Medicine in the Star Wars universe has always been a fascinating topic for fans of the franchise. From bacta tanks to advanced prosthetics, the technology and innovations in medicine have played a significant role in the series.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is Pretty Amazing…

January 8, 2023January 8, 2023 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Star Wars Battlefront 2, the reboot of the 2005 game of the same name, was released in 2017 to mixed reactions. Many players were disappointed with the heavy monetization of the game, which included loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics that gave players who were willing to spend extra money an unfair advantage over those who were not. These mechanics were so controversial that Disney, the owner of the Star Wars franchise, stepped in and told the developer, EA DICE, that the monetization was unbecoming of a Star Wars game. Despite the initial negative reception, EA DICE eventually stripped out all of the loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics from the game, and many players now consider it to be “good.” I decided to try it for myself and see what the game had to offer modern audiences. First and foremost, the graphics in Battlefront 2 are absolutely stunning. The attention to…
