2024 hasn’t started off quite so well, with EAcancelling the Star Wars FPS gameRespawn were working on.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashedisn’t perfect, but it’s a personal favourite.

Also, look at Starkiller holding a lightsaber behind his back in the image above.

That’s a very cool stance.

Let me tell you, podracing has never felt so good.

It might look old, but the sense of speed is still incredibly real.

Or just to survive in general.

If youre eager to dive into Star Wars for hundreds of hours, The Old Republic has you covered.

I tend to say that regardless of the Star Wars content, lightsabers make something good.

They’re colourful laser swords that make cool noises.

We’d also suggest checking outSekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

It’s commercialism, without a doubt.

But also, have you considered that BD-1 is very cute and I want one?

We won’t spoil them all here, but Oggdo Bogdo is the worst and I hate it.

But I love to hate it.
