USE THE KNOWLEDGE YOU ATTAIN HERE WISELY. THE FORCE IS A POWERFUL ALLY. AND A TERRIBLE FOE. DO NOT BE SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE. FOR YOU ARE THE FUTURE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Raven Software/LucasArts/Activision) was released 23 years ago.

This is a print advertisement for the classic 2003 video game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The ad is designed to look like an official recruitment poster for Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy, inviting the reader to become a student and a "future guardian of the galaxy."

The ad highlights the game's core features: learning the powers of the Force, customizing your character and lightsaber (including the iconic double-bladed variant), and engaging in single-player missions or multiplayer battles.

Herc's Adventures (Big Ape Productions/LucasArts) was released 29 years ago. This spiritual heir to Zombies Ate My Neighbors (LucasArts, 1993) was sadly only released on PS1 and Saturn. I still hope for a port on PC 🙃 Later, Big Ape Productions worked on The Phantom Menace game.

Video game box art for "Herc's Adventures" on the PlayStation features a muscular Hercules lifting stone lettering while surrounded by various mythological heroes and monsters.

"And a lot of the DNA of [Star Wars Racer, 1999] we translated into this game, particularly the pod events, the way they do their boost mechanic, some of the sense of speed that they got from those vehicles - because that's kind of the quintessential podracing game."

"1997, Ultima Online, $2 million dollars. Star Wars Galaxies, 2003, $10-$12 million dollars. World of Warcraft, 2004, $63 million. Star Wars: The Old Republic, which embraced all of the things I said more than any other MMO? Over $200 million. So, those models, they're not working anymore."

Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies vet tells me the theme park 'assembly line' MMO just isn't viable anymore, especially as dev costs spike: 'We hit the wall'

The cover art for the video game "Star Wars Galaxies: Episode III - Rage of the Wookiees" features a close-up of a wookiee, a tall, furry Wookiee, roaring fiercely while holding a bowcaster. His mouth is wide open, revealing his teeth, and his brow is furrowed in anger. Behind him and slightly to the right, a human character with dark hair and a serious expression is also holding a weapon, partially obscured by the wookiee.
