If there’s one thing Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy does well (aside from giving us the best lightsaber duels in gaming history), it’s how mod-friendly the game still is after all these years. Thanks to a dedicated modding community, the galaxy far, far away keeps getting bigger—and weirder—in all the best ways. And this time, it’s a familiar face arriving via hyperspace: Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, straight from Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. No, this isn’t some elaborate total conversion or new campaign—it’s a character skin. But sometimes, a good skin is all you need to shake up your next lightsaber showdown. Let’s take a closer look at this Jedi Academy mod, what it brings to the table (or the battlefield), and why Jedi Knight Luke continues to be one of the most requested character additions in Jedi Academy history. What Is the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker Skin Mod?…

Kinect Star Wars Released 13 Years Ago: A Galactic Adventure That Danced to Its Own Beat
On April 3, 2012, a strange ripple in the Force occurred. No, it wasn’t the Empire striking back or another Death Star getting built — it was the launch of Kinect Star Wars, a motion-controlled game for the Xbox 360 that let you fight as a Jedi, race podracers… and also dance to a remixed version of “I’m Han Solo.” Yes, that happened. And yes, it’s still canon. Sort of. This game was part Star Wars fantasy simulator, part fitness routine, and part galactic fever dream — and more than a decade later, it still holds a special place in pop culture hyperspace. 💫 What Was Kinect Star Wars, Exactly? Kinect Star Wars was built for the Xbox 360’s Kinect motion sensor, which means no controller was required — just your body, some floor space, and a willingness to embarrass yourself in front of anyone else in the room.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update (4-2-2025) Brings Batcher, Bug Fixes, and Buff Bonanza
The April 2, 2025 update for Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes has landed, and it’s bringing more than just a fresh batch of Batcher. From hard-farmable shards to bug squashing and Datacrons that could outshine a lightsaber, there’s plenty to unpack here. Let’s dive into what’s new, what’s fixed, and who’s suddenly way more terrifying in battle. 🚀 Batcher Joins the Farmable Roster It’s official: Batcher’s shards are now available on Fleet Battles 4-C Hard. She’s kicking Greef Karga off the platform, but don’t panic—Greef is still lounging in Light Side 3-E Hard like a true bounty bro. For players building out their Bad Batch teams, this is a big deal. Batcher brings utility, turn meter manipulation, and she’s immune to daze and stun. Basically, she’s what happens when you combine discipline with a side of unshakeable rage. 🔧 Bug Fixes: Great Mothers & Crosshair (Scarred) Get a Tune-Up This…
Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons Released on This Day in 2009!
Ah, 2009. The year we were all pretending our flip phones were just as good as smartphones, and mobile gaming meant playing Snake or a pixelated racing game during a boring class. But then boom—out of hyperspace came something unexpectedly fun: Star Wars Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons. Yes, this underrated gem quietly landed on mobile devices on April 2, 2009, bringing the galaxy far, far away right into our pockets.

A Mobile Battlefront? Yep, It Was Real Released by THQ Wireless (yep, throwback alert), Battlefront: Mobile Squadrons was built for early mobile phones—not your iPhone 14 Pro Max, but the kind of phone that had a dedicated button for texting your mom “OK”…

Skip the Wait: Empire at War Mod That Removes Startup Videos (GoG Version)

Jedi Academy Mod Spotlight: Galaxy of Heroes – Dark Trooper (Canon Version)
The galaxy isn’t short on troopers. From shiny Phase I clones to chaotic stormtroopers who can’t hit the broad side of a moisture evaporator, the ranks of the Empire are stacked.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game Turns 20 – And Yes, You’re Old Now
Before the open-world chaos of Skywalker Saga and before anyone thought “gritty LEGO story” was a thing, there was a humble, blocky adventure that changed everything. LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game was released 20 years ago today, and it’s safe to say the galaxy has never been the same since. It was the game that made blowing up droids into plastic bits a core memory. The one that let players force-push a stormtrooper off a ledge, not for strategy—but for the comedic satisfaction. And somehow, it managed to take the prequel trilogy and make it even more fun, just by adding slapstick and studs. 🧱 A Blocky Beginning to a Gaming Legacy Back in 2005, Traveller’s Tales dropped the first LEGO Star Wars title like a surprise bounty hunter in a cantina. Focused entirely on the Prequel Trilogy (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the…

If you’re into lightsabers, rebel scum, ancient Jedi temples, or just enjoy collecting virtual heroes who can absolutely obliterate your foes, there’s some juicy news coming your way. Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes has resurrected its much-loved event—”Trust Only In The Force.” Let’s talk about why this is a big deal. Meet the Squad (Cal Kestis Says Hi!) If you’ve ever explored Fallen Order or Survivor, you’ll recognize Cal Kestis—he’s the kind of hero who balances on ledges and fights inquisitors without breaking a sweat. Alongside him, you’ll unlock Cere Junda (wise mentor vibes), Merrin (everyone’s favorite Nightsister witch with mysterious magical powers), Tarfful (that Wookiee warrior who isn’t Chewie, but equally fluffy), and the fierce rebel Saw Gerrera. Think Avengers, but with more robes, a sprinkle of magic, and fur. Lots of fur. Why the Hype? Bonus Rewards, of Course! In this event, it isn’t just about snagging iconic…

Jedi Outcast Turns 22: Celebrating the Game That Let Everyone Feel Like a Real Jedi
On this day in 2002, a Star Wars game was released that did something few others had truly pulled off: it made wielding a lightsaber actually feel good. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast launched on March 26, 2002, and whether it was slicing through stormtroopers or force-pushing enemies off ledges just because you could, it was an experience that stuck with players long after the credits rolled. Now, 22 years later, it’s not just nostalgia talking. Jedi Outcast still holds a unique place in the galaxy of Star Wars video games, and it’s worth revisiting what made it special—and why it’s remembered so fondly. ⚔️ The Lightsaber Combat That Set a New Standard Before Jedi Outcast, lightsaber combat in games was usually a glorified glowing baseball bat situation. The original Dark Forces and Jedi Knight games had their charm, sure—but let’s be honest, the precision wasn’t exactly Kenobi-level….
Bit Reactor’s Star Wars Strategy Game: Everything We Know So Far (and Why It’s a Big Deal)
There’s a new Star Wars game on the horizon, but this one doesn’t involve frantic lightsaber swings or blaster-slinging bounty hunters in third-person combat. Instead, Bit Reactor, the new studio led by strategy veterans, is cooking up something a little more cerebral: a turn-based tactical strategy game set in the Star Wars universe. Now, before anyone asks if this is just XCOM with stormtroopers—well, sort of. But also… not really. There’s more going on here, and it’s worth digging into. Who’s Making This Thing? 👨💻 Bit Reactor: Not Newbies to the Game Bit Reactor may be a relatively fresh name in the industry, but the people behind it are anything but rookies.

Star Wars Outlaws – Real Kay’s Gloves Mod Fixes What Should’ve Been Right From the Start
Of all the things that can break immersion in a big-budget space adventure, gloves probably don’t top the list. But once you see them—really see them—you can’t unsee them. In Star Wars Outlaws, Kay Vess is everything you’d expect from a galactic outlaw… except her gloves look like someone forgot to texture them properly. That’s where the Real Kay’s Gloves mod swoops in like the Millennium Falcon mid-blaster fight. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But it does something incredibly satisfying: it fixes a visual detail that should’ve been done right the first time. And it does it really well. Let’s talk about what this mod changes, why it matters, and why it’s become a must-have for anyone actually paying attention to detail in the galaxy far, far away. What Is the Real Kay’s Gloves Mod?

LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Turns 14 – A Look Back at the Blocky Brilliance
On this day, 14 years ago, a very specific kind of chaos was unleashed in a galaxy far, far away—but this time, it was made entirely out of LEGO bricks. LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars was released on March 22, 2011, and whether you were mashing buttons solo or tag-teaming levels in couch co-op, it delivered a galactic blend of comedy, strategy, and satisfying brick-smashing. Time flies when you’re force-pushing everything in sight. What Made LEGO Star Wars III Stand Out? By 2011, the LEGO video game formula was well established—quirky humor, cinematic parodies, collectibles galore—but LEGO Star Wars III raised the bar in a few unexpected ways. This wasn’t just another rehash of the Skywalker Saga. Instead, it focused on The Clone Wars animated series, bringing characters like Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, and Count Dooku into the plastic spotlight. It was the first LEGO game to feature:…
Star Wars Outlaws Sweeps the 2025 Game Audio Network Guild Awards – The Sound of Victory
Let’s be honest—Star Wars games have always looked good, but sounding good? That’s a whole other level of immersion. In the case of Star Wars Outlaws, the audio didn’t just hold its own—it absolutely dominated the 2025 Game Audio Network Guild Awards, collecting more trophies than a droid in a Jawa pawn shop. Ubisoft’s ambitious open-world Star Wars title walked away with five major awards, putting its musical muscle on full display and solidifying its place in the galactic hall of audio fame. The 5 Awards That Made Star Wars Outlaws the Star of the Show Here’s the breakdown of the awards Star Wars Outlaws snagged: If there were a Grammy category for “Best Use of a Space Violin During a Blaster Fight,” this team probably would’ve taken that home too. Why the Soundtrack Hit So Hard This isn’t just about epic orchestra stings or humming some mysterious Force-like melody….
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 3-19-25 – What’s New?
Another day, another update in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and this one brings farmable character shards, new additions to Chromium Packs, and of course, the ever-important bug fixes (because even the best bounty hunters miss their mark sometimes). Let’s dive into the latest patch notes and see what’s changing in the galaxy. Omega (Fugitive) Becomes Farmable At last, Omega (Fugitive) has become farmable! Her shards now appear in Dark Side 3-D Hard, replacing Teebo. But don’t worry—if for some reason you’re still after Teebo shards (Ewok enthusiasts, this one’s for you), they’re still available in Galactic War Shipments. Hunter (Mercenary) Joins Chromium Packs Another Bad Batch member is making waves! Hunter (Mercenary) has officially joined Chromium Packs and Shipments, meaning he’s now up for grabs if you’ve got the crystals (or the luck of the Force) to pull him.
