Some aircraft are built for speed. Others for stealth. And then there’s the F-117 Amau Ako Edition, which is apparently built for… NSFW anime flair in the middle of a high-stakes battlefield. Welcome to the kind of chaos only the War Thunder modding community can deliver. This isn’t your typical aircraft skin. It’s a full-blown anime fantasy plastered across one of the most iconic stealth bombers in history, and it’s not subtle about it. We’re talking bright, bold, and very explicit, featuring Amau Ako in full NSFW glory—right on the wings of the Nighthawk. Let’s break this wild thing down. What is the F-117 Amau Ako Edition Mod? To put it simply: this mod reskins the legendary Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk with custom artwork of Amau Ako, a fictional anime character known for her curvy aesthetic and, let’s say, limited clothing budget. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “What if my…
Star Wars Battlefront II’s Conquest Gamemode Mod: The Throwback We Actually Needed
If there’s one thing the Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) community has proven time and time again, it’s that they don’t give up easily. What started as a microtransaction disaster eventually became one of the most visually stunning and genuinely fun Star Wars shooters ever made — thanks, in part, to modders. And now? It just got even better with something that should’ve been there from the start: Conquest Mode. Yes, the classic territory-control gameplay from the original Battlefront games has landed in the 2017 version — and it’s as epic as it sounds. A Blast from the Clone Wars Past Remember holding down command posts while waves of droids or stormtroopers descended upon you? Or running around as a Jedi like a caffeinated tornado of lightsaber justice? That’s the kind of gameplay Conquest Mode brought us back in the mid-2000s, and it’s now made its return — courtesy of…
Ryan Reynolds Wants an R-Rated Star Wars—Just Not With Himself in It
In a galaxy not so far from the Deadpool cinematic universe, Ryan Reynolds has done the unthinkable: he pitched an R-rated Star Wars project to Disney. No lightsaber-slinging Merc with a Mouth, no profanity-laced Yoda spinoff (yet), just a serious—albeit bold—idea to take Star Wars storytelling somewhere deeper, darker, and maybe just a little more grown-up. On a recent episode of The Box Office podcast, Reynolds dropped this little hyperspace bomb: “I pitched to Disney, I said, ‘Why don’t we do an R-rated Star Wars property?’ It doesn’t have to be overt, A+ characters. There’s a wide range of characters you could use.” In typical Ryan Reynolds fashion, it wasn’t about shock value. It was about emotion. He pitched the R rating as “a Trojan horse for emotion,” not just for dropping F-bombs in front of droids. And honestly? That’s probably the most Ryan Reynolds way to describe it. Not…

And thanks to Marvel’s preview pages, we’ve got a front-row seat to the emotional confrontations and lightsaber duels that made the movie such a wild ride… only now, there’s more nuance, better pacing, and actual inner thoughts from our heroes (imagine that!). What Happens in Issue #4? Let’s talk about the preview first: This issue centers on two parallel arcs—the grounded emotional goodbye between General Leia Organa and Maz Kanata, and the ferocious lightsaber battle between Rey and Kylo Ren on the wreckage of the Death Star. The opening pages take us to Ajan Kloss, “Yesterday,” where Leia…

Unlike awards voted on by committees in dark rooms with expensive coffee, the NTAs are decided by the…

A Breakdown of All Historical References and Parallels in Andor (In Chronological Order)
Disney’s Andor isn’t just another Star Wars story—it’s a politically charged, slow-burn thriller about rebellion, sacrifice, and systemic oppression. Showrunner Tony Gilroy didn’t just want to tell a space opera; he wanted to reflect the gritty truths of real-world history. And he did—again and again. Almost every plotline in Andor echoes a moment from our own past. Let’s break down all the known historical references and real-world inspirations in Andor, following the show’s timeline and expanding on what’s shown in the visuals—and what isn’t. The Aldhani Heist – The 1907 Tiflis Bank Robbery The daring Aldhani heist, where a small rebel crew robs an Imperial garrison’s payroll vault, draws direct inspiration from the 1907 Tiflis bank robbery. That real-life event was led by a young revolutionary named Ioseb Jughashvili—aka Joseph Stalin. His group, operating under the Bolsheviks, ambushed a bank transport and made off with hundreds of thousands of rubles…

“Get the Gang Back Together”: Battlefront 3 Hype Levels Reach Maximum as OG Dev Teases Comeback
The Battlefront Awakens: Could the Original Devs Really Return? It’s the kind of tweet that sends a ripple through the Force—and the internet. In a recent article from TheGamer, an original Star Wars Battlefront developer casually tossed out the idea of reuniting the old team to make Battlefront 3.

So… How Long Did Boba Fett Actually Marinate in the Sarlacc? We’ve all had rough mornings, but Boba Fett’s might take the cake: one minute you’re chasing bounties in cool armor, the next you’re being swallowed by a sand monster that digests you over a thousand years.

Six Years of Star Wars: Vader Immortal – Episode I: How a VR Sith Lord Changed the Galaxy

Today marks six years since Star Wars: Vader Immortal – Episode I was released, and honestly? We’re still not over it. Back in May 2019, ILMxLAB dropped players straight into the boots of a smuggler with a mysterious Force-sensitive lineage, handed them a lightsaber, and let them meet Darth Vader—face to (terrifying) face.

This should make the Outer Rim…
