On This Day in 2014, Star Wars Games Officially Became Legends

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Twelve years ago, the Star Wars galaxy changed in a way that still shapes gaming conversations now. On April 25, 2014, Lucasfilm published its now-famous announcement, “The Legendary Star Wars Expanded Universe Turns a New Page,” confirming that the old Expanded Universe would be rebranded as Star Wars Legends. That move hit books and comics hardest in the public conversation, but it also changed the status of a huge chunk of Star Wars gaming history overnight. That meant a long list of beloved titles — from Knights of the Old Republic and Jedi Knight to The Force Unleashed, Republic Commando, and Dark Forces — were no longer part of the main official canon timeline. They were still Star Wars. Still playable. Still important. But now they lived under the Legends banner instead. The day old Star Wars games entered a different timeline For a lot of players, this was the…

Fortnite Star Wars extraction shooter promotional graphic

Disney’s Rumored Extraction Shooter Could Be One to Watch for Star Wars Fans

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

A new rumor out of the Epic-Disney partnership may not be a Star Wars announcement, but it is close enough to put Star Wars fans on alert. According to a Bloomberg report picked up by The Verge, Epic is reportedly aiming to launch the first game tied to its Disney partnership in November 2026, and that game is said to be an extraction shooter. The comparison making the rounds is ARC Raiders: a shooter built around combat, survival, and making it to an extraction point before everything goes wrong. That is the rumor. The important part is what it does not confirm. Right now, there is no solid report saying this first game is specifically a Star Wars game. What is confirmed is that Disney and Epic’s 2024 deal was pitched as a massive, persistent games and entertainment universe connected to Fortnite, and Disney’s own announcement explicitly said it would…

Editorial Star Wars header image of a Mara Jade-inspired woman with the headline Mara Jade Represents the Star Wars Future Fans Lost

Mara Jade Represents the Star Wars Future Fans Lost

Soeren Kamper

There is a reason the Mara Jade story blew up harder than a lot of bigger Star Wars headlines this week. On paper, it was simple: Claudia Gray said Lucasfilm had told her no when she asked about using Mara Jade in canon, and Timothy Zahn said he had asked too and gotten the same answer. That is not a trailer. It is not a casting leak. It is not even an official Lucasfilm statement. But the reaction online made one thing very clear: for a lot of fans, Mara Jade is no longer just a character they miss. She has become a symbol for the version of Star Wars they feel slipped away. That is why the Reddit discussion got interesting so fast. It did not stay focused on whether Mara Jade is “cool” or whether Lucasfilm should bring back more Legends characters. The argument turned almost immediately into…

LucasArts shutdown anniversary header image featuring Star Wars 1313 and First Assault cancellation imagery

13 Years Later, the Shutdown of LucasArts Still Feels Like a Brutal Turning Point for Star Wars Games

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Thirteen years ago this week, Disney pulled the plug on LucasArts’ internal game development and pushed the company into a licensing model instead. It was the kind of corporate sentence that sounds tidy on paper and disastrous everywhere else. The bigger headline at the time was not just that LucasArts as a game studio was effectively over. It was that two of its active Star Wars projects, Star Wars 1313 and Star Wars: First Assault, went down with it. Lucasfilm’s official line back then was that the move would “minimize the company’s risk” while opening the door to a broader portfolio of Star Wars games through outside partners. That may have made business sense in Burbank boardroom language, but for players it mostly translated to this: one of gaming’s most storied Star Wars labels stopped building games, around 150 staff were affected, and two intriguing projects were suddenly dead in…

Cinematic Star Wars Zero Company header image showing armored squad members, astromech support, and text highlighting classes, species, and The Den hub features

Star Wars Zero Company Just Revealed How Deep Squad Customization Really Goes

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Star Wars Zero Company is starting to look less like a simple tactics game and more like a full-blown squad-building obsession simulator in the best possible way. New details suggest the game gives players a surprisingly wide range of ways to shape their team, from 12 different classes to multiple species options, unique astromech variants, and a base of operations packed with systems that sound built for long-term tinkering. Twelve Classes Means This Squad Can Get Weird Fast The biggest immediate takeaway is the class lineup. Zero Company reportedly includes 12 total classes, split between 8 standard options and 4 exotic ones. The standard classes are: That alone already gives the game a solid tactical spread. But the exotic classes are where things get much more interesting: That setup says a lot. It suggests Zero Company is not just throwing random archetypes at the wall. It is building around a…

Close-up Star Wars Zero Company character image with headline text about the game sounding like a Jedi Fallen Order spinoff

Star Wars Zero Company Is Starting to Sound Like a Jedi: Fallen Order Spinoff in the Best Possible Way

Soeren Kamper

There was a very lazy way to talk about Star Wars Zero Company when it was first revealed: call it Star Wars XCOM, nod knowingly, move on with your day. That shorthand is already starting to feel too small. The more we hear about the game, the less it sounds like a neat little tactics side project and the more it sounds like Bit Reactor is trying to pull off something messier, weirder, and honestly more exciting: a Star Wars squad drama with turn-based tactics at the center, but with enough third-person storytelling and world interaction around the edges to make it feel like a real adventure instead of a spreadsheet with blasters. PC Gamer’s hands-on preview is a big reason that conversation is shifting. They came away from about four and a half hours with the game talking not just about combat, but about production values, third-person traversal, character…

Star Wars: Dark Forces (1995): The Shooter That Gave Star Wars a New Kind of Hero

Soeren Kamper

Before Star Wars games became known for lightsabers, morality systems, squad tactics, and giant cinematic set pieces, there was Star Wars: Dark Forces — a fast, grimy, surprisingly ambitious first-person shooter that helped kick open a whole new side of the galaxy. Released on February 15, 1995, by LucasArts, Dark Forces was the first Star Wars first-person shooter, and it did not just slap stormtroopers onto a generic corridor blaster. It introduced Kyle Katarn, sent players deep into Imperial installations, and built a campaign around sabotage, infiltration, mission objectives, and the Empire’s terrifying Dark Trooper project. Even now, that combination feels like a turning point. This was the moment Star Wars games proved they could do more than simply imitate the films. They could expand the universe in their own voice. For the SWTORStrategies archive, Dark Forces is one of those foundational entries that makes the whole timeline stronger. It…

Star Wars Galactic Racer landspeeder racing scene with Project Griffin codename headline

Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s Internal Codename Appears to Have Been Project Griffin

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

A small but interesting detail has surfaced around Star Wars: Galactic Racer — and it looks like the game’s internal codename may have been Project Griffin. The clearest clue comes from the game’s public Epic Games Store listing. While the store page now uses the final title Star Wars: Galactic Racer, several of the page’s image assets are still labeled with filenames that include “Project Griffin”, such as Project Griffin-1qqie and Project Griffin-1fa8k. That is usually the kind of leftover internal naming you see when marketing materials move from development to storefront rollout. A Small Leak Hiding in Plain Sight This is not a dramatic Lucasfilm reveal, obviously. It is more the kind of tiny development detail that slips through because no one bothered to rename every backend asset before the page went live. But that is also what makes it useful. This is not rumor stacked on rumor. It…

Ludwig Göransson Just Won His Third Oscar — Which Is a Pretty Nice Flex Ahead of The Mandalorian and Grogu

gingetattoo

Ludwig Göransson has now won his third Academy Award, taking Best Original Score for Sinners at the 2026 Oscars. That is already a big headline on its own. But for Star Wars fans, the timing makes it even better: Göransson is also the composer for The Mandalorian and Grogu, which hits theaters on May 22, 2026. So yes, Lucasfilm’s next big-screen Star Wars movie is arriving with a composer who just added even more hardware to the shelf. This Was Not Just Another Nomination According to Pitchfork, the Sinners win was Göransson’s fifth Oscar nomination and third win. The Academy’s own Scientific & Technical Awards page is obviously not relevant here, but multiple awards-night reports and winner lists all line up on the same point: he won Best Original Score for Sinners at the 98th Academy Awards. That puts him in a pretty absurd tier for a composer who still…

A New Mandalorian and Grogu LEGO Set May Be Bringing Rotta the Hutt Back Into the Spotlight

gingetattoo

It looks like Rotta the Hutt might be heading back to LEGO Star Wars shelves later this year, and honestly, that is not a sentence many people probably expected to be reading in 2026. According to a new report from Bespin Bulletin, another wave of The Mandalorian and Grogu LEGO sets is reportedly on the way, and one of the leaked entries is currently labeled “Hutt and Droid.” The reported set is tied to an August 2026 release and is said to include 415 pieces for $49.99 / €49.99. The Big Hook Is Pretty Obvious: Rotta Bespin Bulletin says the current assumption is that this mystery set is connected to Rotta the Hutt, who is already known to be part of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The site notes that the film includes multiple Hutts and droids, but argues Rotta is the most likely fit here, especially given the movie’s trailer…

The Vintage Collection Finally Gets Baze Malbus, and Rogue One Fans Have Every Right to Be Happy About It

gingetattoo

Hasbro has officially opened pre-orders for a deluxe Vintage Collection Baze Malbus, and honestly, it is about time. For a character who spent Rogue One stomping around with a cannon the size of a small grievance and delivering some of the movie’s coolest non-Jedi energy, Baze has felt weirdly overdue in this format. Now he is finally here as VC397, priced at $27.99, and yes, this absolutely feels like one of those releases collector shelves have been waiting on for longer than they probably want to admit. This Is Very Clearly a Rogue One Anniversary Play Hasbro is framing the figure as part of the 10-year celebration of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which makes perfect sense. If you are going to start mining that movie again for collector goodwill, Baze is a strong place to do it. He is not background filler, not a blink-and-you-miss-him alien, and not…

SWTOR Galactic Season 10 Brings Back Altuur, PH4-LNX, and a Dangerous Amount of Old Rewards

gingetattoo

SWTOR players have been asking for old Galactic Seasons rewards to come back for a while now, and with Galactic Season 10: Secrets of the Syndicate, Broadsword finally stopped pretending not to hear them. The new season launched with Game Update 7.8.1 on March 10, and the big hook is simple: all rewards from Seasons 1 and 3 are back, including the fan-favorite companions Altuur zok Adon and PH4-LNX. For anyone who missed those earlier seasons, this is less of a second chance and more of a giant neon sign telling you to log back in already. The Big Selling Point Is the Return of Seasons 1 and 3 Broadsword confirmed that rewards from The Stranger from Kubindi and Luck of the Draw are being re-released during GS10, and that includes the two rewards a lot of players cared about most: Altuur zok Adon and PH4-LNX. That alone gives this…

SWTOR 7.8.1 Is Live and Master’s Enigma Just Dumped a Lot on Players at Once

gingetattoo

Sometimes SWTOR gets a patch. Sometimes SWTOR gets a patch that kicks open the door, throws story content, seasonal rewards, Date Nights, event content, Twitch Drops, and Cartel Market extras into the room, and then leaves players to sort out the mess. Game Update 7.8.1: Master’s Enigma is very much the second kind. It went live on March 10, and it is one of those updates where logging in “just to check a few things” is probably not going to stay a short visit. Master’s Enigma Pushes the Story Forward The biggest headline here is the new Master’s Enigma story content. Republic and Imperial leadership head to Odessen to deal with the fallout from the Mandalorian conflict, Darth Nul’s holocron, and Malgus’ escape from the fleet. Right in the middle of all that, Darth Jadus reaches out to the player and starts offering guidance about the conflict ahead, while the…

Andor Sweeps the Star Wars Corner of the Saturn Awards (Plus a Big Lucas Moment)

gingetattoo

Star Wars didn’t just show up at the 53rd Saturn Awards — it walked out with the kind of wins that make genre fans feel vindicated. The ceremony took place March 8, 2026, and the Star Wars side of the scoreboard was led by one very specific takeaway: Andor isn’t “good for Star Wars.” It’s just award-winning sci-fi. The big wins ANDOR won Best Science Fiction Television Series.That’s a meaningful label at the Saturn Awards, because this is a genre-first show — sci-fi competing against sci-fi, not getting lost in a general TV pile. Stellan Skarsgård won Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series for Luthen Rael (Andor).It’s hard to think of a more “Saturn Awards” performance than Luthen: the kind of character who turns a Star Wars series into a political thriller with monologues people still quote months later.

SWGOH Game Update (March 4, 2026): IG-90 Goes Farmable, Plus a Big Pile of Fixes

gingetattoo

If today’s Galaxy of Heroes update had a theme, it’s this: Capital Games is quietly sanding down the sharp edges. No new shiny toy in the patch notes — just a lot of “this shouldn’t have been happening” getting cleaned up, plus one very real farming win for anyone chasing droids. Most quotable takeaway: This isn’t a hype patch — it’s a stability patch. And those are usually the ones you feel a week later. The Headline: IG-90 Shards Are Now Farmable The one piece of “news” news: IG-90 shards are now farmable from Cantina Battles 8-A. That matters for two reasons: Quote-ready line: The moment a unit becomes Cantina-farmable, it stops being a rumor and starts being a roster plan. Bug Fixes That Actually Affect Real Matches This update is basically a greatest-hits album of weird edge cases — and yes, some of these were absolutely impacting GAC/Conquest runs…

Fem V posed spread on bed using Bondage Bed prop in Cyberpunk 2077 photomode

Bed Bondage NSFW Pose Pack for Cyberpunk 2077 – Photomode Goes Full Studio

Novara Skuara

Not all pose packs are created equal. Some are general-purpose, throw-them-anywhere animations. Others are built like a studio photography setup where every limb, angle, and prop interaction is intentional. Bed Bondage NSFW falls squarely into the second category. This is a 13-pose Photomode pack for Fem V, engineered specifically around the Bondage Bed AMM prop. The focus here is technical accuracy: foot posture, body alignment, and how the character sits against a physical object. If you care about realism in screenshots — especially in staged or stylized scenes — this mod gives you far more control than standard pose libraries. It’s not about gameplay. It’s about composition. And if you’re already browsing tools from our Cyberpunk mod hub, this is exactly the kind of niche, creator-focused add-on that fits into a serious screenshot toolkit. What This Mod Actually Does At its core, this mod adds 13 custom Photomode poses designed…

Cyberpunk 2077 Mod: Princess Leia Slave Outfit (Female V) – Star Wars VI Inspired Look

Novara Skuara

If you’ve spent any time modding Cyberpunk 2077, you already know the truth: At some point, every “serious” Night City playthrough turns into a wardrobe simulator. And honestly? That’s fine. Cyberpunk 2077 has some of the best character customization potential in modern RPGs — especially once the modding scene gets involved. The Princess Leia Slave Outfit mod is one of those mods that sits perfectly at the intersection of cosplay, sci-fi nostalgia, and Cyberpunk fashion crimes. It brings a Star Wars Episode VI (Return of the Jedi) inspired outfit into Night City, designed for female V, and built as a modular set with multiple wearable pieces. 👉 Nexus link (download) Quick Facts Mod name: Princess Leia Slave outfit (Star Wars VI inspired)Game: Cyberpunk 2077Character: Female VMod type: Outfit / clothing set (modular pieces)NSFW: Contains NSFW option (bra variant)Tested game version: v2.3How to obtain: Tony’s Adult Store / CET codes (included…

Concept-style Star Wars top banner with headline about Episodes X–XII being discussed as the next trilogy

Hollywood Reporter Says a “Sequel-Sequel Trilogy” Feels Inevitable — and Honestly, They Might Be Right

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

For years, Lucasfilm has treated the post-Rise of Skywalker future like an awkward family dinner conversation. Everyone knows it’s going to come up. Nobody wants to be the first to bring it up. But now The Hollywood Reporter is doing something the Star Wars industry press rarely does: saying the quiet part out loud. A “sequel-sequel trilogy” — basically Episodes X, XI and XII — doesn’t just feel possible. It feels inevitable. And while that idea isn’t confirmed by Lucasfilm, it’s suddenly the kind of “obvious next step” that’s getting harder to ignore. Why this matters now Star Wars is entering a strange new phase. Not because there’s a shortage of projects — but because there’s a shortage of certainty. Some movies are reportedly on hold. Some are being reworked. The Disney+ side continues to expand, but theatrical Star Wars still lacks what Marvel has always had: A clear flagship…

Top banner showing Alden Ehrenreich and Harrison Ford as Han Solo with headline about Kathleen Kennedy saying the casting was an impossible situation

Kathleen Kennedy Says Casting Han Solo Was “An Impossible Situation” for Alden Ehrenreich

gingetattoo

Kathleen Kennedy has spent years defending Lucasfilm’s big swings — and to be fair, Star Wars requires big swings. But in her latest Deadline exit interview, the outgoing Lucasfilm president offered a rare moment of direct, personal reflection on one of the most debated choices of the Disney era: asking Alden Ehrenreich to replace Harrison Ford as Han Solo. And Kennedy doesn’t sugarcoat it. Why this matters now With Kennedy stepping away from Lucasfilm leadership, these interviews aren’t just PR. They’re the closest thing we’ll get to an official post-mortem on modern Star Wars decision-making. And Solo: A Star Wars Story has always been one of the most interesting case studies: So Kennedy acknowledging regret here isn’t small. It’s a signal that Lucasfilm knows exactly what went wrong conceptually, even if the movie itself has aged better for many viewers. What Kathleen Kennedy said Kennedy praised Ehrenreich directly, but admitted…

Anniversary banner for Star Wars Outlaws showing Massive Entertainment open-world Star Wars game announcement

5 Years Ago Today, Ubisoft Announced an Open-World Star Wars Game — and It Became Star Wars Outlaws

gingetattoo

Five years ago today, Ubisoft and Lucasfilm dropped an announcement that instantly rewired expectations for Star Wars gaming: Massive Entertainment was developing an open-world Star Wars game. Back then, it didn’t have a name. It didn’t have a trailer. It didn’t even have a main character. It was just a promise — the kind that sounds too good to be real until you see it actually happen. That project, once known as Project Helix, later became Star Wars Outlaws, which released in 2024. And in a very Star Wars twist, the game’s story didn’t stop at launch. Why this matters now Star Wars games don’t always get long arcs. Some drop, get a few patches, and vanish into the backlog like a forgotten bounty hunter. But Outlaws has been doing something different: it’s been quietly picking up new fans over time — especially as more players discover its open-ended “live…

Fast Audio Transcription: How to Turn Speech into Text Instantly with AI

Editor

The most efficient method to turn speech into text instantly is by utilizing AI-powered software equipped with advanced Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology. Unlike manual typing, which is slow and prone to fatigue, modern tools like Vomo.ai can process hours of recorded audio in mere minutes. By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and deep learning algorithms, these platforms analyze sound waves, distinguish between speakers, and transcribe words with over 98% accuracy. This technology allows users to convert formats like MP3, WAV, and M4A into editable, actionable text seamlessly, revolutionizing how we handle meetings, lectures, and interviews. Understanding the Mechanics of AI Speech Recognition To truly appreciate the speed of modern tools, it helps to understand what is happening under the hood. Audio to text conversion—often referred to as voice transcription or speech-to-text—has evolved significantly from the clunky, error-prone dictation software of the early 2000s. Today’s technology relies on a combination…

Lucasfilm Games turns 5 anniversary banner with Star Wars gaming theme

Lucasfilm Games Relaunched 5 Years Ago Today — and It Quietly Changed Star Wars Gaming Forever

Matt "ObiWaN" Hansen

Five years ago today, Lucasfilm did something that didn’t look dramatic at the time… but ended up reshaping the entire Star Wars gaming landscape. They relaunched Lucasfilm Games as their dedicated licensing brand — a modern banner for Star Wars games (and other Lucasfilm properties) moving forward. And honestly? In hindsight, it was one of the smartest moves the company has made in the post-Disney era. Not because it guaranteed instant masterpieces — but because it signaled something fans had been begging for: more variety, more studios, and more freedom. Why this matters right now Star Wars games used to feel like they were on one highway. Same publisher. Same pipeline. Same release rhythm. Since Lucasfilm Games returned, Star Wars gaming has felt much more like a living ecosystem — with multiple teams, multiple genres, and multiple bets happening at once. Even when not every project hits, the direction has…

Daggerfall Unity Gets Unholy: Weeberfall’s “Dibellan Degeneracy” NSFW Patch Releases the Waifus Into the Iliac Bay

Novara Skuara

If you’ve ever looked at Daggerfall Unity and thought: “This needs less holy restraint and more… Dibella.” …then congratulations, your mod folder is about to become a shrine. A new NSFW add-on for Daggerfall Unity called Weeberfall – Dibellan Degeneracy (NSFW) is exactly what it sounds like: an extremely adult-oriented patch that unlocks and distributes explicit NPC portrait content across the Iliac Bay — using a simple but surprisingly powerful JSON patch. And yes: it’s absolutely going to show up in search results for Daggerfall Unity nude and Daggerfall Unity NSFW, because this is one of the most direct “this mod does what it says” releases in the scene. What is “Dibellan Degeneracy” for Daggerfall Unity? Dibellan Degeneracy is not a texture pack. It doesn’t add any new sprites or images. Instead, it works as a configuration patch for NPC Flat Replacer, assigning explicit variants (already included in another mod)…
