https://gamerant.com Star Wars is a multimedia franchise originally created by George Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd with the 1977 motion picture. The science fiction franchise follows the adventures of characters (both humanoid and alien) in outer space including those who can wield a mystical power known as the Force. Since the release of the original trilogy movies, the franchise has expanded to include multiple films and branched out to other mediums like comics, video games, tv shows, theme park attractions, and more. The IP and Lucasfilm were sold to Disney in 2012. Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:00:18 GMT en-US hourly 60 Along with providing the world of cinema with several notable classics, the Star Wars franchise has contributed many exciting products to the world of gaming. Starting with Atari's 1982 adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars games have grown and prospered over the decades, eventually leading to several gaming classics.

]]> Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:30:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/best-star-wars-games-all-time/ Star Wars has a hard time expanding its scope. The franchise ostensibly supports a massive open universe of endless possibilities, but it tends to fall back on the same handful of familiar names and faces. Darth Maul provides an interesting example by dying in his first appearance before being brought back to live on forever in external material. His evil gang, the Shadow Collective, brought him into contact with the Mandalorians.

The sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will have Respawn faced with a choice in design priorities, deciding whether it should go further down the current route, or go back to the more linear but varied planets of the original.

The first piece of the saber can be found early in the game while exploring the planet Coruscant during the introduction. However, players must wait until they unlock the second planet, Koboh, to get the full set. To assist Jedi: Survivor players in obtaining the Patience Lightsaber, this guide reveals the locations of all four chests on Coruscant and Koboh and explains how to access them.

With refined skill trees, a slew of new Force abilities, new lightsaber stances, new enemy types, and much, much more, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor improved upon its predecessor in almost every way, and it's earned critical acclaim for doing so. But despite its great reception, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor isn't perfect.

]]> Sun, 28 May 2023 22:41:48 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-new-game-plus-angry-stormtrooper/ Last month, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor hit store shelves and digital storefronts worldwide. The game was overall well-reviewed though some critics noted that the story wasn't as compelling as the first one, as well as some technical issues detracting from the experience. Regardless of what one may think of the story, however, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor repeats one element many fans hoped it wouldn't.

]]> Sun, 28 May 2023 18:45:08 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-survivor-darth-vader-appearances/ When Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order released in 2019, it served as a moment of salvation for Star Wars fans begging for an enjoyable single-player game. The fanbase had already endured a handful of project cancelations and disappointments, but Respawn Entertainment delivered in almost every conceivable way. Over the last few years, the next hurdle has been topping that success, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has met that challenge with an engaging story, tight gameplay, and deep customization systems. Now, many fans are wondering what's next after Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Cal Kestis has plenty of force abilities for players to utilize in his latest adventure across the galaxy, whether its traditional powers like Force Push or Kestis' own unique ability to sense the Force history of different items. However, the player in question shows how the right use of Force Slow can let other players turn an opponent's own weapons against them.

Now known as Star Wars Legends, the series provided fans with tales from before, during, and after the beloved films, including a wholly different take on how life for Luke, Leia, and Han went after Return of the Jedi.

]]> Sat, 27 May 2023 06:30:19 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-legends-stories-should-be-made-canon/ Star Wars is no stranger to video games. The franchise has had a lot of games over the years, ranging from classic genre-defining pieces to grotesque exercises in clunky gameplay. They have covered many different genres including RPG, shooter, hack-and-slash, beat 'em up, real-time strategy, puzzles, edutainment, metroidvania, souls-like, flight simulators, and racing. Despite this, there has never really been a game that allowed the player to fully immerse themselves into the universe. Sure, many of the games have allowed the player to visit iconic locations, but a lot of those games were made before open world games were possible. Even ones that allowed some exploration like Knights of the Old Republic had to limit the player to pre-defined areas.

]]> Fri, 26 May 2023 16:45:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-best-planets-great-open-world-settings/ Fans have long awaited a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the classic RPG from BioWare that redefined the genre 20 years ago. While still a legendary narrative experience, KOTOR visually shows its age and would greatly benefit from the modern update treatment many games have been receiving. The story of a major company announcing an ambitious, system-selling title only for nothing to pan out is unfortunately nothing new, evoking past vaporware disappointments like Xbox’s Scalebound.

]]> Fri, 26 May 2023 15:51:53 GMT https://gamerant.com/playstation-star-wars-kotor-remake-xbox-scalebound-development-canceled/ The Star Wars franchise is unparalleled in size with more films, TV shows, comics, and games than it is possible to count.

Putting Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury in the spotlight for the first time, Secret Invasion revolves around the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. uncovering a dark conspiracy for a band of shapeshifting Skrulls to infiltrate Earth and assume the identities of various powerful figures around the world. The series is set to debut on June 21 and will run for six episodes. And, for once, it seems as though Marvel’s latest streaming show will be a real TV series with a serialized six-part storyline, not a two-hour feature film stretched to six episodes.

]]> Wed, 24 May 2023 23:00:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/marvel-secret-invasion-star-wars-andor-comparisons-similarities/ Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic skipped out on the PlayStation Showcase, and with Embracer’s CEO dismissing questions regarding the remake it seems like it’ll be a long while before fans hear from it again. So long as the remake is still in development, though, fans shouldn’t be too disheartened. KOTOR’s remake has huge potential with how much the original put in place as a framework to iterate off of, and many of its features could easily be adapted to modern sensibilities. Considering this, there are many features that should return.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ narrative results in the player taking refuge in the woods, obscured by magic, and taking residence with many other Marvel characters in the Caretaker's Abbey. This presents an entire gameplay feature where players can explore the grounds for myriad collectibles, but Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ mission locations are unfortunately less exciting.

Characters like Boba Fett, Bo-Katan Kryze, Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Leia Organa have benefited from this attitude toward storytelling, and Natalie Portman's Padmé Amidala could be next.

Sure, a protagonist could be a natural improviser being eternally pushed around by the whims of fate, but most heroes are attempting to do something. Some examples feature heroes and villains with complex strategies, each with dozens of contingencies, moving parts, and calculated risks. When every character wants to engineer a 30-stage scheme, the author risks a chaotic Gambit Pileup.

Whether someone prefers consoles or PC, they will need to invest a fair amount of cash just to set up their stations. Once the hardware is ready to go, owners will need to turn to their platform's libraries to pick up some software.

It is true that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor being leashed to the Star Wars canon means it cannot make any bewildering choices, but its introduction of the High Republic and its dissection of Jedi morality were fascinating to explore.

But it might confuse some players because of its new mechanics: orbs, pulley ropes, and Force bridges.

It is great to see how Star Wars Jedi: Survivor introduced the High Republic era, connecting it to events that precede most iconic Star Wars stories by a considerable period, as well as how the sequel remained relevant in its present-day era between the prequel and original trilogies. Therefore, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor demonstrates how many interesting stories can be told during this tumultuous time.

But what makes its puzzle complicated is its hidden path that many Jedi: Survivor players miss in their first playthrough. Not to worry, though. This guide has everything covered about this mysterious Chamber in the heart of Devastated Settlement, including its location and puzzle solution.

It looks a bit quaint, with eight more movies in the series now. Every minor detail of the story has become a bit of crucial lore to the fans. The Sand People of Tatooine weren't very important to the original story, but they're part of the story now.

Despite several delays, the KOTOR Remake still happening, and it remains as anticipated as ever despite having little more than a teaser trailer to go on. The project promises to be a faithful remake of the original classic with updated graphics, character models, world designs, and it will be using a completely different engine from the original.

]]> Tue, 16 May 2023 20:12:10 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-kotor-remake-bastila-shan-appearance-changes/ The Star Wars franchise mostly focuses on the lives of its human protagonists. There are a few robots and an alien or two, but most of the stars of the wars are traditional human beings. The alien characters are typically side characters or background details. However, even the most minor alien race has a fair amount of backstory squirreled away somewhere. Take the Kaminoans, who provided the Republic with their clone army.

What started out as a long-awaited Minecraft clone, Fortnite quickly became one of the most popular multiplayer games on the planet, taking the recently popularized battle royale genre and elevating it to unforeseen heights. Then came Fortnite's Battle Pass system, revolutionizing the live-service model for the modern age, and pop-culture crossovers followed soon after. Now, Fortnite is not only still one of the most popular video games on the globe, but a hub for all things popular culture.

Fans are starved for one after Vader's appearances in Rogue One and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yes, Anakin was the focus of an entire trilogy of movies, but it still doesn't explore the most interesting part of Anakin/Vader's story: his life after the events of Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith.

]]> Tue, 16 May 2023 16:01:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/disney-darth-vader-movie-classic-comic-run-keiron-gillen/ The main cast of protagonists in the original Star Wars trilogy consists of three humans, two robots, and one alien. It has the feel of a good D&D party. That one alien stands out. He's the muscle of the group, a towering bear/dog man who speaks only in gruff roars and fights like a monster. Chewbacca introduced the world to the Wookiees, a charming race of furry friends.

]]> Tue, 16 May 2023 00:00:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-wookiee/ The power of the Force has evolved considerably throughout the Star Wars series. Star Wars: A New Hope, the first movie in the franchise, showcased just a small fraction of what this power can do. It was only as more information on the ability was gradually released that its true potential was finally revealed.

]]> Mon, 15 May 2023 22:30:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-most-powerful-force-abilities/ Star Wars Jedi: Survivor hit stores and digital storefronts worldwide late last month. While the game wasn't without its controversies, it was overall well-reviewed by critics and has beat EA's sales expectations. Oddly enough, the story for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor also beat out another planned game in the franchise in terms of its story and lore.

The poncho in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is certainly a unique style choice, and the game has a fun reward for anyone that picks it out.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 20:22:36 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-poncho-easter-egg-cal-happy/ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor wear their Soulslike influences on their sleeve, and that has become one of its biggest boons as an action-adventure franchise. Soulslike games are hardly rare nowadays, but seeing such inspiration for gameplay in an IP as immense as Star Wars is truly exciting. It so happens that a Jedi’s abilities and lightsaber work well within that subgenre, especially with Metroidvania level design. However, one Star Wars Jedi: Survivor stance shares even more common ground with FromSoftware’s Bloodborne.

Today, Game Rant’s weekly recap takes a look at some of the most notable headlines from the past week.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 18:34:45 GMT https://gamerant.com/video-game-news-zelda-tears-kingdom-hollow-knight-silksong-destiny/ One of, if not the most divisive Star Wars stories in recent years is Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. As fans know, Rian Johnson’s middle chapter in the sequel trilogy brought on a huge debate over some of the decisions, which continues to this day. Countless decisions were beloved by some fans, and received negatively by others. The fact that Rey was deemed a nobody, for example, angered those who felt that The Force Awakens was setting her up to be the daughter of Luke Skywalker. Snoke’s death without an explanation as to who he was or how he came to power also ruffled a few feathers.

Using the Disney and Pixar properties to combine beloved figures from various different films, Disney Dreamlight Valley epitomizes cozy gaming while still appealing to both adults and kids alike. Since it was first made available in September 2022, Disney Dreamlight Valley has been rolling out updates to help with bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, but it's also been adding a steady stream of new content like events, Realms, and characters.

Despite taking place when The Rule of Two is technically still in effect, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor channels some of the same Sith/Dark Jedi philosophies of the Sith Triumvirate into its narrative.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 00:24:39 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-final-boss-bode-cheese-force-push/ In this new era of Star Wars television, a lot of inspiration for the stories has come from The Clone Wars, the animated series created by George Lucas and the show where current scribe Dave Filoni began his journey in a galaxy far, far away. In the MandoVerse era of shows, for example, there are countless storylines and characters that hearken back to the animated series. The darksaber has played a huge role in all three seasons of The Mandalorian, and Bo-Katan Kryze was essentially a co-lead in season 3 after making the transition from animation to live action. Ahsoka Tano is another big example, as Rosario Dawson’s Jedi began her journey in The Clone Wars before the character was moved to live action.

]]> Sun, 14 May 2023 00:00:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/book-star-wars-timelines-is-cad-bane-alive-dead/ A gamer online has noticed an incredible detail about Cere's theme in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Over the years, the music has become a defining feature of the Star Wars franchise, and it's incredible to see its legacy continued in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 22:36:19 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-cere-theme-music-notes-detail/ After the first season of the fan-favorite Star Wars series Andor covered just one year of Cassian Andor’s pre-Rogue One espionage career, season 2 is covering four years in the same amount of time, which could lead to House of the Dragon-style pacing issues. The second and final season of Andor is one of the most highly anticipated upcoming Star Wars projects. Although some fans initially questioned the necessity of a Rogue One prequel focused on Cassian, those naysayers were quickly silenced by the most refreshingly bold, inventive, and insightful Star Wars story in years.

]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 16:00:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-andor-season-2-four-years-pacing-problem/ Jude Law, star of the upcoming Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series set to stream on Disney Plus, has some sly information to share about his character in the show. Many have already made assumptions about what sort of figure the English actor will play, with a popular theory being that he's secretly (or not-so-secretly) a Jedi. But it looks like things are more complex than fans might realize.

]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 14:15:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/jude-law-star-wars-skeleton-crew-character-complicated-nature/ The practicality of having an adorable little alien hanging around in The Mandalorian has seemingly rubbed off on the Star Wars franchise. When Ahsoka premieres, Grogu won't be the only funny little guy in a galaxy far, far away.

]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 12:15:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-ahsoka-grogu-creature-loth-cat/ There are many arguments for what makes a good villain. A sympathetic antagonist who thinks they're in the right can be just as much fun as an unapologetic monster without justification. One thing that most villains have in common is that they don't like to lose. Very few baddies lower their sword honorably and accept their fate. Most prefer to suffer a complete Villainous Breakdown and collapse into madness.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 22:01:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/villainous-breakdown-trope/ The Star Wars franchise has always attracted loyal fans, but all the new movies and TV shows are proving too much to keep up with – especially when not everything meets the approval of its audience. The difference between viewers and fans of a franchise is simple. Viewers watch casually and only look back to quantify their experience as good, bad, or middle-of-the-road. Fans immerse themselves in the story, the world-building behind it, and the lore keeping it all together. They want to know how connected each project is, like whether the live-action TV show version of a character is similar to its animated origins.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 20:00:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-disney-still-hasnt-learned-how-to-handle-the-franchise/ Despite some serious performance issues, it seems that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is living up to the expectations of fans, with EA recently reporting that the game was doing quite well. In fact, it topped sales chat in some regions before Hogwarts Legacy's sales (once again) overtook it. No doubt, part of its success is the fact that it expands on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, all without weakening Cal Kestis' Jedi abilities, and builds on those successes in every way possible.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 16:19:22 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-fallen-order-greez-guns-four/ The Jedi are all but extinct by the time of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The fight was lost, and the Sith won. However, Jedi Knights like Cal Kestis refuse to allow the Empire to rest in its victory, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will give players the freedom to create their unique build, but perhaps players will want to feel as close to a Jedi Knight as possible.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 13:01:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-best-jedi-build/ Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will usually take players a while to beat the game's main story missions, especially when players wish to delve into side content that they can find in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's various planets. Overall, the game can take a lot more than a day's worth of hours to complete, but once gamers have finally taken on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's last story boss and beat the game, the New Journey + will be unlocked.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 13:01:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-ways-to-spice-up-new-game/ There is perhaps no Jedi Master quite like Obi-Wan Kenobi. As one of the most famed and popular Jedi in the Star Wars universe, it’s no surprise that some players might want to be just like him. Luckily, Star Wars fans are given a treat with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a game that provides enough freedom of play for players to create a build that will have them saying “Hello there!” in no time.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 11:01:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-obi-wan-kenobi-build/ The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. Those were the words of the iconic Sith Lord, Darth Sidious in Star Wars, and words that ring true to players of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor who might be seeking to indulge in evil and power rather than the ways of the Jedi.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 10:00:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-best-sith-build/ The Star Wars franchise is known for its epic space battles, gripping storylines, and of course, iconic characters. Some of the most popular characters in Star Wars are powerful Jedi warriors who risk their lives to protect the galaxy by harnessing the power of the Force. However, throughout the Star Wars saga, there were many Jedi who decided to turn to the dark side.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 06:30:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-turned-evil/ It's a great time to be a Star Wars fan, with new games and shows coming out in a seemingly constant stream nowadays. But not everybody feels the love, including people involved with the franchise. Bill Hader made unexpected contributions to Star Wars: The Force Awakens a few years ago. But as much as he likes the films, his feelings about the work he did aren't so cut and dry.

Lucky for them, it looks as though series creator Dave Filoni has some good news.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 21:15:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-rebels-ahsoka-series-connection-dave-filoni/ A strange Star Wars Jedi: Survivor glitch is making Cal Kestis look less like a Jedi and more like someone who just walked off the set of the latest Guardians of the Galaxy film. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor might be a smash hit, but it hasn’t been without its share of unusual bugs and glitches. EA and Respawn have addressed the worst of these technical issues through various update patches over the past few weeks, but players are still reporting hiccups as they play through the game.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 20:14:29 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-bug-gold-cal-guardians-of-the-galaxy/ A player battling a droid in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was thrown for a loop when the enemy AI seemingly gave up mid-fight. While Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has received praise for its Metroidvania exploration, thrilling combat, and captivating story, a sizable chunk of the player base has experienced debilitating glitches and game crashes that have sullied the experience. Developer Respawn has released a series of update patches to fix the game’s numerous issues.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 19:49:56 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-enemy-droid-give-up/ A new Star Wars Jedi: Survivor mod lets players utilize all five of Cal Kestis’ distinct lightsaber styles at once. The second chapter of Respawn’s epic Star Wars saga has been out for a few weeks at this point, and fans of the fabled galaxy far, far away have been diving into Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s various customization and gameplay options to craft their own version of Cal and take on the forces of darkness however they see fit.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 17:44:59 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-mod-all-lightsaber-styles-at-once/ It's clearly a matter of when, not if, Respawn expands its Star Wars Jedi franchise into a trilogy, as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's ending makes it clear the story is not over. A trilogy, however, would be the best way to wrap up Cal Kestis' story or at least save it for another medium. In theory, the game franchise could explore his entire life, but it's best to keep to a trilogy. After all, the colon placement in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor leaves it open to explore other characters or have interesting parallels, like a "Star Wars Sith" game.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 16:37:27 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-jedi-survivor-fallen-order-master-padawan-knight/ When the original Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope) introduced audiences to the galaxy far, far away in 1977, viewers were amazed by the technical marvels Industrial Light & Magic’s (ILM) model makers were able to pull off with their spaceship miniatures. When audiences are transported into the Star Wars universe, everything feels like it’s on a grand scale, from the Galactic Empire's Death Star space station to its iconic Star Destroyers.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 16:00:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/star-wars-what-is-the-biggest-star-destroyer/ There's a lot riding on Mass Effect 4. While the original Mass Effect trilogy is widely considered to still be one of the greatest RPG series ever created, there's no denying that the response to Mass Effect Andromeda has damaged the Mass Effect brand somewhat. Combine the series' pedigree with Andromeda's dismal reception, and the fact that there hasn't been a new Mass Effect game in almost six years, and Mass Effect 4 has quite the burden on its shoulders.
