What A Fan Learned About Game Development By Making His Own Star Wars Games

The X-Wing fighters in some of amateur game developer Michael Real’s 14 Star Wars video games fly a little funny. The waddling AT-ST walkers occasionally leap up into the sky as if yanked by an invisible string. The TIE Fighters look like abstract art. Sometimes the stormtroopers march backwards. You haven’t heard of Michael Real…

Evil C-3PO Is The Best

It’s time for the Dark Lord of the Sith’s kill-crazy robots to get their own comics or TV show. Something, anything. They’re just too damn great. The Darth Vader comics series sports one of the best new additions to Star Wars lore, Triple Zero and BT-1, the malevolent automaton doppelgangers to C-3PO and R2D2. Revived…

Fantastic Force Awakens, Journey Cosplay Needed An Actual Desert

Cosplayer Angela Bermúdez and photographer Essam Elbably wanted to take some desert-themed cosplay shots from both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and PS3 game Journey. So…they headed out into the Egyptian desert, complete with massive sand dunes, and did just that. You can see more of Essam’s photography at his Facebook page, and more of…

LEGO veteran mortesv decided to build the EF76 Nebulon-B frigate, the well-known Rebel medical ship from the Star Wars movies.

Looking Good, Rebel Scum

Star Wars: Rogue One: The First Trailer

Oh hey, that’s right, there’s a new Star Wars movie coming out this year. No Finn or Rey, but there are Rebels and Imperials, so that’ll still do quite nicely. Here’s our first proper look at it.

Cosplaying Finn & Rey Are A Perfect Star Wars Family

The Real Finn and Rey are a cosplay duo from Utah, who…well, the name kinda says it all. They’re an actual couple (currently engaged, getting married in May), and that kid in the BB-8 suit isn’t a random baby stolen for cutness purposes, it’s theirs. All photos here—and yes, they were taken in a real…

Poe Dameron Intensifies

Toy Time Wields UltraSabers’ Renegade Combat Lightsaber

Plastic toy lightsabers are fine if you just want to goof around. Light FX models are great if you want something more ornamental.

The Best Scene In Star Wars: The Force Awakens

There are a lot of good scenes in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This one is my favorite. It happens a little over 30 minutes into the movie.

Marvel’s New Poe Dameron Comic Expands The Star Wars Universe

Marvel’s Star Wars comics have been pretty damn good so far. But the creators on these titles have had it easy: they’ve been working with characters who have been popular and well-loved for decades. The team doing this week’s Poe Dameron comic has a tougher job: keeping the momentum going from one of the biggest…

The Force Awakens On Game Consoles

Like the Force, there is a light side and a dark side of purchasing a digital copy of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. The light side involves the iconic fanfare and a jovial BB-8 rolling across the screen. And the dark side is the PlayStation 4. No fun…

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Is Now On Steam

BB-8 Cosplay Is Cute Enough To Kill Stars

You know how R2-D2 is actually controlled by the 3’8″ Kenny Baker? This BB-8 cosplay is kinda like that. Only without the desert heat. Or adults. The suit was made by William Minamoto, one of the best droid builders on the planet, while the kid inside is his daughter.

EA is passing out Star Wars: Battlefront credits to anyone who logs into the game this weekend on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or PC, in case the Outer Rim downloadable content wasn’t enough motivation. I plan on logging in later. I will forget. I will not get 5,000 credits.
