Star Wars Video Games: Monthly News Roundup – February 2019
Welcome to the Monthly News Roundup series! This post, usually posted at the end of every month or the start of a month, aims to sum up the latest updates and changes to the relevant Star Wars games. February 2019: Star Wars Battlefront II (Shooter): February saw the arrival of Anakin Skywalker into the game as a playable light-side Hero voiced by Matt Lanter, as well as a rework of Clone Customization. Anakin comes with 4 abilities instead of the usual 3, with the fourth functioning as an ‘ultimate’. Anakin also has two appearances; his default Jedi Knight appearance which is based off of his look in Episode 3 when fighting the Count, and his Robed Appearance. The clone customization rework introduces new legions, the ability to choose between Phase I and Phase II clones, and changes the look of the four default clone infantry classes. The February update also introduced an Emote Wheel, allowing…
Star Wars Rogue Squadron Fan Remake in Unreal Engine 4
We love Star Wars Rogue Squadron for the N64 and I know I am not the only one. I’ve written about it here and tweeted about it and heard from many fellow fans who still remember this classic. So now I have something fun and cool to bring to you today. An awesome fan remake for the game done in Unreal Engine 4! YouTube’s ‘Thanaclara’ is working on it now and shared some info in this video: And also here: Thanaclara also claimed that he will remaster the music with more modern samples for the final game and will try to implement a realistic real-time pseudo volumetric cloud system.

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Gets Gameplay & Story Details
Thanks to an older gameplay leak being corroborated by Episode IX details, we have a pretty solid idea of Jedi: Fallen Order’s heroes, villains and gameplay style. Check out the video below to see more about this upcoming game. What are we looking for as gamers and fans of Star Wars? Well, depending on who you ask you will get a lot of different answers. But I’ve been a Star Wars game fan for most of my life and I’ve been writing about them for years, so I have a lot of insight into what we’re looking for. For starters, how about they give us a good Star Wars game? Seriously. We’ve been waiting for so long and games with potential keep getting canceled. So, let’s have it – a good game! Next, it’d be great to have something with story. A real, immersed story that we can all follow…

Star Wars PlayStation Evolution (1995-2017)
You know how I love talking about the evolution of Star Wars games here. There have been so many games to come out since 1982 with Star Wars themes. We continue to love them, play them, and reminisce on them even today. For today’s post, I’ve found a little gem focused on a specific type of Star Wars game – the PlayStation platform. We have had Star Wars themed games for the PlayStation since 1995. In this video from PSNext, we can see the full evolution of Star Wars games for the this platform – from those early days in 1995 (when I was just a girl) to as recently as 2017.

Is BioWare on a Steady Decline?
BioWare has a long history in gaming as we know it today. They carry claims to fame like Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic. They have been a staple in the gaming community for a very long time. Some of your favorite titles have probably been from BioWare (I know mine have), but will this last? Can we count on BioWare to keep giving us blockbusters that change our lives and melt our hearts? Can we keep expecting fabulous, monumental, memorable games? Or are there days numbered? However, in the past ten years, there have been some big changes for BioWare – the same as there has been in the gaming industry in general. Now we have a new release – Anthem – and for many, it is definitely a disappointment. Kat Bailey, from US Gamer has a few theories on why this happened, and how it’s been…
The Top 5 Sci-Fi Slot Machine Games You Need to Play
Every true sci-fi geek is a gamer at heart. The two simply go hand-in-hand, a match made in heaven just like Princess Leia and Han Solo. However, the downside of being a dedicated gamer is that the wait between console releases can be agonizingly long. The last Star Wars: Battlefront game came out back in 2017 and we currently have no sign of when the next one will be here. Fortunately, sci-fi geeks of all stripes can turn to slot machines to get the geeky gamer fix. There are countless officially licensed and standalone slot titles which provide hours of pretty riveting gameplay. Here are the best ones available right now that you need to be playing. Star Wars Official Slots Unfortunately, you’ll have to make your way to Vegas or another land-based casino to experience this one, as officially-licensed versions are hard to come by online. Following the transfer of the Star…
ODYSSEY: A Star Wars Story – Fan Film
Odyssey has been a project in the works for over two years! It was a labor of love, talent, and hard work for sure. They have done a truly amazing job with this one. Honestly, it’s so above caliber that I almost don’t want to call it a “fan film” (and you guys know how much I love my fan films). Ever wondered what it would be like to see stormtroopers in a film like Saving Private Ryan? Well, this fan film is as close as you can get. This film is set in the Star Wars universe and it’s all about a war, and follows the life of a young rebel named Quinn on his first mission with the Odyssey Squadron. It has dramatic and uplifting music, great costumes (Rebel and Imperial uniforms that look professionally-made), great stories, and realistic acting. It ticks all the boxes for a really…

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 – Chosen One patch notes
Here are the full patchnotes for yesterdays game update for Star Wars: Battelfront. There are big changes coming to the Clone Trooper legions with each Trooper Class now getting their own look, relevant to the legion that they are a part of. This also sees the first time that Officers will be able to equip Clone Trooper armour. Additionally, there’s been a lot of discussion around stuns and their effect on the flow of gameplay. With stuns now having a lower duration and a short immunity once you have been stunned, we’re looking forward to seeing how these changes improve the experience. ANAKIN SKYWALKER Anakin’s power and skill were virtually unmatched, though his overconfidence and anger could get the better of him. Even still, when innocent people were in danger, he would never hesitate to put his life on the line to save them. When his friends needed his help,…
An Idiot’s Guide to Esports
The esports industry is a lucrative sector which is estimated to be worth $1.5 billion by 2020. And while it feels as though it’s only just started to make an impact around the world, it’s been around for quite a while. Yet, many people have heard the term without fully understanding its proper definition. This esports guide will provide you with more information about this emerging phenomenon. In short, esports are video games played by individuals or teams where there’s competition, resulting in a winner and loser. The games played can vary and include first-person shooters and real-time strategy titles. Often, during esport events, behind the players, a crowd of cheering fans and punters eagerly watch esports in action. Whether forming part of the tournament, audience or group of punters, these people are the backbone of where the industry is today and where it’s heading in the (very near) future! The History…
Star Wars: Battlefront: Clone Army Updates Coming to today
As we told you yesterday, Players can start playing Anakin Skywalker with todays game update. But that is not all. we’re not only getting a new hero in Anakin Skywalker, but also an update to how the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic are represented in Star Wars Battlefront II. In this new blog update from DICE, Game Designer Christian Johannesén talks armored clone officers, updated legions, and more. Check it out: Along with an overarching re-implementation of how trooper classes are visually identified, the different clone trooper legions have also undergone a touch-up in the way they look. And with this update, we’re introducing the option to play as an armored clone officer, too! These changes and improvements to the clone army tie into each other, so to learn about how it comes together, we’ve talked to Game Designer Christian “CJ” Johannesén. Phase I and Phase II Clone Troopers With…
Force Ghost: Why Star Wars Galaxies Refuses to Die
Star Wars Galaxies – it’s the game that will not go quietly into the night. We have written on it many times here and that’s partly because we know the readers (at least a lot of you) are big fans. Were its official servers not shuttered in 2011, Star Wars Galaxies would be turning 15 years old this month. Of all the Star Wars games to get the axe, this one is probably mourned the most. The MMO still holds a strong community and fanbase, as you will know from our posts here, or if you’re one of those fans. That is why it lended itself to an emulator to keep it going. Rather than dying a slow death in the canceled MMO graveyard, SWG refuses to die. Force Ghost has some theories as to why, which they cover in this article. It’s a very long piece that digs into…
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes: Update on Droideka in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid
Capital games is fixing a newely found bug in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes resulting in Droidekas dealing huge amounts of damage in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid . Here is the news: We became aware last Friday that Droideka was dealing huge amounts of damage in Phase 3 of the Sith Triumvirate Raid and said we would follow up this week when we have time to fully investigate. It appears that when a unit uses Stand Alone, instead of setting allies’ speed to 0, Traya is actually setting it to something closer to -900,000. This means when a Separatist ally uses Stand Alone while Droideka has Damage Immunity, it has a 35% Chance to assist, and will deal a ton of damage as Droideka’s Attack Damage is based on the difference in speed. Droideka is also assisting before the debuff that prevents assists as the assist activates the moment…

Anakin Skywalker Leads the Way on the Battlefront Starting February 27
Anakin Skywalker is coming to the next big update for Star Wars: Battlefront 2, which is scheduled for tomorrow. He will be joining the rebel/ non imperial side, and the devs have promised that he’s going to be “one of the strongest light side heroes in Battlefront II.” He should be strong lore-wise, of course, but it sounds like he could be a great big problem in terms of gameplay. Here is the news: Star Wars™Battlefront™ II’s The Chosen One Update* is slated to go live February 27, and as the name suggests, it’s time for one of the renowned heroes from the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker**, to lead the way on the battlefront. You’ll find the specifics about our latest addition to the hero roster below. Plus, learn about the 501stLegion***, the Coruscant Guard, and other additions and changes to clone trooper Appearances – including the opportunity to play as…
REPLAYING THE CLASSICS: STAR WARS: BOUNTY HUNTER
In the latest episode of Replaying the Classics, StarWars.com takes us back to Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. This is another game that I actually played a lot of back in the day so I was happy to see them covering this one. Here’s what they have to say: ” In terms of narrative and presentation, Bounty Hunter delivers the goods. It’s got high-quality cinematics rendered by the special-effects wizards at Industrial Light & Magic; it’s got original music by Jeremy Soule, who later composed the original score for Knights of the Old Republic (2003); and it tells a story that adds color and depth to some of Jango Fett’s best dialogue in Episode II. “ I can pretty much agree to that and most of what they say in this retro play-through, actually. From a gameplay perspective, Jango has dual blaster pistols and he can rapid-fire them. You can also lock onto targets so…
