STAR WARS: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME – 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
on August 20, 2017 at 11:30 amPosted In: Star Wars Games
Via Nerdist.com:
After the release of Return of the Jedi in 1983, the fate of the Star Wars universe wasn’t certain. Sure, there were Ewok live-action films and some so-so cartoons, but not much else was happening (aside from making stories during playtime with Kenner’s action figures and play sets). That changed with the release of West End Games’ Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game in 1987. The game book and source book opened new doors and allowed fans to join the galaxy far, far away in an immersive way that involved rolling a whole lot of D6s.
The Roleplaying Game evolved and expanded from 1987 until the late ’90s; it was a gateway RPG for a whole squadron of fans. It’s coming back for a special 30th anniversary edition!

MAKING ACTION-FIGURE ART WITH A CAMERA, SOME TOYS, AND LOTS OF FLOUR.
Most Impressive Fans is a feature highlighting the amazing creativity of Star Wars devotees, from cosplay to props. If there’s a fearless and inventive fan out there, we’ll highlight them here.
While some collectors labor over whether or not to remove an action figure from its pristine packaging, the approach of Johnny Wu — a.k.a. @sgtbananas on Instagram — is decidedly more Tarkin-esque.

Fantasy Flight is adding to its already impressive Star Wars lineup with a brand new game called Star Wars: Legion and fans now have their first look.
Star Wars: Legion is a two player miniatures game that puts the emphasis on strategy and army management skills. As either the Empire or the Rebellion, you’ll maneuver, flank, and attack over six rounds as you claim objectives, and how you build out your army will heavily affect your chances at totaling the most points.
“Star Wars: Legion is the culmination of a lot of effort and aspirations,” said Andrew Navaro, the Fantasy Flight Games Head of Studio. “We’ve wanted to do a ground-based miniatures game set in the Star Wars universe for a long time—to allow players to command multiple squads of Stormtroopers or Rebel Commandos and fight the many unheralded battles of the Galactic Civil War. This game gives players the chance to do that, and it opens the door for them to engage with the hobby aspect of a miniatures game by encouraging them to paint and customize their miniatures.”
As Navaro mentions, you won’t just be controlling individuals in Legion, but squads of units all at once. That said, Fantasy Flight wants the game to be new-player-friendly and has developed a few systems for the game in that vein.

Prince Harry and Prince William May Have Cameos in The Last Jedi
on August 19, 2017 at 11:30 amPosted In: News
Via Vogue.com:
Are Prince William and Prince Harry headed to a galaxy far, far away? According to actor John Boyega, the two British royals may be making cameos in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
“I’ve had enough with those secrets,” he told BBC Radio 4, when asked about the rumors. “They came on set. They were there. I’m sick of hiding it. I think it was leaked, anyway.”
Lest you think this will be one of those Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones situations that plops the cameoed celebrity front and center (but seriously, did Arya kill him or not?), William and Harry’s screen time will be much more discreet. Reports say that they will be two of many Stormtroopers—the Galactic Empire soldiers in full white body armor—on a secret base.
It’s the ultimate prince perk. Both royals are Star Wars fans: Prince William has admitted he’s a “total geek” about the franchise, and William and Harry engaged in a lively lightsaber duel on the set in April of last year.
Star Wars has quite the history of hiding famous faces under Stormtrooper masks. Daniel Craig was in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and allegedly, Tom Hardy will also make an appearance in white.
But before royal obsessives mark December 15 on their calendars, Boyega had some distressing news: The Force might not have been with Prince Harry and Prince William for long.
“I think they took that scene out,” he said, possibly as a joke.

With Disney’s untitled Han Solo “Star Wars” standalone film approaching the finish line, Disney is now looking to tell the story of another iconic character in a galaxy far, far away.
Sources tell Variety that Disney is in early development on a film centered on Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and is in talks with “Billy Elliot’s” Stephen Daldry to direct.
The character appeared in the first six “Star Wars” films, first played by Alec Guinness in Episodes 4-6 and then by Ewan McGregor in Episodes 1-3. Kenobi is best known as the Jedi master who first trained Anakin Skywalker, who would later turn to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Kenobi would then go on to train Skywalker’s son Luke before falling to Vader in “Star Wars: A New Hope.”
There is not yet a script or a writer, sources say, and it’s currently unknown if this will be the next standalone story in the “Star Wars” universe.
Disney has been developing several standalone pics with the goal of keeping fans buying tickets while they wait for the next episodes in the main new trilogy. “Rogue One” was the first of the standalones, and Disney is currently shooting an untitled origin tale of beloved smuggler Han Solo. Some of the other standalones in development include a Jabba the Hutt story and a Boba Fett movie.
