The upcoming Title Update will arrive next week and that means Galactic Challenges are almost here! Today the devs over at Capital Games share more details about Galactic Challenges, and the complete Update Notes will be posted with the release. Behind the curtain, this Update really has two parts: a whole new set of tools for us to create events more efficiently, and Galactic Challenges, the first type of event built using this new toolset. This greatly expands our options to create even more events and game modes in the future. They will be closely monitoring Galactic Challenges over the next few weeks and they already have plans to expand this feature after our initial exhibition period.

Why Republic Commando Needs a Sequel
Have you ever fallen in love with a game that needs a true sequel? Oh, it can feel like heartache and heartbreak to want more of your beloved game, but there is no more to be had. So sad. 🙁 In this video The Act Man takes a look at one such game. See it here: I gotta say, I agree! This game is awesome. And for being released in 2005, it was way ahead of its time. Unfortunately, the sequel was cancelled before the game was even released. This video goes into the background on that and explains what happened and why the planned sequel was cancelled. The reasoning is kind of up there with the same reasons why some of our other Star Wars games have been cancelled. Maybe we can get a sequel one day, as all fans of this game can agree that it deserves one….

The Future of Star Wars Games Not from the Latest Movies
The Star Wars sequel trilogy was long awaited and massively-hyped, but did it live up to expectations? For some, yes. For others, no. In fact, Rise of the Skywalker triggered quite the controversy in the Star Wars community. Personally, I enjoyed the new movies for what they were, but we have to agree with facts that the Sequels were kind of a mess compared to the earlier films, and that Disney didn’t really seem to have a long term plan in place when they started making them. Add to that the complete chaos behind the scenes as directors were swapped out and plot-lines and characters were dropped or changed, and it’s easy to see how it became such a mess. Since then, they just don’t carry the same excitement the earlier films did. There isn’t as much of an emotional response as we expect from a Star Wars film (let…

The Most Profitable Star Wars Movies to Date
We have written a lot about Star Wars movies here on the site, especially since the new trilogy was announced, which caused a new surge in popularity for the franchise. The excitement for the new movies was higher than ever before. Old fans of the franchise were excited to see it coming back to the big screen, and it also created new fans in the younger generations who didn’t get to see the first movies back when they came out. In fact, the new trilogy brought Star Wars back into the mainstream for our generation and also opened the doors for new games, spin off movies, television shows like The Mandalorian and of course, lots and lots of merchandising. In fact, with how much we’re seeing The Child on merchandise and memes, you’d think he was the star of a hit Star Wars movie. He definitely gave a lot of…

From the first reveal, to the release, through all the updates and to today, we’ve tried to bring you all the news and info about Battlefront 2. And we’ve heard what you had to say about it, too. The ups and downs, the fall and rise. In the end, Battlefront 2 turned out to be a pretty decent game but this was not without a very rocky start.

It’s an interesting watch, even if you don’t agree and we’re always open to hearing your rebuttals in the…
Star Wars: Heir to the Empire – Chapter 7
I don’t know about you, but I, for one, am becoming emotionally invested in this series. Star Wars: Heir to the Empire has a new chapter up and since the last one left us hanging with Leia and Han in a precarious situation, I couldn’t wait to see how they would all get out of this one. These shorts are so well done and I can’t imagine the amount of work that goes in to pull it off. I really enjoy them and if you are hearing about this for the first time now, please go back and watch Chapters 1-6 before you watch this one. Now, are you all up to speed? Great! Let’s move on to the next chapter. What happened after that cliffhanger on the market scene? See for yourself here: If you haven’t seen the previous 6 chapters, you can catch them here Chapter 7 of…
The Facts About “Star Wars: Squadrons”
For many years, new “Star Wars” content was few and far between. When video games were released, we were expected to be content to play them for years on end. The idea of a new movie was laughable, and after the misery of the prequel trilogy, there weren’t all that many people who were receptive to the idea of seeing one anyway. A live-action television series like “The Mandalorian” would have been unthinkable. We all know what’s changed since then. Disney came in, and since then, “Star Wars” has been everywhere. There are new films, new toys, new games, and of course, “The Mandalorian” is one of the best TV shows of any genre that we’ve seen in years. While “The Mandalorian” appears to have pleased everybody, and the most recent three movies split the crowd, our relationship with the newer “Star Wars” video games is a little more complicated….

Should You Try CBD for Your Pet?
One of the strangest, yet most convenient and useful developments in the world of cannabinoid use is CBD for pets. Whereas before, we could only really use CBD for our own benefit, we can now start to use it to help our favorite animal friends. However, while CBD for dogs and other pets tends to be more expensive than regular CBD, sometimes it is all you have. What should you do if you run out of your own CBD oil supply, and only have your CBD for pets lying around? Should you try CBD that was meant for your pet? Are there any problems with doing so?

Is CBD Oil Safe for Dogs with Intermittent Seizures?
CBD products are becoming increasingly popular for pets. There have been a number of recent studies showing that CBD could benefit cats and dogs in similar ways to humans. Many brands are now looking to expand their range of CBD products to include those that are suitable for cats and dogs to consume. From CBD dog treats to tasty pet-friendly oils, there are many fun ways to add a small dose of CBD to your dog’s diet. While the evidence is continuously building that shows the generalized benefits of giving pets CBD on a regular basis, there are still many questions about whether it can be used to treat specific health conditions. There have been a number of high profile cases about the benefits that CBD can have for those who suffer from seizures, but is the same true for dogs? Let’s take a look at CBD oil for dogs…

Could the SYSTEMS ALLIANCE destroy the DEATH STAR II (and its fleet)? | Mass Effect vs Star Wars
Here’s another fun versus video from EckhartsLadder. This one explores another hypothetical Star Wars scenario to see who would win in a potential match up against a Mass Effect universe. Fans of both will likely find this interesting. Of course, there are many different factors to consider in a hypothetical situation like this, so the video will break it down for you and set some boundaries and guidelines. Of course, if this were real, we know there are many different ways it could go. So, lots of “ifs and buts”, but it’s still very fun and interesting. I love to take some early bets/calculations on who I think would win before I watch his breakdown to see what he says. Could the Systems Alliance of the Mass Effect Universe, as led by Commander Shepard, destroy the fearsome second Death Star, and its defense fleet Death Squadron (including the Super Star…

$ 14 million – CFTC’s pivotal action against Ponzi scheme in investments
Investing process has never been easy when it comes to risking funds and shares. Breaking your way through different stock exchanges might become a truly tough challenge, especially when it comes to the largest and most renowned ones, like Forex. Unfortunately, fraudulent schemes may become a real danger for law-abiding traders. That is why CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) is always on guard. The very existence of the CFTC, the American derivative regulator, proves that it is worth working only with the trustworthy best US Forex brokers. Most recently, the commission accused three investment firms of operating under the Ponzi scheme. From the summer of two thousand fifteen until the recent discovery by CFTC, John D. Black was involved in fraudulent business. You may know about his bonds with Financial Tree and other «supportive» financial businesses. Christopher Mancuso and Joseph Tufo assisted him in carrying out the knavish activities. Scammy…
