At 73 years old, Harrison Ford is now a video game star. According to People magazine, the 73-year old actor recorded original dialogue featured in the game, which allows fans to play out the storylines from the famous film. If you’re a fan of Han Solo and The Force Awakens, you’re going to love this. Many of us who are video game fans know how it can be disappointing when a movie-based video game cannot get the same voice actor to play an iconic part. With a role like Han Solo, anyone other than Ford just wouldn’t cut it. Here’s a trailer from the Daily Mail if you want to see for yourself: Harrison Ford makes his appearance in the new popular LEGO game with his longtime pal and sidekick, Chewbacca. If you have not played the game yet, it closely follows the story from the film The Force Awakens so major spoilers if you haven’t…

‘Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Tops UK Sales Charts
Just how well is Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens doing since its release? Well, pretty darn good. It’s even topping the charts in the UK. Gamespot is reporting that for it’s debut week, which ended July 2nd, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens shot to the top of the United Kingdom’s sale charts. It came in over big titles such as Overwatch, Doom, and FIFA 16. Stats also show that it is the fourth largest Lego video game launch ever. It comes in behind Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Marvel Superheroes and Lego Batman. So these are some pretty awesome stats for the game already. It’s been out about a week and seems to be performing well globally. I am a fan of the Lego series of games and of course being a Star Wars fan, I also like the Lego Star Wars series. As soon as I knew they were making a…
You Can Play J.J. Abrams in ‘Lego Star Wars Awakens’
Here’s one more fun fact about LEGO Star Wars Awakens: You can play J.J. Abrams in the game. Seriously. This is a thing. We’ll just let that sink in for a minute. So the series is known for making silly games but here is one we didn’t see coming. Are there people (kids even) out there playing this game who just really, really wanted to play as their favorite movie director? My guess is it was really just a way to recognize Abrams for his hard work and great job on the latest film. Honestly, it’s a fun little way to honor the director in a fun little game based on the very popular movie. Actually, they put Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy in the game as LEGO figures so it definitely seems like a nod to the people who helped make The Force Awakens happen. And honestly, even if the kiddies don’t get it,…
Star Wars Uprising – Sector Battle Imminent: Burnin Konn
As someone who’s spent 2 months trying to beat Plant the Seed, I’m really getting tired of looking at the Burnin Konn map. It’s reached the point where I skip the daily credits mission for that planet. This week’s Leader Board: Burnin Konn General (Rank #1-5): Commander (Ranks 6-100): Captain (Ranks 101-3000): Begins at: 10 AM PST (Kabam Time) Leader Boards: Burnin Konn General (Rank #1-5): No info Commander (Ranks 6-100): No info Captain (Ranks 101-3000): No info Burnin Konn General (Rank #1-5): 9,135,450+ Commander (Ranks 6-100): 5,462,400+ Captain (Ranks 101-3000): 1,338,680+ Burnin Konn General (Rank #1-5): 11,603,700+ Commander (Ranks 6-100): 4,870,200+ Captain (Ranks 101-3000): 1,068,600+ Hoth General (Rank #1-5): 11,037,400+ Commander (Ranks 6-100): 5,567,250+ Captain (Ranks 101-3000): 1,272,100+ Download Star Wars Uprising
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Coming This Summer
If you’re a fan of the LEGO Star Wars series like me, then you’re going to love this info that was recently released. We’re getting a new game this summer – on console, PC and portable platforms. Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t see The Force Awakens yet (and what Star Wars fan hasn’t?) then you’re going to want to watch it before getting this game. Disney is working with Warner Bros. and developer TT Games, and together they’re bringing the vision of Lego Star Wars characters to life. That means we get the best you can expect from the parody series with puns and humor galore. There is exclusive content from Episode VI and TFA but per usual, this isn’t canon. This is a hilarious and fun take on the series that only a LEGO Star Wars game could do. You can see the trailer below but if you have the PS4, you can even download…
EA Announces Next 4 Star Wars Games: 2018 and Beyond
What does the future look like for Star Wars games? Well, it seems it will be very, very bright. As predicted, we’re not going to see the end of Star Wars games any time soon. With movies plotted to release over the next number of years, we’re also going to see new games – four new Star Wars games, to be exact. EA has a plan and they’ve now released at least some information about that plan to us. As a part of this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), we got short glimpses at each one of these new games. The teases were part of the EA press conference and as we already know, EA has the publishing rights to Star Wars titles for the next 10 years. So what are they doing with it? Well, here’s what we know about the released titles so far: A Star Wars VR…

EA GM Gives An Update on Upcoming Visceral and Motive ‘Star Wars’ Video Games
It’s been a busy year for EA and I can totally relate since it seems the months are rushing by for me. That said, it’s good to hear from EA about upcoming projects and games. We got an update this weekend from Jade Raymond, the Group General Manager of Motive Studios and Visceral Games. It sounds exciting: “With EA PLAY right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to update everyone on the world of Motive™ Studios and Visceral Games™. Let’s get right to the point: we have awesome projects underway at both Motive and Visceral, and we are looking for some more amazing people to join our teams. Last year, I wrote that the only limitation we have as game developers is the team’s imagination. I have always believed that to be true. But what’s really hit me since launching Motive last July and growing our…
Battle Pods Epsisode VII Levels Are Live
As we were told by Arcade Heroes, Namco was developing a new level to be added to their Star Wars Battle Pod arcade game. This is great news for fans of the game. As a big fan of arcade games and Star Wars, I know I was pumped up about it. It’s always great to see more new content added to these types of games. Star Wars Battle Pod is one of my favorite arcade games and it’s a game that people of all ages can get into – literally. So you can imagine how excited I was to see this game was being updated.

Check out this one and see if it doesn’t get you all pumped up to play this game:…

Lost Wolf Productions has gone above and beyond here to do these missions, record them, and make them available for all of us to see how to do the same.

Could There Be a Star Wars RTS in the Works?
When it comes to Star Wars games, we’ve had the really good, the really bad, and everything in between. It’s no surprise then that fans will be both excited and skeptical at the idea of a new Star Wars game. The rumor mill tells us we might be seeing a Star Wars RTS in the future. This is actually a very interesting idea. While there have been Star Wars RTS games in the past, there was never one done by EA so it will be interesting to see what the developer would do with this type of game. The rumor began around a video that was posted to Elise Baldwin’s Vimeo account. Baldwin was audio director for a number of games in the The Sims series. She claims she was audio director for the Star Wars RTS also, which is how she obtained the footage she shared. EA removed the…
How Powerful Was Starkiller?
This Star Wars Explained video tells us all about Starkiller, a very powerful Force user. Some will call him one of the most powerful Force user around, but others will disagree. So which is it? What powers does he have? When do we first encounter Starkiller and what do we know about him? Well, this video is going to give you the breakdown in under 8 minutes. Some of this you might already know while other parts might be completely new. The thing about a great Star Wars character is that they need to have depth. You need to care about the character. You need to be able to relate to their struggle. You will be able to feel compassion. The stronger a character is written, the stronger you will feel about them. Even the “bad guys” or villains in a story need a relatable personality and some of the…

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens – New Adventures Trailer
Looking for something fun from LEGO Star Wars? Here’s a trailer that got me excited, since I’m a big fan (so are my kids). This 2-minute trailer will show you just what you can expect from the new adventures. If you love LEGO Star Wars and The Force Awakens, then you’re really going to appreciate this. We knew with the release of the new films and the renewed excitement of Star Wars in mainstream culture that we were going to see many things Star Wars themed. It’s true that unless you’ve been living under a rock on a deserted island, you’ve heard of Star Wars. For some longtime fans, the new popularity of the franchise is annoying. Some feel like every company is just pandering to the popularity that came from the new movie. While not everyone will agree, I am happy about the new popularity of the franchise. You can never…
Star Wars: Uprising – Sector Battle Imminent: Anoat

Respawn (Titanfall) is Working On a New Star Wars Game

Star Wars: Uprising – Alternate Approaches to Defeating Lvl 85 Lightside Boss (PPK)
The two methods I know of to defeat the PPK (Light Side Lvl 85 Boss) are: Get 5* Noble Gear so you’re immune to his stun Use Sticky Bomb, Snare, and Intimidate, and kite him to the beginning and back Both work fine (with skill, patience, and some luck). Just for kicks I’ve been testing other approaches. Obviously it takes a long time to test different abilities, so I thought I’d crowd source it. Please let me know if you’ve tried the abilities below and what the result was: Diving Roll Level 1 (He’s gonna harpoon you! Dive!) Diving Roll Level 2 (Grants obscured for a short duration) Diving Roll Level 3 (Grants immune while rolling) Charge Level 3 (Interrupts all enemies hit) Absolve Level 1 (Gain immunity to all negative status effects) Holographic Decoy (Deploys a hologram) Ion Wave Level 1 or 2 (Stuns all droids for a short…
