Play as Cassian Andor in Star Wars Battlefront II – Mod Inspired by Andor Season 2

Star Wars Battlefront II Cassian Andor Mod – Strike Back Against the Empire in Rogue Style

April 24, 2025July 20, 2025 Novara Skuara

Cassian Andor isn’t the flashiest rebel in the galaxy, but he’s arguably one of the most compelling. He doesn’t wield a lightsaber, doesn’t wear flashy robes, and definitely doesn’t wait around for destiny to call. He just gets the job done. So it’s fitting—and, frankly, long overdue—that modders brought him into Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) with the Fight the Empire as Cassian Andor mod. This mod lets you bring Cassian’s gritty, grounded energy straight into the heart of the battlefield. Whether you’re storming Imperial bases on Endor or holding your ground on Scarif, you’ll finally be able to do it wearing the jacket of one of the Rebellion’s most effective (and morally conflicted) operatives. And now that Andor Season 2 just launched a few days ago, what better time to relive the show’s tension-filled espionage, but with a lot more blaster fire and respawns? Let’s take a closer look…

It’s aged surprisingly well, so let’s go back to that pivotal moment in Star Wars gaming and break down why Capital Supremacy still matters. ⚔️ What Was Capital Supremacy? At its core, Capital Supremacy was DICE’s answer to players who wanted something more tactical, more immersive, and just a little more Clone Wars.

Star Wars: Republic Commando – Celebrating 20 Years of Tactical Squad Action

March 1, 2025March 1, 2025 gingetattoo

Two decades ago, Star Wars: Republic Commando dropped onto the gaming scene, offering a completely new take on the Star Wars universe. Released on February 28, 2005, by LucasArts, this tactical first-person shooter put players in the boots of Delta Squad, an elite team of Clone Commandos operating behind enemy lines. Unlike the lightsaber-swinging, Force-powered heroes of other Star Wars games, Republic Commando focused on the gritty, boots-on-the-ground warfare of the Clone Wars. A New Take on Star Wars Combat Before Republic Commando, most Star Wars games revolved around Jedi, Sith, and space battles. This game, however, took a different approach, dropping players into intense, squad-based action. As RC-1138 (a.k.a. Boss), players led a team of elite clones—Fixer, Scorch, and Sev—each with distinct personalities and skills. The squad-based mechanics, advanced AI, and immersive atmosphere made it one of the most beloved shooters in the Star Wars universe. Gameplay That Still…

A Game That Put Players in the Cockpit Prior to X-Wing Alliance, the X-Wing and TIE Fighter series had already set a high standard for space combat simulators. However, X-Wing Alliance expanded on its predecessors in ways that truly made it stand out. For the first time, players were given control of a Corellian YT-1300 freighter—essentially a close relative of the iconic Millennium Falcon—allowing for larger ship engagements beyond traditional starfighter combat. The game featured a dynamic campaign that followed the story of Ace Azzameen,…

Star Wars Battlefront II: The Chosen One Update Turns Six

February 27, 2025March 1, 2025 Soeren Kamper

Six years ago, Star Wars Battlefront II players witnessed the arrival of one of the most highly anticipated updates in the game’s history: The Chosen One Update. This patch didn’t just bring any Jedi—it introduced the legendary Anakin Skywalker, alongside the elite 501st Legion and Coruscant Guard. With the addition of the Emote Wheel, clone legion updates, and multiple quality-of-life improvements, this update became a defining moment for the game. Anakin Skywalker: The Most Powerful Hero? One of the biggest highlights of this update was the arrival of Anakin Skywalker, voiced by Matt Lanter. Unlike any other hero in Battlefront II, Anakin had unique abilities that set him apart: With these abilities, Anakin quickly became one of the most dominant heroes in the game—so much so that he later required balance adjustments to keep things fair. His damage output and tanky nature made him an unstoppable force, leading to many…

Star Wars: X-Wing Turns 31 – A Look Back at the Game That Made Us Rebel Pilots

February 15, 2025February 15, 2025 gingetattoo

On this day in 1993, Star Wars: X-Wing launched players into the cockpit of one of the most legendary starfighters in sci-fi history. It was the first game that truly made players feel like Rebel pilots, dodging TIE Fighters, protecting the fleet, and taking on the Empire’s deadliest warships in deep space. Before X-Wing, Star Wars space games were primarily arcade-style shooters, focused on fast reflexes rather than strategy. LucasArts changed everything with this fully immersive, story-driven space combat simulator. Now, 31 years later, X-Wing is still regarded as one of the most important Star Wars games ever made. Let’s take a deep dive into how it changed gaming, why it remains relevant today, and how it helped spawn an entire line of comics and novels that expanded the lore of the Rebel starfighter pilots. 👉 Want to own a piece of Star Wars gaming history?

The Ethics of Clone Armies: Politics and Morality in the Star Wars Universe

December 23, 2024December 23, 2024 Soeren Kamper

Few elements of the Star Wars universe spark as much moral and philosophical debate as the clone armies of the Republic. Born in test tubes and bred for war, the clones raise thorny questions about autonomy, rights, and the ethics of creating life solely for combat. This isn’t just a Star Wars problem—it’s a deep dive into politics, morality, and the gray areas in galactic ethics. Let’s journey to a galaxy far, far away and unpack the ethical and political implications of the Republic’s reliance on clone armies. Spoiler alert: things get messy. The Origins of the Clone Army: A Political Gamble The clone army wasn’t just a military decision; it was a political maneuver. Commissioned by the Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas (though with some suspicious Sith meddling), the Republic’s reliance on clones was meant to solve an urgent crisis—the threat of the Separatists. At first glance, the plan seemed genius….

Exploring the Impact of Trade and Economic Policies on Star Wars Politics: How Blockades, Taxes, and Corporate Power Shaped the Galactic Struggle

November 9, 2024November 9, 2024 Soeren Kamper

Ah, the grand galaxy of Star Wars, where epic space battles rage, the Force flows, and lightsabers ignite in dazzling displays of Jedi skill. But for all the flash and dazzle, do you know what really makes the galaxy tick? Nope, it’s not the Force, or even the Jedi Council’s questionable decision-making. It’s economics, baby! Trade disputes, taxes, and economic policies have a bigger role in galactic politics than even Jar Jar Binks (shocking, I know). To understand why a movie series set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” cares so much about trade disputes, we have to dig deep into how economic power defines political power.
