Here’s What’s Happening On Star Wars Day 2022

Starting off our list is MegaDev, the creators of a game customization and training software called PLITCH, is offering free customization to four Star Wars games with Star Wars day. These four games are, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, the latter of which released in 2019. All four of these games are enhanced with the PLITCH software in some way, specifically for Knights of the Old Republic, which comes with a Credits Boost and extra skill points when players activate it with the PLITCH code. The other three games are enhanced in some way too, so play them and find out!

We have LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga again but this time it’s about the game specifically as the game’s developers are celebrating May the 4th with the launch of two new DLC packs for The Skywalker saga. These packs are for The Mandalorian Season 2 and Star Wars: The Bad Batch and will include characters such as Ashoka Tano, Boba Fett, Bo Katan, Moff Gideon, as well as Tech and Wrecker from The Bad Batch series on Disney+. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga launched on April 5 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game set the record for the biggest LEGO game launch ever.

Keeping the fun times rolling but this time with the power of your voice, Amazon is getting in on the fun with its Alexa home assistant in the form of new voice commands and a new row on Fire TV dedicated to Star Wars content that, “Every fan” will love. Some of these voice commands include “Alexa, begin my Jedi Lessons” which will activate nine different Jedi lessons that are all easy to do from home, and “Alexa, use the force” which, from now and until the end of the month, padawans and Jedi Masters alike can check in with Alexa for some fun interactions.

On a slightly more mature note, Elden Ring, the critically acclaimed open world adventure that takes inspiration from the developer, FromSoftware’s Dark Souls series, is getting in on the action with, Star Wars mods. These include a fight with the Death Star’s big monster, and PC players, can now play as Darth Vader with his signature red lightsaber, thanks to modders drs32 and Xelerate. Sadly the mods won’t work on access, so PC will be the only ones given access to Darth Maul who will be added at a later date.

Now, this is where the fun begins. Ever since the famous highground scene in Revenge Of The Sith, fans have wondered what Obi Wan had been doing in between the events of the prequel and A New Hope. Thankfully, The official trailer for the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series on Disney+ is here along with a release date of May 27. It’s been a not so well-kept secret that Hayden Christensen is reprising his role of Anakin Skywalker alongside Ewan McGregor as the padawan’s master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin of course turns to the dark side, but what remains to be seen is how much the two Jedi will interact, and while we still don’t know much about that, at least we won’t have to wait long!

Who said Stormtroopers have bad aim? The Stormtrooper Wireless Controller and Quick Charging Stand will help negate those claims allowing players to have precise aim and quick reflexes for $199.99. These products join Razer’s lineup of Star Wars-branded controllers including the Mandalorian and Boba Fett, use these to your advantage to battle your foes from across the galaxy.

Bioware, the developers of Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Inquisition, has posted another Community Update, this time it’s Star Wars: The Old Republic getting in on today’s festivities. Logging in during the event will grant players a new droid minipet, a 50%-off collection sale at the Cartel Market and double XP for all activities in the game, but the bonuses will only be available until 8 am ET on May 10. The blog post also has a Q&A session with the development team and highlights the next round of Community Spotlight which will be spent highlighting some of the best art created by the game’s community.
