When the original Battlefront I and II released in the early ‘00’s, while I was playing many video games at that time as I transitioned from grade school to high school, these Star Wars gaming classics consumed much of my time. I tried revisiting Battlefront II on PC (I played them on PlayStation back in the day), ahead of Battlefront II’s (2017) release, and it didn’t quite click like it used to, but it might’ve been more me than how the game had aged. Regardless, they have a special spot in my heart and the announcement of the Battlefront Classic Collection has me excited to try them again when they launch on March 15, with tons of extra content and the multiplayer servers open and ready for battle again. I might not have as much time as I did in 2004/5 to play these now, but if you’re on PlayStation, I’m a trusty fighter to have by your side so make sure to friend me: BrushYourTeeth. Head below for more details and a few screenshots of the updated action! Continue reading “Gaming News: Battlefront Classic Collection Arrives March 15!”

High Republic News: Temptation of the Force Cover & Blurb Revealed
After artist Grant Griffin’s moody Phase III opening cover for The Eye of Darkness, he returns with a moody in whole different way cover for the second and penultimate adult novel of the Phase: June 11’s Temptation of the Force! Dropping this cover, which sees Elzar Mann and Avar Kriss sharing a rather intimate look now they’ve been reunited, as well as the blurb, which only doubles down on their growing feelings, on Valentine’s Day was a wonderfully calculated move; we see what you’re doing! Head below for the full angsty cover and to hear some teases of what’s to come in June with Tessa Gratton’s Temptation of the Force!

Comic News: Darth Maul Stars in Latest Black, White & Red Miniseries, Out April 2024
Darth Vader certainly brought the chills in his, and Star Wars’ first, Black, White & Red miniseries, though considering how much Vader content we’ve had, it didn’t quite hit as hard. Now Darth Maul enters the ring for his own Black, White & Red miniseries and, given his spooky and bloody publishing history plus his iconic, devilish look, I do believe he’ll make even more of a splash in this format. Out April 25, 2024, the four-issue series will have a different creative team for each entry, with first featuring Benjamin Percy and Stefano Raffaele. Check out a few more details, as well as some wicked cool covers, for the first issue below, otherwise visit the Manor for our reviews starting April!

The Bad Batch’s Final Season Begins February 21, New Trailer Reveals Surprising Return
The Bad Batch’s third and final season is something we’ve known was coming for quite some time now, but today’s announcement finally reveals when: February 21 is the beginning of the end for the series, kicking off with a three-episode premiere! We now also have a trailer for the third season, including lots of familiar faces, like the absolute shocker of a reveal in its final moments! Head below for more on the big reveal, release schedule, and more! Continue reading “The Bad Batch’s Final Season Begins February 21, New Trailer Reveals Surprising Return”
The Mandalorian & Grogu Film Announced, Season 2 of Ahsoka Confirmed
After the way things ended in The Mandalorian season three, a disappointingly easy and far too quick conclusion to the series’ story so far, Jan Favreau and the story get to fail upwards in the first new Star Wars film to go into production, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Is it the start of a series of films? Is it bringing Din Djarin and Grogu’s story to an end? Or just picking it up until Dave Filoni’s film wraps up all the Mando-verse shows story? Will Pedro Pascal be more than the voice of Din for the film at least? Why couldn’t it just be another, shorter season of the show instead? And…is that really the title? Hopefully we’ll learn more soon since it’s set to be in production later this year. Also stealthily announced was a second season of Ahsoka, which was all but certain given how it all ended, but never confirmed until now. The Mandalorian & Grogu joins the upcoming slate of films which includes Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Rey/New Jedi Order (my most anticipated!), James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi, and the aforementioned Dave Filoni one.
Check back to the Manor as we learn more!
