Star Wars: The Force Awakens has bigger secret that the Vader reveal
There is less than a month until the most expected movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits the theaters. Fans all around the world already bought tickets ready to see the movie but still hoping to see Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in one way or another before the actual release of the movie on December 18. The director in charge with the movie, J. J. Abrams confirmed last month that he kept the secret of Jedi master’s presence on purpose. He did not say why, but this thing did not stop the fans to start different rumors and speculations about the next Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. PC Gamer had the chance to talk with Mark Hamill. He actually revealed that there is a big secret that won’t come up until the actual release of the movie.
“It’s crazy though, this NDA stuff, people don’t know. Non Disclosure Agreements, where you’re not allowed to talk about anything. I have something coming out where there’s an amount of money that if it leaks because of me, I don’t get that payment. If I keep it a secret until the day it comes out, I get that payment.”
Well Mark, if it is about money, than try not to say any kind of spoilers. However, Luke Skywalker hasn’t been seen in any footage,photos or poster and Mark Hamill’s name is on the poster that appeared last month. He also made his presence known along with the cast at Comic Con and Star Wars Celebration. He hasn’t been spotted in any footage until now, so there is no doubt he is part of the cast. He did reveal though that he is not allowed to tell people that he is in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Here it is what he had to say about all of this.
“I’m good about keeping secrets. I’m proud of the fact that I knew a year and a half before anybody else that he was actually dad-Vader. I didn’t even tell Harrison (Ford), or my wife, because I thought it would be terrible if she said ‘you know what’ to a fan and it got out, because [Empire Strikes Back director] Irvin Kershner said ‘I know something, I’m going to tell you. George (Lucas) knows, I know and now I’m gonna tell you, and if it leaks, we’ll know it’s you’, because the line originally was ‘you don’t know the truth, Obi Wan killed your father’ and he said ‘we’re going to take that line out and put in ‘I am your father.’ I thought, well first of all if Sir Alec Guinness is the real villain, that’s a pretty good twist in and of itself, but this is even better. I couldn’t believe it. I was so excited. It was a mind-boggling plot twist. Now it’s happening all over again. I’m not even authorized to tell you that I’m in Episode 7. It’s all secret.”
We can only presume that the secret Mark Hamill is trying to keep so hard is bigger than the reveal of Darth Vader as Luke’s father. But we are very good at rumors, right? One rumor says that Luke put himself into exile after Star Wars: Episode VI- Return of the Jedi because he managed to accomplish something big along The Force. Another rumor says that the new villain Kylo Ren was looking to find Luke’s original blue lightsaber, the one which got lost after Darth Vader cut off his hand in Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back .
What do you think about these rumors? Do you think they may be associated with Mark Hamill’s secret? Or it may be something even bigger? Let us know what you really think. Until then, watch this interview with Mark Hamill about Star Wars.
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
