Jorgensen reminded listeners on the call that 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront shipped 14 million units between its release and the end of that fiscal year, which ended in March 2016. Electronic Arts expects to ship “essentially the same number” of Star Wars Battlefront 2 copies in that same time frame.

There’s a tradition at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, the unambiguously-intended event paying homage to everything from a long time ago to the near future in a galaxy far, far away. It involves an art show that exhibits Star Wars pieces from creators far and wide, with an impressive variety of styles only limited by the artists’ imaginations. Naturally, as art shows go, part of the idea is to sell prints to fans who want a little more pizzazz in their domiciles....

This all helped pave the way for the explosion that was the arrival of Star Wars: Episode 1—The Phantom Menace.

It isn’t all about good writing, but as with every good piece of entertainment, it starts there. And yet it’s hard to sustain the argument that Star Wars movies haven’t had good writers, or good directors. The sequel trilogy suffered from a lack of coherent storytelling, more than anything. Solo: A Star Wars Story and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story had many production issues and are the patchwork result of more than one vision....

After The Phantom Menace introduced Star Wars fans to the sprawling worldwide metropolis of Coruscant, the rest of the prequel trilogy spent a lot of time on the planet.

There’s a glimpse of that underworld in Attack of the Clones when Anakin and Obi-Wan chase Zam Wesell through the sky streets to a shady bar full of deathstick dealers....

And it’s not just bloggers who are utilizing things like puck possession, zone entries and an understanding of percentages to digest the on-ice product.
