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.

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!!

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Having just teased fans at NYCC, Charles Soule’s next Marvel comic for Star Wars has been announced: a Kylo Ren focused on-going series named Legacy of Vader. Set in the year between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, the series looks to explore the fallout of all his actions so far, something the films didn’t have as much time to digest (nor did fans due to little tie-in media). With art by the talented Luke Ross, which some preview pages were also revealed, Legacy of Vader starts February 2025 so head below now for all the details and first look.
