When it comes to Star Wars icons, Han Solo ranks pretty high on the list. He’s the fast-talking, blaster-wielding, bantha-avoiding smuggler with a soft spot for rebellions and Wookiees. But as the timeline jumps between trilogies, flashbacks, and sequels, it’s fair to wonder: How old is Han Solo throughout the saga? The man’s been through a lot—Kessel Runs, bounty hunters, carbonite freezing, family drama, and lightsaber-induced tragedy. Let’s break down his age from scoundrel beginnings to his final curtain call. 📅 Quick Reference: The Star Wars Timeline Before jumping into the numbers, here’s a refresher on the galaxy’s timekeeping system. Star Wars dates are often measured in BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (After the Battle of Yavin)—with the destruction of the first Death Star in A New Hope marking Year 0. Han Solo was born in 29 BBY, which puts him a full decade older than Luke…
Replace Your Knife with a Lightsaber in Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023)
What if you could slice through Ganados in Resident Evil 4 (2023) with a weapon that hums with the power of the Force instead of clanking with good ol’ steel? Say goodbye to Leon’s standard-issue combat knife and say hello to a glowing energy blade that looks like it was lifted straight from the Jedi Order’s armory. That’s right—thanks to the Lightsaber Knife Mod, you can now turn Leon Kennedy into a pseudo-Jedi, complete with a saber that replaces his melee weapon in-game. This isn’t a gimmick.

This mod transforms Leon’s regular combat knife into a glowing lightsaber, complete with visual effects and sleek textures. It’s designed to enhance the melee experience without disrupting the core…
Jihad and the Rebel Alliance: A Galactic Struggle Against Oppression
The Star Wars universe has always been more than just space battles, lightsaber duels, and snappy droid one-liners. Underneath the epic storytelling lies a powerful narrative about rebellion, sacrifice, and the never-ending struggle against tyranny. And if that sounds familiar, it’s because it mirrors concepts found throughout human history—including the Islamic idea of jihad. Now, before jumping to hyperspace conclusions, jihad doesn’t mean “holy war” (no, it’s not that dramatic). In its truest form, it’s about striving—for justice, for moral discipline, and for resisting oppression. Which, strangely enough, makes the Rebel Alliance one of the most unexpectedly relatable case studies for this timeless concept. Let’s take a closer look at the parallels—lightspeed not required. The Rebel Alliance and the Spirit of Resistance IThe Rebel Alliance didn’t start as a galactic powerhouse. It wasn’t born in palaces or boardrooms but in whispered meetings, stolen transmissions, and desperate hope. It was messy,…

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.

How Old Is Luke Skywalker? A Timeline Across the Star Wars Galaxy
Few names in pop culture are as iconic as Luke Skywalker, the wide-eyed Tatooine farm boy who turned into a galactic legend. But while his journey from moisture farmer to Jedi Master is well documented across the Star Wars saga, there’s one question that keeps popping up: How old is Luke Skywalker at each point in the timeline? Turns out, tracking Luke’s age is a bit like piloting through an asteroid field—but with less screaming and more math. Let’s walk through it. 📅 The Galactic Timeline: A Quick Refresher Star Wars uses the Battle of Yavin (BBY/ABY)—the destruction of the first Death Star in A New Hope—as a central point in the timeline. Events before are marked as BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), and events after are ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). Luke was born in 19 BBY, the same year Revenge of the Sith takes place and…

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…

Helldivers 2: Star Destroyer Mod – The Empire Has Entered Orbit
You know what Helldivers 2 really needed? Less diplomacy, more galactic domination. The Star Destroyer Mod does exactly that by letting you swap out your vanilla Helldivers ship for a hulking Imperial Star Destroyer straight from the Star Wars universe. Because sometimes, dropping democracy from orbit requires a little more intimidation—and a lot more polygonal mass. This is the crossover nobody expected but somehow fits perfectly.

Whether you’re subtly flexing with one ship or going full fleet, this mod delivers the kind of over-the-top presence that says, “We’re not here to liberate—we’re here to conquer.” Let’s break down what this mod offers, why it works surprisingly well in Helldivers 2, and how to install it for your next planetary liberation mission.

Marvel Rivals Naked Wolverine Mod – Because the Only Thing More Dangerous Than Claws Is Confidence

Star Wars Beyond the Movies: How the Galaxy Keeps Expanding
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas created Star Wars, an epic space opera that became a massive franchise. Well, to be fair, this statement is only half true. While Lucas created the franchise in the 1970s, it all started here on Earth. Inspired by other space sci-fi media like Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Flash Gordon, he set out to create his own space opera. Little did he know that it would become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Although the series is decades old, the Star Wars hype has never died down. Beyond the original, prequel, and sequel trilogies, we’ve seen the release of countless TV shows and video games and the announcement of plenty of prospective projects in the works. The Core Star Wars Film Saga The core nine films, beginning with A New Hope in 1977,…
Mental Health in the Galaxy: Could CBD Help With Jedi Burnout?
Jedi burnout is real. Sure, it’s not listed in the Revised Core Rulebook, and you won’t hear Yoda talk about “self-care Sundays,” but if you’ve watched any Star Wars content for more than five minutes, it’s clear that the Jedi Order has some serious mental health blind spots. Between suppressing emotions, being constantly at war, mentoring unpredictable Padawans, and occasionally battling Sith Lords with a lightsaber and some guilt, the Jedi lifestyle isn’t exactly restful. If ever there were a galactic group in desperate need of modern stress support, it’s the Jedi. Which raises the question: could CBD help with Jedi burnout? Could a little endocannabinoid balance have saved Mace Windu from constant frowning or helped Anakin chill just enough to not fall to the dark side? Let’s explore. 💥 What Is Jedi Burnout, Exactly? First, let’s define Jedi burnout in a metaphorical sense—because sadly, there’s no clinical diagnosis for…
Marvel Rivals Mod Turns Mantis into Nude Neeko – Because Why Not?
Superheroes. They’re noble, powerful, and iconic… and sometimes they get modded into completely unexpected territory. Case in point: the Mantis as Nude Neeko mod for Marvel Rivals. This bold character swap replaces Mantis with a fully nude version of Neeko—yes, the chameleon-like champion from League of Legends, now reimagined in full NSFW glory and dropped into the Marvel universe without so much as a warning. It’s weird. It’s wild. And honestly? It’s a mod that seems to exist purely because someone asked, “What’s the most unhinged crossover we can pull off today?” The result is a hilariously bizarre (yet technically impressive) mod that mashes together two franchises that never asked to be connected—and makes it work. What Is the “Mantis as Nude Neeko” Mod? Let’s be clear: this is not a lore-friendly mod. There is no deep backstory explaining why Neeko suddenly left Runeterra to join the Guardians of the…
