Amy Hennig’s mysterious Star Wars game is still alive. That alone is enough to make long-suffering Star Wars gaming fans sit up slightly straighter. The project was first announced back in 2022 as a collaboration between Skydance New Media and Lucasfilm Games, with Hennig attached to develop a narrative-driven action-adventure game set in the Star Wars galaxy. Since then, actual details have been painfully scarce. Now there is finally a status update, even if it is not the trailer-drop many fans were hoping for. Paramount Skydance is launching Paramount Games Studio, a new unified games division that brings Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media together under one banner. As part of that move, Amy Hennig will serve as Creative Director of the new studio. More importantly for Star Wars fans, current reporting says Hennig’s Star Wars project is still in development. The Ghost of Ragtag Still Haunts the Conversation There…
Star Wars Zero Company Pre-Orders Are Live, and the PC Specs Are Surprisingly Clear
Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just showing gameplay and waving from the future. It is now up for pre-order, the editions are detailed, and PC players finally have some specs to stare at while pretending they were definitely not going to upgrade anyway. EA’s official Star Wars Zero Company pre-order article confirms that pre-orders are live across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox ahead of the game’s August 27 release. The good news? This does not look like another “please sell your landspeeder” pricing situation. Standard and Deluxe Editions Explained Pre-ordering either edition gives players the Crystalline Astromech Cosmetic Pack, which includes the R3 droid, crystalline astromech heads for R4 and R5 variants, and the new BR-1 droid debuting in Zero Company. The Standard Edition keeps things simple: base game plus the pre-order bonus. The Deluxe Edition adds several cosmetic packs inspired by the Clone Wars era. That includes the…
Star Wars: Galactic Racer Story Trailer Brings Sebulba Back to the Track
Star Wars: Galactic Racer just got a new story trailer, and yes, the racing chaos is starting to look very real now. The latest Star Wars: Galactic Racer story trailer puts the spotlight on the game’s big rivalry inside the Galactic League, an Outer Rim racing circuit where speed, power, and corruption seem to be sharing the same cockpit. At the center of it all is Kestar Bool, the league champion using his status to intimidate rival pilots and tighten his grip on the competition. Standing against him is Shade, an up-and-coming racer with a personal grudge against the Bool family. So yes, this is not just “drive fast, explode beautifully.” There is actual racing drama now. Sebulba Still Knows How to Steal the Room The big nostalgic hook, of course, is Sebulba. The legendary podracer remains one of the most instantly recognizable racing figures in Star Wars, mostly because…
Star Wars Zero Company Finally Shows Gameplay and Confirms August Release
Star Wars Zero Company is no longer just a promising idea hiding behind tactical buzzwords. It has gameplay now. It has a date. And it suddenly feels much more real. The new Star Wars Zero Company gameplay trailer confirms that the Clone Wars-era tactics game will launch on August 27, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. That also means the earlier release-date leak was right. The squad is assembling this summer. Clone Wars Tactics Finally Takes the Spotlight Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, Zero Company is a single-player turn-based tactics game set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take control of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading Zero Company, an unconventional squad thrown into classified missions against a new dark side threat. The trailer gives the game a much clearer identity: squad positioning, battlefield choices, blaster fire, character…
On This Day: Star Wars Saga Edition Made the Galaxy Easier to Roleplay
On June 5, 2007, Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition Core Rulebook gave tabletop fans a cleaner way to turn the galaxy into their own campaign. Published by Wizards of the Coast, Saga Edition arrived at a perfect moment for Star Wars roleplaying. The prequel trilogy was complete, the original trilogy was still the mythic backbone, and the wider Expanded Universe was packed with Jedi, smugglers, soldiers, Sith, bounty hunters, starships, ancient wars, and enough lore to make any game master stare into space for several minutes. The big promise was simple: here was a system built to cover the whole Star Wars saga. Not just one era. Not just one type of hero. The whole messy, beautiful, lightsaber-swinging toy box. A Rulebook Built for the Whole Galaxy The clever thing about Saga Edition was that it tried to make Star Wars roleplaying feel faster and more flexible. Earlier d20…
The Mandalorian and Grogu Is Expected to Hit Disney+ This Year
Din Djarin and Grogu may be heading back to where their modern Star Wars story began: Disney+. After its theatrical run, The Mandalorian and Grogu is now expected to arrive on Disney+ later this year, according to comments from Disney+ EMEA chief Karl Holmes reported by The Hollywood Reporter. There is no exact streaming date yet. No official “mark your calendar” announcement. No cute Grogu countdown button. But the message is clear enough: the movie is part of Disney+’s 2026 film pipeline. From Streaming Hit to Big-Screen Star Wars That is a neat little full-circle moment. The Mandalorian helped define Disney+ when the service launched in 2019. Grogu became a global pop culture gremlin almost overnight, Din Djarin became one of modern Star Wars’ most recognizable leads, and the series proved that Star Wars could work as premium streaming television. Then Lucasfilm did something bigger. Instead of simply making a…
Star Wars Battlefront Black Series 2-Pack Leaks With Scarif and Magma Troopers
Star Wars Battlefront may be getting a new Black Series nod, and collectors should probably start pretending they still have shelf space. A new leak points to an upcoming Star Wars: The Black Series Scarif Stormtrooper and Magma Stormtrooper 2-pack, reportedly tied to Star Wars Battlefront and expected to be a Walmart exclusive. For now, this is not an official Hasbro reveal. No preorder page, no glamour shots, no carefully staged fanstream moment. Just a leak doing what leaks do best: appearing early and making collectors refresh websites like nervous protocol droids. Battlefront Troopers Make Perfect Figure Material The choice of troopers makes sense. The Scarif Stormtrooper immediately brings Rogue One energy: beaches, bunkers, tropical Imperial arrogance, and the general feeling that the Empire built a beautiful data archive in the worst possible place. The Magma Stormtrooper, meanwhile, leans directly into the specialist-trooper fantasy that Battlefront loved so much. Harsh…
Rogue One: The Imperial Suite Gets the Danish Symphony Treatment
Some Star Wars music announces itself with heroic trumpets and instant nostalgia. Rogue One: The Imperial Suite does something colder. Michael Giacchino’s music for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story has always lived in a fascinating space between old Star Wars tradition and something more severe, militaristic, and tragic. Now, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra has given The Imperial Suite the full live concert treatment, and it sounds exactly as it should: grand, ominous, and slightly like the Empire just filed a terrifying amount of paperwork before destroying your planet. The performance appears via DR Koncerthuset’s official YouTube uploads, continuing the orchestra’s strong run of Star Wars and sci-fi music performances. Rogue One Needed a Different Kind of Star Wars Sound Rogue One was never just another Star Wars adventure. It was a war film. A heist story. A tragedy with a countdown. It needed music that could feel connected…
Star Wars Battlefront II Just Refused to Leave the PS4 Charts
At this point, Star Wars Battlefront II is less a video game and more a Force ghost with a player base. According to PlayStation Blog’s official May 2026 PlayStation Store top downloads, Star Wars Battlefront II was the most downloaded PS4 game in US/Canada last month. In Europe, it landed at number two, just behind Red Dead Redemption 2. For a game released back in 2017, that is absurd in the best possible way. No major new expansion. No massive relaunch. No shiny sequel announcement. Just Battlefront II climbing back into the charts like it heard someone mention Battlefront 3 and decided to make a scene. The Game That Would Not Stay Buried The modern story of Battlefront II is still one of the strangest turnarounds in Star Wars gaming. It launched under a cloud of loot box controversy, became one of the most debated games of its generation, then…
Two Years Ago Today, Star Wars: Hunters Entered the Arena
Two years ago today, Star Wars: Hunters finally stepped into the arena. On June 4, 2024, Zynga and Lucasfilm Games launched the free-to-play 4v4 competitive battle game on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. The official Star Wars: Hunters launch announcement invited players into the Grand Arena on Vespaara, where original characters fought for fame, glory, and probably a worrying amount of in-universe sponsorship money. It was a simple pitch with a very Star Wars twist: team-based arena combat, but with Wookiees, bounty hunters, stormtroopers, droids, dark side weirdos, and enough character gimmicks to make the whole thing feel like a Saturday morning Holonet broadcast with blasters. A Star Wars Game With Its Own Toy Box What made Hunters interesting was that it did not try to retell a movie. It did not ask players to be Luke, Vader, Rey, or Mando. Instead, it built a new cast around Star Wars…
Two Years Ago Today, The Acolyte Took Star Wars Into the High Republic
Two years ago today, The Acolyte did something Star Wars live-action had never done before. It stepped away from the Skywalker timeline and walked into the High Republic. On June 4, 2024, The Acolyte premiered on Disney+ with two episodes, bringing viewers into an era set long before the fall of Anakin Skywalker, the rise of the Empire, or the Rebellion’s fight against Palpatine. StarWars.com’s original Acolyte premiere announcement positioned the series as a major new mystery story, while the official series page for The Acolyte places it firmly in the High Republic era. That alone made it important. Not because it was perfect. Because it was rare. Star Wars Tried a Different Door Most live-action Star Wars has stayed close to familiar gravity. The Empire. The Rebellion. The Clone Wars. The Mandalorian era. The shadow of Darth Vader. The Skywalkers, directly or indirectly, always nearby. The Acolyte tried to…
Star Wars Zero Company Release Date May Have Leaked Before Summer Game Fest
Star Wars Zero Company may have just become a lot more real. The upcoming Clone Wars-era tactics game is already set to appear at Summer Game Fest with a new gameplay trailer, but now a possible release date may have leaked ahead of the showcase. According to VGC’s report on the leaked Star Wars Zero Company release date, Dealabs insider billbil-kun claims the game is currently planned for August 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Important disclaimer before anyone starts polishing clone armor: EA has not officially confirmed that date. The official Star Wars Zero Company page still lists the game as “Coming 2026.” The Timing Is Very Convenient The timing is what makes this interesting. EA has already confirmed that a new Star Wars Zero Company gameplay trailer will be shown during Summer Game Fest on June 5. We covered that announcement in our earlier…
Star Wars Zero Company Gameplay Trailer Coming at Summer Game Fest
Star Wars gamers finally have a reason to watch Summer Game Fest with something stronger than blind hope. EA Star Wars has confirmed that a new gameplay trailer for Star Wars Zero Company will debut during Summer Game Fest on June 5 at 2pm PT. That means the upcoming tactical Star Wars game is stepping back into the spotlight, and this time the magic word is gameplay. Not a logo. Not a cinematic mood piece. Gameplay. That matters. The Clone Wars Tactics Game Gets Its Big Showcase Moment Star Wars Zero Company is the upcoming single-player turn-based tactics game from Bit Reactor, developed in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. EA’s official Star Wars Zero Company page describes the game as a gritty story set during the twilight of the Clone Wars. Players take on the role of Hawks, a former Republic officer leading Zero Company, an unconventional squad…
The Mandalorian Theme Gets a Massive Danish Symphony Performance
Some Star Wars music arrives with trumpets, destiny, and the Force basically kicking the door open. The Mandalorian did something different. Ludwig Göransson’s theme came in with recorders, drums, strange textures, western swagger, and the feeling that one very tired bounty hunter was about to walk through smoke with problems behind him and worse problems ahead. Now that sound has been given the full concert hall treatment by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and yes, it absolutely works. The live performance, shared by DR Koncerthuset on YouTube, brings Göransson’s instantly recognizable Mandalorian theme into a big orchestral setting, turning the lone gunslinger energy into something wider, richer, and more cinematic. The Theme Still Hits Differently One reason The Mandalorian theme became so memorable is that it never sounded like a normal Star Wars copy. It was not trying to imitate John Williams. Smart move, because that is how composers get…
Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Delayed to June 30
The galaxy’s most dangerous property dispute has been pushed back a little. Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains will now release on June 30, 2026, moving from its previously planned June 11 date. Ubisoft’s official Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains page now lists the new release date, while Gematsu has also reported the delay from June 11 to June 30. So no, this is not Battlefront 3. It is not Star Wars Jedi 3. It is not Eclipse finally crawling out of the unknown regions. It is Monopoly with lightsabers, team powers, and galactic real estate violence. And honestly, that is still news. Heroes, Villains, and Board Game Betrayal Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains is Ubisoft and Behaviour Interactive’s digital Star Wars twist on the classic board game. Instead of simply moving a tiny metal shoe around a board and slowly destroying family relationships, players choose heroes or…
On This Day: Star Tours Turned One Ride Into a Randomized Star Wars Multiverse
On June 3, 2011, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue opened at Disneyland and quietly changed what a Star Wars ride could be. The original Star Tours was already a landmark: a motion-simulator trip through the galaxy before Disney owned Lucasfilm, before Galaxy’s Edge, before Star Wars became a full theme park land. But The Adventures Continue did something smarter than just making the ride shinier. It made Star Wars unpredictable. The Same Ride, But Never Quite the Same Trip The big hook was randomization. Instead of sending every guest on the same fixed adventure, The Adventures Continue mixed different destinations, characters, transmissions, and action beats into multiple possible ride combinations. Wired’s 2011 preview of the upgraded Star Tours: The Adventures Continue noted that the ride could produce 54 different story combinations. For a theme park attraction, that was a brilliant little trick. You were not just riding Star Tours. You…
SWTOR 7.9 Patch Notes Fix the Small Stuff Players Actually Notice
Big story updates get the headlines. Patch-note housekeeping gets the quiet nod from players who just want the game to stop being weird in tiny, annoying ways. That is where Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Update 7.9, Legacy Reborn, does some useful work. Yes, 7.9 brings the finale of Legacy of the Sith. Yes, PvP Season 10 is here. Yes, there are new Cartel Market items and Dantooine updates. But buried in the official SWTOR Game Update 7.9 patch notes are the kinds of fixes players tend to notice during normal play. Not glamorous. Very welcome. PvP Gets Some Cleaner Navigation A few PvP Season interface issues have been cleaned up, which is good news for anyone who likes their reward tracking to behave like it understands its one job. Clicking PvP tracked objectives now correctly sends players to the objectives tab in the PvP Season window. The “Open”…
Rogue One Director Gareth Edwards Thinks AI Could Be Bigger Than CGI
Gareth Edwards is not exactly running from the AI conversation. The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director has spoken positively about generative AI in filmmaking, arguing that the technology could become one of the biggest creative tools in cinema. In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Edwards is quoted as saying AI is “going to be better than CGI.” That is a spicy sentence. Especially in Hollywood right now. AI remains one of the most radioactive topics in entertainment, with writers, actors, artists, editors, VFX teams, and studios all arguing over what should be automated, protected, credited, or absolutely kept away from the creative process. But Edwards’ view seems less like “replace everyone” and more like “this tool is too powerful to ignore.” Why Edwards’ Opinion Matters Edwards is not some random tech executive waving a shiny toy at filmmakers. He directed Rogue One, one of the most…
Tony Gilroy Wants Star Wars to Stay Ambitious, Wild, and Adventurous
Tony Gilroy may be finished with Andor, but he clearly still has opinions about where Star Wars should go next. And honestly, good. In an Associated Press video interview, the Andor creator was asked about the future of the franchise under new leadership. His answer was short, clean, and very Gilroy: “I’d like to think that they’ll stay ambitious and wild and adventurous.” That is not a bad mission statement for Star Wars right now. Andor Proved Star Wars Can Still Take Big Swings Andor worked because it did not feel like Star Wars checking boxes. It did not chase cameos every five minutes. It did not stop the story to wave at the audience. It took the galaxy seriously, built its politics carefully, and trusted viewers to care about ordinary people being crushed, radicalized, and pulled into rebellion. That made it different. And different is exactly what Star Wars…
PlayStation State of Play Is Today, but Star Wars Fans Should Keep Expectations Sensible
PlayStation’s next State of Play airs today, and yes, Star Wars fans are allowed to look at the calendar, raise one eyebrow, and start quietly wondering. Could something Star Wars appear? Maybe. Should anyone bet the cantina tab on it? Absolutely not. Sony has confirmed that State of Play returns on June 2 with more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from studios around the world. The showcase begins at 2pm PT, 5pm ET, and 11pm CEST, with a new look at Marvel’s Wolverine kicking things off. That makes this a major gaming showcase. It does not, however, make it a guaranteed Star Wars showcase. The Jedi 3 Question Is the Obvious One The reason Star Wars fans will be watching is simple: Star Wars Jedi 3. Respawn’s next Jedi game has not been formally revealed, but it is already one of the most expected Star Wars…
On This Day: Star Wars: Shatterpoint Turned Clone Wars Drama Into Tabletop Combat
On June 2, 2023, Star Wars: Shatterpoint launched with a very clear idea: Star Wars tabletop battles did not always need to be massive wars. Sometimes, they just needed Anakin, Ahsoka, Maul, Obi-Wan, clones, droids, and one extremely dramatic objective in the middle of the board. Atomic Mass Games describes Star Wars: Shatterpoint as a character-focused, fast-paced miniatures skirmish game built around high-stakes personal confrontations between iconic heroes and villains. That is the key difference. This was not trying to replace Star Wars: Legion as the big battlefield game. It was chasing a different fantasy: the close-up duel, the squad clash, the emotional fight where every move feels like a scene. Clone Wars Energy on the Table From the start, Shatterpoint leaned heavily into the Clone Wars era, which makes sense. That period is basically built for this kind of game. Anakin versus Dooku. Ahsoka surrounded by clones. Maul causing…
SWTOR’s June 2026 Events Bring Swoop Racing and Rakghoul Panic
June in Star Wars: The Old Republic is giving players two very different reasons to log in: high-speed swoop chaos and a fresh outbreak of the Rakghoul plague. Broadsword has posted the official SWTOR in-game events for June 2026, confirming that the month will feature The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally and Rakghoul Resurgence on Corellia. So yes, June is basically engines first, plague later. The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally Returns The All Worlds Ultimate Swoop Rally runs from June 9 to June 16, beginning and ending at 12:00PM GMT. Players need to be level 20 or higher to join in. The event sends swoop fans and riders across Dantooine, Tatooine, and Onderon for challenge courses, gang rivalries, big jumps, and the kind of reckless speed that would make any sensible insurance droid shut down immediately. Featured rewards include swoop rally mounts, swoop gang outfits, promotion droid mini-pets, stronghold…
SWTOR Update 7.9 Adds Mandalorian and Grogu-Inspired Cartel Market Items
SWTOR is leaning straight into the Mandalorian and Grogu hype with Game Update 7.9, Legacy Reborn. Broadsword has revealed the next batch of Cartel Market additions, and the headline is clear: new items inspired by Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu are coming to Star Wars: The Old Republic. The official Cartel Market Additions: Game Update 7.9 post confirms several new cosmetic items tied to the film, alongside weapons connected to the new Legacy Reborn story. In other words, SWTOR is doing what SWTOR does best: taking the wider Star Wars moment and turning it into fashion, weapons, and very serious outfit planning. The Tundra Enforcer Armor Set Leads the Drop The main film-inspired armor addition is the Tundra Enforcer Armor Set. The set comes with two chestpieces, one with a backpack and one without, which is exactly the kind of small customization detail SWTOR players notice immediately. Half the…
Star Wars Jedi 3 Rumour Says Cal Kestis Will Be Older
Cal Kestis may be about to age into his most interesting chapter yet. A new rumour around the next Star Wars Jedi game suggests that Respawn’s third entry will feature an older Cal Kestis and another time jump after Jedi: Survivor. The claim comes from Tom Henderson on the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, with GamingBolt reporting on the rumour. For now, this is not official. EA and Respawn have not revealed the game, its title, or its timeline. But as rumours go, this one makes a lot of sense. Cal’s Story Has Always Used Time Jumps The Star Wars Jedi series has already used time jumps as a storytelling tool. Jedi: Fallen Order introduced Cal as a young survivor of Order 66, hiding on Bracca and trying very hard not to be noticed by the Empire. Jedi: Survivor then picked up five years later, showing a more worn-down, more experienced…
