The latest Humble Bundle of deeply discounted games for charity is one of the best yet, featuring a selection of classic Star Wars games for a pay-what-you-want donation.

Donating anything at all nets you BioWare’s classic role-playing game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, along with the 2003 action game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and the 1995 first-person shooter, Star Wars: Dark Forces.

Pay more than the average donation ($11.50 at time of this writing) and Humble throws in Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords, Star Wars Republic Commando, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Star Wars Starfighter, and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

Finally, bumping your donation up slightly higher to $12 gets you Star Wars Empire at War: Gold Pack, Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.

That is nearly every Star Wars game of note from the last 20 years, totaling up to $137 retail individually, which means for $12 you save over 91-percent. That should give you plenty of Star Wars-related gaming to fill the remainder of 2015 until Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens arrives on December 18. The return of Star Wars: Battlefront is also slated to launch around the same time.

As always, donors can choose how their money is distributed between the developers, charity (UNICEF), and the Humble tip jar. Head over to the Humble Store to pick up the Star Wars bundle, which will only be available until the end of this week.

All Jet Vault locations in Star Wars Outlaws

Kay tries to enter Crimson Dawn territory.

One of the most tantalizing distractions in Star Wars Outlaws is the Jet Kordo Holodiscs. After you find your first one and gain access to the Holotracker early on in the game, you will be teased with a hidden treasure from this legendary scoundrel that is just waiting to be looted. Unlock other treasures that you can just lockpick, Jet put a bit more thought into keeping his loot hidden from anyone unworthy of it. You will need to find six individual vaults across the galaxy before you can get the big score at the end, but it will all be worth it. If you're having trouble locating each vault, we'll put an X on your map so you can go right to them.
Jet Kordo rewards

After you've collected all the loot from the vaults and returned to Toshara, you can claim your last reward.

One small Star Wars Outlaws moment gets autism representation right

Star Wars Outlaws key art that features Kay Vess.

While playing through the first few hours of Star Wars Outlaws, I found myself once again presented with an all-too-familiar trope. ND-5, the game's primary droid crewmate to Kay Vess, appeared to be yet another autism-coded droid that is typically played for laughs or treated as "other" by the main cast.

He is introduced as a stoic and serious character who appears to have no sympathy for anything but his mission. Once he and Kay officially team up, he is given the role of the straight man. Kay will quip and make ironic or sarcastic comments that ND-5 responds to with sincerity. Whenever she asks a question, he delivers his honest answer without cushioning the blow if it would be insulting. In times when Kay wants to act based on emotion, he counters with cold logic. Generally speaking, these are all common traits those on the autism spectrum present.

Does your Duolingo app icon look sick? You’re not alone

The Duolingo app icon, showing a sick-looking version of the Duolingo owl.

It's an absolute tragedy: The normally chipper Duolingo owl has fallen ill.

Just kidding. The app icon might have changed, but it doesn't mean any significant changes are coming to the app. It did stir up quite a bit of conversation on both X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit, though, as users around the world noticed that the Duo owl looked like he needed a heavy dose of DayQuil.
