Lego Star Wars: Rise of TT Games

August 5, 2019November 20, 2021 Lisa Clark

We’ve been talking about this new Lego Star Wars game and I’ve gotta tell ya, I am excited about it! Traveler’s Tales has been bringing us great Lego games for a very long time now. In fact, they’ve been putting out at least one per year for more than 15 years now. Some of those years, the UK developer put out as many as three Elgo games. They’ve made games on all your favorite famous IPs and franchises and it has been a long, glorious ride. While Lego has made their presence in video games before this, but it was the release of 2005 Lego Star Wars: The Video Game that really launched the Lego game fad.

Star Wars 1313 – What Could Have Been

July 20, 2019November 20, 2021 Lisa Clark

There have been almost too many canceled Star Wars games to count, but one that makes us really sad is Star Wars 1313. It had a lot of potential, but unfortunately was trashed before it would get to see the light of day. To recap for those who don’t remember, this wasn’t the canceled Star Wars game from Visceral Games, or the open world one that came right after the closing of Visceral. This was, indeed, another Star Wars games, from back when LucasArts was still making the games themselves. Star Wars 1313 predates Lucasfilm getting bought by Disney and the licensing of Star Wars games going to EA. Star Wars 1313 was canceled back in 2013, after it had been put on hold for a year, back in 2012. So what’s new? Last month, Naughty Dog animator Jonathan Cooper shared an animation on Twitter giving us a little look…

The Gambling World in Star Wars

April 3, 2019November 8, 2021 Soeren Kamper

Throughout the Star Wars franchise, gambling has played a big part in the lives of our favourite characters. In one of the most recent movies, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, a whole new city based purely around gambling was introduced to the scene, called Canto Bight. This city is only for the wealthiest in the universe and is filled with racetracks and casinos. Here we take a look at gambling in the Star Wars franchise, including some of the most famous scenes and casinos in which gambling took place. The Casinos in Star Wars With Star Wars being a very family-friendly franchise, the casinos are not seen for very long throughout the movies, but they are often visited and mentioned in many of the spin-off pieces and this proves just how much gambling is a part of the universe in Star Wars. There are a few casinos that we see…

Star Wars Games: Top 5 Honourable Mentions

March 13, 2019November 8, 2021 Soeren Kamper

Star Wars games are like a fine wine – they only age better with time. But to be fair, the saga had its ups and downs throughout almost three decades of existence on the gaming market. Back in the mid-1990s and ‘00s, there have been more than two dozen Star Wars universe-themed games released explicitly for PC, and frankly, not every release fulfilled the developer expectations. Just like the movies, some games are remembered much more fondly than others. There’s even this common saying about the whole deal – for every beloved Star Wars game, there’s half-dozen of the ‘ehh’ ones. But today is not about the dark side of the Star Wars games industry. Today’s all about those all-time classics, amongst which, there’s even a game that, by some fans, is considered as being better than the entire film saga! Is the force still strong with such a bold…

February 26, 2019November 7, 2021 Soeren Kamper

Anakin Skywalker is coming to the next big update for Star Wars: Battlefront 2, which is scheduled for tomorrow. He will be joining the rebel/ non imperial side, and the devs have promised that he’s going to be “one of the strongest light side heroes in Battlefront II.” He should be strong lore-wise, of course, but it sounds like he could be a great big problem in terms of gameplay. Here is the news: Star Wars™Battlefront™ II’s The Chosen One Update* is slated to go live February 27, and as the name suggests, it’s time for one of the renowned heroes from the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker**, to lead the way on the battlefront.

Star Wars: EA Reportedly Will Not Let BioWare Make KOTOR Games

January 22, 2019November 7, 2021 Lisa Clark

How long have KOTOR fans been talking about a new game? Over the years, we’ve heard a lot of talk of BioWare making a new KOTOR game the fans would love to see it happen. But now, EA has the contract on all Star Wars games and it doesn’t seem like its in the cards. BioWare has supposedly asked EA multiple times for permission to make a new KOTOR game. “They’ve tried to make it happen, more than once from what I’ve heard,” says Kotaku’s Jason Schreier on Twitter in response to a question about BioWare making another KOTOR game. “No luck.” Ugh, shot down again! That seems to be par for the course when it comes to a new KOTOR, but is there more to this tweet? There’s a story on DenofGeek about it that breaks it all down for us. “On its own, there’s not much information there, but there is more…

SWTOR Game Update 5.10.1 is Now Live on the PTS

SWTOR Thoughts on 5.10: The Good, the Bad, and the Eeehhhhhs [Full Spoilers]

January 10, 2019May 10, 2022 Editor

Happy new year!Now that that’s out of the way, it’s finally time for me to turn my attention to going over as much of what came with 5.10 as possible. Since this was a fairly major story patch, the most significant we’ve had since 5.0’s nine Eternal Throne chapters, I decided to enact my “one-month spoiler-free” safety window, hence why it’s taken me so long to get around to posting this. Of course, as is the way of things, this ‘safety protocol’ was rendered somewhat nullified as BioWare promptly began churning out full spoilers for the appearance of a certain character on their website and social media channels. I can’t say I blame them, as this move will undoubtedly attract several long-gone veterans just for this update alone.Anyway, on with the stuff. ~~~The GoodOssus: The Characters I’ve already touched on the returning companions in this post, so I won’t touch on them again here.

The Concept of Money in Star Wars Universe Explained

November 15, 2018August 17, 2024 Soeren Kamper

When it comes to money, our routine life and soft science fiction are kinds of antipodes. The first one is based on objective reality, the second is totally built on imagination. Being a crucial aspect of reality, money is often simplified in sci-fi movies, especially in those which tread a fine line between fantasy and adventure fiction. Their plot may revolve around social inequality, power, money-related crimes, or relationships between rich and poor, but never revolves around money itself. Thus, it may be hard to grasp the role of money in a fantasy movie. Star Wars belongs more to a space opera genre rather than to sci-fi, being focused on moral, political and spiritual issues instead of revealing an economical side of the universe. But today we are going to uncover the concepts of currency, trading system, and making money in the Galaxy. Currencies in the Galaxy First of…
