While it may not have introduced a new hero or broken the game with wild balance changes, Siege of Kamino quietly became one of the most impactful updates DICE ever released for the game. And honestly? It still holds up as a blueprint for how to keep a multiplayer shooter fun, fresh, and just a bit chaotic. Welcome to Kamino: Now With More Laser Fire Let’s start with the headline: Kamino was added to Capital Supremacy mode. If you ever wanted to relive the Clone Wars rain-drenched madness with 20 AI teammates at your… 3q6c3s

So… How Long Did Boba Fett Actually Marinate in the Sarlacc? We’ve all had rough mornings, but Boba Fett’s might take the cake: one minute you’re chasing bounties in cool armor, the next you’re being swallowed by a sand monster that digests you over a thousand years. Classic Tatooine problems. But here’s the real question: how long was Boba Fett actually stuck in the Sarlacc Pit? Thanks to The Book of Boba Fett, Return of the Jedi, and a little timeline detective work, we’ve got an answer. Spoiler: it’s not a thousand years. But it probably felt like it. Let’s break it down (without getting pulled into the Pit ourselves). What Star Wars Canon Tells Us According to current canon—thanks to The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+—Boba Fett was inside the Sarlacc for several days. Maybe a week, tops. Here’s what we know: Judging by the condition of his…

Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) has seen its fair share of mods—from Clone Troopers with neon camo to shirtless Darth Maul with Sith tattoos. But now, the modding galaxy has delivered something truly worthy of both bounty hunters and thirst-trap TikToks: the Din Djarin Pedro Pascal Helmetless and Helmet Mod. Yes, it’s time to play as the galaxy’s favorite dad-bod Mandalorian—with or without the bucket on his head. And in case you were wondering: yes, the mod does include Pedro Pascal’s face, rendered in all its charming, slightly-exhausted glory. This is the way. What Exactly Does the Mod Do? Created for Star Wars Battlefront II (2017), this mod replaces an existing hero (typically Han Solo or a clone trooper) with Din Djarin a.k.a. The Mandalorian. The twist? You can toggle between his iconic helmeted look and a lovingly crafted helmetless version based on Pedro Pascal’s likeness. It’s the best of…

It’s Been Six Years Since Darth Vader Reached Out and Almost Force-Choked You in VR Time flies when you’re deflecting blaster bolts with a virtual lightsaber. Today marks six years since Star Wars: Vader Immortal – Episode I was released, and honestly? We’re still not over it. Back in May 2019, ILMxLAB dropped players straight into the boots of a smuggler with a mysterious Force-sensitive lineage, handed them a lightsaber, and let them meet Darth Vader—face to (terrifying) face. It was ambitious, cinematic, and for many, it was the moment that VR went from “cool tech demo” to “this is the future of Star Wars storytelling.” Let’s take a walk down Mustafar memory lane. The Birth of a VR Experiment That Actually Worked Let’s be real: not every VR experience hits the mark. But Vader Immortal was different. Instead of focusing on arcade gimmicks or wave shooters, Episode I set…

Nothing disrupts the criminal underworld like a glitchy contract. Ubisoft just rolled out Hotfix 6.1 for Star Wars Outlaws, and while it’s not the flashiest update in the galaxy, it’s a much-needed patch for players tired of watching job offers mysteriously vanish or missions fail just because they dared to save the game. The nerve, right? If your galactic hustle’s been stalled by unreliable brokers and contracts that collapse faster than a stormtrooper’s aim under pressure, this update is aimed squarely at you. Let’s break it down. Contract Woes, Be Gone Hotfix 6.1 goes straight to the heart of a recurring issue: jobs offered by certain brokers would become mysteriously unavailable after a while. One minute you’re gearing up to smuggle spice or intercept a shady deal, the next… crickets. Ubisoft has now stabilized the system so these contracts don’t suddenly ghost you mid-playthrough. This should make the Outer Rim…

There’s surviving a Star Wars fan war—and then there’s thriving through it while writing your next hit murder mystery in a bathrobe. Rian Johnson, the director who divided the galaxy with The Last Jedi, sat down with The Independent and, as always, brought his blend of intellect, charm, and just enough self-deprecating humor to remind us why he’s still one of the most interesting creatives in Hollywood. In case you missed it: yes, Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy is still technically in development. No, there are no confirmed release dates. And yes, he still very much cares about the franchise, even if portions of the internet continue to wield pitchforks over Luke Skywalker’s moody hermit phase. Star Wars: The Great Fan War (Episode ∞) Let’s address the nerf-herder in the room: The Last Jedi. Johnson, ever the diplomat, likens the franchise’s heated history to actual world wars. “We experienced our own,”…

Move over, Baby Yoda—there’s a new champion in town, and his name is Andor. The second season of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series has just pulled off a galactic flex that no other TV show—not even the internet’s beloved Severance or The Last of Us—has ever achieved. Let’s say it together: five consecutive episodes with IMDb scores of 9.5 or higher. Yes, Andor Season 2 has become the first television series in IMDb history to land that kind of praise across five back-to-back episodes. That’s not just good—it’s hyperspace good. What Just Happened? According to IMDb ratings, Andor’s final stretch of Season 2 is basically flawless. Here’s how the numbers stack up: That’s a hall-of-fame lineup if we’ve ever seen one. These aren’t just respectable scores—these are the kind of ratings that make other prestige shows look like they’re phoning it in from the Outer Rim. Breaking the…

It finally happened. Yoda has been replaced—and not by some mighty Jedi or even a Sith-turned-hero redemption arc. Nope. He’s been swapped out for a Pit Droid. That’s right. The little mechanical goblin from The Phantom Menace who bonks his own head shut when startled is now leading charges on the battlefield in Star Wars Battlefront II (2017). This is not a drill. This is chaos. And it’s glorious. What Is the Pit Droid (Yoda Replacer) Mod? Created by a brilliant mind with either too much free time or just the right amount of imagination, the Pit Droid (Yoda Replacer) mod does exactly what the name implies: it replaces Yoda’s in-game model with a fully rigged and animated Pit Droid. Instead of the iconic, cane-carrying, green Jedi Master, you’ll now be zipping around the map as a stubby-legged droid that looks like it escaped the Mos Espa Pod Racing pit…

Path of Exile 2 has revolutionized the ARPG genre with its unique approach to in-game economy. Unlike traditional RPGs that rely on gold-based systems, POE2 continues the franchise’s innovative use of functional currency items that serve dual purposes. Understanding how currency exchange works in this complex ecosystem is crucial for both newcomers and veterans looking to maximize their gameplay experience in 2025. Introduction to Currency in POE2 Path of Exile 2 stands as one of the most sophisticated loot-based ARPGs on the market today. At its core, the game revolves around acquiring, crafting, and trading powerful items to enhance your character’s abilities. What sets POE2 apart from other games in the genre is its currency system, which completely abandons the traditional gold-based economy found in most RPGs. Instead of meaningless gold coins, every currency item in POE2 serves a practical function in the game world. Whether it’s Orbs that can…

Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. The power duo that stole the Death Star plans and went out in a literal blaze of glory. So, naturally, when Andor premiered on Disney+ and promised to explore the early days of Cassian’s rebellion, many expected—or at least quietly hoped—to see the return of Jyn Erso. Spoiler alert: She never shows up. And it’s not because she’s on a secret mission, or in carbonite, or off doing a Rogue One prequel to the prequel. Nope. The reason is a lot simpler—and it comes straight from showrunner Tony Gilroy himself. The Temptation of the Cameo You’d think that bringing back Jyn Erso would be a no-brainer. She’s Cassian’s co-hero, after all. Their story in Rogue One is tragic, bold, and deeply connected to the birth of the Rebel Alliance. So why not throw in a cheeky cameo? Tony Gilroy addressed this in a recent interview,…

What happens when one of the most iconic voices in cinematic history ends up in a video game—not through recording sessions, but through artificial intelligence? Apparently, it causes more than just echoes through the Force. It leads to union action, controversy, and a deeper debate about what it means to be “human” in the age of AI. Let’s talk about Fortnite, Darth Vader, and why SAG-AFTRA just filed a complaint that’s making as much noise as Vader’s breathing. Darth Vader Talks in Fortnite—But It’s Not James Earl Jones Yes, Fortnite brought back Darth Vader in one of its recent updates. But this time, the Sith Lord isn’t just stomping around with a lightsaber and force-pulling loot. Players could actually talk to him—and he talked back. In full Vader voice. The twist? That voice wasn’t recorded in a studio by James Earl Jones, the legendary actor who made Vader’s voice unforgettable….

Alright, let’s face it – the gaming world in 2025 is not what it used to be. Competition has grown fierce, and sometimes skill alone just doesn’t cut it anymore. Whether you’re getting crushed in Escape from Tarkov or struggling to keep up in other competitive titles, there’s a whole universe of options that might give you that edge you’ve been looking for. Gaming in 2025: Where Competition Meets Technology Gaming has evolved dramatically over the past few years. According to recent stats, over 3.2 billion people play video games globally – that’s roughly 40% of Earth’s population! With such massive numbers, standing out requires more than just fast reflexes. “I’ve been gaming since the early 2000s, and the difference between then and now is night and day,” says MarkusGG, a veteran player. “Today’s games are so complex that even pros are looking for ways to enhance their experience.” The…

One of the more curious questions for Star Wars enthusiasts isn’t just about lightsaber colors or which Sith Lord is the most powerful—it’s whether Earth is canon in Star Wars. Before you picture Darth Vader ordering a frappuccino at your local Starbucks, let’s break down what “canon” means in the Star Wars universe and whether Earth has ever officially made an appearance. Understanding Star Wars Canon vs. Legends First, let’s clarify the galaxy-sized elephant in the room. In Star Wars , “canon” refers to the official storyline recognized by Lucasfilm and Disney. This includes the nine main saga films, spin-offs like Rogue One and Solo, animated series such as The Clone Wars and Rebels, and all Disney-era novels and comics. Everything else—like Knights of the Old Republic or the Heir to the Empire trilogy—falls under “Legends,” which is basically Lucasfilm’s way of saying, We love it, but it’s not part…

Some mods are about cosmetics, some are about mechanics, and then there are mods that give you that sweet, sweet lost content. The “Restore Atton Dialog about the Astronavigation System” mod for Knights of the Old Republic II fits neatly into the third category. If you’re like me and love peeling back the layers of a game to discover hidden gems, then this mod is practically the Holy Grail. What Is the Atton Dialog Restoration Mod? First things first: what exactly does this mod do? When KOTOR II was first released, a lot of content was left on the cutting room floor. Among the things left out was a piece of dialogue between Atton and the Exile about the astronavigation system. This mod brings that back—fully voiced, fully scripted, and fully immersive. It’s like finding a secret stash of credits under the floorboards of the Ebon Hawk. Who knew? The…

The Star Wars universe is full of dramatic reveals, but perhaps none is quite as galaxy-shaking as the revelation that Darth Vader is not only Luke Skywalker’s father but also the father of Princess Leia Organa. For years, fans (oops, I said it) speculated on whether Vader knew about Leia’s true parentage during the events of the original trilogy. So, did the Dark Lord of the Sith ever realize that his own daughter was right under his nose, blasting Stormtroopers and sassing Imperial officers? The Early Years: Vader’s Blind Spot To understand why Vader didn’t sense Leia’s presence early on, you have to look at the timeline. In A New Hope, Leia is captured, interrogated, and even witnesses the destruction of her home planet, Alderaan. And yet, Vader seems blissfully unaware that the defiant senator standing before him is his flesh and blood. Awkward family reunion, huh? This oversight can…

If you’ve ever watched Star Wars, you know Yoda is basically the ultimate space monk—calm, centered, and always a few steps ahead of everyone else. But what if the secret to Yoda’s serenity isn’t just the Force? What if the little green Jedi had a little green secret of his own—CBD? The Jedi Way of Relaxation Imagine Yoda at the end of a long day, meditating in his hut on Dagobah, brewing some herbal tea, and popping a few drops of CBD under his tongue. Why? Because even the wisest Jedi can get a little stressed out. Training Skywalker, battling Sith Lords, and moving entire X-Wings with his mind can really take it out of you. Sometimes you need something more than just the Force—you need the Calm Side of the Force. Using CBD to Enhance Mindfulness Yoda’s mastery of mindfulness is legendary. But even legends can use a little…

Back in 1999, a little thing called Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace hit theaters. Among the many things it brought to the Star Wars universe—like double-bladed lightsabers and midichlorians—was one particularly thrilling scene: the podrace on Tatooine. If you watched that and thought, I need to do that… minus the risk of fiery explosions, then Star Wars Episode I: Racer was your ticket to speed. Released on this day in 1999, Star Wars Episode I: Racer threw players right into the pilot seat of Anakin Skywalker’s podracer, letting them blast through the canyons of Tatooine, dodge asteroids on Ando Prime, and squeeze through the narrow tubes of Oovo IV. It was blisteringly fast, occasionally frustrating, and absolutely iconic. The Fastest Game in the Galaxy Back in the late ’90s, the idea of racing at 600 miles per hour through desert canyons wasn’t just ambitious—it was practically ludicrous….

The Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes universe just got a bit more dangerous. SM-33, the latest addition to the game’s roster, has been officially revealed, and it’s safe to say this droid is bringing the heat—literally. SM-33 introduces the long-awaited Pirate faction to the game, serving as a lifter for a powerful unit. If you thought Hondo Ohnaka was the only pirate worth his salt, think again.

The Dreaded “Unable to Get into Game” Issue It’s been making the rounds—players are reporting that they simply can’t get into Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (SWGOH).
