14.3.2024
Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, which combines remastered versions of the first two Pandemic-developed games, is now out on consoles and PC. And while I’m enjoying the chance to replay this favorite of mine from yesteryear, bugs and other problems make it tricky to recommend in...

The internet is obsessed with South American beer ads that were sneakily edited into Star Wars movies in the early 2000s, and has started sticking the beverage’s infectious jingle into other famous films. If you’ve been wondering why your timeline is covered in Cerveza Cristal jokes, here’s why....

As announced on January 9, another Star Wars film is on the way, one based on The Mandalorian’s dynamic duo: Din “the Mandalorian” Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu, who is not baby Yoda. Titled The Mandalorian And Grogu, it will be directed by Jon Favreau, who helped create the popular Disney+...
Star Wars: Ahsoka Is Quietly Showing That Anyone Can Be A Jedi
30.8.2023
Star Wars: Ahsoka on Disney+ is a TV series that feels like a lot of different things, including a sequel to the animated series Rebels and a new live-action story about masters and apprentices. But what’s quickly becoming my favorite part of the show is its focus on a struggling padawan...
As Star Wars Stagnates, Star Trek Is Flourishing
10.8.2023
Can you imagine Luke Skywalker singing? Probably not. But just recently, Star Trek let Spock, Kirk, and even some Klingons sing and dance. And it didn’t happen in a weird dream or some obscure book for super nerds, but in an episode of the franchise’s current flagship series. Again, can you imagine...

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Might Include The First Canonical Toilet In A Star Wars Game
1.5.2023
There I was, exploring the large hub world of Koboh, the first planet you visit after the opening section of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. I had found myself inside a grungy cantina on the planet. And without realizing it, I went the wrong way and stumbled into the cantina’s refresher aka the bathroom....
Let’s Discuss The Mind-Blowing Ending To Obi-Wan
23.6.2022
So, Obi-Wan. If nothing else, you can’t deny that it was a TV show, and that after six episodes, it has now ended its run on Disney+, at least for now. Obviously, Kotaku’s biggest Star Wars nerds—Ethan Gach, Ari Notis, and, no surprise here for longtime readers, Zack Zwiezen—had to talk about...

9.6.2022
If you’ve played a lot of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you might have spotted a small but cool connection to it in the latest episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. You may have also noticed a much sadder callback to a Clone Wars character. Read more
Obi-Wan Kenobi Just Crossed Over With Jedi Fallen Order
2.6.2022
The third and most recent episode of the newest Disney Star Wars show, Obi-Wan Kenobi, featured a pretty big and wild appearance by a classic character. That moment probably distracted a lot of folks from a less big, but also cool reference to the Respawn-developed video game, Star Wars Jedi:...

31.5.2022
Hey! Remember Blitzball? It was that weird-looking, but also kind of cool underwater sport from Final Fantasy X? Well, now Blitzball is (sort of) a part of the Star Wars universe thanks to a person who used to write about the NHL and his new book starring Anakin and Obi-Wan. Read more
Real Lego Figures Vs Skywalker Saga’s Digital Recreations
17.5.2022
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is excellent. It’s one of my favorite video games of 2022 and is probably my favorite Star Wars game ever made. It’s also one of my favorite Lego games, too. As a big Lego fan and someone with many sets and minifigs, I decided to use some of my expensive plastic...
The 10 Best Star Wars Games Ever Made
6.5.2022
Looking online it seems there have been approximately 64,534 Star Wars games released since the first film hit theaters in the ‘70s. (Editor’s note: That’s incorrect.) But, while many of them are good, some are really, really good. These are the kind of games that are so great that even non-Star...
Lego Star Wars Makes Comboing Younglings A Real Strategy
6.4.2022
The Jedi Code says one must not “seek adventure and excitement” and to use the Force for “knowledge and defense, never for attack,” blah blah blah. Someone should’ve told Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that, because fans have discovered that it lets you get some sick air by comboing Jedi...

A long time ago (last year) in a galaxy far, far away (Hollywood), Disney execs confirmed a never-ending slew of Star Wars shows, including multiple spin-offs of The Mandalorian (stop reading now if you’re averse to spoilers for season two of that show). Today, Disney released the trailer for...
