‘Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order’ Coming In Late 2019, Alongside ‘Episode IX’?
on December 4, 2018 at 2:00 pmPosted In: News
Via Comicbook.com:
Earlier this year, Respawn Entertainment announced its new Star Wars project that was currently in the works, under the name Jedi Fallen Order. Little details were available for the title at the time, but apparently some new info has just emerged on Reddit, suggesting that the game will release next year, alongside Disney’s Star Wars Episode IX film.
Based on the report, the game will take place in the Star Wars lexicon, approximately five years after the events that occurred in Revenge of the Sith. And it will focus on a character named Cal, who at one point was a Padawan (Jedi apprentice for you noobs out there). But following Order 66, in which the Jedi were cut down to size by the Empire, Cal has kept a low profile and managed to escape their wrath.
Also possibly included in the game is Cal’s mentor, a woman by the name of Cerses. Little is known about her at the moment, but it looks like the two of them could likely run into some familiar characters in the Star Wars universe, particularly from the comic books. The report also indicates that Inquisitors could also be included, such as the Ninth Sister and the “2nd Sister.”
Apparently this Reddit user went to a presentation by the company, and although no new gameplay details were revealed, there was some promotional artwork being put together for it.
But the real interesting thing here is the timetable, with the game having a suggested release month of November 2019. This would follow Electronic Arts’ release mantra over the past couple of years, with Star Wars: Battlefront II arriving in November 2017 and Battlefield V debuting last month. Plus, it would align with the release of Episode IX, which is reportedly coming our way in December 2019.
And this could coincide with the previous rumor that Respawn has several games in the works, all of which will be revealed by next year. Obviously Jedi Fallen Order would be of great importance, re-establishing trust between Disney and EA with the Star Wars brand after the Battlefront II loot box debacle, but don’t be surprised if another Titanfall pops up, considering the popularity of the franchise with the community. A third go-around wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

Gentle Giant Ltd Presents The Ahsoka Tano Mini Bust
on November 29, 2018 at 7:09 pmPosted In: Gentle Giant, News
Our Most Anticipated Bust of The YEAR!
You asked for her and she is here! Our Ahsoka Tano Mini Bust is now available for pre-order! Since her announcement this Summer at Comic Con, our most asked question has been “when will Ahsoka go up for pre-order?” That day is today! This limited edition Mini Bust has an edition size of 750 pieces.
Ahsoka Tano, a Togruta female, was the Padawan learner to Anakin Skywalker and a hero of the Clone Wars. Alongside Anakin, she grew from headstrong student into a mature leader. However, her destiny ultimately laid along a different path than the Jedi. From Padawan to Jedi to Commander in the Grand Army of the Republic and ultimately to her role as “Fulcrum,” the head of the intelligence network for the fragile, young Rebellion, fan favorite Ahsoka Tano has deep roots in the Star Wars saga.
The artists at Gentle Giant have pulled out all the stops in creating this realistic take on Ahsoka with white lightsabers and all of the strength and intensity of this powerful and inspiring character. This 1:6 scale Ahsoka Tano mini bust is designed, modeled and prototyped using top of the line 3D technology so that no detail is missed. Whether you own 100+ of our mini busts or if this is your first one, Ahsoka Tono is sure to become a centerpiece of your collection. Each collectible mini bust is hand-cast, hand-painted and hand-numbered with a limited edition certificate of authenticity.

Of all the members of the Star Wars sequel trilogy cast, Adam Driver is arguably the least public of them all, with virtually no social media presence where he could inadvertently reveal spoilers. That aversion to revealing hints about Star Wars: Episode IX includes when he’s directly asked by journalists about the upcoming film.
While attending the Gotham Independent Film Awards, Driver was asked about the upcoming film and, before the reporter could finish her question, Driver chuckled while walking away, saying, “I’m not touching that one.”
Other members of the Star Wars cast have found more diplomatic ways to answer questions that they knew could be analyzed to concoct numerous theories about the saga, though Driver regularly avoids offering any insight into new films before their release. This recent encounter with the press resembles comments he made about Episode IX earlier this month.
“That’s hard to say because we’re working toward something in particular with that character,” Driver shared with Vulture when asked about what excites him about playing Kylo Ren. “I don’t want to give anything away.”

LUCASFILM EXECUTIVE JAMES WAUGH TELLS STARWARS.COM ABOUT THE SERIES OF ANIMATED SHORTS AND HOW THEY INTRODUCE CLASSIC CHARACTERS AND TIMELESS THEMES TO NEW FANS.
Adventure awaits you and the younglings in your life in Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures, a new series of animated shorts that will introduce the classic themes, pivotal moments, and iconic characters from the Star Wars saga to the next generation.
Debuting on the all-new StarWarsKids.com and the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel on November 30, the first six shorts combine original dialogue, music, and sound effects with bold new animations, and fun and educational add-ons designed to help older fans, parents, and other mentors to welcome the kids in their lives to explore the galaxy far, far away. Additional shorts featuring fan-favorite characters will debut in December, with regular releases following in 2019.
“With Galaxy of Adventures, we wanted to craft something that allowed parents to help their kids take their first step into a much larger world whether they were ready to show their kids the films or wanted to find new ways to explore the content,” James Waugh, Lucasfilm’s vice president for franchise content and strategy, tells StarWars.com.
The dynamic animated adventures are only part of a multi-pronged initiative under the Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures banner, and the beginning of a year-long celebration of Star Wars storytelling, which will culminate with the final chapter in the Skywalker saga — Star Wars: Episode IX — in theaters December 2019.

A new Star Wars book tells the story of the galaxy’s most notorious rogue from multiple dimensions.
Star Wars Icons: Han Solo explores the character’s origin, his history in the galactic civil war and beyond, and the behind-the-scenes stories from multiple eras and two different actors who brought the captain of the Millennium Falcon to life.
Written by former EW editor Gina McIntyre, the book is on sale now from Sideshow Collectibles.
“It is a complete biography of the character, from the early drafts of George Lucas’ first scripts all the way up through [Solo: A Star Wars Story,] and beyond the character’s legacy in popular culture,” McIntyre says. She also explores “his appearances in the Star Wars novels, and comic books. It’s pretty comprehensive.”
The stories are accompanied by concept art illustrations, classic photos, and imagery of virtually every iteration of the character, from action figures to video games. McIntyre conducted original interviews not just with Harrison Ford and Alden Ehrenreich, but also J.J. Abrams, Ron Howard, Lawrence Kasdan, Jonathan Kasdan, Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Billy Dee Williams, Peter Mayhew, and dozens of others.
Below is an excerpt from the chapter “Scruffy Looking Nerf Herder” which covers the filming of The Empire Strikes Back. In it, Ford shares the untold story of his ill-fated journey to Finse, Norway to film the Hoth scenes.

STARWARS.COM EXAMINES FIVE CHARACTERS WHO SACRIFICED LIFE AND LIMB TO BE REBUILT AS PART MAN (OR ALIEN), PART MACHINE.
Flesh-and-blood intermingles with machine to allow these badly injured warriors to fight another day, yet irrevocably alters the core of their characters. In prolonging basic life-support, the organic creature deep within the metal exoskeleton becomes barely recognizable, assisting autonomic function in a body that is too far gone to exist otherwise.
Beginning with the mysterious helmeted figure of Darth Vader, himself more machine than man, and continuing to the more recent resurrection of Maul, no longer a Sith yet building a new life through the aid of myriad metalized parts, cyborgs have struggled to maintain their identity, while reflecting the greater hostilities surrounding them. Each one forces us to consider – when the natural world is fused with unnatural elements, how much of the character’s essence truly remains?

OBI-WAN KENOBI IS COMING TO STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II ON NOVEMBER 28
on November 26, 2018 at 12:44 pmPosted In: News
Via Ea.com:
Today, we’re focusing on the cherished Jedi Master, but if you want an early look of Geonosis as well, we recommend reading up on our fresh interview with DICE’s Senior Level Designer Peter Vesti Frendrup.
How will Obi-Wan Kenobi play in Star Wars Battlefront II? What are his Abilities? What different Appearances will he slip into? We’re serving the essentials to you below – and make sure to dive in and read the latest Community Transmission to learn even more.
The Legacy of Obi-Wan Kenobi Brought to Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II
The legacy of the fabled Jedi Master transcends eras. He was a member of the Jedi Council, a general for the Galactic Republic, and later, after spending years in exile, mentor to Luke Skywalker.
Of course, Luke wasn’t the first Skywalker taken under Kenobi’s wings, as Obi-Wan trained and fought alongside his father Anakin Skywalker (coming to the game this February) during the Clone Wars. And it’s primarily this chapter of his life that’s inspired Obi-Wan’s representation in Star Wars Battlefront II.
A master of defensive lightsaber combat and usage of the Force, he was also a constant thorn in General Grievous’ side. The Clone Wars animated series veterans Matthew Wood (Grievous) and James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan) are voicing the arch-nemeses, accentuating the history between the two. Make sure to read our interview with both to learn more.
And, as previously covered in our walk-through of how we’re bringing the heroes and villains of Star Wars to life, we’re aiming for the likenesses of their real-life actors. As such, we’ve modelled Obi-Wan Kenobi after Ewan McGregor’s portrayal in Star Wars™: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith™.
Catering to these known traits and characteristics, we hope that players will feel right at home playing as the Jedi Master in Star Wars Battlefront II.
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Abilities in Star Wars Battlefront II
Now, even though our hero isn’t arriving until November 28, knowledge is power. So, use the intel below to prepare your mind and strategy.
Wielding his trademark lightsaber beaming with blue, and reflecting his mastery of defensive combat, Obi-Wan’s blocking skills are superior to any other Jedi in the game. His stamina and near perfect defense are joined by powerful, chained melee attacks.
