report this adDespite the loss of fans and backlash that ensued when DICE released Star Wars: Battlefront 2 with game-changing loot boxes, some fans have remained loyal to the series and were awarded with a new hero yesterday, General Grievous. The addition of Grievous marks the first of four new heroes – all from The Clone Wars television show – to join the existing 16 heroes in the fight for the galaxy, but due to some of Grievous’ dialogue phrases, fans are speculating that DICE plans to add two new female heroes from The Clone Wars as well: Ahsoka and Padme. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 players have been eagerly awaiting the release of General Grievous for many months now. With Grievous’ release yesterday, combined with the future releases of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku, and Anakin Skywalker, fans already had much to look forward to as DICE’s pre-planned, Clone Wars, post-launch DLC narrowed to a close in the coming months. However, the anticipation for … [Read more...] about Star Wars: Battlefront 2 May Add Two New Female Heroes in 2019

Poe Dameron’s Star Wars comic explains what happened after The Last Jedi
Think back to the ending of Star Wars: The Last Jedi: What’s left of the Resistance is holed up in a dilapidated hangar and the full power of the First Order is about to come knocking at their door. A despondent officer laments that, though their distress signals have been received, no one is coming to save them. But behind the scenes, there was a Resistance unit gathering the forces necessary to fight another day. That unit was Black Squadron, some of Poe Dameron’s most trusted allies. Thanks to the final issue of Star Wars: Poe Dameron, Marvel’s canon-approved spinoff comic, we now know what went wrong — and right — during that fateful mission. [Warning: The following contains spoilers for Star Wars: Poe Dameron.] Only the best and most daring group of star pilots (plus a technician and a journalist) in the whole damn Resistance fleet.

First look at Star Wars TV series, The Mandalorian
Lucasfilm revealed the first image from The Mandalorian, the live-action streaming series set in the Star Wars universe, and announced an impressive list of directors who will help bring the series to life. The Mandalorian will tell the story of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic, as previously announced by producer Jon Favreau.

Star Wars VR Series Coming From Hellblade Dev
Lucasfilm’s very own immersive entertainment division, ILMxLAB, has announced a brand new Star Wars series–one that will be released on the Oculus Quest (a new VR gaming console due out early next year). Not only that, but also it’s being worked on by Ninja Theory, the developers responsible for Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. Starring the Star Wars franchise’s iconic Darth Vader, the series is titled Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, and over the course of three episodes will allow players to get a closer, more in-depth look at the science fiction IP’s most popular villain. The trailer doesn’t show off a whole lot, but it does clarify that players won’t be taking control of Vader himself and will instead be interacting with him and his castle home on the planet Mustafar. What’s more, it’s been confirmed that the series takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and is … [Read more...] about Star Wars VR Series Coming From Hellblade Dev
Adults will finally get to drink in Disneyland thanks to Star Wars
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
