In an interview with STACK, Respawn Entertainment’s narrative lead, Aaron Contreras provided further details about the backstory behind Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, gameplay info, and more. Why Fallen Order is Set Shortly After Revenge of the Sith When asked about the timeline of the game, Contreras stated that the Respawn team decided to roll with a period just a few years past Revenge of the Sith because they found it to be one of the most intriguing ages in the Star Wars franchise. Aaron went on to say that due to the Empire having immense power throughout the galaxy during this time and Order 66 being in place, this period paved the way for a story based on an emerging hero – one that has to stay off the Empire’s radar and fighting to flee persecution. Why Force Players to Utilize a Specific Character? Aaron also shed a little…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – Can We Trust EA?
Normally speaking, when there’s a brand new Star Wars game on the horizon, it’s a time of great excitement for all of us. As much as we all love (and will continue to love) Star Wars: The Old Republic, it never hurts to have another game or two to play. As we already know, the final few months of this year will bring us Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. They’ll also bring us the Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker movie, which is just as exciting, but we focus on games on this website. We’ll leave the movie hype to somebody else! Everything we’ve seen about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks fantastic. The graphics look great. The promises we’ve been made about gameplay sound outstanding. We have every reason to be placing pre-orders already – but why are so many of us reluctant to do so? The answer might…
5 Unreal Engine Star Wars Fan Games
You know we love fan-created Star Wars stuff here. While some of it is very amateur, honestly, it’s all a lot of fun. Maybe that’s because only true Star Wars fans can appreciate it. The Retro Gaming Magazine has five great Unreal Engine Star Wars fan games you are going to want to hurry and check out before they get shut down by Disney/LucasArts. On the list? Star Wars Dark Forces Star Wars Dark Forces 2 Star Wars Rogue Squadron Star Wars Episode 1 Racer Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (already shut down, sadly) This one was a real heartbreaker because we (and many of you) were big KOTOR fans. I was so excited to tell you about this project and then LucasArts came along and gave it the ax. Are there any Unreal Engine remakes or fan games you’d add to the list? Let us know about…

Here is an inteview: You recently became the Senior Producer for SWGOH, tell us a bit about yourself!MD – Well, that’s a big question. I’m a gaming industry veteran and earned my first video game paycheck back in 1987. That was actually working as an independent developer on a science fiction role playing game (Hard Nova) that was published by EA. Since then, I’ve worked for a number of video game companies including 3DO, LucasArts, & Telltale. It may sound like a cliche, but I am extremely passionate about video games – both developing &…
Lego Star Wars: Rise of TT Games
We’ve been talking about this new Lego Star Wars game and I’ve gotta tell ya, I am excited about it! Traveler’s Tales has been bringing us great Lego games for a very long time now. In fact, they’ve been putting out at least one per year for more than 15 years now. Some of those years, the UK developer put out as many as three Elgo games. They’ve made games on all your favorite famous IPs and franchises and it has been a long, glorious ride. While Lego has made their presence in video games before this, but it was the release of 2005 Lego Star Wars: The Video Game that really launched the Lego game fad.

We Want More Star Wars Games (But Without Jedi?)
I think something we can all agree on is that we want more Star Wars games. I’ve been writing about it here for years and even more sadly, written about it each time an anticipated Star Wars game got canned. And honestly, it sucks. Which is why a lot of fans are excited about the latest Star Wars game on the way – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Fan Remake
There is a fan remake of Star Wars: Dark Forces in Unreal Engine 4 and it is now available for download. Created by Obsidian Entertainment’s senior environment artist, Jason Lewis, this remake aimed to recreate the first level from the game in Epic’s engine. The map doesn’t have any enemies so it’s just for recreation, but it looks to deliver on the fun. The attention to detail is really amazing and it also gives us a visual of what a modern take on this classic Star Wars shooter might look like. See it in action here: For those who may not remember, Star Wars: Dark Forces is a first-person shooter that came out in 1995. It used Jedi Engine, a game engine created especially for the game. It had some really cool features that were previously unheard of for a first-person shooter at the time, like multiple floored level design…
Star Wars 1313 – What Could Have Been
There have been almost too many canceled Star Wars games to count, but one that makes us really sad is Star Wars 1313. It had a lot of potential, but unfortunately was trashed before it would get to see the light of day. To recap for those who don’t remember, this wasn’t the canceled Star Wars game from Visceral Games, or the open world one that came right after the closing of Visceral. This was, indeed, another Star Wars games, from back when LucasArts was still making the games themselves. Star Wars 1313 predates Lucasfilm getting bought by Disney and the licensing of Star Wars games going to EA. Star Wars 1313 was canceled back in 2013, after it had been put on hold for a year, back in 2012. So what’s new? Last month, Naughty Dog animator Jonathan Cooper shared an animation on Twitter giving us a little look…

TT Games designer Mike Consalvey confirms that the new Lego Star Wars game, The Skywalker Saga, will not have any microtransactions. This is big news for gamers interested in playing this new LEGO game, but who are fed up with microtransactions that can really have an impact on the games we play. What will it have instead? A new currency called Kyber Bricks is used in place of the gold bricks that were a staple of every LEGO game that came before. Kyber Bricks are a spin on Star Wars’ Kyber Crystals, which are used to power the Jedi and Sith lightsabers. ” So yeah, with Kyber Bricks, essentially… if you know about the history of LEGO games, in general, we have Gold Bricks. Kyber Bricks is that sort of same collectible; the method of collecting Kyber Bricks is pretty much the same as Gold Bricks. But in this instance, we’re using them to add different…
Jedi Fallen Order: Weekly Recap
I promised to bring you all the news and updates I could find about the new Star Wars game, Jedi: Fallen Order. This past week does not disappoint because there are some goodies to share your way. First, let’s talk about the protagonist. Fallen Order is bringing us Cal Kestis, played my Cameron Monaghan. If you were expecting a female lead, it’s not happening in this one. Reports say that’s actually because of Rey. Apparently, the game’s director Stig Asmussen says Rey is directly the reason they didn’t use a female for the lead role. “We talked about different gender,” Asmussen told Game Informer on its video podcast. “We arrived where we were because at the time, Rey was the thing for Star Wars, and so it made a lot more sense for us to have a male protagonist.” Not sure it makes “a lot more sense” to me. I mean, is…
