Satele Shan VS Darth Maul

Lisa Clark

Satele Shan vs. Darth Maul – Here’s another versus matchup video we think you might enjoy. Who do you see the victor in this showdown? If you ask me, I say Satele has it by a long shot but it could be just because I am such a fan. This is not to known on Darth Maul. He was an amazing duelist. In fact, were it not for Satele’s ability with The Force, she could easily finish him off. Some will argue that since Shan is a grandmaster, this isn’t even a fight and she would take it by a landslide. However, Maul was very powerful and skilled with the sabers and I still believe would put up a good fight in a versus battle such as this. A lot of it also comes down to timing, and where in their story each is when they are pitted against one…

Satele Shan by Saphira Cosplay

Lisa Clark

You know how we love cosplayers around here, especially SWTOR or Star Wars cosplayers. So this is why we are excited to bring you this one of Satele Shan, a personal favorite of mine actually. Saphira is more than a pretty face; she’s incredibly talented too, which you can see from her Facebook page (linked below). The teamwork between Saphira and photographer for this shot really shines through in the end result. We love it and we’d love to see more! The cosplayer herself, Saphira, left this comment explaining the lightsabers: i built the sabers from scratch XD they have 5000 lumens in the blades, so they light up for real. i got the build process in my page (facebook.com/saphiracosplay). They are also two sabers that can be united to form her saberstaff, her most used weapon, and the blades are clear blue acrylic that can also be detached for…

Build of Master Satele Shan’s Lightsaber

Lisa Clark

How would you like to own Master Satele Shan’s lightsaber? To me that sounds like just about the coolest thing on the planet! I’m not the only one who thinks so because this guy made one for his wife. That kind of sets a new precedent for husband-to-wife gifts, don’t ya think? It wasn’t an easy task but boy is it awesome! If you’re not familiar with Sloth Furnace, he creates some amazing pieces of functional art/props. These lightsabers don’t just look pretty- they are exact replicas and they work with lights and sounds. On average, he says it takes him 6 months from conception to completion on one of these. He details the entire process in photo with captions of how he created this fantastic lightsaber, down to each and every detail. It’s pretty fantastic. It’s all from the minds and the hands of Bradley W. Lewis, video game developer…

The jedi depicted in the Hope trailer finally confirmed as Satele Shan.

Soeren Kamper

Many people have speculated about who the girl fighting Darh Malgus in last years hope trailer is. Yesterday Alexander Freed from BioWare confirmed that the girl was no other then Satele Shan: There’s been a lot of (understandable) confusion about Satele Shan, so I figured I’d clarify a few points: First, yes–Satele Shan is the Jedi depicted in the Hope trailer. When Satele originally appeared in the Threat of Peace comics, her appearance wasn’t yet final in-game. Ultimately, we’ve gone in a different visual direction for the character, and you’ll be seeing more consistent portrayals in the future. (One of the perils of releasing information–even seemingly innocuous information–so early!) Second, regarding Satele’s age and experience–at the Battle of Alderaan, Satele is a fully trained Jedi Knight. By the time Threat of Peace rolls around, she’s had significant real-world experience and trained under several Jedi Masters, Dar’Nala included; she’s a candidate…

Theron Shan Comes to SWTOR with Patch 2.7

Lisa Clark

Alexander Freed, Charles Boyd and Drew Karpyshyn have been tweeting about Theron Shan making his way into SWTOR with patch 2.7 and you can view the conversation for yourself blow. If you are not familiar with this guy, I can tell you he is a Republic spy in Republic SIS, and the secret son of Satele Shan, making him a direct descendant of the legendary Jedi Knights Revan and Bastila Shan. He is also the main protagonist in the webcomic series The Lost Suns, and the main character in the novel by Drew Karpyshyn called  Annihilation SWTOR Lead Writer Charles Boyd said that Alexander Freed and Drew Karpyshyn, who both featured Theron Shan in their books, had a large influence on the Theron Shan in SWTOR and set a high standard for this character. Also Alexander Freed seems to be working on a new SWTOR project since he’s gone freelance but we can’t be certain. Will have to keep an…

Know your lore: Bastila Shan

Soeren Kamper

Bastila Shan is one of the most intriguing characters in the Star Wars universe, particularly for fans of the Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) series. With her powerful abilities, complex personality, and crucial role in some of the galaxy’s most pivotal moments, Bastila has cemented herself as a fan-favorite. In this article, we’ll dive into her origins, her connection to Revan, her journey through the events of KOTOR, and her lasting legacy in the Star Wars lore.  Chapter 1: The Origins of Bastila Shan A Force-Sensitive Beginning Every great Jedi has to start somewhere, and for Bastila Shan, that somewhere was the rather unassuming planet of Talravin. Born into a galaxy already steeped in conflict, Bastila didn’t have the most peaceful childhood. But, as with many Force-sensitive beings, her destiny was far from ordinary. Even as a young girl, it was clear that Bastila was something special. Imagine being…

How Old Is Asajj Ventress? Star Wars Age Breakdown

How Old Is Asajj Ventress? The Life and Legacy of Star Wars’ Fiercest Force-Wielder

gingetattoo

If there’s one character in Star Wars who mastered the art of betrayal, vengeance, and looking intimidating while wielding two red lightsabers, it’s Asajj Ventress. A former Sith assassin turned bounty hunter turned rogue Force user with a flair for dramatic exits, Ventress has been part of some of the most pivotal events in the Clone Wars. But one question that keeps popping up from the holocrons of casual watchers and lore-deep explorers alike is: How old is Asajj Ventress, really? Let’s break down her timeline and figure out just how many candles she’d have needed on her last birthday cake—if she ever stopped long enough to have one. The Basics: Birth, Origin, and Early Life Asajj Ventress was born on the planet Dathomir, the homeworld of the Nightsisters—a group of Force-sensitive witches who combine mysticism with terrifying combat skills. However, she didn’t stay long. Shortly after her birth, she…

A dramatic panoramic scene blending the aesthetics of feudal Japan and Star Wars. In the foreground, a Jedi and a samurai stand side by side on a misty ridge at sunrise—one holding a lightsaber, the other a katana—both in contemplative poses. Behind them, a futuristic skyline merges with traditional Japanese architecture—Jedi temples rising next to pagodas, starships flying above tiled rooftops. Cherry blossoms drift through the air, while distant twin suns cast a soft glow. The atmosphere is reverent and epic, symbolizing the timeless bridge between samurai tradition and the Star Wars galaxy.

Top Star Wars Moments That Feel Straight Out of a Samurai Movie

Soeren Kamper

From Kurosawa’s Shadow to the Edge of the Outer Rim As we gear up for Star Wars Celebration Japan (April 18–20, 2025), we continue our 5-part editorial series exploring the roots of Star Wars in Japanese culture. 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…

Star Wars Battlefront II (2017): Imperial Tyrant Obi-Wan Mod – When the Jedi Goes Dark

Star Wars Battlefront II (2017): Imperial Tyrant Obi-Wan Mod – When the Jedi Goes Dark

Novara Skuara

Obi-Wan Kenobi: the beacon of hope, wisdom, and unshakable Jedi resolve. But what if that beacon turned into a terrifying force of oppression? That’s exactly what the Imperial Tyrant Obi-Wan Mod for Star Wars Battlefront II (2017) delivers—a reimagining of Kenobi as a dark enforcer of the Empire. It’s a fascinating “what if” scenario that flips one of Star Wars’ most beloved characters into a chilling antagonist, and let’s be honest—it’s kind of awesome. What Does the Imperial Tyrant Obi-Wan Mod Do? This mod takes Obi-Wan Kenobi’s traditional look and replaces it with a dark, authoritarian rework fitting for an Imperial overlord. Forget the humble Jedi robes—this version of Obi-Wan wears a menacing uniform, embodying the disciplined brutality of the Empire. The visual overhaul brings a completely new aesthetic, making it easy to believe in an alternate reality where Kenobi never walked away from Mustafar and instead joined Darth Vader’s…

Name and Game: How SWTOR Names Define Your Star Wars Legacy

Name and Game: How SWTOR Names Define Your Star Wars Legacy

gingetattoo

In Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), names aren’t just cosmetic. They’re the first declaration of your character’s identity, the spark that lights the narrative fire. Sure, names like “Luke Skywalker” or “Darth Vader” are legendary, but in SWTOR, the galaxy is yours to shape—and it all starts with what you decide to call yourself. This isn’t just a case of slapping “Star” in front of “Blaster.” SWTOR weaves your name into a rich tapestry of immersive storytelling, dialogue, and decisions. From the Jedi Temple on Tython to the desolate sands of Korriban, the name you choose can change how you experience the galaxy far, far away. Why Names Matter in SWTOR In SWTOR, your character’s name isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s the foundation of your story. Whether you’re a righteous Jedi Knight, a cunning Imperial Agent, or a morally ambiguous Bounty Hunter, your name sets the tone for your entire…

The Transition of SWTOR Servers to Amazon Web Services: An Analysis

Novara Skuara

In recent times, the gaming world has witnessed a significant shift in server management, with many developers transitioning from proprietary hardware to cloud-based services. One such notable transition was undertaken by the developers of Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR), who moved their servers to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This essay delves into the intricacies of this move, its implications, and the feedback from the gaming community. The Initial Steps The developers initiated this transition with the French server, The Leviathan, in August. The move was closely observed, as it was a precursor to the subsequent transfers. The success of this initial transition was evident, as there were no significant issues reported. This paved the way for the subsequent transfer of the Darth Malgus and the German server, Tulak Hord. Community Feedback and Personal Experience The gaming community’s response, especially in the initial stages, was relatively muted. A cursory glance…

Tales of the Jedi Inspires SWTOR

Lisa Clark

How Star Wars: The Old Republic owes it all to Tales Of The Jedi, from double lightsabers to Sith Lords, Korriban, and the family tree of Bastilla and Satele Shan – James Hoare of Sci Fi Now tells us about Tales of the Jedi and how the Dark Horse Comics had an impact on SWTOR as we know it today. They have a great interview to help pay homage to the origin of SWTOR as we know it today. The idea behind Tales of the Jedi was really a new concept. It branched out from the views and storyline of the original Trilogy and did something new and bold. “18 years later, to celebrate the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic – which like Bioware’s Knights Of The Old Republic before it owes Tales Of The Jedi a tremendous debt – we got in touch with Veitch to find…

Top 10 Jedi Knight Armors – Check them Out

Lisa Clark

I haven’t shared anything from Swtorista with you in a while and this is a really great one! This is the last video in an 8-video series about outfitting your SWTOR characters. If videos aren’t your thing, there’s also a written version. “A symbol of hope in dark times, the Jedi Knight stands for the legacy of the Jedi Order—more than twenty-thousand years of protecting the Republic and keeping the peace across the galaxy in style. Through years of disciplined training and meditation, the Jedi Knight hones body and fashion into perfect harmoney. In this video, we’ll be going over my top ten favorite Jedi Knight armors, from the wildly expensive to something even a Padawan could afford. Don’t forget, you can wear many of these armors even if you aren’t a Jedi by using the Outfit Designer to create a new outfit.” Here are the Top 10 Jedi Knight…
