Sculptor Behind Princess Leia’s Gold Bikini: Richard Miller Dies, age 80
Richard Miller, the sculptor behind the iconic gold bikini worn by Princess Leia in the Star Wars film franchise, has died at the age of 80. Born in 1942, Miller began his career as a commercial artist before moving into sculpture in the 1970s.

SWTOR: “Snare” Short Story
BioWare Austine posted a new SWTOR short story. BioWare’s success in creating compelling Star Wars stories is the studio’s commitment to creating deep and complex characters. In many of their games, players are given the opportunity to create and customize their own character, allowing for a more personalized and engaging experience. This is particularly true in games like Knights of the Old Republic, where players can choose to align themselves with the light or dark side of the Force. Another reason for BioWare’s success is their attention to detail when it comes to creating immersive environments and worlds. The studio puts a great deal of effort into creating detailed and believable settings for their games, making the player feel like they are truly a part of the Star Wars universe. This is evident in games like The Old Republic, where players can explore a vast and varied galaxy filled with…

As fans of the Star Wars franchise eagerly awaited the release of the latest television series, “Andor,” many were skeptical about whether it would live up to the high standards set by its predecessors.

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…

Top 5 sites gamers will love
Playing video games is one of the most common hobbies in the world. Even people who wouldn’t necessarily describe themselves as gamers enjoy spending time playing mobile games or playing a few hands of Minesweeper, Solitaire or Hearts on the computer. Gaming software and technology have reached the point where dedicated gamers don’t have to have all of the latest consoles or the highest spec computer system – even though they obviously want to have them! Games can be enjoyed on any platform and by players of any skill level, thanks to the rise of indie gaming studios and mobile gaming, and the success of creative world-building games. For some gamers, just playing the games is enough. For most, however, there is a lot more involved than just playing. Gamers like to talk about their favorite games with others, share tips and tricks, get help, watch gaming content and more. …
