If there’s one thing Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) has taught us, it’s that the Force is far more flexible when modders are in control. Whether it’s Jedi robes on troopers, alternate lightsaber colors, or full-blown character replacements, the community knows how to dig deep into the lore—and the newest addition brings us back to a more elegant time in the galaxy. The Dooku Tales of the Jedi Mod transforms Count Dooku into his younger, pre-Sith self from the animated series Tales of the Jedi. This isn’t just a quick cosmetic update either—it includes a custom portrait and, more importantly, a blue lightsaber to match his days as a Jedi Master. So if you’ve ever wanted to see what it would be like to fight as Jedi Dooku rather than the Sith Lord we met in the prequels, this mod delivers that experience with polish and style. What This Dooku…
How Old Is Cassian Andor? A Timeline of the Rebel Spy’s Age in Star Wars
When it comes to unsung heroes in the Star Wars universe, Cassian Andor is the kind of character who doesn’t just fight for the cause—he lives it. As one of the central figures in Rogue One and the lead of the Andor series, he’s been deep in the rebellion before most people knew it existed. But with flashbacks, timeskips, and enough Imperial occupation to make anyone lose track of time, it’s fair to ask: how old is Cassian Andor, really? Let’s break it down, era by era, using the Star Wars timeline: BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). 📍 When Was Cassian Andor Born? Cassian Andor was born in 26 BBY, five years before the Clone Wars began. According to official Star Wars canon, his full name is Kassa Andor, and he was originally from the planet Kenari—though he was later adopted and…
New Star Wars Battlefront II Mod Lets You Play as Mara Jade (Kylo Ren Overhaul)
Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) has come a long way since its launch, with the modding community breathing new life into the galaxy far, far away. While the official roster sticks to the on-screen canon, players have always craved deeper cuts from the Star Wars Expanded Universe—and this time, it’s Mara Jade making a dramatic entrance. Yes, the red-haired assassin-turned-Jedi and one-time right hand of Emperor Palpatine is now a playable character thanks to a bold new mod that replaces Kylo Ren with Mara Jade, complete with custom portraits, alternate art, and custom voice lines. This is the crossover nobody at Disney asked for—but everybody who’s ever read a Star Wars novel absolutely wanted. What Does the Mara Jade Mod Include? This is far from a basic reskin. The Mara Jade Mod is a full character overhaul built with surprising detail and respect for the character’s legacy in the Expanded…
Book Review: Heir to the Jedi by Kevin Hearne
A Jedi Walks Into a Bar, But It’s All in His Head A Luke Skywalker Adventure Like No Other (Because It’s First-Person) When someone mentions a Star Wars novel starring Luke Skywalker, the mental image usually includes lightsabers, daring rescues, or maybe some Force-fueled existential crisis. Kevin Hearne’s Heir to the Jedi checks all those boxes—plus adds a bonus: awkward flirting, noodle shop detours, and a whole lot of internal monologue. Released in 2015 and set shortly after A New Hope, this canon novel does something unusual in the Star Wars publishing galaxy—it tells the story in first-person. That’s right. You’re inside Luke’s head for nearly 300 pages, and it’s… well, a ride. Equal parts entertaining, insightful, and slightly awkward, Heir to the Jedi shows us the post-Death-Star, pre-Jedi-Knight version of Luke: a young pilot just beginning to grasp the Force and figure out who the heck he is now….
Darth Vader and the Concept of Tawba (Repentance) in Islam
There’s a reason Darth Vader remains one of the most iconic characters in film history. He’s not just a villain in a black helmet—he’s a walking contradiction. Ruthless, feared, and undeniably powerful… yet haunted by his past and, in the end, capable of something no one expected: redemption. In Return of the Jedi, Vader doesn’t just save his son—he turns away from everything he once stood for. It’s a moment that hits hard, not just for Star Wars storytelling, but for anyone interested in the deeper questions of morality, accountability, and forgiveness. And that’s where an unexpected parallel comes into view: the Islamic concept of Tawba—a spiritual framework of sincere repentance that teaches, no matter how far someone has fallen, the path back is never closed. This article explores how Darth Vader’s final act of redemption mirrors the core teachings of Tawba in Islam, highlighting the idea that true forgiveness…
🧘♂️ Star Wars: Jedi Knights #2 – Secrets, Shadows, and Padawans in Peril
Things are heating up faster than a malfunctioning podracer engine in the second issue of Star Wars: Jedi Knights. Just when the Jedi thought peace might hold (even for a nanosecond), along comes a shadowy mission, a secret Padawan, and a whole lot of Jedi Order drama. Set in the tense years before the Clone Wars, this comic is part detective mystery, part Force-fueled political thriller—with just enough lightsaber flair to keep things dangerously fun. And yes, the Jedi are trying really hard not to unravel in the process. 📚 A Quick Recap – Where the Jedi Are and What’s Going Wrong The series picks up in the uneasy calm after the Battle of Naboo, when the Republic is still clinging to peace like Yoda to a lightsaber in a strong wind. But Jedi Knight Zeen Mrala isn’t exactly enjoying the calm. She’s been tasked with investigating the disappearance of…
Naughty Faces Mod for Balatro: When Poker Night Gets NSFW
Balatro is known for turning poker into a roguelike fever dream. But just when you thought you had mastered the art of building the perfect run, the modding community delivers a curveball—or in this case, a curve. Introducing Naughty Faces, a not-so-subtle mod that swaps out your Jack, Queen, and King cards for something a little more… uncovered. This is poker like you’ve never seen it before, unless your card nights already include adult stars—which, hey, no judgment. The Naughty Faces mod offers a bold and very NSFW experience for anyone looking to spice up their Balatro playthrough, both figuratively and literally. It’s still about combos and synergies, but now with a layer of full-frontal absurdity. What Is the Naughty Faces Mod? Created with a playful wink and zero modesty, the Naughty Faces mod is exactly what it sounds like: a custom card art replacement pack that gives Balatro’s face…
Schedule I Gets a Casino Overhaul – It’s Time to Go All In
Some mods are subtle tweaks. Others are full-blown reimaginings of how a game should feel. The Casino Overhaul mod for Schedule I lands squarely in the second category—an unapologetic, neon-lit, slot-machine-ringing rework of the in-game casino that turns a quiet corner of the game into a full-blown high-stakes experience. With revamped interiors, slick animations, and enough ambiance to make a Coruscant underworld dive look like a bingo hall, this mod completely changes how players interact with the casino space.

The Casino Overhaul mod doesn’t mess around with just aesthetics—it transforms the entire vibe. It’s not just about gambling anymore; it’s about immersion, style, and a hint of that “this could go very wrong” energy that only the best casino scenes…
Star Wars Outlaws Mod Optimizes Settings for 8GB NVIDIA GPUs (Texture Fix Included)
Star Wars Outlaws has finally landed, giving players the chance to smuggle, blast, and charm their way through a galaxy full of danger, drama, and droids with attitude. But if your rig isn’t quite a Death Star and more like a Jawa sandcrawler running on duct tape and dreams, you might be hitting some bumps in the performance department—especially with a mid-tier GPU rocking 8GB of VRAM. That’s where this mod comes in clutch. The Optimized Settings for 8GB VRAM NVIDIA GPUs (with Texture Fix) is exactly what it sounds like: a custom tweak for those running Star Wars Outlaws on slightly older or budget graphics cards, ensuring smoother performance and better visuals without nuking your frame rate.

The mod rebalances in-game settings, adjusts memory allocation, and applies a texture fix specifically targeted at…
How Old Is Sheev Palpatine? The Dark Lord’s Age Across the Star Wars Timeline
When it comes to manipulating galactic history, cheating death, and delivering thunderous “unlimited power” speeches, Sheev Palpatine (better known as Emperor Palpatine or Darth Sidious) is in a league of his own. But for all the Sith lightning and clone resurrection weirdness, one question always lingers: how old was this guy, really? Let’s break down Sheev Palpatine’s age across the Star Wars timeline—from his political beginnings on Naboo to his unholy comeback in The Rise of Skywalker. 🍼 When Was Sheev Palpatine Born? Palpatine was born in 82 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) on the planet Naboo. His first name, Sheev, was revealed much later in the Star Wars canon, and no—there is no known middle name. (Though “Unlimited” might be a strong contender.) 🧑💼 The Phantom Menace – 32 BBY Palpatine’s Age: 50 At 50 years old, Palpatine is a smooth-talking Senator from Naboo who seems like a…
🎭 Oscar Isaac Bows Out of Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025
In a galaxy not so far away—specifically, Japan—plans are shifting like a podracer in a tight corner. Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 was set to feature an appearance from Oscar Isaac, the beloved actor behind Resistance flyboy Poe Dameron. But alas, the Force (and a busy filming schedule) had other ideas. 🎬 Why Oscar Isaac Won’t Be Touching Down in Tokyo According to a recent update from the event’s official team, Oscar Isaac has officially canceled his appearance at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025. The reason? Filming obligations. Translation: he’s out there somewhere, probably in a galaxy equally chaotic, but more rooted in earthly studio deadlines. There’s no word yet on what project has pulled him away (Marvel? Sci-fi noir? A surprise musical about droids?), but the announcement confirms it’s not due to illness or other personal issues—just work calling at hyperspeed. 💬 The Official Word from Star Wars Celebration…
🛠️ SWGOH April 2025 Update: Forced Client, Bundle Slicing, and Bug Squashing
It’s update time in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and things just got a little… slicier. The April 3rd, 2025 forced client update didn’t just push players into the latest version—it also introduced a shiny new feature called “Slice-a-Bundle.” No, it’s not a cooking mini-game with Wookiees (although, that would be amazing). It’s actually a clever new way to shop smarter in-game—plus a bundle of bug fixes that smooth things out galaxy-wide. 🔄 A New Hope… and a Forced Client Update Let’s rip off the Band-Aid: this update is mandatory. That’s right—no more delaying or dodging. Everyone has been force-pulled into the new client, meaning if you’ve been chilling on an older build like it’s the Mos Eisley cantina, it’s time to download and catch up. But hey, this isn’t just an arbitrary update. It lays the groundwork for future improvements (and probably a few stealthy backend tweaks we’ll only…
🎨 Star Wars: Hunters Murals – A Bold Launch Before the Final Battle
In 2024, Star Wars: Hunters arrived with blaster fire, banter, and bold moves—literally. To celebrate its launch, the galaxy didn’t just get a new multiplayer brawler, it got giant murals in London and Berlin, hand-painted by a team of 11 artists over 750 hours. That’s not marketing—that’s Jedi-level dedication. Fast forward to 2025, and while the game is set to shut down in October, the legacy of these epic murals still stands as one of the most creative launches in Star Wars game history. 🧱 A Wall-Worthy Welcome to the Arena To kick off the launch of Star Wars: Hunters, Lucasfilm partnered with Global Street Art to bring the world of Vespaara’s arena battles to life—on actual buildings. Two huge murals were created in: These weren’t digital projections or vinyl prints—these were meticulously hand-painted works of art, using the kind of tools that don’t require a GPU: brushes, rollers, ladders,…
🎉 LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Turns 3 – And It’s Still a Blockbuster!
On this day, three years ago, a little game packed full of plastic bricks and galactic chaos blasted onto consoles and PCs across the galaxy. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga didn’t just relive the cinematic magic of Episodes I through IX — it rebuilt them, quite literally, brick by brick. Since its release, the game has done more than just entertain players with slapstick stormtroopers and mumbling Skywalkers. It’s gone on to become the fourth best-selling Star Wars game of all time, leaving LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga in the dust faster than the Millennium Falcon in hyperspace. And here’s the kicker — it accomplished that feat in just a few months. 🚀 A Game That Stacked the Odds (and Minifigs) in Its Favor Back in 2022, there was plenty of hype around the game — and for good reason. TT Games promised a reimagined LEGO experience, with…

Mael’tala Gets a Bouncy Upgrade in Monster Hunter Wilds with This Big Sexy Boobs Mod
Monster Hunter Wilds is known for its intense action, massive beasts, and stylish characters—but some modders look at all that armor and say, “What if we made it… bouncier?” Enter the Mael’tala Big Sexy Boobs mod, a cheeky visual overhaul that doesn’t change gameplay but absolutely changes the vibe. This mod gives Mael’tala an enhanced body model with significantly larger and more animated proportions. And yes, it’s exactly as over-the-top as it sounds. Whether you’re hunting monsters or just vibing in base camp, things are about to get a lot more… physics-intensive. A Visual Upgrade That’s Not Exactly Tactical Let’s be honest—Mael’tala is already a visually striking character. With this mod, she becomes a bit more “wow” in a way that’s definitely not guild-approved. The enhanced model increases her chest size and modifies armor to better showcase her new figure. It’s a purely cosmetic mod, but the difference is hard…
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Just Got Spicier with the Spidey-Nude Mod
The streets of New York have never seen this much skin. With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 already packed with alternate suits, advanced traversal, and emotional storytelling, modders have taken things… in a slightly less heroic direction. Say hello to the Spidey-Nude mod—a bold (and bare) reimagining of your friendly neighborhood wall-crawler. This mod replaces Peter Parker’s classic suited look with nothing at all. That’s right, the iconic red-and-blue tights are officially on vacation. It’s just Spidey, the wind, and an uncomfortable amount of skin-tight realism. Whether this adds immersion or just comedic chaos depends entirely on your perspective. What Is the Spidey-Nude Mod? The Spidey-Nude mod strips Spider-Man of his costume entirely, offering a full character model overhaul that shows Peter Parker in the buff.

Snowbreak: Containment Zone Gets a Bold NSFW Twist with Nude Boss Pai-Chunjing Mod
Snowbreak: Containment Zone isn’t exactly shy when it comes to dramatic sci-fi flair, gunplay, and otherworldly enemies.

She commands respect, fear, and often, a few rage quits from underprepared players. With this NSFW mod, however, Pai-Chunjing…
