Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 3 – Everything We Know About The Cancelled Star Wars Game

Lisa Clark

Were you one of many fans let down when Star Wars: The Force Unleashed III was cancelled? You are not alone as this was one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars games ever and many people were disappointed when it was cancelled. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was incredibly popular but Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II did not fare so well. It was a big burn for the sequel to one of the best and fastest selling Star Wars games of all time. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is an action-adventure platform video game developed and published by LucasArts. It is the second installment of the The Force Unleashed multimedia project, and the sequel to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Lisa Clark

More cosplay fun – you know how we love this stuff! So here we have found another awesome Star Wars themed cosplay that we are happy to share with you today. Here we have Starkiller from The Force Unleashed: Starkiller I really love that this one has so many pictures and includes photos from the process and not just the completion.

Yoda could have been the main character in the force unleashed 2

Soeren Kamper

When The Force Unleashed 2 brought back the character that is Starkiller, most fans were confused, even more so when the story turned out to be quite short. This story was not always the plan and the original ideas for the game would have had new characters and a completely different story. When a writer for Cinelinx had a conversation with the former LucasArts creative director, Haden Blackman, they became enlightened. The ending to the first Force Unleashed game, we saw Starkiller kill himself on Death Star during the battle against Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. His sacrifice allowed his friends to have a chance to escape and they went on to become the Rebellion as we know it today, until this was wiped out by the new canon. Once LucasArts let everyone know that Starkiller would be coming back for the sequel, many fans where very confused. The game…

The Force Unleashed 3: What Might Have Been

Lisa Clark

Have you ever thought about what might have been if the developers ever got the chance to finish making The Force Unleashed 3? It’s a realistic question for fans, especially fans of the series, and now we might have a few answers to our speculations. Former LucastArts Creative Director Haden Blackman spoke with Cinelinx.com about the games and also what could be in store for the franchise in the future. Here is a snippet from the initial post by cinelinx: The Force Unleashed games were a big deal, and became multi-media endeavors for Lucasfilm, serving as a “canonical” tale set just before the events of the original trilogy.  While that’s since been changed, the games are still something fans think about, mostly because of the way it told a new Star Wars story.  While many fans weren’t pleased with the rushed and too short The Force Unleashed II, many have wondered what…

Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III – Force Unleashed Sketch

Soeren Kamper

Starwars.com has posted a pretty funny Robot Chicken: Star Wars Episode III video promoting the release of The Force Unleashed II. The video has only been available at the official Star Wars site here, but doing xmas, it has found it’s way to youtube. As the shift change on the Death Star passes, Stormtroopers head back to the barracks and others head out to their posts. Their one stop in common is the Imperial Cafeteria. Here, one lone coffee maker sits. Empty. Used. Un-refilled. Destined to serve millions of cups of coffee a day across the space station, the promise of the device remains unfulfilled. And Vader is not a morning person.

Kill Chewbacca & Han Solo with The Force Unleashed 2 DLC

Soeren Kamper

It’s no secret that both Harrison Ford and writer Lawrence Kasdan wanted to kill off Han solo in the last act of Return of the Jedi. George Lucas was against it though, so Han Solo stayed alive, and got the girl in the end. Since then George Lucas has changed his mind.  Star Wars: The force unleashed II: Endor bonus Mission, let’s you – not only slaughter shit loads of Ewoks – you also get to cold blooded murder of Han, Chewie And Leia. The video is below, if you needed something to scream “nooooooooo” at. I heard there’s also downloadable content which lets you play a character who looks like you as a child, and then an NPC who looks like George Lucas rolls in on a golf cart and rapes your character. Just what I heard. Related Posts George Lucas to Retire from Star Wars: Blames Disgruntled FansVideos with Dogfighter’s…

The official gameplay trailer for The Force Unleashed 2

Soeren Kamper

The official gameplay trailer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 has been released exclusively through Yahoo and looks pretty good. The quality of the video on the other hand is sub-par for some reason. An exclusive release of a video should be of good quality, and I hope no company makes this mistake again. Hopefully we will have a better one soon. The official facebook page also revealed that there will be a Demo on the PSN next Tuesday, Oct. 12th, while the full game will be released on Oct. 26th.

The Hutts are ticked off. Not my fault they left a copy of The Force Unleashed II lying around where I could find it. Seriously. That’s just poor planning. Never mind how they got it; I’m sure Jabba had a few precogs on his payroll. Or, maybe he didn’t. Maybe Durg- no, no. Okay, well, maybe the copy I stole is a fraud. Or, maybe they…

Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One X-Wing VR Mission title logo on starry background

On This Day in Battlefront History: The Death Star Expansion Was Unleashed at Gamescom

Soeren Kamper

Nine years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront fans got hit with one of the biggest announcements of the game’s era—EA and DICE unveiled the long-rumored Death Star Expansion Pack at Gamescom 2016, along with the now-legendary Battlefront X-Wing VR Mission for PlayStation VR. And suddenly, players everywhere were asking the same thing: “Wait… we can do what in space?” The Expansion That Took Us Inside the Ultimate Battle Station Up until that point, Star Wars Battlefront (2015) had done a fine job scratching that galactic war itch. But ground battles only got you so far—especially when the biggest moon-shaped gun in the galaxy was still off-limits. Enter the Death Star. The Death Star DLC delivered: It was Star Wars video game fantasy turned reality. Every element of the expansion leaned into cinematic drama, fan service, and fast-paced chaos in all the right ways.

Kyle Katarn in Unreal Engine 5 remake of Star Wars: Dark Forces II holding a blue lightsaber in urban sci-fi environment

Star Wars: Dark Forces II Gets a Gorgeous Unreal Engine 5 Remake – Kyle Katarn Returns in HD Glory

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

In a galaxy where AAA Star Wars games can take years to develop and mods carry the franchise’s soul on their pixelated backs, one brave fan has decided to do what Lucasfilm won’t: bring Kyle Katarn back in style. That’s right—Star Wars: Dark Forces II, the beloved 1997 FPS-slash-Jedi-origin-story, is being remade in Unreal Engine 5 by a dedicated modder, and it looks absolutely stunning. Cue the nostalgia, sharpen your lightsabers, and prepare to shoot first and ask questions later. Dark Forces II: The Cult Classic That Laid the Jedi Groundwork Before Jedi: Survivor, before The Force Unleashed, there was Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight—a gritty, groundbreaking game where you played as Kyle Katarn, a former Imperial turned mercenary turned Jedi who’s basically what you’d get if Han Solo and Obi-Wan had a grumpy lovechild. The game combined: In short, Dark Forces II was the moment Star Wars gaming got…

Jason Court Looks Back on Playing Kyle Katarn in Star Wars: Dark Forces II

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Back in 1997, before The Force Unleashed and long before Cal Kestis started leaping across Jedi temples, there was Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight—a groundbreaking Star Wars game that didn’t just expand the galaxy, but pulled us right into it with live-action cutscenes and a character who became an underground icon: Kyle Katarn. Now, nearly three decades later, Jason Court, the actor who portrayed Katarn, has stepped back into the spotlight with a rare look back at his experience playing the gruff ex-Stormtrooper-turned-reluctant-Jedi. And let’s be clear—he didn’t just voice the character. He was Kyle Katarn, in flesh and beard, filmed in front of primitive green screens and imaginary enemies. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip—it’s a deep cut that reaffirms how much of Star Wars’ gaming legacy was built on guts, grit, and awkward early CGI. Kyle Katarn: The Jedi with a Blaster (and a Backstory) Before he was…

Front view of Hela character model in Marvel Rivals after skirt removal mod

Hela Unleashed: A Mod That Redefines Her Look in Marvel Rivals

Novara Skuara

In the ever-growing world of modding, where boundaries blur and creativity runs wild, few characters are as ripe for visual reinterpretation as Hela, the Asgardian Goddess of Death herself. Enter the Marvel Rivals: Hela Skirt Removal mod, a bold yet simple tweak that lets you appreciate every pixel of power in her model—minus the flowing fabric. If you thought Hela looked intimidating before, wait until you see her stride into battle without the dramatic cape-skirt combo. She’s still terrifying, but now with extra legroom—literally. What Does This Mod Actually Do? At its core, this is a cosmetic-only mod that removes the long skirt from Hela’s character model in Marvel Rivals. That’s it. There are no gameplay alterations, no changes to her abilities, and definitely no hidden buffs (unless you count “more aerodynamic” as a stat). Her deadly prowess remains untouched, but her look? That’s another story. The removal of the…

Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force

Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force Turns 20 – A Walk Down Memory Lane

Soeren Kamper

A long time ago, in a galaxy not so far away, Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force landed in the hands of eager gamers. Released on September 21, 2004, by Ubisoft Montreal, this handheld adventure hit the Game Boy Advance right as the world was celebrating the cultural milestone of Star Wars hitting the 30-year mark. While Star Wars: Battlefront was commanding attention with its large-scale, multiplayer battles, Apprentice of the Force offered something different—an intimate, side-scrolling adventure that took players through the journey of Luke Skywalker across the original Star Wars trilogy. For many, it was a bite-sized Star Wars experience that proved you didn’t need a big screen to wield a lightsaber and save the galaxy. Twenty years later, we revisit this lesser-known gem that may not have shaken the gaming world like its larger console brethren but still holds a unique place in Star Wars video…
