Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon – A 21-Year Retrospective on the Ambitious Game Boy Advance Adventure
Back in the day when the Game Boy Advance was still one of the coolest handhelds around (yes, including that annoying backlight issue that left you squinting in every dark corner of the house), Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon hit the shelves. This year, it turns 21. Wow, legally old enough to rent a speeder and get into Mos Eisley Cantina, right? But looking back on this title, it raises one important question: was it a lightspeed success or as frustrating as trying to fix the Millennium Falcon’s hyperdrive? Let’s take a look. The Context: Where Was Star Wars Gaming in 2003? In 2003, the Star Wars gaming universe was… ambitious. We’re talking about an era before Disney’s acquisition, where LucasArts was throwing video games at players like a hyperactive podracer tossing spare parts. While some titles like Knights of the Old Republic took storytelling to new levels, others……
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor PS5 Pro Troubles – A Tale of Glitches, Ray Tracing Issues, and EA’s Promised Fixes
The galaxy far, far away may have mastered hyperspace travel and dueling with laser swords, but apparently, making Star Wars Jedi: Survivor run smoothly on the PlayStation 5 Pro isn’t as simple as waving a hand and saying, “This is the performance you’re looking for.” Instead, it’s been a bit like landing a malfunctioning ship on a swampy Dagobah – a task full of stuttering frame rates and strobing foliage. What’s Up with Jedi: Survivor on the PS5 Pro? To put it simply, Jedi: Survivor, the action-packed sequel where players once again don the mantle of Cal Kestis, is having a rough go of it on the PS5 Pro. EA’s official announcement (posted to the bustling digital cantina known as X, formerly Twitter) acknowledged that the game’s performance on Sony’s latest high-end console isn’t up to snuff. They’re investigating the issues, but exactly when a fix will emerge remains more…

Star Wars: Hunters – 3 Years Since Soft Launch, How’s the Battle Arena Holding Up?
Three years ago today, Star Wars: Hunters began its soft launch, inviting players to an arena where Wookiees with axes square off against droid gunslingers, and heroes from all corners of the galaxy clash in over-the-top battles. The idea was ambitious: a free-to-play competitive team-based game set in the beloved Star Wars universe. But as we pass this milestone, it’s worth asking—how has it fared? Does the Force remain strong with Star Wars: Hunters, or is it a dusty relic lost in a sea of mobile games? A Quick Recap of Star Wars: Hunters Released as a soft launch back in 2021, Star Wars: Hunters came from the minds at Zynga and Lucasfilm Games. The premise? Players choose unique heroes (or “Hunters”) from a colorful roster that spans everything from ex-Jedi and Mandalorian bounty hunters to literal battle droids. Set after the fall of the Empire, it takes place in…
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Released 5 Years Ago Today! Here’s Why It Still Rocks the Galaxy
It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order crash-landed onto our screens. And by “crash-landed,” I mean Cal Kestis (aka our favorite ex-Jedi-in-training) surviving Order 66, fighting Purge Troopers, and doing parkour off cliffs like it’s all in a day’s work. This milestone deserves some good old-fashioned reflection—preferably in a cantina where stormtroopers can’t aim and Wookiees don’t know the meaning of “quiet conversation.” So, what makes Jedi: Fallen Order such a timeless gem in the Star Wars universe? Let’s pop open the cargo hold of nostalgia and dive in. A Narrative Worthy of the Jedi Archives The Plot That Made Sense (For Once) Jedi: Fallen Order follows Cal Kestis, a Padawan who survived the dreaded Order 66. By the way, let’s take a moment to acknowledge that “Order 66” should’ve come with a “Warning: Side Effects Include Galactic Downfall” label. But Cal’s story…

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 33 years since Star Wars on the NES hit the gaming scene, courtesy of Beam Software and Lucasfilm Games. Released in 1991, this title was an ambitious take on the galaxy-spanning saga of Luke Skywalker and friends. While it may not have had the flashy graphics of today’s games or a fully voiced Darth Vader telling you he’s your father (spoiler alert?), it certainly captured the imaginations of gamers everywhere with its retro charm, pixelated action, and John Berkey’s iconic artwork gracing its cover. Let’s break down why this Star Wars NES game remains a significant piece of gaming and franchise history, how it played a role in our collective gaming memories, and why the artwork, originally designed for the 1977 soundtrack, continues to resonate. The NES Star Wars Game: A Quick Look Back The year was 1991. Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) consoles…

That’s right—24 years ago, this hidden gem hit the shelves, challenging us to embrace explosive carnage, courtesy of none other than Jabba the Hutt. So, what made Star Wars: Demolition so special (and gloriously ridiculous)? Let’s take a nostalgia-fueled ride through this offbeat game. Trust Jabba to Break the Rules: The Story Behind the Carnage When podracing was outlawed by the Empire—because apparently zooming at reckless speeds in life-or-death circuits is just too risky (thanks, Emperor Palpatine)—Jabba the Hutt did what he does best: bending, breaking, and burying rules deep beneath a pile of credits. Thus, the underground sport of Demolition was born. Think podracing, but swap…

Welcome to the Galaxy’s Meatpacking District (Sort Of) First things first—let’s talk about this factory. This isn’t your typical meat factory where Aunt Beru picks up her groceries (can you imagine?). This is a massive, industrial monstrosity that feels equal parts sci-fi and space horror. You can practically smell the oil, cold air, and the faint whiff of who-knows-what hanging in the air. But hey, that’s Coruscant…
