Although Star Wars has become a fixture of movie culture over the generations, it's also left a signature stamp on the world of video games. From LEGO spin-offs and NES movie adaptations to pod-racing simulators, it's hard to talk to someone about games they loved as a kid without the words Star Wars cropping up in there somewhere.

Star Wars Day is right around the corner which means the frequency of deals and product reveals to celebrate May 4 is starting to ramp up. One of the most unique celebrations of the event will be at Heroes & Villains. Not just because the site is launching a range of exclusive new Star Wars t-shirts, but because it will be launching one of its four new designs per day between May 2 and May 5, and once that design's day is over, that t-shirt will be gone forever.

While there may already be plenty of LEGO sets for the universe, two video game-exclusive characters may finally get the due as a joint set. The galaxy far, far away has become known as one of LEGO's standout sets thanks to the brand's blocky aesthetic fitting neatly with the franchise's vehicles and landscapes. Yet while plenty of very obscure characters have been immortalized as LEGO pieces, two iconic heroes have yet to earn the same treatment but this may fortunately be about to change.

Fans finally have their first look at Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’sCal Kestis as a LEGO Star Wars minifigure. The first LEGO Star Wars building sets were released in 1999 to promote Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and for the past 25 years the Galaxy Far, Far Away has been one of LEGO’s most popular settings. About 928 LEGO Star Wars sets have been released as of April 2024, and there have been countless tie-in animated movies and Traveller’s Tales-developed LEGO Star Wars video games to go with them.

Lego has been rolling out Star Wars sets at a faster rate than usual so far in 2024 to celebrate 25 years of turning locations, characters, and vehicles from a galaxy far, far away into Minifigures and sets. New R2-D2 and Millennium Falcon sets are already available, and a TIE Interceptor set will be released later this week ahead of Star Wars Day. To further mark 25 years of working with Star Wars, Lego has put together a video featuring characters and elements from throughout the series, including some who haven't been turned into Lego yet.

This has been a pretty busy week for new releases, with the likes of Another Crab’s Treasure, Stellar Blade, Sand Land, and more coming out. Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s video game subscription service, has also had quite a busy week. Three games in particular stand out as must-plays this weekend for those who want to delve a bit further into the service rather than spend money on a new game.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now download the service's newest addition, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members and Star Wars fans who skipped the game's release could be in for a treat.

A third entry in Electronic Arts and developer Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi series seems to have been confirmed by a job listing looking for a Senior Game Writer. After several years of fumbling its exclusive Star Wars license with the Battlefront games, Respawn Entertainment's third-person action Soulslike Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order pleasantly surprised fans in 2019. Its follow-up, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, was released about a year ago to rave reviews despite its rocky technical launch and performance issues, which have since been fixed. Survivor's impeccable storytelling, intricate level design, and challenging lightsaber combat boosted it into the conversation of 2023's best games.

Respawn Entertainment’sStar Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available for EA Play subscribers on April 25th. Of course, it’s also playable for PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate members.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor seems to be in the process of making its way to EA Play.

Your journey across the galaxy as former Jedi Padawan Cal in will eventually end, but there are still things you can do once the credits roll. There are still many parts of the game you may want to experience, from exploring missed sections of planets to unlocking new cosmetics. Those looking to keep swinging their lightsaber can keep pursuing various goals.

Ubisoft Massive's open world action-adventure Star Wars Outlaws will release on 30th August 2024, according to a new story trailer which introduces us properly to "emerging scoundrel" Kay Vess, aka Hannah Solo. If you haven't had the pleasure, Kay is a budding crook on the run from her underworld boss, a journey that sees her tangling with several other Star Wars crime syndicates on various planets. It really feels like they're keeping a lot of the headline Star Wars stuff at a respectful distance for this one: yes, Jabba the Hutt makes an appearance, but there's nary a whiff of The Force, Jedi or Sith in the trailer and not once does anybody build a Death Star.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor drew from many different sources from across the legendary franchise, including the extremely controversial Last Jedi. The second installment in Respawn’s series of Star Wars action titles launched last April and continued the story of Cal Kestis as he traveled across the galaxy on a new mission to uncover a lost Jedi sanctuary. Along the way, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players unlock new lightsaber stances and Force abilities, battle bounty hunters and Imperial stormtroopers alike, and explore several classic Star Wars locations.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched last year and, despite having a decent number of performance issues, was chock-full of references to the movies to create a world that fans of the series loved exploring and learning more about. With a seemingly endless amount of source material to choose from, you can likely find inspirations in Jedi: Survivor from across the entire series, but one big inspiration was staring all of us in the face the entire time.

Electronic Arts was the latest publisher to join the industry in laying off a portion of its workforce. It also announced the closure of Ridgeline Games, with Criterion now working on future Battlefield campaigns, and cancelled Respawn’s Star Wars FPS (rumored to feature a playable Mandalorian).

Details about Respawn's canceled Star Wars video game have emerged, as its first-person shooter gameplay would have seemingly provided players with an action-packed linear experience in the role of a Mandalorian bounty hunter. Though Respawn's foray into the Galaxy Far Far Away has been through Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor, two critically acclaimed Star Wars titles, Respawn's rise to fame came through Titanfall, a first-person shooter franchise published by Electronic Arts. Widely praised for its fun gameplay, it made sense that Respawn would eventually tackle a Star Wars first-person shooter, which is why the project's cancelation came as a shock to the gaming community as a whole.

With Electronic Arts joining an ever-growing list of companies being hit with layoffs and announcing a 5% reduction in its workforce, the full ramifications of how that will affect individual projects and studios within the company are also being clearer.

It’s incredible how a few years can change everything within a fan-favorite media universe. For Star Wars, it was very much “the end is near” after the sequel films made money, but it didn’t resonate with fans in meaningful ways. The last two films in the set were so divisive that they’re still debated today regarding their “quality.” However, the franchise has done much better on the TV and video game side of things. Not perfect! There were still issues here and there, but it was much better than the films. To that end, one of the teams behind this “renaissance” is gearing up for a new title.

Star Wars Jedi actor Cameron Monaghan said he is open to portraying series protagonist Cal Kestis in a live-action setting, as long as it furthers "the story or the character in some way".

Cal Kestis actor Cameron Monaghan has spoken about whether he would be interested in taking his Star Wars character into live action after portraying him in two Star Wars Jedi games.

If you’re a fan of the Star Wars Jedi franchise, then you might have been keen on seeing some of these characters pop up in a live-action series or movie. After all, Star Wars has had a strong lineup of live-action shows since the recent trilogy wrapped. Fortunately, the main protagonist in the series, Cal Kestis, could appear in a live-action series with the same actor who portrays him in the video games.

Star Wars Jedi actor Cameron Monaghan says he’d like to reprise his role as Cal Kestis in a live-action Star Wars project, but only if it “makes sense”.

Respawn Entertainment introduced a new beloved character to the Star Wars universe with Cal Kestis, the protagonist of the acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor action/adventure games.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has been awarded a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, a rare nod from the more established mainstream award industry. Jedi: Survivor beat out the likes of God of War Ragnarok, Hogwarts Legacy, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical for the honour.

Lego has been making Star Wars sets for 25 years, and it seems the two will be collaborating more than ever this year to celebrate that milestone. Adding to the rumors that a new Death Star set will launch this year is news that an additional two sets, both pulling from very popular areas of a galaxy far, far away, will join it. Best of all for Knights of the Old Republic fans, one of those sets will include a Darth Malak Minifigure.

During the Ocala Comic Con event, the voice and motion capture artist behind the protagonist Cal Kestis said, “We're working on the third. We're in the process of doing it right now.” The news comes as a surprise, considering the series director Stig Asmussen, who rebuilt and instilled faith in single-player Star Wars games, recently left EA/ Respawn Entertainment. However, he always expressed interest in furthering and concluding Cal's arc through a trilogy, with discussions of a sequel dating back even before 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was out.

Cal Kestis hasn’t made it across to live-action in a galaxy far, far away just yet – but Ahsoka has given us the next best thing.

Given how big 2023 has been for gaming on numerous levels, it can be easy to forget that certain titles have been out for several months and were really incredible when they arrived. One such title was Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

Star Wars fans across the galaxy are sharing their hopes on Reddit for upcoming Disney Plus projects – and we're loving their ideas. 

I love the Sith and the Jedi—space magic and laser swords have always been a winning combo. But I've also always wanted a more ground-level look at the Star Wars universe, especially in gaming. For example, the Imperial Agent storyline from BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic works so well precisely because it's more concerned with intergalactic politics and spy thriller nonsense over mystical force mumbo-jumbo.

Microsoft has updated the file size for Starfield on Xbox Series X|S.
