A series of miniature dioramas so detailed, they feel like concept art from Lucasfilm itself. Instagram customizer @cunefigures has pulled off something truly impressive: a full tribute to Star Wars Outlaws using handcrafted characters, kitbashed accessories, and bespoke backgrounds. Let’s take a closer look at their latest scenes, which are making waves across the Star Wars collector and toy photography communities. 1.

Behind the Music of Star Wars Outlaws: Crafting the Soundtrack of the Galaxy’s Underworld
Behind the Music of Star Wars Outlaws: Crafting the Soundtrack of the Galaxy’s Underworld If there’s one thing the Star Wars universe consistently nails, it’s the music. Lightsabers clash, ships scream through hyperspace, and somewhere—probably—John Williams’ ghost of inspiration hovers in the background. So when Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws started dropping breadcrumbs about its soundscape, it was time to pay attention. The full story, including insights from the composers themselves, was recently covered in this excellent Thumbsticks article. After all, this isn’t just another pew-pew adventure in a galaxy far, far away. It’s a story set in the morally ambiguous, vibey underbelly of the Star Wars timeline, and the music? It had to match that grit. Scoring the Outlaws’ Playground Star Wars Outlaws is a bold departure from the Jedi-centric epics we’re used to. The story centers on Kay Vess, a cunning scoundrel trying to get by in a galaxy…

Book Review: Heir to the Jedi by Kevin Hearne
A Jedi Walks Into a Bar, But It’s All in His Head A Luke Skywalker Adventure Like No Other (Because It’s First-Person) When someone mentions a Star Wars novel starring Luke Skywalker, the mental image usually includes lightsabers, daring rescues, or maybe some Force-fueled existential crisis. Kevin Hearne’s Heir to the Jedi checks all those boxes—plus adds a bonus: awkward flirting, noodle shop detours, and a whole lot of internal monologue. Released in 2015 and set shortly after A New Hope, this canon novel does something unusual in the Star Wars publishing galaxy—it tells the story in first-person. That’s right. You’re inside Luke’s head for nearly 300 pages, and it’s… well, a ride. Equal parts entertaining, insightful, and slightly awkward, Heir to the Jedi shows us the post-Death-Star, pre-Jedi-Knight version of Luke: a young pilot just beginning to grasp the Force and figure out who the heck he is now….
🎭 Oscar Isaac Bows Out of Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025
In a galaxy not so far away—specifically, Japan—plans are shifting like a podracer in a tight corner. Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 was set to feature an appearance from Oscar Isaac, the beloved actor behind Resistance flyboy Poe Dameron. But alas, the Force (and a busy filming schedule) had other ideas. 🎬 Why Oscar Isaac Won’t Be Touching Down in Tokyo According to a recent update from the event’s official team, Oscar Isaac has officially canceled his appearance at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025. The reason? Filming obligations. Translation: he’s out there somewhere, probably in a galaxy equally chaotic, but more rooted in earthly studio deadlines. There’s no word yet on what project has pulled him away (Marvel? Sci-fi noir? A surprise musical about droids?), but the announcement confirms it’s not due to illness or other personal issues—just work calling at hyperspeed. 💬 The Official Word from Star Wars Celebration…
🛠️ SWGOH April 2025 Update: Forced Client, Bundle Slicing, and Bug Squashing
It’s update time in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and things just got a little… slicier. The April 3rd, 2025 forced client update didn’t just push players into the latest version—it also introduced a shiny new feature called “Slice-a-Bundle.” No, it’s not a cooking mini-game with Wookiees (although, that would be amazing). It’s actually a clever new way to shop smarter in-game—plus a bundle of bug fixes that smooth things out galaxy-wide. 🔄 A New Hope… and a Forced Client Update Let’s rip off the Band-Aid: this update is mandatory. That’s right—no more delaying or dodging. Everyone has been force-pulled into the new client, meaning if you’ve been chilling on an older build like it’s the Mos Eisley cantina, it’s time to download and catch up. But hey, this isn’t just an arbitrary update. It lays the groundwork for future improvements (and probably a few stealthy backend tweaks we’ll only…

No lightsabers. No Jedi. No chosen one storylines. Just straight-up galactic mischief, credits to be earned, and crime syndicates to dodge — or work with. It’s Star Wars with more…
KOTOR 3 Lives (Sort Of): Revenge of Revan Mod Releases First Episode for KOTOR 2
Some stories refuse to fade into the Force — and the Knights of the Old Republic saga is clearly one of them. While KOTOR 3 never materialized as an official release (thanks, corporate strategy meetings), a passionate group of modders has stepped up with something the galaxy has been craving: the first episode of Revenge of Revan, a fan-made continuation built for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II.

A Rocky Start: SWTOR’s Galactic Season 6 Stumbles Out of the Gate
Well, the new Galactic Season in Star Wars: The Old Republic has officially launched—and let’s just say, it didn’t exactly arrive with the elegance of a Jedi meditation circle. Instead, it crash-landed like a smuggler’s freighter with one engine on fire and the landing gear missing.

From confusing mission design to game-breaking bugs, this launch has been… complicated. 🧩 What’s Going On With Galactic Season 6?

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Goes Galactic with Star Wars Mini-Season

Why Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars Finale Still Shines 20 Years Late
The year was 2005. “Revenge of the Sith” hadn’t hit theaters yet, but something else had fans nervously adjusting their Padawan braids. The finale of Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) had just aired — and it was wild, weird, and very, very Genndy Tartakovsky. Now, two decades later, this often-overlooked animated mini-series still slaps harder than Mace Windu at a droid factory. As we mark the 20th anniversary of the series finale, it’s worth revisiting why this short-form, stylistically bold series still holds a sacred spot in the Star Wars galaxy. Whether you’re into the saga’s films, novels, comics, or video games, this bite-sized prequel bridge deserves a second look — and maybe even a few slow claps. A Cartoon Network Star Wars… That Wasn’t a Joke? Let’s go back for a second. In 2003, Clone Wars launched on Cartoon Network as a series of micro-episodes — yes, three-minute episodes…
Star Wars Battlefront’s Outer Rim Expansion Turns 9 – Remembering the First Big Step Beyond the Core Worlds
Nine years ago today, the galaxy got just a little bit grittier, and a whole lot more fun. On March 22, 2016, the Outer Rim expansion was released for Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass holders. It was the first DLC to drop for the 2015 reboot, and it delivered exactly what you’d expect from a galaxy’s sketchiest neighborhood: tight corridors, dirty cantinas, lava pits, and, of course, Greedo. Yes, that Greedo. A Quick Breakdown: What Was in the Outer Rim DLC? As the first major content drop for DICE’s Star Wars Battlefront, the Outer Rim DLC was the testbed for what future expansions would bring. And to its credit, it packed quite a punch. Here’s what players got back in March 2016: It was gritty, fast-paced, and just a little chaotic. And honestly, that was kind of the point. Why the Outer Rim Expansion Mattered The Outer Rim wasn’t just…
