Battlefront II Pit Droid Mod: When Yoda Gets Replaced by a Space Gremlin with a Wrench

May 21, 2025May 21, 2025 Novara Skuara

It finally happened. Yoda has been replaced—and not by some mighty Jedi or even a Sith-turned-hero redemption arc. Nope. He’s been swapped out for a Pit Droid. That’s right.

This is chaos. And it’s glorious. What Is the Pit Droid (Yoda Replacer) Mod?

5 Star Wars Characters That Would Be Right at Home in Feudal Japan

April 15, 2025April 15, 2025 Soeren Kamper

Because some Jedi were already halfway to samurai. As we continue our 5-part series leading up to Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 (happening April 18–20 in Tokyo), we’re diving into the cultural and visual DNA that connects Star Wars to Japanese history. The connections run deeper than lightsabers and robes—at its core, the galaxy far, far away shares archetypes, values, and mythologies with the world of feudal Japan. The Jedi echo the discipline of the samurai. The Sith carry the tragic pride of fallen warlords. Even the Force itself resonates with Zen-like duality and cosmic harmony. This time, we’re going full speculative fiction: imagining iconic Star Wars characters reimagined as figures from feudal Japan. If George Lucas drew from Kurosawa’s lens, let’s step all the way through the torii gate and recast the galaxy as if it were ruled by shogun and shinobi. We’re not just swapping outfits—we’re reinterpreting these…

April 13, 2025April 13, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn may have only appeared in one live-action Star Wars film, but his legacy continues to echo across the galaxy far, far away. Mentor to Obi-Wan Kenobi, believer in the Living Force, and the first Jedi to uncover the path to immortality—Qui-Gon left a lasting mark. But how old was he when we met him in The Phantom Menace? How long was he active as a Jedi Knight and Master? Let’s dive into the Star Wars timeline to uncover the age of one of the Jedi Order’s most revered (and rebellious) members. 📅 When Was Qui-Gon Jinn Born? According to official Star Wars canon, Qui-Gon Jinn was born in 92 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). He was discovered by the Jedi Order at a young age and began his training at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. He later became the Padawan of Count Dooku, before eventually…

The atmosphere is reverent and epic, symbolizing the timeless bridge between samurai tradition and the Star Wars galaxy.

This installment is all about what you feel when watching a lightsaber duel unfold in silence, when a Jedi lowers their blade instead of striking, or when a warrior stands alone against impossible odds. These moments aren’t just cinematic choices—they’re spiritual, philosophical, and visual echoes of samurai storytelling. Drawing deeply from Akira Kurosawa’s films, Bushidō ethics, and Zen Buddhist principles, these scenes resonate with the ancient traditions of Japan. Let’s examine the most powerful Star Wars moments that feel straight out of a samurai movie—and why they still hit just as hard today. The Samurai Legacy That Reached Hollywood Before we dive in, it’s worth remembering that Star Wars didn’t emerge in a…

As Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 approaches, there’s no better time to revisit a truth that’s long been encoded in the DNA of the galaxy far, far away: Star Wars is deeply influenced by Japanese culture. Before the Jedi donned robes and raised their lightsabers, before Darth Vader became the face of cinematic villainy, and before the first spaceship ever roared across a silver screen, Star Wars was already drawing from a rich and ancient source: Japanese culture. As Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 approaches, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how deeply the saga is rooted in Japan’s artistic, philosophical, and martial traditions. Because Star Wars isn’t just an epic space opera—it’s a cultural fusion. A mythic tale told through the lens of samurai ethics, Zen philosophy, and the cinematic brilliance of Akira Kurosawa. From the silent strength of Darth Vader’s armor—shaped by samurai design—to the spiritual weight…

How Old Is Obi-Wan Kenobi? A Timeline Breakdown Across the Star Wars Saga

April 3, 2025April 3, 2025 gingetattoo

From Jedi apprentice to Master of sass and sacrifice, Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of Star Wars’ most iconic characters. But with appearances in nearly every era of the galaxy—from prequels to posthumous Force ghost cameos—keeping track of how old he is at each stage isn’t as simple as asking a Jedi holocron. Let’s break down the timeline of Obi-Wan’s life, using the standard Star Wars calendar: BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). That way, we can properly chart the growth (and grumpiness) of the galaxy’s most emotionally exhausted Jedi. 🍼 Obi-Wan’s Birth – 57 BBY Age: 0 Obi-Wan Kenobi was born in 57 BBY on the planet Stewjon (a name George Lucas made up on the spot during an interview—seriously). Like many Jedi, he was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at a young age to begin his training. 🧑‍🎓 The Phantom…
