Bobby Moynihan Teases Possible Return of Jedi Bob in Future Star Wars Project
It looks like Jedi Bob might not be gone from the galaxy just yet. Actor and comedian Bobby Moynihan has hinted that he could return as the fan-favorite character in a future Star Wars project — and it sounds like even he wants to see the character taken further. “There may be some stuff coming…” Speaking recently about his time in Star Wars, Moynihan suggested that Jedi Bob’s story may not be finished. “Yeah, there may be some stuff coming… Hopefully that’s not the last we see of Jedi. Live-action Jedi Bob is what I need.” While he didn’t confirm any specific project, the tease was enough to spark speculation that Lucasfilm could have more plans for the character. From LEGO Joke to Fan-Favorite Jedi Jedi Bob originally started as something of an inside joke — a generic LEGO Star Wars minifigure from early LEGO sets that fans humorously named…

And yes… it’s officially a classic. A Different Kind of Star Wars Game When Dark Forces launched for MS-DOS in 1995, Star Wars games were still finding their identity. LucasArts had delivered flight sims and platformers, but a fully realized first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe felt new. Inspired by the popularity of DOOM, Dark Forces combined fast-paced FPS gameplay with cinematic storytelling and original characters. Most notably, it introduced: At the time, it was one of the most technically ambitious Star Wars games ever made. The Birth of Kyle Katarn If Dark Forces has a…

Star Wars: Republic Commando – SWRC Rebalanced Makes Droidekas Terrifying Again
You know that moment in Star Wars: Republic Commando when a Droideka rolls into the room and you think, “Okay, focus fire and it’s gone in ten seconds”? Yeah. Not anymore. SWRC Rebalanced flips that expectation on its head. This mod rebuilds Separatist combat encounters from the ground up, turning Droidekas into the high-priority nightmares they were always meant to be — and making B1s dangerous when they swarm instead of harmless background noise. Download here What This Mod Actually Changes This isn’t a cosmetic tweak. It’s a combat philosophy shift. Droidekas – Now a True Battlefield Emergency Droidekas have been substantially overhauled: In vanilla Republic Commando, Droidekas are dangerous — but manageable. With this mod, they become the kind of threat that forces you to reposition, coordinate, and commit resources immediately. Their shields now sustain fire far longer, which means brute-force rushing doesn’t cut it. You either focus properly…

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Kicks Off the Era of Andor
A new themed cycle has officially begun in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, and this time the spotlight is on spies, rebellion cells, and the gritty side of the fight against the Empire. Welcome to the Era of Andor. Capital Games has outlined the direction for this new era, which will bring Andor-inspired characters, events, and progression tweaks into the game over the coming cycle. It’s less about flashy Force users and more about boots-on-the-ground resistance strategy.

33 Years Later, X-Wing Still Defines Star Wars Space Combat
Star Wars: X-Wing turns 33 years old, and honestly? A lot of modern space games still live in its shadow. Released in February 1993 on good old-fashioned floppy disks, this wasn’t just another licensed Star Wars title. It helped define what Star Wars flight combat should feel like — tense, tactical, and very, very deadly if you got cocky. For many players, this was the first time the fantasy of sitting in the cockpit of an X-wing felt real instead of arcadey. The Game That Took Star Wars Into True 3D Space Back in the early ‘90s, most space games still leaned heavily on sprites and tricks. X-Wing went another direction. It became one of the first games to use 3D polygon graphics for spacecraft, meaning ships were fully rendered objects in space, not flat illusions. That sounds basic now, but in 1993 this was cutting-edge stuff — especially on…

Actor Noshir Dalal, known for his role as Bode Akuna in Star Wars Jedi Survivor, had high praise for writer Aaron Contreras — calling his passion for Star Wars “unparalleled.” The comment came in a recent interview discussing Contreras’ history with the franchise, including his work on Star Wars Jedi titles and his new role as narrative lead on Star Wars Zero Company.

Let’s Talk About Star Wars Jedi 3 Release Rumors — And Why It’s Too Early
Lately, you may have seen headlines suggesting that the next Star Wars Jedi game could arrive in the first half of 2026. Let’s slow down for a moment. There has been no official release window announcement from EA, Respawn, or Lucasfilm Games. None. And in the current state of the industry, that detail matters more than ever. Where the 2026 talk is coming from The speculation seems to be built on production timelines and assumptions about how long AAA sequels usually take. On paper, that can make sense. Fallen Order launched in 2019. Survivor followed in 2023. A 2026 target doesn’t sound impossible. But “possible” is not the same thing as confirmed. Right now, EA’s marketing focus has shifted away from Jedi: Survivor and toward Star Wars: Zero Company — a title that is officially slated for 2026 and still doesn’t have a specific release date. If a game already…

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Update 1-21 – Broken Vader, Accelerated Batcher, and Conquest Compensation
Another day, another Galaxy of Heroes patch… and this one comes with a little bit of everything. EA just dropped Update 1-21, and the headline items are exactly the kind of chaos the community loves: Broken Vader, Batcher moved to Accelerated Characters, and Conquest compensation landing in inboxes. Plus, a handful of fixes ranging from mod recommendation issues to summon bugs, environment loading problems, and one very specific correction: Maul (Hate-Fueled) was apparently too optimistic about his size. Yes, that’s in the official update notes. Today’s News: The Big Stuff Broken Vader?! The update notes open with “Broken Vader!” — and honestly, that’s enough to make every SWGOH player stop what they’re doing.
