May 9, 2024May 9, 2024 Novara Skuara

The 2024 Star Wars event in Fortnite has introduced Darth Vader as a formidable mini-boss, but not without controversy. Following significant player feedback regarding the difficulty of the encounter, Epic Games has swiftly adjusted his stats to improve the gameplay experience. Feedback on Star Wars Event and Darth Vader’s Initial Setup This year’s Star Wars event has not quite lived up to expectations, with much of the focus seemingly diverted to the Lego Fortnite mode. Fans have expressed disappointment over the limited number of new skins, items, and gameplay mechanics introduced. Adding to the frustration was the initial setup of Darth Vader, whose impressive strength made him a particularly challenging opponent. Technical Issues Compounding Frustration Complications have also arisen from other aspects of the event, notably the Yoda Backbling introduced last week. This item caused disruptions by triggering squad crashes when paired with the Zoidberg Scuttle emote, leading to its…

Darth Plagueis, famously known as the Wise, and perhaps even more famously known as the guy who couldn’t save himself from his own apprentice, has sparked the imaginations of Star Wars fans across the galaxy. This Sith Lord’s mysterious past and debated demise make him the Yoda of the dark side when it comes to fan theories. Let’s dive into the swirling vortex of speculation surrounding the master of none other than Emperor Palpatine himself. 1. The Immortal Sith Theory: Did Plagueis Ever Really Die? Let’s start with the undead elephant in the room. Some fans believe Darth Plagueis never actually died. That’s right—this theory suggests that he’s been lurking in the shadows, pulling the strings, and manipulating galactic events like a dark side puppet master. If true, Plagueis could give Palpatine a run for his money in the sinister schemer department. According to this fan favorite, Plagueis might have…

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes Developer Insights: Darth Revan

March 20, 2019May 24, 2024 Soeren Kamper

The Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, CG_SBCrumb, sat down with CG_ParkingInstructor to discuss Darth Revan and where this character fits into Galaxy of Heroes. If you haven’t met CG_Parkinginstructor, he is a designer who mainly works on character creation and was the main designer on Darth Traya, Darth Sion, Chewbacca, and Ahsoka Tano (Fulcrum) among many others. OVERVIEW SBC: So who is the Darth Revan character?PI: Darth Revan is a dominant leader for the new Sith Empire faction and powers up a team by weakening its own defensive capabilities. Darth Revan will lead a very aggressive Sith Empire team that aims to take down enemies quickly but with a different approach than most. Darth Revan’s kit is focused on effectively taking down the enemy leader while applying beneficial debuffs. We think this will be a very powerful character with longevity in PvP and do fairly well in raids. Check out Darth Revan’s kit…

RUMOR: Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 May Be in Development — Again

June 30, 2025June 30, 2025 Soeren Kamper

Well, well, well… it looks like old Ben Kenobi might not be done lurking around desert caves and slicing through stormtroopers with casual elegance. Rumors are once again swirling across the galaxy that Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 is back on the table at Lucasfilm. This time, it’s not just random cantina chatter—it comes from one of the internet’s more credible scoopers, DanielRPK on X, who claims that Season 2 is officially in development. No blinking blue hologram announcement from Lucasfilm yet, but that hasn’t stopped the Star Wars community from erupting like a Death Star hit by proton torpedoes. Let’s break it all down like it’s Mustafar circa 19 BBY. Why Season 2 Makes (Some) Sense The first season of Obi-Wan Kenobi was officially branded as a “limited series,” complete with a tidy story arc and just enough nostalgia bait to keep Disney+ servers groaning under the weight of repeated…

8 Years Since the Battlefront II Alpha Stormed PC: Remember This?

June 29, 2025June 29, 2025 gingetattoo

Eight years ago, on June 29, 2017, a select group of lucky players got their first hands-on experience with Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) during its closed Alpha on PC. If you were part of that early wave, you probably still remember the sheer chaos of Naboo, the strangely OP Boba Fett builds, and the wildly mixed expectations hanging over EA DICE like a Death Star. It wasn’t just a test—it was a statement. And depending on who you asked, it was either a teaser of greatness to come or a glimpse of the Battlefront’s brewing identity crisis. What Was the Star Wars Battlefront II Alpha? The Alpha was a tightly controlled early-access test that gave PC players a bite-sized preview of what DICE and EA had cooked up for their next-gen Star Wars shooter. Unlike the controversial 2015 reboot, Battlefront II promised more content at launch, more eras, and—most…

How Old Is Ezra Bridger? Tracking the Ghost Crew’s Young Jedi Through the Galaxy

June 23, 2025June 23, 2025 gingetattoo

In a galaxy filled with Jedi, Sith, clones, Mandalorians, and the occasional space whale, Star Wars Rebels introduced us to a new kind of hero—Ezra Bridger. He wasn’t born into royalty, prophecy, or midi-chlorian privilege. Nope. Ezra was just a scrappy street kid from Lothal with a sharp tongue and a stronger connection to the Force than he realized. Over the years, he’s gone from thief to Jedi-in-training to straight-up galactic myth. But let’s answer the question fans keep Googling: How old is Ezra Bridger? Who Is Ezra Bridger? Before we dig into the math, let’s do a quick character refresher. Ezra Bridger first appears in Star Wars Rebels, a series set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. He starts off as a Force-sensitive orphan with a bit of an attitude problem (think space Aladdin), and over time becomes a key player in the early days of…

June 21, 2025June 21, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

What happens when a legendary Star Wars shooter goes on sale for the price of a vending machine soda? It blows up the charts—literally. Star Wars Battlefront II just broke its all-time concurrent player record on Steam, with over 20,000 players jumping into the galaxy far, far away as of June 21, 2025. And the Force behind this resurgence? A whopping 90% discount on the game. A Comeback Story That’s Almost Canon-Worthy Let’s be honest—Battlefront II didn’t exactly launch as the chosen one back in 2017. Thanks to infamous loot box drama and a progression system that felt more like Sith alchemy than balanced gameplay, it became the poster child for what not to do in AAA monetization. But EA and DICE turned things around. Fast forward to today, and it’s now regarded as one of the most polished and content-rich Star Wars multiplayer experiences available. Now, with a $3.99…

Kathleen Kennedy Teases More Standalone Star Wars Films Like Starfighter

Kathleen Kennedy Is Plotting a New Star Wars Strategy — And It Might Just Work

June 18, 2025June 18, 2025 gingetattoo

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has never been afraid to stir the pot in the galaxy far, far away. Her latest comment? A tease that’s caught the hyperspace lane of every Star Wars watcher: more standalone films like the upcoming Starfighter could be on the way. So yes, while the Skywalker saga may be retired (again), and Disney+ is drowning in Jedi side quests and bounty hunter brooding, it looks like Lucasfilm is preparing to take more creative risks on the big screen — and it might actually be the most strategic move they’ve made since reviving Darth Maul’s legs. What Did Kathleen Kennedy Say? In a recent interview, Kennedy praised the creative potential of Starfighter — a film still shrouded in mystery, but reportedly more character-focused, intimate, and unburdened by galactic prophecy. “It’s not just about trilogies anymore,” she said. “Standalone movies give us freedom to tell stories that don’t…

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

June 8, 2025June 8, 2025 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…

When Modding Goes Full Throttle: Enter EVE FUTA Erect

June 8, 2025June 15, 2025 Novara Skuara

Let’s be honest—Stellar Blade was never playing it safe in the first place. But if you thought the default design for Eve was already pushing some limits, the EVE FUTA Erect Mod walks straight past them, kicks the door down, and puts on a spotlight. This mod is not here to whisper or hint. It’s loud, unapologetically erotic, and very, very specific in its vision. And in the ever-expanding universe of NSFW game mods, that kind of directness is its own form of art. What Does the EVE FUTA Erect Mod Actually Do? At its core, this mod is all about reimagining Eve’s anatomy in a very NSFW, very futanari way—complete with full, erect detail. Unlike some softer visual mods that hide behind euphemism or ambiguity, this one is crystal clear in its delivery. It doesn’t just modify her figure; it transforms her into a bold, hyper-erotic version of herself….

Comic Con Liverpool 2025: Cameron Monaghan Brings the Force to the Stage

June 7, 2025June 7, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

While most people spent May 3rd and 4th recovering from their Star Wars Day hangovers, thousands made the pilgrimage to Exhibition Centre Liverpool for Comic Con Liverpool 2025—and the Force was definitely strong with this one. Among the galaxy of star-studded guests, one name sparked a collective Jedi mind-meld: Cameron Monaghan, the man behind Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. Spoiler alert: Yes, he talked about that lightsaber scene. Lightsabers, Liverpudlians, and a Live Q&A Cameron Monaghan took the stage for a highly anticipated Q&A session that had the crowd buzzing faster than a hyperdrive malfunction. Known not just for his Jedi role, but also for his chilling turn as Jerome in Gotham, Monaghan shared behind-the-scenes stories, insights into motion-capture acting, and how it feels to be a virtual action figure with better abs than most real humans. The Q&A covered everything from training with…

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes – Temple Guard Hotfix Finally Deploys (and It’s About Time)

June 6, 2025June 6, 2025 gingetattoo

If you’ve been staring at your Temple Guard in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes wondering why he’s less “noble Jedi protector” and more “broken training droid,” you’re not alone. EA just dropped a much-needed hotfix on June 5, 2025, aimed at calming the unrest in the Force — or at least fixing a few inventory-related headaches. Let’s break down what happened, what’s fixed, and what it all means for your holotable strategy (and your digital sanity). 🚨 The Temple Guard FDC Drama: What Went Wrong? Here’s the short version: players were supposed to receive a Temple Guard FDC (Fully Developed Character) after meeting specific in-game conditions. But for many, that character came in slightly undercooked — as in, Level 0 undercooked. Imagine unboxing a rare Jedi Knight only to realize he forgot how to hold a lightsaber. That was basically the vibe. Naturally, chaos ensued. Forums were lit, Reddit was…

If you’ve ever played Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) and thought, “Why hasn’t Mara Jade shown up yet?”—you’re not alone. She’s one of the most iconic figures from the Star Wars Legends timeline, a red-headed Force-user who went from Emperor’s Hand to Jedi Master (and briefly Mrs. Skywalker, if you’re deep in the lore). While EA may not be rushing to canonize her anytime soon, modders once again save the galaxy. The Mara Jade – Star Cards mod adds a sleek and lore-friendly upgrade to your Battlefront experience by injecting custom-designed Star Cards featuring Mara herself. No new character model?

May 29, 2025May 29, 2025 Novara Skuara

For a game that already lets you pit Yoda against Darth Maul in the ruins of Naboo, you’d think there wouldn’t be many ways to crank up the chaos in Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017). But then comes a mod that basically says, “What if the Force was turned up to 11?” Introducing the Play as Starkiller mod, which drops the galaxy’s most unhinged apprentice straight into EA’s star-studded sandbox.

There’s something oddly comforting about blasting stormtroopers across Tatooine while your buddy yells into the mic about being Force-pushed off a cliff. But what happens when you’re on PC and they’re stuck on console? Can you actually squad up in Star Wars Battlefront 2 across platforms in 2025? Or are you doomed to fly solo like a moody smuggler? It’s been years since the game’s launch, and multiplayer titles have come a long way—especially in the crossplay department. Let’s break down the facts, the fiction, and the occasional Force ghost when it comes to cross-platform play in Battlefront 2. Crossplay in Battlefront 2: Is It Possible? Let’s rip the bacta patch off right away:No, Star Wars Battlefront 2 does not support crossplay.
