Those gamers familiar with the more recent Star Wars titles will recognize Nar Shaddaa, as the seedy cityscape has already played a role in both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Now, SWTOR will again take players to the nexus of the Hutt Cartel’s power. The Smugglers’ Moon’s vile history is forged upon the back of the Hutt Cartel’s criminal syndicate. With the Galactic Republic abandoning the moon due to shifting trading routes, Nar Shaddaa operates with very little outside influence and even less law enforcement....

During last week’s big holiday, a new ad for EA and Respawn Entertainment’s return to the glory days of single-player story-based Star Wars games aired on TV. And for the first half of the 30-second ad, it seems like a harmless enough commercial, showing off non-specific pieces of action designed to entice Star Wars fans and get them thinking about getting Fallen Order at a Black Friday discount.

One thing that seems clear, though, is that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is heading down a darker road. The overall tone is much more sinister, as the Empire’s grip on the galaxy grows stronger. This will no doubt pair well with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Soulslike elements, but there’s at least one area where the new game should push their inclusion further. Specifically, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor should adopt more interesting bosses than the first game....

During an earnings call on Tuesday, the coffee brand Starbucks’ chief operating officer Rosalind Brewer told participants that the company would introduce additional plant-based options to its menu. Starbucks’ aim is to become more environmentally friendly and declined to comment on who would supply the new plant-based patty, according to Reuters. Other companies such as Denny’s and Dunkin’ Donuts have used Beyond Meat’s plant-based “meat” for their food. Starbucks has previously released plant-based menu items though these have been discontinued....

The victim attempted to raise his arms to defend himself from the attacker, who then fled the scene. Auburn Police Det....

The Protoss are super cool and we think that you, even if you aren’t the biggest fan of the franchise, should know a little bit more about them.

It’s not easy, as it requires learning a whole new language; furthermore, it doesn’t net the same benefits as friendships with other villagers do. Still, it’s a fun aspect to the game, and provides a touch of the fantastical to the player’s story. Meeting The Dwarf In the mines, to the right of the entrance to the first floor, players will see a large boulder....

RELATED: Stardew Valley: Challenge Runs For Veteran Players However, sometimes farmers in Stardew Valley need something a little extra to get them ahead of the game. That’s where the Traveling Cart comes in. Selling a whole host of items, this somewhat mysterious shop sells a random selection of items at slightly inflated prices. The trade-off for this price hike is the ability to get unique items or items that are currently out of season....

“Broken Pieces” opens in 2385—fourteen years before Picard’s 2399 setting—on a mysterious planet named Aia, “The Grief World,” where the half-Vulcan, half-Romulan Starfleet infiltrator Commodore Oh (Tamlyn Tomita) leads Zhat Vash recruits through a ritual called “The Admonition.” The Admonition involves connecting to a “storehouse of preserved memories,” discovered by the foremothers of the Zhat Vash, which forces on new recruits the revelation of “the grim fate of the civilization that perished here long ago....

Commissioner Gary Bettman last month announced the steps the league and the NHL Players’ Association agreed upon to move forward, including the official ending of the 2019-20 season, a 24-team return-to-play format and how the draft lottery will look. Translation? There’s still a lot to be ironed out — and, it needs to be noted, nothing is guaranteed due to the COVID-19 pandemic — but one thing appears to be more and more likely: a 2020 Stanley Cup champion will be crowned....

One would assume that Star Citizen is experiencing development hell, but that would imply this hasn’t been the project’s chosen direction under Cloud Imperium Games and its director Chris Roberts. In fact, one could more truthfully claim that Star Citizen is undergoing development heaven, as the project’s lofty aspirations continue to skyrocket into the clouds. Star Citizen’s vision has only widened over the years, as the project remains in a state of open Alpha for its backers – posing as the most expensive tech demo ever made, rather than a fully-realized game....

During Nintendo Direct, Miyamoto introduced the game himself. Star Fox Guard is actually the finished game of a concept/tech demo Miyamoto showed at E3 two years ago called ‘Project Guard.’ It looks like development continued on ‘Project Guard’ over the years and at some point it became a Star Fox game. The game appears to be a type of Tower Defense game and, as Miyamoto explained, centers around Star Fox character Slippy Toad and his (newly introduced) uncle Grippy:...

When Gene Roddenberry first proposed the idea for Star Trek back in the late 60s, his heart was set on creating something different that could tackle cultural problems through futuristic storytelling. He wanted to create a future where kindness and acceptance were key, full of optimism of a united future. As such, many episodes in the original Star Trek series focused on contemporary problems, such as racism and prejudice, which can make for accidental (as it is strongly considered to be accidentally rather than purposeful) discrimination....
