The Mario Maker Challenge is Back!
Super Mario Maker 2 is here! And while we're blown away by some of the awesome community maps and levels that we've seen so far, we also wanted to get in on the action ourselves.
Just like last time, we've paired up our editors with one another, and they'll build levels for each other. Whether these are fun/cool tributes to our favorite Mario games or Machiavellian death traps built solely to destroy friendships remains to be seen, but either way, it's going to be a good time.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s Lightsaber Design Has Been Changed
Respawn Entertainment has changed the design of the lightsaber wielded by protagonist Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order after receiving feedback during E3.
Game director Stig Asmussen spoke about the design change with Game Informer. When asked about the in-game saber design, which features a solid blue hue rather than a white ‘core’ as seen in most other lightsabers, Asmussen explained that it was not Respawn’s intention to redesign the classic sci-fi sword, but was instead simply a mistake.
“We made a mistake on that one and since then we’ve fixed it,” Asmussen said. “That was very fair feedback, very fair criticism, and we’ve tweaked that. We’ve also tweaked the shape of the lightsaber blade a little bit as well, too. You can see the difference right away.”
