‘Battlefront Classic Collection’ Multiplayer Review: It’s More Than Just Server Issues

Earlier this week, I gave a slightly positive review of Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection. In my review, I likened the collection to a “historical artifact,” in that there are a lot of aspects about it that haven’t aged very well, but are cool to go back and look at because of how it influenced future projects. I had not been able to comment on the multiplayer side of the game. At that time, servers weren’t available to the public, so it was tough to find matches online. Now that servers have been made public, more has come to light regarding the collection. You’ll most likely have seen numerous reports about the game’s server issues. But in my opinion, the game’s multiplayer has more problems than just its servers. Note: My opinion is formed solely on my experience playing on t...

Qui-Gon Challenges the Jedi Council in First ‘Star Wars: The Living Force’ Excerpt

The first excerpt for Star Wars: The Living Force has been released. John Jackson Miller’s return to long-form Star Wars has been hotly-anticipated since the novel’s announcement, soon coming to shelves on April 9. The book, taking place one year before The Phantom Menace, has been described as a “road trip” with all twelve members of the Jedi Council. Their destination is Kwenn, home to an old Jedi outpost. Inciting this rare event is Qui-Gon Jinn, who challenges the council that the Order doesn’t care about the people like it once did.StarWars.com shared the excerpt and a sneak peek at the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition. It contains a new poster insert with a colored map of Kwenn on the flip side. Random House Worlds isn’t pulling any punches in its marketing of The Living Force...

‘Young Jedi Adventures’ Season 1 Review and Discussion; Where Does the Series Go From Here?

When Young Jedi Adventures was announced back in 2022, I approached it with cautious optimism. By definition, children’s programming like this would never be as engaging as other Star Wars offerings. But as more details emerged, something began to click. Bright and bubbly characters, galaxy-spanning adventures, and Nubs-related shenanigans were on the way. The only thing standing in the way of this series’ success was the overarching question. Could it succeed in introducing fans to Star Wars at such a young age? Well, the entire 25-episode first season is now available on Disney Plus, and the answer is a resounding yes. While your mileage may vary, love for these characters can be found everywhere. Season 1 of Young Jedi Adventures was a triumph of fun, laughter, heart, surprising amou...
