Lock Xbox Controller In Attack Position

To ring in this most special of marketing holidays, End Of Line Designs built this incredible X-Wing pilot-themed Xbox One controller. You can’t buy it—it’s a one-off custom—but don’t let that stop you wondering what it’d be like for Microsoft to put the same effort into custom Elite controllers (oh for that to be a…

Both Star Wars: The Force Unleashed games are now backwards compatible on Xbox One, Microsoft announced today. While it’s not the Knights of the Old Republic remake I’ve been hoping for, it’s something.

I Can Finally Play Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire Whenever I Want

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, much like the recently re-released Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, used to be a pain to get your hands on. Now, though, it’s just a few clicks away. Shadows of the Empire was a sort of Star Wars mid-quel, an attempt at bridging the gap between Empire Strikes Back and…

Star Wars: The Force Awakens LEGO Game Shows Us What Happened Before The Movie

The answers to these and other burning questions arrive next month in LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Like previous games in the…

No One’s Missing From This Fan-Made LEGO Mos Eisley Spaceport

A wretched hive of scum and villainy. LEGO and Star Wars enthusiast I Scream Clone and his friends built a quite busy and enormous blocky version of Mos Eisley, including pretty much everything that can show up in a desolate place like this. The cantina with the main characters is in the center of the…

Star Wars vs Studio Ghibli [Update]

Inspired by CG+’s Star Wars: Reimaginedcontest (which we’ve already covered, and which he missed out on entering), artist Lap Pun Cheung has drawn a few images of his own taking the galaxy far, far away and injecting it up to its eyeballs with Studio Ghibli’s aesthetic. We actually showcased Cheung’s work fairly recently, but this…

Custom LEGO Star Destroyer Is So Huge It Has A Three-Level Interior

Aren’t You A Little Badass For A Stormtrooper?

When you put Maschinen Krieger and Star Wars together, only good things can happen. Given both series have their visual roots in “kitbashing” (cannibalising model kits to create a plastic Frankenstein’s Monster), it’s a natural fit, but while you’d expect a model maker to recreate Star Wars’ vehicles in Ma.K’s more rugged style, Kunho Noh’s…

Star Wars: Galaxy Of Heroes Gets Guilds, Raids And Huge PvPness

After spending several months sitting alone in the bathroom clicking Star Wars themed things on my phone, Galaxy of Heroes gives players the ability to sit together in the bathroom clicking Star Wars themed things, complete with horrible guild names. Three months after reporting playing EA’s free-to-play mobile Star Wars collectible RPG every day for…

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.

Star Wars’ Giant Medical Frigate, In LEGO Form

LEGO veteran mortesv decided to build the EF76 Nebulon-B frigate, the well-known Rebel medical ship from the Star Wars movies. It’s a 980 feet long ship, so the LEGO model had to be a giant one as well, with everything carefully revised to get the proportions and details as accurate as possible. Here’s the frigate…

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.
