The Non-Canon Expert looks at what happened to Starkiller’s lightsaber after he confronted Darth Vader and Darth Sidious as described in the first The Force Unleashed novelization, and then explains the full story of Starkiller’s lightsaber that he would use during this final confrontation with the Sith. What you may not know is that in this battle, he wasn’t using his normal red lightsaber. He was using a different lightsaber for this fight. So, which one was it? Where did it come from? And what happened to it after the fight? This is a Legends story for Starkiller and Darth Vader with information found within “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” and “Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader.” I hope that you enjoy it! What did you think? Did you learn something new here? I actually did! I read a lot about Star Wars but there were a…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Grand Arena Season 7: The Empire Strikes Back
Starting next week, Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes got a brand new season of Grand Arena Championships, and with the 40th anniversary of Empire Strikes Back happening during this GAC, Capital games thought it would be an excellent idea to theme the GAC with that movie in mind to celebrate! It turns out that Empire Strikes Back is too big for just a single Championship as well, so this season will cover the Battle of Hoth and Luke’s training on Dagobah, leaving the other parts of ESB (bounty hunters and Bespin) for the next season. This month is 3v3 battles, so think carefully about who you set on defense and what you might expect to face. The game developers over at CapitalGames listed the starting dates for the feats so you can better plan your defenses and gear up your teams. All dates are approximate and may not sync up…
Is This the Worst Star Wars Game Ever?
We are all about the Star Wars games here – it’s what our site was started for – and I’ve been a fan for all of my life. I love every Star Wars game I’ve ever seen, pretty much. I like the new games and I like old-school games and anything that brings the magic of Star Wars to a new or broader audience, or that brings us Star Wars in a new way, then I’m all for it. But every now and then, there’s a Star Wars game that’s questionable. I have to ask myself, “Do you like this because it’s a decent game, or just because it has a Star Wars theme?” And this was one of those games: Star Wars Super Bombad Racing. Who remembers this one? I used to play this one as a kid and honestly, I loved it. Maybe young me just didn’t know…

Possible Direction of EA’s New Star Wars Game
EA is working on a new Star Wars game. For those who don’t know, EA has partnered with Disney to have exclusive rights to the Star Wars license until 2023. This means they are the only studio who can make Star Wars games at this time. Some fans aren’t happy about that, but it is what it is and we can’t really do anything to change that. So for now, at least, we have to work with what we’re given and that means embracing EAs role in all of this. Despite some canceled games and a rocky start to Battlefront II, they’re not doing all that bad in the gaming department. What might we see in the future? FlickeringMyth.com speculates on what future Star Wars games we might see. A Star Wars Battlefront III, perhaps? What would that look like? And what would be the benefit to a new game,…

Starkiller’s Thoughts When Seeing Darth Vader’s Face Without his Mask On!
Few have ever been able to look upon Darth Vader’s face without his mask. His apprentice, Starkiller, was one of these few. Starkiller struggled with the battle between the light and the dark side and this epic duel between the two of them was monumental. Starkiller had to realize that behind the mask was not a monster or evil creature, but a man, just like him. A man who still had the ability to feel fear and pain. With the mask, Vader was a legend. Behind the mask, he was still a man. His humanity showed through, which had to be a very powerful circumstance for Starkiller. This video from Star Wars Reading Club breaks down the story of how and why this happened, and what Starkiller was thinking when he say Vader sans mask. See it here: What do you think? Was any of this new knowledge for you,…

Fallen Order’s Success Is a Stepping Stone for Future Chapters
After numerous attempts to create a video game that could live up to the legacy of the Star Wars universe, Electronic Arts hit the jackpot by releasing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The story of Cal Kestis was so well structured, that it was instantly loved both by the critics as well as the players. That love was also reflected on the sales of the game, as Fallen Order managed to sell over seven million copies within the first six weeks of its release. Despite that fact that EA has not made any official announcements in regards to a sequel, a second chapter feels like a natural next step for the story. The game’s ground-breaking record sales show that there is a big enough audience on which Electronic Arts can rely on if a sequel is released. However, creating a Fallen Order game is not going to be easy. The…
