Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 Arrives 2025, Studios Announced!

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

While it seemed like a given considering the love from fans and the many nominations previous Volumes of Star Wars: Visions have received, it’s nice to see the confirmation a third volume is on its way for 2025! I suspect we’ll learn a lot more at April’s Star Wars Celebration in Japan, given Volume 3 returns the series solely to the country’s legendary anime scene, but for now we know the studios, some new and some returning, we’ll get to feast on new shorts from: Production I.G., Studio TRIGGER, Kinema citrus, Kamikaze Douga, ANIMA, David Production, Polygon Pictures, Project Studio Q, and WIT Studio. Head below for some thoughts about the returning studios and brief info on the new ones! Continue reading “Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 Arrives 2025, Studios Announced!” →

Video Game Review: Star Wars Outlaws

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

From the moment Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment announced Star Wars Outlaws, I was smitten, especially given the many starts and stops over the past near decade of similarly rogue-ish focused Star Wars games. My hype was pretty excessive by the time I sat down to play Outlaws for the very first time, and after 45 hours and two months to finish much of the game, I can safely say it lived up to my expectations more often than it didn’t.

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Just over 2 and half months since the first trailer, and a little over a month until its premiere, Lucasfilm has unleashed the synth-heavy, 80’s throwback final trailer for Skeleton Crew!

Star Wars Comics January 2025 Solicitations

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

January is usually a time of new beginnings for most people, especially as they start their attempts at New Year’s resolutions (which I believe in you, you can do it!), but for Marvel and mostly Dark Horse Star Wars comics in January 2025, it’s more about endings. On Marvel’s side, their big The Battle of Jakku maxiseries meets its climactic titular battle, Ewok adventures end, and the publisher looks back at their 10 years of comic legacy (which means I’ve been reviewing comics for 10 years now here and I’ll have to unpack that later). For Dark Horse, there’s finales to Echoes of Fear and Tales from the Occlusion Zone, while their main THRA series marches towards the era’s end, but they also bring something new: a Bad Batch miniseries! Head below to check out January 2025 Star Wars comics solicitations now!!
