Star Wars Battlefront: Classic Collection has somehow messed up the iconic loading screens by messing up the sound effects that play during them.

According to a new report published by DualShockers, Creative Assembly is working on a Total War: Star Wars game. The sources actually mention this is one of three Total War projects and they do not know exactly when each game will be released.

20th Century Fox’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes went bananas this weekend, raking in a reported $55-56M per Deadline. Strong previews and a $20 million Saturday propelled the sci-fi adventure to the top of the charts, while a $72.5M international haul pushed its global tally to $129M ($13.2M from Imax).

Star Wars has been the subject of memes and in-jokes amongst fans for decades now, and the franchise has taken one of the most absurd of these and made it official in the most recent teaser trailer for an upcoming Disney+ Star Wars show.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew turned to one of the VFX artists who helped bring some of the original trilogy's most memorable special effects to life.

Universal’s The Fall Guy stumbled out of the gates, earning $28.5 million in its opening frame, far below the $35M many anticipated, per Deadline. That’s about on par with most comedies of this ilk (see Sandra Bullock’s The Lost City), but David Leitch’s action comedy cost anywhere between $130M-$150M to produce and needed to get off to a strong start, particularly considering the upcoming competition.

Star Wars and Fortnite have always enjoyed a fruitful partnership, but now Disney’s put its sizeable bank balance behind Epic Games, there was always the possibility of a greater collaboration. And after weeks of teasing, that’s exactly what’s been announced. Beginning from 3rd May, the eve of Star Wars Day, you can expect an epic collaboration with George Lucas’ sci-fi series which will extend to virtually all aspects of the culturally colossal video game platform.

Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace is returning to movie theaters on May 3 to celebrate its 25th anniversary. This essay was inspired by its re-release.

With the highly anticipated premiere of Star Wars: The Acolyte just two months away, details about the narrative remain scarce. However, the showrunner has recently surprised fans with unexpected new information.

now has an iconic ship from the prequel trilogy, thanks to a mod. Considering Bethesda's space RPG lets players explore several star systems and planets in a variety of ships, it should come as no surprise that there's been no shortage of mods incorporating elements of other fan-favorite sci-fi franchises.

You never forget a place like Morrowind. It’s like something out of a dream, only you’ve actually been there. Maybe you used a mouse and keyboard, or the Xbox “Duke” controller, to visit it. But that doesn’t make it any less real.

The Acolyte is the latest in a long line of Star Wars shows set to hit Disney Plus. but it's shaping up to be very different to the likes of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. 

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor was one of our favourite games of last year (here's our five-star review to prove it), so we couldn't resist the opportunity to ask a few questions to its composers at the BAFTA Games Awards.

A new trailer for Ubisoft's upcoming open-world game, , has shown more of scoundrel Kay Vess' story, providing an insight into her motives and backstory, along with the many threats she will face on her journey. The new, action-packed footage showed Kay engaging in combat both on land and in space and featured the return of various iconic characters and creatures from the original trilogy.

Star Wars actor Hayden Christensen has opened up about one thing about his character’s appearance that George Lucas disapproved of and had to convince him to put that aspect in his story.

In a surprising turn of events, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is coming to PC, over eight years after the game was first released. Galaxy of Heroes was first released for mobile devices in late 2015 when the hype around Star Wars was enormous thanks to The Force Awakens, and at last, it's coming to a new platform.

What are legends if not memes plus time? Several Star Wars fans were recently shocked to discover that a number of running gags among the series fandom have crossed the threshold into a bizarre sort of canon. Apparently, they've been around long enough to bleed into the franchise itself.

In a recent interview, actor Liam Neeson spoke on his role as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Jinn first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace in 1999, which was released almost 16 years after the previous entry in the Star Wars saga, Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi. Unfortunately, Neeson’s commentary on the role included a logical reason for why he may never return to it.

A classic PlayStation 1 game will reemerge from the dead in April, according to a new PlayStation Network (PSN) leak. The sci-fi franchise established by George Lucas’ films has had a series of spin-offs in various media, including dozens of video games over the years. Some of the most notable ones are,, and. Recently, the series went through a renaissance of sorts with the release of and its sequel .

Some observant Star Wars fans may have picked up on some hidden depth in Obi-Wan Kenobi's earliest appearance from the franchise. But is it simply excellent acting that stands the test of time? Or was it truly a sign that creator George Lucas had certain plans from the start?

There's a hidden Indiana Jones Easter egg tucked away in one of Star Wars's most divisive movies, and we're betting you didn't notice it. 

While Star Wars is arguably in a new golden age for lore-building content, one fan has some really strong words concerning one part of the franchise that was formerly steeped in lore but seems to have lost a lot of significance in more recent media.

Two decades on from its original launch, Star Wars Battlefront is suffering a disaster of a re-release. Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, a compilation featuring the first two games in the series, is a messier than a Jawa that swallowed a thermal detonator thanks to server problems, bugs, and more. What was at first a highly-anticipated re-release has become the target of overwhelmingly negative reviews on Steam.

Star Wars fans may have uncovered an interesting shared trait among 3 of the most prominent characters in the franchise at the moment. They may all be the same age despite appearing so far apart. But those making this realization for the first time might wonder how they never noticed this possibility.

When it comes to licensed movie franchises entering the world of video games, very few have as storied a history as Star Wars. From hopping into an X-Wing cockpit in Rogue Squadron to making decisions that affect the fate of the galaxy in Knights of the Old Republic, George Lucas’ expansive sci-fi universe has become a creative playground for a range of talented developers over the years, and with it paved the way for some truly iconic Star Wars games.

The Mace Windu vs. Palpatine scene debate among Star Wars fans is still going strong decades later, and one fan on social media thinks that they’ve found the smoking blaster in the case to decide which of the two iconic Force users won.

Steven Spielberg has revealed his pick for the best movie he's ever made. 

The browser-based game has recently gone viral, challenging players to combine words to produce thousands upon thousands of new word-crafting elements. Some elements reference massive pop culture franchises, including one of the most popular franchises of all:. Players can combine elements to create the element and use it to create new elements referencing George Lucas’ series of epic sci-fi films.

Much like the mystical religions spread by its Bene Gesserit, the influences of Dunespread to every corner of the universe of science fiction. In some stories, the inspirations are woven so tightly into the fabric of the story they’re nearly impossible to pick up, maybe even for the author themself. In others, the homages to Dune are unmissable, occasionally to the point of being distracting. And then there’s Star Wars, the most blatant ripoff of all — at least, according to Frank Herbert.

George Lucas' original Star Warssequel trilogy plans are back in the public eye after one fan posted choice excerpts from a particularly insightful retrospective on the franchise and the potential direction it could’ve taken.

The Star Wars sequels certainly get their fair share of criticism, but there are also plenty of fans out there, and one fan recently showed their appreciation for the trilogy by turning the modern movies into old-school VHS tapes.

In the recent MCU flop era, the Disney Plus series What If...? has proven to be one of Marvel Studios' more creative and popular ventures, and according to a new rumor, the Star Wars franchise may be getting its version.

After plenty of rumors and speculation, it’s been revealed that will be entering production soon.

Just like the films, video games are almost always highly anticipated, and luckily, there are already some games lined up to look forward to in 2024 and beyond. George Lucas' creation has blossomed over decades into one of the largest media franchises in existence, with classic games like and standing as important contributions. Following Disney's acquisition of the IP, Electronic Arts was the sole publisher allowed to release officially licensed games. That is no longer the case, and other companies have joined the roster of upcoming titles.

We all have those memories of games – hopefully only figuratively – scaring the crap out of us.

On Saturday night, Kiss closed out the final performance of their “The End of the Road” farewell tour at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden. But as dedicated fans surely know — they were never going to call it quits. Not really. During their encore, the band's current lineup — founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons as well as guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer — left the stage to reveal digital avatars of themselves. After the transformation, the virtual Kiss launched into a performance of “God Gave Rock and Roll to You.”

We all knew that Ahsoka would pick up plotlines from Star Wars: Clone Wars and Rebels. But I didn’t expect its finale to reprise the most baffling piece of cinematic Star Wars media I’ve ever consumed.

I’ve never been great at math, but Doom plus Indiana Jones seems like an equation for success. In the 30 years since Doom’s release, we’ve seen hundreds, perhaps thousands, of total conversion mods, from the excellent Brutal Doom to the cerebral and scary My House. Now, the defining PC FPS from id Software gets a dose of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, as an enormous Doom mod casts you in the role of a Stetson-wearing treasure hunter blasting his way through Mesopotamia and Egypt. If you’ve been waiting on a new Indiana Jones game, like for example the one from Bethesda, this will more than tide you over in the meantime.

Grand Admiral Thrawn arrived when the Star Wars universe needed him most. With the movie series effectively dead after Return of the Jedi, author Timothy Zahn stepped in on assignment from Lucasfilm and its partner Bantam Spectra to come up with a Darth Vader-level character who could rival Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa in the post-Empire years, and an adventure that would resuscitate the biggest blockbuster franchise of all time with mere prose. Boy, did he.

If you haven’t been paying attention these past couple of weeks, Starfield is something of a big deal. Love it or hate it, there’s no denying it’s the biggest launch of this generation. The community was already releasing mods the day it released, and now someone is deciding to really hammer home the “stars” theme.

Solo: A Star Wars Storyapologists, rejoice: Not only is Donald Glover’s proposed spinoff series Lando still happening, but as the star’s brother/creative cohort Stephen Glover revealed this week, it’s being redeveloped as a Star Wars movie.

The Star Wars franchise has a long and venerable history when it comes to video games, and soon, one of the earliest and most beloved games based on George Lucas’ sci-fi universe will be reintroduced to modern audiences for the first time in high definition.

If watching Ahsoka feels a bit like walking in on the middle of a story instead of the beginning, that’s because it kind of is. While it’s not billed as such, the latest live-action Star Wars show is very much a sequel to the animated series Star Wars Rebels, reuniting its cast to tell the next chapter in a story that creator Dave Filoni and his collaborators have been telling, in one form or another, since The Clone Wars premiered on Cartoon Network in 2008. That said, it is also a follow-up to plot threads introduced in the second season of The Mandalorian, and, presumably, setup for one of three forthcoming Star Wars films.

From the moment Zack Snyder’s ambitious Netflix space opera Rebel Moon was first announced, one aspect of its backstory has earned more attention than anything else: The film began as a Star Wars pitch.

Disney Plus has announced a new Star Wars special – and fans think it hints at Hayden Christensen's appearance in Ahsoka.

Ahsoka will be all about "master-apprentice relationships", says writer Dave Filoni. Oh, and epic lightsaber fights, of course... 

Ever wondered what kind of nightmarish, extraterrestrial smoothy you could whip up with the disgusting liquids that barbarian Luke Skywalker was always chugging down? It might not actually taste that bad; as dedicated fans well know, George Lucas had a bad habit of making things sound worse than they actually are (see "Jizz" as an example of this, the specific kind of space-jazz employed by the Max Rebo band).

While the box-office haul of this summer’s Transformers: Rise of the Beastsdoesn’t compare to the highest highs of the Michael Bay era, it’s still a big enough hit that fans of the robots in disguise should expect another sequel in the future (and one with a toy line crossover twist). In fact, Transformers 8 isn’t even the only TF movie Paramount Pictures has in the works: Announced in April, the studio will release the animated Transformers One in theaters in 2024. Longtime Transformers movie series producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura tells Polygon says the movie is big — maybe the biggest Transformers story his team has brought to screen yet.

Star Wars Outlaws is the next upcoming game in a galaxy farfaraway, and since it’s a Ubisoft Original (TM), our adventures with the main scoundrel Kay Vess take place in an open world. Outlaw’s newest behind-the-scenes featurette delves deeper into the game’s free roaming planets, both old (Tatooine, of course, because we play as a Han Solo-type) and new (Toshara, which actually looks pretty cool). Find it below.
