Destroy the Death Star from the comfort of your iPhone

by Ken Ray (Oct 24th, 2009)

Wanna blow up the Death Star? There's an app for that! At least there should be soon. StarWars.com has word of the upcoming iPhone and iPod Touch game "Star Wars: Trench Run," letting players do the cool stuff Luke Skywalker did in Episode IV (minus the whining), namely: blow up the Death Star. ...

iPhone-controlled R2D2

by Dave Caolo (May 12th, 2009)

It's impossible not to love a blog post that begins, "I found a way to remote control my R2D2 with an iPhone." The video above shows the author, ggpipe, using the iPhone's accelerometer to control R2's dome. Pretty cool. In the future, he plans to use the phone to send text to R2's logic displays. ...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed hits the App Store

by Dave Caolo (Sep 15th, 2008)

Back in July, we got our first glimpse of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for the iPhone. In the demo, the game seemed to make clever (although possibly somewhat distracting) use of the touch screen. In the end, we were eager to try it out. Today, we finally can. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is now ...

by David Chartier (Apr 24th, 2007)

A long time ago, in a squarish galaxy far, far away... Aspyr media, in an effort to save Mac users of the planet Earth from certain doom and boredom, released a Universal patch for LEGO Star Wars. That's right: it's been a while since we've had to write about an app (finally) going Universal ...

Star Wars TSG, because everyone wants to be George Lucas

by Scott McNulty (Jan 23rd, 2007)

Grubs (that's what I call Daring Fireball's John Gruber, we're cool like that) posted Star Wars TSG to his Linked List and it is a winner. And by winner I mean a small, free application that wastes far more of your time than it should, but for some reason you're not upset about all that lost time. ...

Star Wars: Clone Wars in iTunes

by Dave Caolo (May 26th, 2006)

Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series has been added to the US iTunes Music Store [iTunes link]. I haven't seen it, but as an admitted Star Wars geek I know I should. It's priced at the usual $1.99US per episode, which seems rather odd as most of them are around four minutes long. Still, season 1 is ...

Star Wars iPod Cover

by Damien Barrett (Mar 10th, 2006)

Proof that when it comes to iPod cases, there's something for everyone. An official Star Wars-themed iPod cover for only $29.95. It's not for me (I think it's ugly), but I know a few Star Wars fans who would buy this. At least you can use the clickwheel though the case (unlike another overpriced ...
