SDCC 2023: Star Wars Outlaws Panel
With the gameplay video living rent free in my head every minute of every day, suffice to say Star Wars Outlaws is one of my most anticipated video games and Star Wars pieces of media. An open-world game where you mix it up with the criminal underworld as fresh but determined Kay Vess, alongside her cute little friend Nix? If the final game is even an ounce like its opening video, we’re in for a treat. At SDCC 2023, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment had a panel about the upcoming release, sharing details like the new criminal syndicate made for the game or there may be cooking, while also showing off the video above, where we see atmospheric video of the new planet Toshara and Kay voice actress Humberly Gonzalez filming mo-cap. Head below for all extra nuggets gleaned from the panel! Continue reading “SDCC 2023: Star Wars Outlaws Panel”
SDCC ’23 Publishing Panel: The High Republic Phase III Covers, Dark Droids Glimpses, and More!
This year’s Lucasfilm Publishing Panel at SDCC had some little tastes of other publications on their way or recently released, but a big focus was the upcoming third and final Phase of The High Republic, revealing new covers full of theory-inducing images fans will be ruminating over until it begins in the fall. Head below for all the new covers and additional images from upcoming works like the Dark Droids Marvel comics crossover and Rebellion focused visual guide!

Star Wars Comics October 2023 Solicitations
At this age in my life, I don’t really expect a ton of gifts in my birthday month, instead looking forward to spending time with friends and family. While I don’t expect gifts, I always hope Star Wars comics will have some for me and October 2023 certainly does, as well as what are totally not gifts and are leaving me shaking in my Manor best robes. On the gift side, there’s some big droid showdowns in Artoo’s quest to save Threepio, The High Republic returns with what looks to be a impactful issue, Doctor Aphra and Magna Tolvan get back together….only for Magna to become a Scourge-infect gremlin?! And there’s going to be more Lando and Lobot drama that I’m sure my heart can handle anymore? The solicitations for October 2023 Star Wars comics certainly are going to keep my birthday month interesting! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics October 2023 Solicitations”
Final Ahsoka Trailer, Two-Episode Premiere August 23
This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, this show wouldn’t exist. Consider supporting the strikes here.
When Ahsoka hits Disney+ on August 23, it’ll come with a two-episode premiere, all the better to maybe explain why Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) calls Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) “Master” and the two have such an icy relationship!!? The latest trailer is packed with new footage, including: a HD look at the face of Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen); beautiful shots of Lothal in live-action; Sabine’s Loth-cat decaled helmet; a canon E-Wing (!!!); the New Republic Fleet; what looks close to a Star Map from Knights of the Old Republic (seen in a place kind of like Malachor); lots more of Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) whose son Jacen’s live-action look was revealed by a LEGO set leak; Ezra Bridger’s (Eman Esfandi) little hologram speaks!; more of former Jedi Baylon Skoll (Ray Stevenson, Rest in Peace) and Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno), twisting Ahsoka’s famous “I am no Jedi” line; lots of Anakin Skywalker being mentioned, potentially hinting at rumors being true his Ghost or a flashback might be in the show; and that aforementioned and very intriguing icy history between Sabine and Ahsoka. I have doubts Sabine is Force-sensitive, wouldn’t be terribly mad about it if she is though, but interested to learn about the training between the two regardless, especially as Shin Hati tells Sabine she has no power. Head below for a whole bunch of screenshots from the trailer, as well as the little sizzle reel about Ahsoka and Dawson released a day before, along with a disclaimer about the actress.

High Republic Show: Burryaga Lives, The Eye of Darkness Cover Revealed
After much hype and circumstance, the latest The High Republic Show finally arrives with the promise of revealing Burryaga’s fate. It was a foregone conclusion they wouldn’t center a big hype train on revealing his fate only for him to be dead, but it was still very reassuring when host Krystina Arielle brought the good word: Burry Lives!! We’ll find out how in Tales of Light and Life (out September 5, available at SDCC early, and ebook releasing July 25), likely via Charles Soule’s story called “All Jedi Walk Their Own Path,” which we already knew would center on Bell Zettifar’s tireless search for his friend. Beyond the good news, we got a reveal of the cover for The Eye of Darkness, George Mann’s opening novel to Phase III, as well as a promise of at least one reveal at the SDCC Lucasfilm Publishing Panel on July 21! This was a short one, a little disappointingly so, but it’s awesome to have Arielle and the Show back. Head below for The Eye of Darkness’ cover!

Star Wars Comics September 2023 Solicitations
Star Wars comics’ September 2023 is going to be quite an interesting month, because if you’re not that interested in another crossover from Marvel, your only other options are adaptations of TV shows, including a newly announced one for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Dark Horse offers what is sure to be some good frights, as well as the return of Quinlan Vos to comics, so exploring their output will give you a little more variety, otherwise saddle up for Dark Droids, the unexpected reformation of D-Squad, tons of Scourged droids, more Lando and Lobot drama, and…General Grievous?! Head below to see what’s all in store for September 2023 Star Wars comics! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics September 2023 Solicitations”
Star Wars Villainous: Scum and Villainy Expansion Revealed
While it was already announced and we knew the standalone (meaning it can be played on its own or with the base game) expansion to Star Wars Villainous: Power of the Dark Side would star famous bounty hunter Boba Fett, Star Wars Villainous: Scum and Villainy’s other characters and mover pieces hadn’t been revealed. With the expansion going up for pre-order today, set to release July 30, we officially learned Cad Bane and the Seventh Sister would be joining Fett!

Star Wars: Outlaws Announced, Set for 2024 Release
First announced in January of 2021, Massive Entertainment’s upcoming open-world Star Wars game was officially revealed as Star Wars: Outlaws at Xbox Games Showcase 2023 with a slick CGI cinematic trailer (seen below). I’ve always enjoyed these, and often got very hyped by them back in the day, but I’ve since cooled on them and always wait for gameplay before getting too excited for a game. We didn’t have too wait long from the first trailer thankfully, as the Ubisoft Forward 2023 showcase delivered our first glimpse of scoundrel Kay Vess and (the cutest) Nix in action for Outlaws and it looks absolutely incredible, combing Grand Theft Auto and No Man’s Sky and putting it into a Star Wars game. It’s like something out of a dream, as I’ve been hoping for something like this for a long time and my hype for its release is through the atmosphere. You can see the full gameplay walkthrough above, as it’d be rude to hide it below the cut, but there some additional details below!
