Posted on June 22, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

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

Posted on June 12, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

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!

Posted on April 10, 2023April 10, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

I. Am. Floored. In fact, the trailer above is so visually intriguing and promising, I would’ve been fine with just that ahead of Star Wars: Vision’s Vol. 2 release on May 4.

Marvel Star Wars Comics Panel: Dark Droids Announced, Shaak Ti “Lives,” and More! (SWCE 2023)

Posted on April 10, 2023December 15, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

Having just wrapped up Qi’ra’s big return trilogy in comics, the Marvel Star Wars comics panel at Celebration Europe set its sights on the future, diving into issues coming out in the next few months and revealed the next big crossover: Dark Droids! Even before things get crazy with the crossover, there looks to be a lot to enjoy, while the Aphra series gets even weirder and intriguing with the return of Shaak Ti (?!?!) and something called Starweird, while Older writing about Max Rebo sounds fitting and I can’t wait. As for Dark Droids, let’s just say what they showed and talked about put me at ease about another crossover event. Head below for covers, previews, and more!

The Bad Batch Panel: Final Season Out 2024, Fennec Shand Returns (SWCE 2023)

Posted on April 10, 2023April 10, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

The Bad Batch panel was actually streaming on Celebration Live, so you can check out the whole thing, minus the exclusive trailer, after about like the first 5 minutes of the stream above. A lot of the panel was focused on Tech’s death, the themes of the season, the Zillo beast clone, and how beautiful the sushi looked. During it they announced a season three, though as I was guessing in my reviews, it’s also the show’s final season, coming out in 2024. The official site shared some details on the trailer only shown to fans, with Fennec Shan’s return shown, more big monsters, Palpatine on Tantiss, and even Commander Wolffe, among other things. Hopefully we’ll get to see some footage soon ourselves, but with it out in 2024, it might be awhile.
