bling. This particular Medal of Yavin is special, not only because Luke wore it during one of cinema’s most iconic scenes, but also because it doubled as a rehearsal prop for none other than Harrison Ford. Clearly, anything Han Solo touches instantly becomes ten times cooler—and apparently way pricier….

SWG Legends Galactic Homeshow Winner March 2025: Vahdreas’ Mind-Bending Energy Temple
Star Wars Galaxies (SWG) Legends has once again delivered something delightfully bizarre in the March 2025 Galactic Homeshow. The winner?

Imagine stumbling into a secret lab run by slightly overambitious scientists on Naboo, and you’re getting close to the vibe here. Welcome to the Energy Temple (Bring a Helmet) Located at Naboo at coordinates /way -5527 3007, the Energy Temple isn’t your average Jedi meditation spot or Sith shrine.

How Old is Han Solo? Decoding the Age of Star Wars’ Legendary Smuggler
When it comes to Star Wars icons, Han Solo ranks pretty high on the list. He’s the fast-talking, blaster-wielding, bantha-avoiding smuggler with a soft spot for rebellions and Wookiees. But as the timeline jumps between trilogies, flashbacks, and sequels, it’s fair to wonder: How old is Han Solo throughout the saga? The man’s been through a lot—Kessel Runs, bounty hunters, carbonite freezing, family drama, and lightsaber-induced tragedy. Let’s break down his age from scoundrel beginnings to his final curtain call. 📅 Quick Reference: The Star Wars Timeline Before jumping into the numbers, here’s a refresher on the galaxy’s timekeeping system. Star Wars dates are often measured in BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (After the Battle of Yavin)—with the destruction of the first Death Star in A New Hope marking Year 0. Han Solo was born in 29 BBY, which puts him a full decade older than Luke…
Replace Your Knife with a Lightsaber in Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023)
What if you could slice through Ganados in Resident Evil 4 (2023) with a weapon that hums with the power of the Force instead of clanking with good ol’ steel? Say goodbye to Leon’s standard-issue combat knife and say hello to a glowing energy blade that looks like it was lifted straight from the Jedi Order’s armory.

Jihad and the Rebel Alliance: A Galactic Struggle Against Oppression
The Star Wars universe has always been more than just space battles, lightsaber duels, and snappy droid one-liners. Underneath the epic storytelling lies a powerful narrative about rebellion, sacrifice, and the never-ending struggle against tyranny. And if that sounds familiar, it’s because it mirrors concepts found throughout human history—including the Islamic idea of jihad. Now, before jumping to hyperspace conclusions, jihad doesn’t mean “holy war” (no, it’s not that dramatic). In its truest form, it’s about striving—for justice, for moral discipline, and for resisting oppression. Which, strangely enough, makes the Rebel Alliance one of the most unexpectedly relatable case studies for this timeless concept. Let’s take a closer look at the parallels—lightspeed not required. The Rebel Alliance and the Spirit of Resistance IThe Rebel Alliance didn’t start as a galactic powerhouse. It wasn’t born in palaces or boardrooms but in whispered meetings, stolen transmissions, and desperate hope. It was messy,…

Jedi Academy Mod Spotlight: Galaxy of Heroes – Dark Trooper (Canon Version)
The galaxy isn’t short on troopers. From shiny Phase I clones to chaotic stormtroopers who can’t hit the broad side of a moisture evaporator, the ranks of the Empire are stacked. But when brute force, advanced tech, and total silence are what’s needed, you call in the Dark Trooper. And thanks to a new mod for Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, you can do exactly that. The Galaxy of Heroes – Dark Trooper mod brings the canon version of this powerful unit straight from the Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes mobile and PC game into the classic Jedi Academy experience.

Helldivers 2 Mod Spotlight: Boba Fett’s Hoverpack

How Old Is Luke Skywalker? A Timeline Across the Star Wars Galaxy
Few names in pop culture are as iconic as Luke Skywalker, the wide-eyed Tatooine farm boy who turned into a galactic legend. But while his journey from moisture farmer to Jedi Master is well documented across the Star Wars saga, there’s one question that keeps popping up: How old is Luke Skywalker at each point in the timeline? Turns out, tracking Luke’s age is a bit like piloting through an asteroid field—but with less screaming and more math. Let’s walk through it. 📅 The Galactic Timeline: A Quick Refresher Star Wars uses the Battle of Yavin (BBY/ABY)—the destruction of the first Death Star in A New Hope—as a central point in the timeline. Events before are marked as BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), and events after are ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). Luke was born in 19 BBY, the same year Revenge of the Sith takes place and…

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game Turns 20 – And Yes, You’re Old Now
Before the open-world chaos of Skywalker Saga and before anyone thought “gritty LEGO story” was a thing, there was a humble, blocky adventure that changed everything. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game was released 20 years ago today, and it’s safe to say the galaxy has never been the same since. It was the game that made blowing up droids into plastic bits a core memory. The one that let players force-push a stormtrooper off a ledge, not for strategy—but for the comedic satisfaction. And somehow, it managed to take the prequel trilogy and make it even more fun, just by adding slapstick and studs. 🧱 A Blocky Beginning to a Gaming Legacy Back in 2005, Traveller’s Tales dropped the first LEGO Star Wars title like a surprise bounty hunter in a cantina. Focused entirely on the Prequel Trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the…

Helldivers 2: Star Destroyer Mod – The Empire Has Entered Orbit
You know what Helldivers 2 really needed? Less diplomacy, more galactic domination. The Star Destroyer Mod does exactly that by letting you swap out your vanilla Helldivers ship for a hulking Imperial Star Destroyer straight from the Star Wars universe.

Whether you’re subtly flexing with one ship or going full fleet, this mod delivers the kind of over-the-top presence that says, “We’re not here to liberate—we’re here to conquer.” Let’s break down what this mod offers, why it works surprisingly well in Helldivers 2, and how to install it for your next planetary liberation mission.
