SNL Knows Who’s Buying Star Wars Toys

Okay, so maybe last night’s Saturday Night Live skit has a point. At least I open mine. I’m not actually much of a Star Wars toy collector. I attended thoseForce Fridayevents a couple months back to pick up some new LEGO sets, but aside from Rebels I’m pretty Luke-warm (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…no) on the franchise as a…

Star Wars Battlefront‘s Matchmaking Is A Mess

While playing the PC version of Star Wars Battlefront, I’ve experienced all sorts of ridiculous matchmaking mishaps. It seems like I’m far from alone. Since I posted my review, I’ve encountered some seriously mind-boggling matchmaking moments. Usually, this involves lopsided teams (high-level players with snazzy gear vs lowbies who aim worse than your average Stormtrooper),…

Vintage AT-AT Comes To Life With The Help Of An Xbox Controller

With the help of an Xbox controller and micro-board, Star Wars enthusiast Dave Stein converted an old 1981 Kenner AT-AT Walker into something we all wanted as kids back in the day.

Star Wars Battlefront In 4k Is Just Hahaha Who Can Even Run This

Thank God Marvel Remembered to Make Their Star Wars Comics Funny

In this week’s Star Wars #13, there’s a scene where R2D2 engages in robot shit-talking with his evil fleshbag-killing counterpart. Poor little guy can’t back up his bleep-bloops, though, and runs screaming from the fight. It’s a hilarious moment that serves as a great reminder of how funny Star Wars can—and, really, should— be. Originally…

Disney Releases The Coolest Star Wars Infinity Figures In The Most Annoying Way Possible

Disney harnessed the light side of the Force to create six variant Disney Infinity Star Wars figures with Lightsabers that actually light up. Then they tapped into the dark side to make each of the six exclusive to a different retailer. Using the same sort of portal-based wizardry that makes Light Core Skylanders figures flare…

Lightsabers Work A Bit Differently In GTA V

Lightsabers and the Force as well. I don’t remember the Emperor attacking with a lightning middle finger, but here’s Trevor doing it. Excellent and smooth animation made by Boris the Blade, using only the Rockstar Editor and After Effects. Makes it even more impressive.

Today we get our first look at the Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars: The Force Awakens play set in action, and I’m finally excited about the combo.

Alongside Star Wars: Battlefront’s pricey $50 season pass, EA says it’s going to be releasing “new maps” for free “in the coming months.” Most people seem to dig Battlefront, with the game’s biggest problem being a lack of content.
