The Acolyte, set to feature a Sith-led story, seems pretty Jedi-forward in these new shots leaked from the series’ UK filming location. Several previously-confirmed cast members can be seen in full costume along with a few unidentified newcomers, though Star Wars fans will immediately notice the classic Jedi robes worn by a few. Of course, given how the show is set in the final days of the High Republic era, it’s also entirely possible that some of these robed figures could be Sith in disguise....

Yet, long before the 1,000 years of the Galactic Republic’s hegemonic dominance in a unipolar galaxy, the emergence of a third pillar in galactic affairs challenged the supremacy of the old Sith Empire and Galactic Republic around 3600 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). An empire that had remained hidden until then exploited the hubris of the old powers, and as a result brought them to their knees. The rise and fall of the Eternal Empire of Zakuul was largely explored in Star Wars: The Old Republic....

One way to avoid this kind of disappointment could’ve been to bring back a character who was met with a negative reception and incorporate them into the grander narrative in a way that retroactively improved them. Without a doubt, the most controversial character in the Star Wars universe is Jar Jar Binks. But, if the sequel trilogy reintroduced a post-Galactic Civil War Jar Jar who had outgrown his silliness while living through large-scale conflicts that directly resulted from his own mistake (calling on the Senate to give emergency powers to Palpatine, effectively allowing the birth of the Empire), then Jar Jar might have fit right in with the sequel trilogy’s story....

EA’s initial sales estimates for Star Wars Battlefront predicted that the game would move nine million copies. After millions of gamers flocked to consoles to participate in the Battlefront beta and the last trailer for The Force Awakens raised Star Wars fever to an all-time high, EA is increasing that prediction by four million units. During the latest EA investors call, chief operating officer Peter Moore made the company’s latest prediction public…...

DICE’s announcement comes right before the release of another content update, and that one makes beloved droid companion BB-8 a playable hero in the game. The dev team has been committed to supplying its player base with free content well into 2020–which must be a relief for players, after Battlefront 2’s initial loot box controversy that the game’s launch is probably still best-known for.

Announced via the EA Star Wars page, Battlefront 2 has officially brought aboard a whopping 19 million players during its promotion with The Epic Games Store.

As seen in the Imgur album below, fans can scroll through all of the leftover conceptual assets for Star Wars Battlefront 4 from Free Radical Design, with the artwork showing that the storyline was being considered as a “what-if” scenario, in which the roles for the characters within the film series’ Episodes I through VI were flipped. For instance, instead of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu being Jedi Masters, they become Sith Lords instead, while others such as Darth Maul and Count Dooku were being designed with Jedi garb....

The two-minute trailer shows of a handful of in-game locations and epic battles between the Rebels and the Empire. Soldiers and Storm Troopers battle it out for control and victory. More importantly, though, the trailer highlights a few of the game’s well-known hero and villain characters, as they join the battle of good vs. evil. Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Emperor Palpatine all join in the action alongside Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Boba Fett....

A few large beasts and Force Guardians appear before the AT-ST, but it’s likely that this could be the first fight that gives Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order players a lot of trouble. That’s mostly because all of the offensive lightsaber abilities don’t quite reach the part of the walker that needs to take damage. Don’t worry though, the fight is actually fairly simple once players start to follow a few simple patterns....

Now a new rumor out of the Los Angeles-based studio may be giving fans cause for concern. Respawn is reportedly looking to add a new IP to its collection, to be developed alongside Apex Legends, JFO 2, and the new Medal of Honor game. But should fans of the hit Star Wars title be worried about the impact of the new IP on development? RELATED: Jedi: Fallen Order - 10 Tips To Help you Survive Grandmaster Difficulty...

The “Under the Sea Refresher” has become the latest TikTok drink order at Starbucks, but it’s left customers feeling embarrassed rather than thirst-quenched.

After a couple of quiet games and two sluggish periods, Mikael Granlund, Zach Parise and the rest of the Wild's skill-position players came to life. Granlund scored twice, Parise had a goal and an assist, and Erik Haula jump-started the Wild by scoring early in the third period in a 4-0 victory over the Blackhawks on Tuesday in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal series.

Ultimately, the reigning Stanley Cup champions fell short, as Alexander Steen scored the game-winner for the Blues just 24 seconds into the third overtime period. As both teams regroup on short notice, Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville will have to open his checkbook thanks to a hilarious-yet-gratuitous gesture he made towards the referees during the second overtime period after a delay of game call was not awarded to Chicago.
