New Star Wars Game Info Leaked Online: First Assault

Lisa Clark

Star Wars: First Assault footage was leaked to Kotaku and is supposed to be the predecessor to Battlefront III. While we’re reading that this game could also be in limbo (like 1313), we’re hoping it’s still going to production. Some say it’s just another generic shooter game but there are fans who had high hopes for the potential of Star Wars: First Assault . As Kotaku posted on March 11th: Today, Kotaku can reveal that Star Wars: First Assault is a downloadable multiplayer shooter that was originally slated for release this spring. The game supports up to 16 players—one eight-person team of rebels and one eight-person team of Stormtroopers—as they face off on Star Wars worlds like Bespin and Tatooine. And according to one person familiar with the project, First Assault is “step zero” to the heavily-rumored, highly-anticipated Star Wars: Battlefront III. If First Assault sells well—assuming it is released at all—the third Battlefront could be next. They go on to describe the game in…

On This Day in Battlefront: The Battle of Geonosis Update Dropped 7 Years Ago — And It Was Peak Clone Wars Gaming

gingetattoo

Seven years ago today, Star Wars Battlefront II delivered one of the biggest and most beloved updates in the game’s entire lifespan: The Battle of Geonosis. This wasn’t a small patch. It wasn’t a balance tweak. It was a full-blown content explosion — the kind of “oh wow, they actually did it” moment that reminded players why they fell in love with Battlefront in the first place. And honestly? It still holds up as one of the greatest Clone Wars experiences ever put into a Star Wars shooter. A Massive Galactic Assault Map That Felt Like a Real War The Geonosis Galactic Assault map was huge — not “Battlefront huge,” but legit battlefield huge. Wide open dunes, rocky caverns, marching walkers, war dust everywhere, and that orange haze that instantly screams “we are so, so doomed.” For many players, this was the first time Battlefront II truly felt like: Snipers,…

Ozzy Osbourne and Star Wars: A Cosmic Crossroads of Pop Culture

Soeren Kamper

From shared fan moments and musical mashups to thematic parallels in mythic storytelling, the Prince of Darkness and the space opera saga have more in common than one might expect. What follows is a narrative exploration of how Ozzy’s world and Star Wars have crossed paths in culture, art, and fandom – complete with surprising cameos, creative mashups, and mythical parallels that bridge the gap between a bat-biting rock legend and a galaxy far, far away. The Prince of Darkness at Skywalker Ranch In May 1999, the worlds of heavy metal and Jedi collided in an unlikely setting: George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch.

Star Wars Battlefront II: CAPTAIN CARDINAL 2026 – A Crimson Statement in the First Order

Novara Skuara

BB-9E droid in Battlefront II with fire and destruction in the background

Better BB-9E Mod for Star Wars Battlefront II: The Droid Glow-Up You Didn’t Know You Needed

Novara Skuara

BB-9E—aka the First Order’s answer to BB-8—has never exactly been the most intimidating presence on the battlefield. Sure, he rolls around zapping enemies and buffing teammates like a loyal space-Roomba, but let’s face it: his default design in Star Wars: Battlefront II felt like he was built in a hurry and approved by a middle manager with a clipboard. Enter the Better BB-9E mod. It’s sleek. It’s shiny. It’s the villainous droid upgrade the game forgot to give you. This visual overhaul doesn’t just buff aesthetics—it delivers the kind of polished intimidation BB-9E always deserved. Why BB-9E Deserves Better Let’s be honest. When you pick a hero in Battlefront II, BB-9E is rarely your first choice—unless you’re trying to win a bet or play the long game in co-op. He’s functional, but flashy? Not so much. That’s exactly why the Better BB-9E mod exists. It doesn’t rewrite the gameplay mechanics…

Star Wars Battlefront II Update Fixes Error Code 721 — Finally, a Stable Connection to the Galaxy

gingetattoo

After years of players mashing the “Retry” button like it was a QTE on Mustafar, Star Wars Battlefront II has finally fixed Error Code: 721 — the infamous message that turned online matchmaking into a Sith trial. If you’ve ever tried logging in, only to be greeted with “Failed to connect to the EA Servers,” you already know the struggle. But as of this week, a new update has resolved the issue, and galactic peace (or at least stable matchmaking) has been restored. 🛠️ What Is Error Code 721 in Battlefront 2? In technical terms, Error 721 is what happens when your game refuses to connect to EA’s online services. In emotional terms, it’s the equivalent of Darth Vader Force-choking your internet connection. For some players, this meant retrying the login screen five, ten, or twenty times before finally loading into a match — if they were lucky. It affected…
