Epic Games has announced another Fortnite crossover with the Star Wars universe. This time around, the company is adding Boba Fett to the battle royale island, a new offering made to promote the Disney+ streaming service. Disney plans to new Star Wars spin-off original show The Book of Boba Fett in late December.
The most monstrous Star Wars LEGO set of the season appeared this week with one massive number of pieces. The Ultimate Collector Series LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set is 6785 bricks large and fits together to be a hulking 25-inches (62cm) tall. This AT-AT comes with 9 minifigures, including 5x Snowtroopers, 2x AT-AT pilots, General Veers, and Luke Skywalker.
Star Wars fans are eagerly anticipating the premiere of another spinoff series set in the science fiction universe, one that will revolve around the character Ahsoka. The series by the same name will star Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, the Force-sensitive and Jedi-trained warrior featured in multiple Star Wars shows. Though the series isn't available yet, another key detail has been revealed.
It looks like Star Wars fans have a bunch of new reveals to look forward to in the weeks ahead. Disney has kicked off a new multi-week reveal event called "Bring Home the Bounty." The event will see Disney announcing new Star Wars products weekly until the end of the year. An entire range of products is set to be revealed, and while we don't know what most of these announcements will be, Disney has published a teaser that suggests a video game will be one of them.
Today we're taking a slightly closer look at the latest imagery released by Lucasfilm for Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. We've seen just a bit of Boba Fett at the tail end of Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2, including the new version of his ship, repainted armor, and his infamous sawed-off blaster rifle and jet pack. Now, we get to see a bit more.
Out of nowhere, it's been a surprisingly eventful month for fans of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. A couple of weeks ago, Sony revealed that Aspyr Media is working on a remake of Knights of the Old Republic for PlayStation 5 and PC. Following that announcement, we learned during the most recent Nintendo Direct that the original Knights of the Old Republic game is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Today the first season of Book of Boba Fett TV show episodes leaked with some interesting implications. While the first episode in The Book of Boba Fett will be called "The Champion", it'll also have a "Chapter" number, just like The Mandalorian. There's a suggestion here that while The Book of Boba Fett isn't just The Mandalorian Season 3, it is the next part of this Mandalorian-related string of stories.
At the beginning of this year, Disney and Lucasfilm announced the revival of the Lucasfilm Games, and with it, we saw the announcement of partnerships with a handful of companies to create new Star Wars titles. In modern times, Electronic Arts is best known as the developer and publisher of Star Wars titles, but the days of it being the exclusive license holder are over. With Disney and LucasFilm Games branching out to new companies, we're hearing rumors which claim a future Star Wars title might come from a surprising studio.
When we first see Princess Leia in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, she's disguised as a bounty hunter. It's not particularly important to the plot of the movie that we know the origin of the outfit, but Star Wars is deep! Star Wars fans (like myself) want to know everything about every character onscreen, assuming someone's taken the time to give each character a story worth knowing. In this case, it took just over a decade before anyone accepted the task.
Today we're looking at the next release in the Star Wars universe from Disney+ called Star Wars Visions. This television show will be released in standalone installments, each created by different creative forces, each with its own angle. We're looking at what details have been shared by the creators of this series so far, aiming to get a handle on where in the universe we'll be watching - and when!
Clearly, Sony does not believe in starting reveal events with small announcements and building to the big ones, because it started off today's PlayStation Showcase with a bang. The very first announcement in today's event was the reveal that the long-rumored Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake is real. This announcement has been a long time coming, as there have been countless rumors and reports claiming its existence.
New details leaked this week about the contents of The Book of Boba Fett. This is a series of episodic productions that'll appear on Disney+ very much like The Mandalorian, starting this December. The Book of Boba Fett started its run at the tail end of the last episode of Season 2 of The Mandalorian with Boba Fett and Fennec Shand blasting their way into the palace that was once run by Jabba the Hutt. This is only the beginning of the bloodshed.
