Cutting Open The Vehicles From Star Wars: The Force Awakens

My review of this book: oh boy oh boy oh boy Star Wars: The Force Awakens Incredible Cross-Sections is a newish book by DK, the latest in a very long-running series of books the publisher has released in which big/cool vehicles are sliced open for the immense pleasure of kids (and adults) who have a…

My Favorite Images From Toy Fair 2016 Day Two

My second and final full day at my very first Toy Fair 2016 in New York City has come and gone, and already I miss it terribly. Nothing flipping through photos of Nerf guns, Pokemon plushies, Final Fantasy figures, Monster High dolls, Transformers, Marvel heroes and more can’t fix. I’ve been dreaming of this weekend…

Fans Begin Project To Remake Star Wars: KOTOR

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the most beloved Star Wars games ever made. Soon, it might also be one of the most beloved Star Wars games ever re-made. Apeiron (probably not pronounced “Ape Iron,” but I can dream) is a fan effort that aims to remake the entirety of the…

Fan Favorite Star Wars Rebel Gets The Action Figure She Deserves

Last year Hasbro let Star Wars fans vote for which character they’d like to see join The Black Series of premium figures. Mandalorian explosives expert and graffiti artist Sabine Wren got second place. Second place is looking pretty good. Not that the first place winner was bad. In fact the character that pulled in the…

Marvel’s Obi-Wan & Anakin Star Wars Comic Is Pretty Pointless

Obi-Wan & Anakin is the first real dud of Marvel’s series of new Star Wars comics. Most of Marvel’s new Star Wars stories have focused on the time period between Episode IV and V of the film’s sci-fi universe. Last month saw the debut of Obi-Wan & Anakin, a miniseries that shows the two men…

Star Wars: The Old Republic’s Attempt At Episodic Storytelling Is Off To A Rough Start

I got restless after waiting three months with little to do in Star Wars: The Old Republic since the launch of the expansion, Knights of the Fallen Empire. Initially, the idea of continuing its story through monthly episodes seemed compelling. The first of those episodes, Chapter X: Anarchy In Paradise, came out this week, and…

Both Of Republic Commando’s Sequel Pitches Sounded Awesome

While Republic Commando never actually got a sequel, for a short time plans were in place to make one. At Lucasarts HQ, there were two competing storylines vying for selection. Brett Douville, lead developer on the game, has been speaking with cinelinx, and says that while both were set in roughly the same time period,…

Star Wars vs Mario Kart

This isn’t some quick, cheap piece of machinima. This is a very impressive animated short that basically throws the cast of Mario Kart into Star Wars fighters and lets them go at it. It’s great, no? I really like the part wh- Luke, what’s wrong? I felt a great disturbance in the Force. As if…

A group of artists over on CG+, many of them professionals working in video games, have for the past few months been submitting some incredible entries in a competition called Star Wars: Reimagined.

Now This Is Halo 5 Podracing

Star Wars podracing and Halo? Sounds like a weird combination. But modder CaptainDireWolf was able to make a really funny Forge Map based on Episode I’s podracing scene. It was great scene (well, compared to the rest of the movie), but with a little Halo fun, it’s even better. The folks over at The Epidemic…

Absolutely Perfect Force Awakens Cosplay

There’s just so much to love here. The cosplay for starters, of course, but also the dedication: while the lightsabers have (duh) had some photoshop work done, that hellish weather was the real deal. Rey is Nixie Sweet, Kylo Ren is FenixEmber. All photos by Jason LaBoy

About a year before LucasArts shut down, the iconic studio cancelled a near-finished game called Star Wars Outpost. Today, we’ve learned a bit more about that game.
