August 6, 2010July 28, 2020 Soeren Kamper

The Star Wars: The Old Republic website has announced that all classes in the upcoming MMO will include different alien species to play as. Aside from Chiss, Rattataki, and Twil’lek, fans haven’t heard a lot about the playable races in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Now Players can look forward to becoming a Sith Pureblood, a Miraluka, a Mirialan, or a Zabrak. So far we’ve only dropped hints about the range of playable species in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. You may have heard about the Rattataki Bounty Hunter, Chiss Imperial Agent, or the Twi’lek Smuggler, but we can tell you now that all classes will include optional non-human species. Sith Purebloods are “the red-skinned descendants of such notorious Sith Lords as Naga Sadow and Marka Ragnos.” SW:TOR is the first video game allowing players to choose the original Sith as a playable race.

Know your lore: Jedi Exile

May 16, 2010July 28, 2020 Soeren Kamper

The Jedi Exile was created by Obsidian Entertainment as the primary protagonist in the 2005 PC and Xbox video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords . As of this time, the character called the Jedi Exile has no name, because the player is prompted to create one, or select a randomly generated identity at the start of the game. Because of this, in game characters only refer to her as “the exile.”Although the character’s canon allegiance has not been stated precisely, she is called a “heroine” in The New Essential Guide to Droids. This is backed up by the fact that, as of the release of The Sith Lords, every canon game ending has been the light side version. The Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide has confirmed that the light-side ending is indeed the canonical one. The Exile’s Jedi class is as…

Here’s the official news: The twenty-first issue of Threat of Peace™ begins with Lord Angral returning to Korriban in full fury.

Resident Evil 4 (2023) Clone Scout Trooper Mod – When the Empire Crashes the Village

August 18, 2025August 21, 2025 Novara Skuara

Survival horror and Star Wars don’t usually share the same battlefield, but modders thrive on asking “why not?” Enter the Resident Evil 4 (2023) Clone Scout Trooper mod, which lets you trade Leon’s rugged jacket for the cold, polished armor of the Galactic Republic’s frontline scouts. Suddenly, surviving parasite-infested villagers feels less like a horror campaign and more like a Black Ops mission on Endor gone wrong. Download the Clone Scout Trooper mod here Why Resident Evil 4 and Star Wars Actually Work Together At first glance, swapping Leon for a Clone Scout Trooper seems bizarre—after all, you’re moving from lightsabers and starfighters to chainsaws and crossbows. But think about it: both Resident Evil and Star Wars thrive on tension, strategy, and impossible odds. The Ganados may not be stormtroopers, but they come in relentless waves just the same. Add in the eerie village setting and you almost get the…

July 17, 2025July 20, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

In a galaxy where AAA Star Wars games can take years to develop and mods carry the franchise’s soul on their pixelated backs, one brave fan has decided to do what Lucasfilm won’t: bring Kyle Katarn back in style. That’s right—Star Wars: Dark Forces II, the beloved 1997 FPS-slash-Jedi-origin-story, is being remade in Unreal Engine 5 by a dedicated modder, and it looks absolutely stunning. Cue the nostalgia, sharpen your lightsabers, and prepare to shoot first and ask questions later.

How Old Is Saw Gerrera? The Age of a Rebel Extremist in Star Wars

May 9, 2025May 9, 2025 Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Saw Gerrera is one of the most influential rebel fighters in the Star Wars universe. First introduced in The Clone Wars, he went on to appear in Rebels, Jedi: Fallen Order, and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. His radical approach to fighting the Empire set him apart from the likes of Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, cementing his reputation as the original “extremist” in the Rebel Alliance. But how old is Saw Gerrera during all these events? Let’s track his age across the galaxy’s most defining moments. 🍼 Saw Gerrera’s Birth and Early Life Saw Gerrera was born on Onderon around 52 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). This would place him slightly older than Anakin Skywalker, who was born in 41 BBY. Saw grew up on Onderon, a jungle-heavy planet often caught in political strife, which would later become the perfect training ground for his rebellion. He was…

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith Game Turns 20 Today… and It’s Still Got the High Ground

May 4, 2025May 4, 2025 gingetattoo

On this very day back in 2005, the Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith video game was unleashed upon the galaxy—and also onto PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Game Boy Advance. Now, two decades later, it stands as a beautifully chaotic reminder of the golden era when movie tie-in games were a thing and nobody questioned why Jedi had infinite lives. Sure, the movie was filled with heartbreak, lava, and sand-related betrayal. But the game? The game gave you the chance to play through all of it—with lightsaber combos, co-op duels, and more Force powers than Palpatine on an energy drink. So let’s jump into hyperspace and take a nostalgic look at what made this game such a cult favorite—and why, 20 years later, it still deserves a round of applause from anyone who’s ever yelled, “You were the Chosen One!” into their controller. 🎮 What Was the…

Starfield: Star Wars Resources – Aliens and Droids Mod Adds Galactic Depth to Bethesda’s Universe

April 24, 2025July 20, 2025 Novara Skuara

Starfield was already aiming for the stars with its ambitious open-world (or should we say, open-galaxy) RPG formula. But of course, modders saw that vast expanse and said, “You know what this game needs? More aliens. More droids. And maybe just a hint of galactic rebellion.” Enter the Star Wars Resources: Aliens and Droids mod, a clever and lore-immersive add-on that drops some serious galactic flavor into the Starfield sandbox. While it doesn’t turn the game into a full-blown Star Wars conversion, it lays the foundation for one—bringing recognizable alien races and classic droid designs into the universe with style.

Star Wars Outlaws Mod Brings Trophy Helmets and Natural Hair to Kay Vess

April 13, 2025April 13, 2025 Novara Skuara

Star Wars Outlaws is full of shady deals, bounty hunting chaos, and shootouts across the Outer Rim. But sometimes, you just want to look cool while dodging blaster fire—and this mod lets Kay Vess do exactly that. The “New Kay – Helmets Only (Kay’s Natural Hair)” mod is here, and it’s giving Kay some serious bounty hunter drip without compromising her hairstyle. No bulky armor sets, no overly dramatic sci-fi headgear—just trophy helmets, loose hair, and a bit of storytelling flair.

Trophy Helmets with a Story to Tell This isn’t just a fashion statement—it’s a flex.

How Japanese Culture Shaped Star Wars: From Samurai to Sith

April 12, 2025April 13, 2025 Soeren Kamper

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…

March 30, 2025March 30, 2025 Soeren Kamper

Few names in pop culture are as iconic as Luke Skywalker, the wide-eyed Tatooine farm boy who turned into a galactic legend. But while his journey from moisture farmer to Jedi Master is well documented across the Star Wars saga, there’s one question that keeps popping up: How old is Luke Skywalker at each point in the timeline? Turns out, tracking Luke’s age is a bit like piloting through an asteroid field—but with less screaming and more math.
