The Star Wars franchise has consistently released games for decades. While many games feature characters from the films, some of the most popular adventures tell brand new stories with unique characters. From incredibly powerful Jedi to funny droids and clone troopers, here are the Star Wars characters who have become memorable in the world of video games.

With the release of Forza Horizon 6 getting closer, the developers at Playground Games have been revealing more and more about the game. They recently previewed Horizon Play, the multiplayer mode, promising a mix of classic and fresh experiences. Now, they’ve announced that the game is finished with development and shared details about the in-game music and new rewards players can earn.

Like many action-adventure stories, a popular pairing in Black Clover was between the main character, Asta, and the female lead, Noelle. Fans had hoped to see them become a couple by the end of the series, similar to other confirmed relationships in the manga’s 392nd chapter, which was released on Manga Plus on May 1, 2026. However, the author, Tabata, has unexpectedly downplayed their romantic connection, revealing that they aren’t a couple despite years of hints. Despite this setback, some fans still believe there’s a chance for Asta and Noelle to get together in the future.

Darth Vader truly shines in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977-1983), with many of his most memorable moments – from clever schemes to iconic lines and lightsaber duels – happening there. He’s also made appearances in more recent films like Rogue One (2016) and the end of Revenge of the Sith (2005), meaning fans can enjoy his character across multiple eras.

You’ll play Arjun Devraj, a tough enforcer portrayed by Rahul Kohli. Arjun is determined to find his former love, Nitya Chandran, who has unexpectedly ended up on the same planet – and revealing why would spoil the story.

Summer Game Fest 2026 is scheduled to be broadcast live on June 5th, but the specific game announcements are kept secret until the event. Last year’s Summer Game Fest included a big reveal: the first trailer for Resident Evil Requiem. Fans are currently anticipating the release of the Resident Evil Requiem DLC in May, but many also expect an even bigger announcement at Summer Game Fest 2026, possibly a confirmation of another Resident Evil remake.

As a huge Star Wars fan, the Jedi have always been the heart of everything, right? Even when the stories moved away from Luke Skywalker, they always circled back to the Force and that familiar, epic mythology of the Skywalker family. Honestly, what Lucasfilm is doing now doesn’t feel like they’re throwing all that away. It just feels like they’ve lost a little bit of passion for it. And you know what? I don’t think the galaxy feels smaller without the Jedi being the central focus. It actually feels… more open, like anything can happen, which is pretty exciting!

Nintendo continued to be a major player in the video game industry throughout the mid-to-late 2000s. Although the GameCube had some weaknesses, the release of the DS in 2004 and the Wii in 2006 revitalized the company. The DS popularized touchscreen gaming for Nintendo, and the Wii’s motion controls quickly became a key feature. This technology helped games like Wii Sports and Super Mario Galaxy become huge successes on the Wii.
