Celebrating Star Wars Video Games

I didn’t even know this existed!

The giant monster known as “the gorog” from from force unleashed 2

A fun fact about this guy in Force Unleashed 2 is that originally he was named “the Orlock” after Nosferatu, but after we had already recorded and animated, somebody in legal decided that we might get sued by the Murnau estate.

Not having him and/or Black Sun in Outlaws kinda baffles me.

Battlefront II for GBA was featured in this episode of The New Adventures of Old Christine on October 9, 2006, about 11 months after its release. Just one problem -- it never came out for GBA. You also never burned any villages (right?). So much wrong here in just 12 seconds!

"Bear"? Or Ewok?!

This looks super fun either way.

The Shadows of the Empire transmedia effort was truly ahead of its time. Basically had everything but live action attached to it.

Somewhat related to Shadows of the Empire, I liked Outlaws, but not including Black Sun and properly introducing Xizor to current canon was a huge missed opportunity.

June 14 1997, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire debuted on the N64 in Japan!

It is unique among Nintendo 64 games for using a digitized orchestral soundtrack (from the excellent Joel McNeely composition) instead of MIDI-sequenced synthesis, which was the original plan!

Right there with you. Here was my reaction on Facebook upon hearing the news. To your point, the one time I ever met him was at E3, enjoying games.

Interesting to see how the results differ from here and YouTube.

Sure thing! It was one of four horrendously awful MSX games released only in Spain. Probably the second best of the bunch, for whatever that’s worth. 😀 youtu.be/TecgBd2LmbY

Rare? VERY.

Good? Well...

A true Star Wars gaming rarity just hit eBay.

$445.95 is actually a very good price, too, believe it or not. www.ebay.com/itm/33598569...

Years from now, EA\'s Battlefront II will be remembered as...

1️⃣ ...the game with a disastrous launch
2️⃣️ ...the game that heroically recovered from a disastrous launch
3️⃣ ...just being a great Star Wars game
4️⃣ Something else (please comment!)

These four words—delivered perfectly by Skarsgard—encapsulate everything that makes Luthen the most captivating Star Wars character of the Disney era. A chilling mix of ruthlessness and sincerity.

Saw in hologram form from Andor season 2 saying, “I have no idea where I am.”

When you come back to a video game after taking a break

Learned something today!

I gotta say: the Darth Jar Jar skin looks fine, but the bundle with the old-fashioned Episode I Jar Jar Binks looks *fantastic.*

Very excited about the launch of the 2nd dlc I worked on!
I mostly did architecture kits, so not exactly worth making an artstation post, but that dlc was a lot of fun 💅

Oooooh I forgot! I'm off to meet Kay Vess for one last adventure! Too bad I won't have time to play it right away (especially since I'm in the middle of Jedi survivor lol).

I like Kay Vess, but it’s going to be hard to go stealthing again in the new Outlaws DLC without wishing I were Kleya instead.

SUPER-MINOR ANDOR SPOILER AHEAD

Anyone else try to apply your recently acquired understanding of sabacc to that one scene in Andor last night? Anyone else fail miserably at that?

This book is AWESOME ✨

It's the nicest mix of 'a stroll down memory lane' and 'seeing something you've never seen before in a museum' 🎮‼️

Anakin Skywalker easter egg in THE ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION remaster

We'd get the answer a few years later. And every year since.

Everyone laughed at the new joke most of us had never heard before. Some shook their heads at the silly pun. No further thought was given to actually releasing the game on that day.

'Cause who in their right mind would take #MayThe4th seriously as a marketing message?
