Fortnite has always been that game where you can be anyone, from a banana with an attitude to the literal Dark Lord of the Sith. But if recent chatter in the community is anything to go by, it seems like players are craving something more permanent—an all-out, galactic Star Wars game mode. The Galactic Call for More Over the years, Fortnite has dabbled with Star Wars events that left players wanting more. Lightsabers, blaster rifles, and even full-blown space battles have popped up during limited-time events. But now, the Fortnite community is raising their collective voices (and probably their V-Bucks) for something a bit more long-term—a Star Wars game mode that sticks around for good. Why? Because who wouldn’t want to drop out of a battle bus straight into Mos Eisley, lightsaber in hand, ready to duel it out with Bounty Hunters and Jedi alike? The events have been fun,…

How Old Is Asajj Ventress? The Life and Legacy of Star Wars’ Fiercest Force-Wielder
If there’s one character in Star Wars who mastered the art of betrayal, vengeance, and looking intimidating while wielding two red lightsabers, it’s Asajj Ventress. A former Sith assassin turned bounty hunter turned rogue Force user with a flair for dramatic exits, Ventress has been part of some of the most pivotal events in the Clone Wars.

EA Layoffs Hit Respawn: What It Means for Star Wars Jedi 3 and the Future of the Galaxy
There’s a disturbance in the Force—and it’s not just another Death Star blowing up. Electronic Arts has quietly swung its corporate lightsaber and laid off around 100 developers at Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the beloved Star Wars Jedi series. Yes, that includes some of the folks working on Star Wars Jedi 3, the next chapter in the saga of Cal Kestis, Force-sensitive poncho connoisseur. And no, this isn’t just another business-as-usual reshuffle. It’s part of a wider EA maneuver that has seen hundreds of jobs slashed across multiple departments.

Book Review: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig – A Bold New Chapter in the Star Wars Universe
The Death Star is dust. Palpatine took a fatal tumble. Vader’s gone full tragic redemption story. And still, things are far from okay. Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath lands us right in the middle of the fallout, the political scramble, and the emotional wreckage of a galaxy that’s seen too many battles and not enough healing. If you ever wondered what happens after the Ewok party wraps up—beyond the confetti and fireworks—Aftermath gives you a front-row seat. This Isn’t the Star Wars You’re Used To Let’s get this out of the way: Wendig doesn’t write like Zahn or Luceno. His prose is clipped, quick, often present-tense, and it sometimes reads like he’s narrating a heist movie rather than a galaxy-spanning epic. That said, it works here—mostly because this galaxy is burning. Aftermath is gritty, weirdly funny, unflinchingly political, and deeply personal. And it’s busy. If you’re expecting a straightforward narrative, you’ll need…

Andor Season 2 TIE Fighter Easter Egg Explained – A Classic Design With a Rebellious Twist
Andor Season 2 has arrived, and while it’s still all espionage, betrayals, and political tension you can slice with a vibroblade, sharp-eyed viewers have spotted something else worth talking about — a very specific TIE Fighter design that’s sending a ripple of excitement across the galaxy. Yes, it’s an Easter egg, but not the kind you need a Jedi’s perception to notice.

Andor Season 2 Is Officially the Highest-Rated Star Wars Title Ever – And It Hasn’t Even Aired Yet
No Jedi. No lightsabers. No galactic prophecy. And yet, Andor has done the impossible: it’s officially the highest-rated live-action Star Wars title ever, and it pulled it off by leaning into something even rarer than the Force — consistent, universal critical acclaim. With a jaw-dropping 98% on Rotten Tomatoes (see for yourself), Andor Season 2 has leapfrogged everything from The Empire Strikes Back (a respectable 95%) to The Mandalorian, and yes, even its own stellar first season, which trails just behind at 96%.

When Star Wars meets manga, things get delightfully weird—in the best way possible. That strange alchemy of space opera and high-energy line art happened once before, and now it’s coming back with a splashy, hyper-stylized Kickstarter campaign: “The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope – The Manga.” Yes, this is real.
