There is some sad news for long-time Star Wars: The Old Republic fans and for people who have spent years listening to familiar voices across games, TV, and commercials. Ralph Gunderman, who provided additional voices in Star Wars: The Old Republic, has died at the age of 77. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Gunderman died on March 1 at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York from complications of pneumonia, citing a family spokesperson. For SWTOR players, Gunderman was not one of the big headline names on the poster, but he was part of the wider voice fabric that helped make the galaxy feel lived in. His IMDb credits include Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011) among his game work, listing him under additional voices. That kind of credit can be easy to overlook, but in a game as massive and dialogue-heavy as SWTOR, those supporting performances matter a lot. And…

The Mandalorian & Grogu Is Now Tracking for a Potential $100M Opening
The box office story around The Mandalorian & Grogu just got a little more interesting. After some earlier softer-looking chatter around the film’s commercial prospects, Boxoffice Pro’s latest long-range forecast now says the movie could open in the $90 million to $100 million range domestically when it hits theaters on May 22, 2026. That would be a meaningful shift in tone around the film’s launch outlook, even if the upper end still would not put it near the biggest modern Star Wars openings. That is the key thing here: this is better, but it is not suddenly a “Star Wars is back to automatic $150M openings” story. Better than the gloomier narrative According to Boxoffice Pro’s long-range forecast, a $100 million opening would still rank as the lowest Star Wars debut since Solo: A Star Wars Story, which opened to $84.4 million in 2018. The same report notes that The…
Looking Back at Every Star Wars Celebration Ahead of 2027 Ticket Sales
With Star Wars Celebration 2027 tickets going on sale on May 6, this feels like the perfect time to look backward before the fandom charges forward again. We already know the next Celebration is going to be a big one. The event heads to Los Angeles in 2027, and with ticket sales around the corner, the usual mix of excitement, planning, badge stress, hotel panic, and “should we actually do this?” energy is starting to kick in. If you missed the latest update on badge pricing and the on-sale date, we already broke that down in our guide to Star Wars Celebration 2027 tickets, prices, and the May 6 on-sale date. But before everyone starts refreshing ticket pages and wrecking their budgets, it is worth taking a step back and remembering just how long and strange the road to Celebration 2027 has actually been. This article is also built around…
Burger King Is Getting a Mandalorian & Grogu Menu on May the 4th
Fast-food Star Wars promotions are usually a little chaotic by design, but Burger King’s new The Mandalorian & Grogu tie-in actually sounds like it knows exactly what kind of chaos it wants. Burger King has officially announced a limited-time menu launching May 4 at participating U.S. locations to celebrate the upcoming movie, which hits theaters on May 22, 2026. And yes, the menu names are doing a lot. According to Burger King’s official announcement, the lineup includes the BBQ Bounty Whopper, Grogu’s Blue Cookie Shake, Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries, and Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots. The chain is also rolling out four collectible cups, available with select purchases including the Bounty Bundle, the BBQ Bounty Whopper Combo, and the 12-piece Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fry Combo. The actual menu is very Star Wars-branded in the best possible way The most obvious headliner is the BBQ Bounty Whopper, which Burger King says comes…
One Year Ago Today, Star Wars Zero Company Finally Broke Cover
A year ago today, Star Wars finally pulled the tarp off one of its most intriguing game reveals in years. On April 19, 2025, Star Wars Zero Company was officially revealed at Star Wars Celebration Japan, with Lucasfilm and EA dropping the first announce trailer and confirming the game as a single-player turn-based tactics title from Bit Reactor, made in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The official announcement also confirmed releases for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. That made the reveal feel important right away. Not just because Star Wars got another new game, but because it got a very specific kind of game. Zero Company was pitched as a gritty Clone Wars-era tactics experience, putting players in command of a ragtag squad during one of the galaxy’s ugliest stretches of war. StarWars.com’s reveal coverage described it as a perspective on the Clone Wars…
All LGBTQ+ Characters in Star Wars: The Galaxy Is Gayer Than the Empire Would Like
For a franchise that began with desert monks, family trauma, and a man in black breathing like a broken vacuum cleaner, Star Wars took its sweet time getting openly LGBTQ+ characters onto the page and screen. For years, the galaxy far, far away was full of subtext, coding, and “well, if you squint at this interview from 1983…” energy. But canon eventually stopped being coy. Comics, novels, games, and live-action series started putting queer characters front and center — not as trivia, not as a wink, but as actual people with actual relationships, desires, identities, and messy lives. Which, honestly, is the most Star Wars thing possible. Nobody in this franchise gets to be uncomplicated. A quick note before we jump to hyperspace: this article focuses on confirmed canon LGBTQ+ characters, not fan readings, not “maybe implied,” and not every background extra who appeared in one panel of a comic…
The Maul Gap: Why Shadow Lord’s 18 BBY Setting Matters
For a Star Wars show built around one of the franchise’s angriest survivors, Maul: Shadow Lord picked a very smart place to land. The series is set in 18 BBY, about a year after Revenge of the Sith and the fall of the Republic. That alone makes it more than just another “Maul is back” project. It drops him into one of the ugliest, most unstable corners of the timeline: the moment when the Jedi are broken, the Empire is tightening its grip, and the galaxy is still trying to figure out what just happened. GamesRadar and Fantha Tracks both place the series in 18 BBY, while official Star Wars material describes the show as following Maul after The Clone Wars as he tries to rebuild his criminal power. That matters because Maul’s story has always had a weirdly large hole in the middle. We know who he was in…
The Phantom Menace Hits Different Now
For years, The Phantom Menace was the Star Wars movie people mocked for opening with trade disputes, a blockade, and Senate paralysis instead of immediately throwing everyone into glorious space chaos. The phrase “taxation of trade routes” became shorthand for everything critics thought was too dry, too political, or too weirdly procedural about Episode I. But in 2026, with the Strait of Hormuz back in the headlines and global shipping suddenly looking fragile again, that setup feels a lot less silly than it used to. That does not mean George Lucas “predicted Iran” in some literal fortune-teller sense. It means he understood something a lot of people still underestimate: trade chokepoints are power. Blockades are power. Slow, compromised political institutions are power. And when those things collide, what sounds boring on paper can become the spark for a much bigger crisis. That is basically the entire engine of The Phantom…
Kenshi Gets a Star Wars Horror Twist with Death Troopers Overhaul
There are Star Wars mods, and then there are Star Wars mods that look at the galaxy far, far away and decide it needs a lot more panic, infection, and bad decisions in the dark. That is pretty much the vibe behind Death Troopers Overhaul, a new Kenshi mod built on top of Project Kathun, and it goes hard in a very specific direction: full-on survival horror inside one of the bleakest sandbox RPGs ever made. Which, honestly, sounds like a disturbingly good match. Instead of just dropping in a few themed enemies and calling it a day, this mod aims to reshape the world into a nightmare version of Project Kathun inspired by Death Troopers. The setup is simple and grim in the best possible way. Rather than escaping, the infected from the story crash on the moon of Kathun. With Rebels and Imperials already fighting across the world…
Star Wars Eclipse May Have Finished Chunks — But the Bigger Problem Sounds a Lot Less Glamorous
There are few Star Wars games better at looking alive while saying almost nothing than Star Wars Eclipse. The reveal trailer still has juice. The High Republic setting is still a smart hook. The pitch still sounds expensive in all the right ways. But the latest reporting makes the actual state of the game sound a lot less like “quietly cooking” and a lot more like “beautifully parked with the engine running.” According to Insider Gaming’s new report on Star Wars Eclipse, development has been “very slow going,” with one source saying there has been “very little progress over months.” That is the kind of update that lands with a thud, because this is not some tiny project nobody remembers. This is the big Quantic Dream and Lucasfilm Games collaboration that was sold as an intricately branching High Republic action-adventure with multiple playable characters, major choices, and a story that…
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Released 4 Years Ago Today
The biggest LEGO Star Wars swing in years LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga released on April 5, 2022, which means the game turns four years old today. That may not sound like a huge milestone on paper, but in Star Wars gaming terms, this one still stands out. It was not just another LEGO tie-in. It was the moment TT Games tried to cram the entire nine-film Skywalker story into one oversized, brick-built package. And somehow, against all odds, it mostly pulled it off. One game, nine films, and a mountain of content What made The Skywalker Saga feel bigger than earlier LEGO Star Wars games was not just the obvious “all nine movies” hook. It was the scale of the thing. This was a game built to feel massive, with explorable planets, updated combat, a huge playable roster, and enough side content to keep completionists busy long after…
How StarWars.com Changed Over the Years, According to the Wayback Machine
If you’ve ever wanted proof that the internet used to look like it was held together by duct tape, optimism, and a lot of beige, the best place to start is the Wayback Machine That archive is basically a time machine for the web, and when you run StarWars.com through it, you’re not just looking at old homepage designs. You’re watching Star Wars learn how to exist online. Over the years, the official site went from a pretty modest promo page into a full-blown franchise mothership packed with news, videos, Databank entries, Disney+ tie-ins, games, and enough navigation tabs to make a 1998 modem cry. The fun part is that the changes on StarWars.com don’t just reflect web design trends. They track the changing priorities of Star Wars itself. In one era, the site was all about movie hype. In another, it became a fan hub. Later, it shifted into…
Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) Mod: Female Clones — Yes, It’s Their Turn to Go to War

What the mod does Translation: if you want the vibe without the usual “works in arcade, explodes in multiplayer” energy, this is aiming to be the cleaner option. Why this exists (according to the creator) The mod author says they made this because the other fem clone mod was giving them issues, so they built a…
This Call of Duty Zombies Mod Is the Star Wars FPS We’re Still Not Getting
A modder just combined Call of Duty with Star Wars — and it looks like the shooter Lucasfilm will never officially greenlight. Not a concept trailer. Not a “what if.” It’s a real, playable Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies Workshop map called Star wars: HOTH beta — and it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds. When official Star Wars FPS plans go quiet, modders don’t pitch — they ship. What this actually is The project is Star wars: HOTH beta, created by MoiCestTOM and published on the Steam Workshop as a beta build of an upcoming Hoth-themed custom map. The creator says they released a beta because custom maps take a huge amount of time and real-life issues made it hard to guarantee a full release later — so they wanted players to have something playable now. They also say the plan is to expand the map with…
