Disneyland’s new Star Wars expansion, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, will bring something adults fans have wanted for decades: booze. When the expansion opens, it will break Disneyland tradition and serve pre-mixed alcoholic drinks. A blog on Disney Theme Parks’ website first hinted at alcoholic beverages being available at one of the dinging spots within Galaxy’s Edge. Disney representatives told the Los Angeles Times that alcoholic drinks will be available for adult visitors in Oga’s Cantina. The Times called this “a significant development at the attraction because Disneyland has never sold booze to park visitors, except to members of the private Club 33, an exclusive dinner club at Disneyland’s New Orleans Square.” Alcoholic drinks are available at California Adventure Park, which is located right next to Disneyland but is a separate standalone park. People can purchase liquor through bars and restaurants located within California … [Read more...] about Adults will finally get to drink in Disneyland thanks to Star Wars

Amy Hennig‘s Star Wars project isn’t coming back, according to the legendary Uncharted developer. She recently revealed her project is on the shelf as she heads her own way. Hennig vows to remain independent, shooting down rumors of banding together with the old Uncharted team at Naughty Dog. She confirmed that not only the game was canceled, EA killed her contract with the company.

Discussing her future, Amy announced her plans of “staying independent.” At EA, a story focused Star Wars game was in development under Amy Hennig.

The iconic animated series is all set to make its come back with Season 7 of Star Wars The Clone Wars following the trailer announcement made at SDCC. Although the trailer might have sprung out as a surprise but the Star Wars fan-base was certainly thrilled to see their favorite characters like Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka and Rex back in The Clone Wars series. Star Wars The Clone Wars last appeared on screens at Netflix in 2014 for the sixth season ever since it was withdrawn from Cartoon Network in 2013. However, season 6 was not as long as the installments before besides that it also couldn’t answer enough questions about the whole plot presented by the Supervising Director, Dave Filoni. Now the upcoming season is going to feature a set of 12 new episodes to be watched online. The trailer of the seventh season seems to be picking up the narrative somewhere from the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.

When Fantasy Flight Games announced that it would be revamping the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game, fans around the world let out a nearly audible groan. But after spending a few days with the latest version, titled simply X-Wing Second Edition, I’m convinced that this is the best iteration of the classic tabletop game yet. It’s all thanks to a revamped turn structure. In X-Wing, players maneuver tiny, pre-painted starfighters across the tabletop, trying to blow each other to smithereens. The game uses curved rulers of various lengths to represent the different turns and stunts that a pilot can pull off, while stats and equipment are tracked with cards and tokens.

Advanced play was a … [Read more...] about X-Wing Second Edition is the best version of the classic miniatures game ever made

Loving something that’s also cherished by millions of people is tricky. Belonging to a community of strangers who are bonded over one thing often becomes troublesome when infighting breaks out. People quickly realize just how little control they have over the actions of others. The good news is that sometimes the rest of the community fights back, and the current situation with Star Wars is a good example of a broader, positive online trend that often doesn’t get as much coverage as the negativity. What happened? Star Wars: The Last Jedi actress Kelly Marie Tran reportedly wiped her Instagram account following ongoing harassment. It seemed to many, including The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, that fandom’s vocally toxic dark side won an irrational, unspoken battle. That’s horrible, what’s the good news? Not everyone gave up, however, and a beautiful initiative was born out of the wreckage. #FanArtForRose is a Twitter campaign to highlight Tran and … [Read more...] about Star Wars’ #FanArtForRose is a shining reminder that fandom isn’t inherently toxic
