Star Wars

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.

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.

We've known for a while that a new Star Wars LEGO game is inbound, but it -- as with many things last year -- ended up delayed. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was originally scheduled to hit digital shelves last year, but was soon delayed until early 2021, getting delayed yet again after that. If there's any good news, however, it's that fans finally have a new trailer to enjoy.

This week the folks at Marvel and Disney and whomever else is in charge of this sort of business made the name change official for Boba Fett's ship. Earlier this year, LEGO detailed a new set of bricks that'd make what they might've earlier called Slave-1. That was the official name for Boba Fett's ship in earlier LEGO sets, and the name of the ship almost anywhere else it was required - books, comics, and so forth. The LEGO set was called Boba Fett's Starship. Now it has a new name.

The first major Star Wars Visions trailer was released today, and it has a lightsaber umbrella. Not the sort of umbrella that's meant for blocking raindrops, but the sort that's meant to spin and deflect blaster bolts. At first, this sort of weapon might seem unnatural and absurd.

Since the dawn of Disney's acquisition of companies like Marvel and Lucasfilm, the crossover event seemed inevitable. If you have a company as powerful as Disney and you have some of the biggest IP in entertainment under your umbrella, it only makes sense that you'd consider monetizing any potential for multiversal crossover media. This week, Marvel Studios "What If...?" head writer A.C. Bradley sort of dashed any hopes we had for a TV show or movie with characters from both Marvel and Star Wars universes.

If it was not clear before, we now have just about the most solid confirmation of Supreme Leader Snoke's true identity yet delivered by Lucasfilm. The Star Wars sequel trilogy, starting with Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens, showed a leader of the First Order that was massive, decrepit, and relatively strong with The Force. His "true identity" was effectively teased as one of the biggest payoffs in the history of Star Wars - but it was not to be.

Starting prices for the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser experience with Disney have been revealed, and they are... substantial. The first "Voyage Departure" dates have been revealed, as well, starting on August 20, 2022, through September 17, 2022. It's likely Disney is only booking this first set of weeks first before moving on to make sure they have their Porgs in a row for a more expanded set of launch dates.
