How Old Is Maul? A Complete Timeline of the Sith Apprentice’s Age
He’s been cut in half, rebuilt with robot legs, and fueled by vengeance ever since. Maul—formerly known as Darth Maul—is one of the most enduring characters in Star Wars, both literally and narratively. But between his dramatic debut in The Phantom Menace, his resurrection in The Clone Wars, and his quiet, emotional end in Rebels, a lot of people are asking the same thing: How old is Maul during his journey through the Star Wars timeline? Let’s break it down. 🍼 Maul’s Birth and Early Life Maul was born on Dathomir in 54 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). That makes him a Dathomirian Zabrak, a hybrid species from a planet known for its witches, warriors, and general bad vibes. As a child, Maul was taken by Darth Sidious (a.k.a. Palpatine), who raised and trained him in secret as a Sith apprentice. Even by Sith standards, his upbringing was brutal—engineered…

Maul Returns in Star Wars: Shadow Lord — A Dark Chapter Begins Again
Because being cut in half, abandoned by the Sith, and surviving on sheer rage wasn’t quite enough character development, Darth Maul is back in the upcoming novel Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. And this time, it’s personal. Again. Announced on StarWars.com, this new adult novel is written by Delilah S. Dawson and is set to hit shelves on November 12, 2024. It picks up after Maul’s last known appearance in Star Wars Rebels, charting the dark, twisty path of one very persistent Zabrak who just can’t let the Sith dream die quietly. A New Era of Maul Maul – Shadow Lord is set in the post-Rebels period, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Which is an especially awkward time to try rebuilding your dark side legacy, but if anyone’s going to try turning vengeance into a business model, it’s Maul. This is the Maul who has seen…
Ryan Gosling to Lead New Star Wars Movie ‘Starfighter’ Directed by Shawn Levy

This surprise announcement has landed like a seismic charge across the hyperspace lanes, adding a hefty dose of star power to a project that’s already generating serious buzz. As confirmed by StarWars.com, Starfighter promises a fresh, high-octane story set in a previously unexplored corner of the galaxy, with Levy (known for Free Guy, Stranger Things, and Deadpool 3) in the director’s seat. And with Gosling stepping into the cockpit, things are bound to get interesting. What Is ‘Starfighter’ All About? Details about the plot are still under tight wraps — classic Lucasfilm fashion — but the title Starfighter strongly suggests a focus on ship-to-ship combat, elite pilots, and probably a few explosions…
Snowbreak: Containment Zone – Katya Classy Elegance NSFW Mod: Elegance with an Extra Edge
Every once in a while, a mod drops into the gaming universe that raises eyebrows, inspires curiosity, and maybe even causes a few dramatic spit-takes. The Katya Classy Elegance and Damn Naughty (NSFW) mod for Snowbreak: Containment Zone fits that description perfectly. Equal parts sophisticated and scandalous, this mod gives Katya a full glam makeover—and then turns the dial up to eleven. Designed for those who like their tactical shooter characters served with a side of bold style (and a generous helping of risqué flair), this mod doesn’t just tweak a few textures. It transforms Katya into a next-level visual experience that’s hard to ignore, whether you’re strategizing on the battlefield or just admiring the view between firefights. What Makes the Katya Classy Elegance NSFW Mod Stand Out? Katya was never exactly shy in her original design, but this mod takes her character aesthetic into entirely new territory. Think high-class…
Star Wars Battlefront Reveal Trailer Celebrates 10 Epic Years – Time Flies Like a TIE Fighter!
A decade ago, something big happened at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. No, it wasn’t an Ewok dance-off (though we’d pay good money to see that). It was the moment Star Wars gamers everywhere held their collective breaths: the official reveal trailer for Star Wars Battlefront debuted, and gaming hasn’t been quite the same since. Remember When Battlefront Broke the Internet? On this exact day 10 years ago, the reveal trailer for Star Wars Battlefront electrified the Star Wars community. Back in Anaheim in 2015, crowds erupted in cheers, chills ran down spines, and lightsabers waved wildly (okay, maybe not literally—but you get the point). This wasn’t just any game announcement—it was a comeback story worthy of Luke Skywalker himself. Fans had been craving a new Battlefront experience for years. The franchise, originally famous for letting players live out iconic Star Wars battles, had been dormant for far too long. And…
How Old Is Darth Malak? Tracing the Age of the Baldest Sith Lord in the Galaxy
Darth Malak may be best known for his metal jaw, booming voice, and “blow-up-planets-first” attitude, but there’s more to this Dark Lord than brute force and betrayal. Once a promising Jedi Knight named Alek, Malak’s story runs parallel to that of Darth Revan—and so does his age. So, just how old was Malak when he went from Jedi hero to Sith warlord with a serious case of “main character energy”? Let’s break it down by era, event, and tragic choice. 🧒 Alek’s Early Life and Jedi Training Darth Malak was born as Alek around 3991 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), roughly three years after Revan. Though the exact planet of his birth is debated (some sources say Quelii), we do know he entered the Jedi Order young and trained during a time of rising conflict in the galaxy. Alek quickly developed a strong bond with Revan, who was slightly…
Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree – Male Nude Mod Brings a Bold New Look to the Forest
In a world filled with curses, corrupted magic, and supernatural forces hiding in the shadows, one might expect armor, cloaks, or enchanted gear to be standard attire for a wandering protagonist. But the Male Nude Mod for Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree throws that notion straight into the cauldron. Because sometimes, when you’re fighting eldritch horrors in an enchanted forest, clothes are optional—and courage is all you need. Yes, this NSFW cosmetic mod removes all standard male clothing in the game and replaces it with a fully nude character model. Equal parts bold and bizarre, this mod doesn’t impact gameplay—but it does make your adventure through dark woods feel a lot more… exposed. Let’s break down what this mod actually includes, how to install it, and why it’s another hilarious and unexpected entry into the wide, weird world of game modding. What Is the Male Nude Mod for Mandragora?…
Inside the Grand Army of the Republic on Roblox: A Galaxy’s Worth of Roleplay Awaits
When Lightsabers Meet Lego-Brained Chaos Somewhere between Revenge of the Sith and a 12-year-old’s Saturday afternoon lies a digital frontier called Roblox. And on this platform, where imagination is the only currency more powerful than Robux, the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) stands tall as one of the most ambitious Star Wars-themed communities around. Not to be confused with any official Lucasfilm project, this group isn’t just swinging plastic lightsabers or running in circles yelling “Execute Order 66” for fun—though, yes, that does happen. The Grand Army of the Republic is a full-blown, organized, clone-army simulation experience with ranks, rules, and battalions that would make General Kenobi proud. What Is the Grand Army of the Republic on Roblox? First off, let’s clarify—this isn’t your typical fan club with matching t-shirts and the occasional trivia night. The Grand Army of the Republic on Roblox is a massive roleplay and combat…
The Sith Lords Restored Content Xbox Is Complete: A Galaxy-Saving Upgrade You Didn’t Know You Needed
What If Your Xbox Could Unlock the Full Power of the Force? Some things in life are incomplete. A good story with the final chapter missing. A pizza with one slice gone before you get to it. Or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords (aka KOTOR 2) before the Restored Content Mod came along. But the galaxy just shifted. The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM) is now fully functional on Xbox, thanks to the LOTO’s Xbox version. Yes, that’s right.

It explored the morally gray corners of the Force, gave us fascinating new characters (looking at you, Kreia), and…
KOTOR II: Keep Prologue Benefits Mod – Because That XP Shouldn’t Just Vanish Into Hyperspace
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords is a legendary RPG, but even legends have quirks. One of the more eyebrow-raising oddities? Everything you do during the prologue — the XP you earn, the loot you gather, the time you spend carefully micromanaging T3-M4’s toolkit — disappears the moment the real adventure starts. Yep, all that effort on the Harbinger and Peragus? Gone. T3 might as well have been dreaming the whole thing in standby mode. But thanks to the Keep Prologue Benefits mod, that early-game time sink finally gets the credit it deserves. This clever little fix changes the way KOTOR II handles the prologue, ensuring your time with everyone’s favorite astromech isn’t a waste of circuits.

inZOI Loona NSFW Mod: When Sandbox Gets… Spicy
Sometimes a game mod comes along that makes you do a double-take, laugh a little, and then—very curiously—click that download button. Welcome to the wild and unfiltered world of the inZOI Loona NSFW mod. This isn’t your average cosmetic reskin. This one’s got style, attitude, and just enough “what did I just see?” to leave a lasting impression. For players who like their sandbox simulations to be… let’s say, a bit more expressive, the Loona NSFW mod takes full advantage of inZOI’s flexible character systems. It introduces a highly detailed, adult-oriented version of Loona, the fiery hellhound secretary from the Helluva Boss animated universe—fully modded into the game and unapologetically breaking boundaries.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Strategy, Grinding, and Galactic Credits
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes might look like just another mobile game at first glance, but under the hood, it’s a deep, surprisingly complex turn-based battler where galactic legends clash daily—and not just for control of the Death Star. Whether you’re building your Jedi dream team or grinding endlessly for mods, this game has proven it has staying power in a galaxy crowded with content. It’s free-to-play, but with more currencies than a cantina bartender, and mechanics that echo the delicate balance between chance, patience, and strategy. And yes, there’s plenty of gacha-style RNG that makes opening character shards feel just slightly like rolling the dice at a high-tech casino… which, weirdly enough, brings us to an unexpected parallel: mobile gaming and online casinos. Building the Ultimate Squad: More Strategy Than Sabacc In Galaxy of Heroes, it’s not just about unlocking characters—it’s about synergy. Put a team of Sith together…
Snowbreak: Containment Zone Nude Bubu Nurse Mod – When Medical Aesthetics Go Rogue (NSFW)
Snowbreak: Containment Zone doesn’t exactly play around when it comes to tone. It’s dark, futuristic, tactical, and packed with the kind of sci-fi grit that makes even the loading screens feel intense. But if there’s one thing that can shatter the seriousness of a high-stakes shooter set in a post-catastrophe world, it’s a mod that drops the uniform—and everything else. That’s where the Nude Bubu Nurse (NSFW) mod enters the scene with the kind of energy that says, “This is serious business… but also, not at all.” This unapologetically adult-themed mod swaps the in-game version of Bubu in her nurse outfit with a fully nude model. It’s wildly out of place. It’s surprisingly well-made. And yes—it’s absolutely not safe for work. Let’s unpack what this mod actually does, how to install it, why it exists, and how it fits into the unhinged world of Snowbreak modding culture. What Is the…

Intense political maneuvering and map domination? You bet. But what no one really saw coming—except, perhaps, the most creative corners of the modding community—was a mod that adds NSFW nude artwork to your army banners. Yes, the Nude Banners Mod exists, and it does exactly what the name implies. It’s the kind of mod that makes you double-check whether your graphics settings are turned up, then makes you wonder why you suddenly feel like your medieval conquest is being narrated by a renaissance boudoir painting. So, let’s break down what this mod does, why it was made, how to install it, and whether it changes anything meaningful (other than your enemies’ level of distraction). What Is the Nude Banners Mod? The Nude…
Resident Evil 4 (2023) Merchant Table Ashley and Ada Kissing Mod – NSFW Shenanigans in the Merchant’s Corner
Resident Evil 4 (2023) is packed with action, tension, and the kind of atmosphere that leaves you clutching your controller with sweaty palms. But just when you thought things couldn’t get weirder in this survival horror classic, modders have once again kicked the door off its hinges—this time with a Merchant Table Ashley and Ada Kissing mod (NSFW). Yes, really. In a game known for its gritty tone and over-the-top villains, there’s now a moment—thanks to the miracle of mods—where Ashley Graham and Ada Wong pause all the parasite panic to engage in a very affectionate scene. At the merchant’s table. Because clearly, that was the one thing missing from the remake. So, what does this mod bring to the table (literally)? How does it fit into the bizarre, wonderful world of Resident Evil mods? And should you install it? Let’s take a closer, slightly awkward look. What Is the…
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Tifa Nude Mod – NSFW Fantasy Meets Visual Modding Chaos
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has brought new life to one of gaming’s most beloved stories, blending nostalgic storytelling with high-end graphics, expanded world-building, and deeper character moments.
