July 17, 2025July 17, 2025 Novara Skuara

When Wookiees Just Aren’t Tactical Enough Let’s be honest. As much as we love Chewbacca and his walking carpet cousins, sometimes you need less fur and more fire discipline. Enter the Phase I Spec Ops – Wookiee Warrior Replacer mod for Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)—a sleek, intimidating clone trooper overhaul that swaps the Wookiee Warrior with a black-ops clone designed to do one thing: look deadly while dishing out damage.

Star Wars: Republic Commando – Celebrating 20 Years of Tactical Squad Action

March 1, 2025March 1, 2025 gingetattoo

Two decades ago, Star Wars: Republic Commando dropped onto the gaming scene, offering a completely new take on the Star Wars universe. Released on February 28, 2005, by LucasArts, this tactical first-person shooter put players in the boots of Delta Squad, an elite team of Clone Commandos operating behind enemy lines. Unlike the lightsaber-swinging, Force-powered heroes of other Star Wars games, Republic Commando focused on the gritty, boots-on-the-ground warfare of the Clone Wars. A New Take on Star Wars Combat Before Republic Commando, most Star Wars games revolved around Jedi, Sith, and space battles. This game, however, took a different approach, dropping players into intense, squad-based action. As RC-1138 (a.k.a. Boss), players led a team of elite clones—Fixer, Scorch, and Sev—each with distinct personalities and skills. The squad-based mechanics, advanced AI, and immersive atmosphere made it one of the most beloved shooters in the Star Wars universe. Gameplay That Still…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Released 5 Years Ago Today! Here’s Why It Still Rocks the Galaxy

November 15, 2024November 15, 2024 Soeren Kamper

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order crash-landed onto our screens. And by “crash-landed,” I mean Cal Kestis (aka our favorite ex-Jedi-in-training) surviving Order 66, fighting Purge Troopers, and doing parkour off cliffs like it’s all in a day’s work. This milestone deserves some good old-fashioned reflection—preferably in a cantina where stormtroopers can’t aim and Wookiees don’t know the meaning of “quiet conversation.” So, what makes Jedi: Fallen Order such a timeless gem in the Star Wars universe? Let’s pop open the cargo hold of nostalgia and dive in. A Narrative Worthy of the Jedi Archives The Plot That Made Sense (For Once) Jedi: Fallen Order follows Cal Kestis, a Padawan who survived the dreaded Order 66.
