Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is Pretty Amazing…
Star Wars Battlefront 2, the reboot of the 2005 game of the same name, was released in 2017 to mixed reactions. Many players were disappointed with the heavy monetization of the game, which included loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics that gave players who were willing to spend extra money an unfair advantage over those who were not. These mechanics were so controversial that Disney, the owner of the Star Wars franchise, stepped in and told the developer, EA DICE, that the monetization was unbecoming of a Star Wars game. Despite the initial negative reception, EA DICE eventually stripped out all of the loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics from the game, and many players now consider it to be “good.” I decided to try it for myself and see what the game had to offer modern audiences. First and foremost, the graphics in Battlefront 2 are absolutely stunning. The attention to…

Star Wars: Squadrons is currently available for free
Electronic Arts doesn’t enjoy the greatest of reputations among Star Wars fans, and there are good reasons for that. When the games developer and publisher gets things right, it gets them very right indeed, but when it gets them wrong, they’re frequently awful. As a fandom, we’ve had some dreadful Star Wars products from EA over the years, but their form has been better thus far in the 2020s. When they released Star Wars: Squadrons at the end of 2020, it was late, but it was fantastic. It was well worth anybody’s money when it was brand new, and it’s still a great game now. We appreciate that not everybody has a limitless budget for video games. There are a few people who won’t have picked up Star Wars: Squadrons when it first came out – partially because they didn’t have the cash and partially because they didn’t trust Electronic…

Greates plot twist of all time
Imagine an entire theater filled to capacity suddenly gasping in unison…then holding their breath as Luke searches his feelings and cries out in anguish. Like when Thanos snapped his fingers in Infinity War….only much, much bigger. And just like nobody knowing what would happen in Endgame, none of us knew if this shit was true or if it was Vader just being a douche. Me and my friends argued endlessly over whether or not it was true. My stepdad (who took me to see all three OT films in the theater,) assured me that they wouldn’t have thrown that shit in there if it wasn’t real, and my older sister kept telling me I was an idiot because…and I quote here…”Darth Vader wouldn’t lie about something like that.” Every time my friends and I were playing with action figures, somebody with a Vader figure would say something like, “Luke has to do…
