Twenty-five years ago, Star Wars: Demolition crash-landed onto our consoles, blending lightsabers, speeders, and chaos into one unforgettable combat experience. Released in November 2000 for the PlayStation and Dreamcast, the game was an explosive mashup of Twisted Metal–style vehicular mayhem and the Star Wars universe — a combination that only the early 2000s could have delivered. So yes, Star Wars: Demolition just turned 25 years old, and it’s time to celebrate the galaxy’s most gloriously chaotic gladiator game. A Galaxy Far, Far Away Meets Vehicular Carnage Developed by Luxoflux and published by LucasArts, Star Wars: Demolition wasn’t about elegant lightsaber duels or Jedi wisdom. This was pure, unfiltered destruction. Players entered an intergalactic deathmatch in various vehicles — from Boba Fett’s jetpack and Speeder Bikes to AT-STs, Podracers, and even Rancors. The premise? Simple but brilliant: after the Galactic Empire banned podracing, Jabba the Hutt created a new spectator sport…

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Released 18 Years Ago Today – A Galactic Classic That Still Holds Up
Eighteen years ago today, the galaxy got a little sillier, a lot blockier, and infinitely more fun. On November 6, 2007, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga blasted onto consoles — combining the first two LEGO Star Wars games into one ultimate adventure that spanned all six of George Lucas’ original films. It wasn’t just a game; it was a cultural moment. For many fans, it was the first time the prequels and originals collided in one playable universe, rendered in charming LEGO form.

Star Wars Battlefront Mobile Released 20 Years Ago Today!
Two decades ago, before mobile gaming became the billion-credit industry it is today, Star Wars Battlefront Mobile blasted onto tiny phone screens and brought the galactic war to the palms of players everywhere. Released 20 years ago today, this forgotten gem marked one of the earliest attempts to shrink the Battlefront experience into a mobile format — long before smartphones or high-definition touchscreens existed. A Pocket-Sized Galactic War Back in 2005, mobile gaming was still in its infancy. The iPhone was years away, and most players were tapping away on Nokia or Sony Ericsson keypads. That’s where Star Wars Battlefront Mobile arrived — a 2D, top-down strategy-style adaptation inspired by the hit console title Star Wars Battlefront (2004). Developed by THQ Wireless under license from LucasArts, the game allowed players to command the Republic, the Separatists, the Rebel Alliance, or the Galactic Empire, capturing command posts and battling through iconic…
On This Day in Battlefront: The Star Wars Battlefront II Beta Began 8 Years Ago
Eight years ago, players across the galaxy jumped into early access for the Star Wars Battlefront II Beta — a moment that felt like the return of large-scale Star Wars warfare. Before the full release in November 2017, the beta gave fans their first hands-on experience with improved hero gameplay, revamped starfighters, and massive battles across Theed, Takodana, and Fondor. Whether you were blasting clones as a droid or soaring through space with Poe Dameron’s Black One X-wing, it was pure Star Wars magic. A Beta That Shaped a Controversial Launch Of course, Battlefront II’s launch story is one for the Holonet archives. The beta was praised for visuals, sound design, and sheer immersion — but also sparked heated debate about loot boxes, progression systems, and in-game economy. Still, for many fans, that early access weekend was pure nostalgia. It felt like Battlefront was finally becoming the modern spiritual successor…
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes Turns 15 – A Nostalgic Blast from the Prequel Era
Fifteen years ago, in October 2009, Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes hit consoles and PCs, bringing the animated series’ energy straight into our hands. Developed by Krome Studios and published by LucasArts, it was one of those rare titles that let fans play as both Jedi and clone troopers — back when couch co-op was king and the prequel trilogy was just starting to get the love it deserved. When Star Wars Gaming Was Simpler (and Clunkier) Back in 2009, Republic Heroes wasn’t about photorealistic graphics or deep RPG progression. It was about fun, teamwork, and flinging droids off cliffs with your Jedi buddy while quoting Obi-Wan. The game followed the familiar rhythm of The Clone Wars animated series, blending over-the-top lightsaber action with Saturday-morning-cartoon energy. Players could jump between Jedi like Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, or step into the blaster-packed boots of clone…
Star Wars Battlefront II’s Hero Starfighters Update Turns 7 — Here’s Why It Still Hits
Hard to believe, but it’s been seven years since Star Wars Battlefront II dropped one of its most beloved and underrated updates: Hero Starfighters. Released on July 3, 2018, this free content update didn’t just toss in a game mode—it gave players a reason to master the skies, go full throttle with iconic ships, and, yes, fly as Lando’s Sullustan co-pilot with style. The update was a turning point. Not in the “we’ve redefined multiplayer” way, but in that subtle, satisfying “hey, this game’s finally getting polished” kind of way. Let’s take a hyperspace jump back and unpack what made this update soar. Hero Starfighters: When the Skies Got Personal Before this patch, Battlefront II had solid starfighter mechanics—but no real way to make them feel personal. Enter Hero Starfighters, a new game mode that made space battles more than just background noise. The setup was clean and brutal: It…
Happy 81st Birthday George Lucas – The Legacy of a Star Wars Icon
There are few names in cinema that command as much respect and admiration as George Lucas. Born on May 14, 1944, Lucas has become a legendary figure not just in filmmaking, but in global pop culture. And today, as he celebrates his 81st birthday, it’s the perfect time to look back on the legacy he’s built, the galaxy he’s created, and the stories that have captivated audiences for generations. The Visionary Who Changed Cinema It all began in a galaxy far, far away—or more accurately, in Modesto, California. Lucas had always been a storyteller, even before he had the means to put those stories on screen. His breakthrough came with American Graffiti in 1973, a nostalgic look back at teenage life in the early ’60s. But it was his next project that would change everything. Star Wars debuted in 1977, and what began as a risky space opera with a…
