Star Wars Legends Did The Return Of Luke’s Lightsaber Better Than Disney Canon
on October 20, 2018 at 1:04 pmVia Screenrant.com:
The classic Star Wars Legends – originally known as the Expanded Universe – handled Luke’s lost lightsaber far better than the new Disney canon. When Disney purchased Lucasfilm back in 2012, they made the decision to designate almost all of the old Expanded Universe – novels, tie-in comics, and so on – as officially non-canon. It freed the House of Mouse up to essentially relaunch the entire franchise, weaving a new continuity that they hoped would be better, simpler, and easier to follow than the old one.
Wile the stories have been abandoned, they’re not dead, and Lucasfilm has raided a number of Legends for ideas they felt worked. A Han Solo prequel, revealing just how the smuggler first met up with Chewbacca? The secret history of the Death Star, and how the plans were first stolen from the Empire? Grand Admiral Thrawn? Darth Maul vs Obi-Wan part 2? Or a future Jedi Order, betrayed when one of their own – a Solo, no less – falls to the Dark Side? All these ideas were originally part of the old Expanded Universe in some form.

The Clone Wars Voice Actors Returning for Battlefront II Content
on October 19, 2018 at 5:00 pmPosted In: News, Star Wars Games
Via Screenrant.com:
Several key voice actors from Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be returning to their roles for new Star Wars: Battlefront II content. The Star Wars: Battlefront games started in 2004 with the newest title being released in November 2017. In typical Star Wars: Battlefront fashion, the latest game allows players to play as either a villain or hero and battle in courses set across all three eras of the Star Wars movies.
Like all of the Star Wars: Battlefront games, Battlefront II gives players the option to play as the most popular Star Wars characters from the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies. The game also delivered on the promise to include a playable campaign, which introduced gamers to the new character Iden Versio- a warrior who started off fighting for the Galactic Empire but later switched sides to the Rebel Alliance. EA has provided many updates and expansions for the game, even including playable Ewoks for a limited time and Han Solo content in celebration of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Back at the beginning of June it was announced that EA would be adding Clone Wars content to Battlefront II and now, the voice talent for the characters has been revealed.
EA recently announced that four voice actors who played characters in Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be voicing their characters again for Star Wars: Battlefront II. James Arnold Taylor will be returning to voice Obi-Wan Kenobi for the Clone Wars DLC, along with his co-star Matt Lanter who previously voiced Anakin Skywalker for the Clone Wars TV show and movie. Along with these two heroes, Corey Burton and Matthew Wood will be coming back to voice Count Dooku and General Grievous respectively. The characters will become available for gamers to play within the next couple of months starting with Grievous on October 30th.

‘Star Wars’ Furniture Collection from Designer Kenneth Cobonpue
on October 18, 2018 at 5:00 pmPosted In: News
Via Esquire.com:
The Star Wars furniture of your dreams—if you’re the kind of person to daydream about home decor inspired by Luke, Chewie, and the rest of the motley crew, that is—has just been revealed. A partnership between Disney and Filipino designer Kenneth Cobonpue resulted in this striking portfolio that screams to houseguests that yes, you watch the original trilogy in full at least once a year, and yes, you are willing to defend The Phantom Menace to the death.
“At first, I said, you don’t need me for this because I don’t make replicas of machines and Star Wars fans will only buy something if there’s the face of Darth Vader on it—I don’t do that,” Cobonpue told the Philippine Star about being approached by Disney. “They said, ‘No, no, no. We want you to interpret through the lens of a Filipino designer.'”
So he drew on his childhood memories watching Star Wars in the ’70s to create a collection that doesn’t sacrifice his own style. The five pieces are below, and you can check out detail shots on Cobonpue’s Instagram page.They’re only available in the Philippines, though, so you’ll have to ogle from afar—”for now,” according to Cobonpue, who said interest outside his country is high. Patience you must have.
