‘Star Wars: Inquisitors’ Comic Miniseries Coming This Year

Lucasfilm has announced that the Inquisitors are getting their own Star Wars comic miniseries this July. Titled Star Wars: Inquisitors, the comic will follow the Inquisitorius as they hunt Tensu Run, a new character described as a survivor of Order 66 who has drawn the attention of Darth Vader, the Inquisitors’ master. Tensu is trying to rebuild the Jedi Order and spreading messages of hope, so Vader wants him dead as soon as possible. The story is written by Rodney Barnes, with artwork by Ramon Rosanas. Barnes shared his excitement for the series. It’s such an honor to be writing the very first Inquisitors solo story!” Barnes tells StarWars.com. “I love this time period of Star Wars lore because it’s the one I grew up on — when Darth Vader and the Empire were imposing their will on the...

‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ Confirmed for May 22, 2026

It was a long time coming, but it’s been confirmed by Disney now: The Mandalorian & Grogu is officially targeting a May 22, 2026, release date. The announcement was made today in anticipation of next week’s CinemaCon panel in Las Vegas, where the Mouse House is presenting its future slate on Thursday, April 11. The company boasts an attractive lineup for 2026, which besides the next Star Wars movie (and there is still another untitled far, far away title scheduled for December) will be the new home for the live-action Moana remake (July 10) and Toy Story 5 (June 19). As far as competition goes, The Mandalorian & Grogu is not opening up against any big movie, but Disney is still keeping the next Avengers installment on May 1 of that year. Given Marvel’s current behind-the-scenes ...

‘The Living Force’ Drops New Excerpt After Initial Wave of Reviews

The embargo lifted earlier this week on John Jackson Miller’s The Living Force, and Random House has used the good buzz built by those positive initial reactions to drop a new excerpt from the book and generate more enthusiasm. The Living Force comes out on April 9, and is now available for pre-order.The story is set a year before The Phantom Menace, and follows the attempt by the Jedi Order to save an outpost on Kwenn. It features much-recognizable characters like Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi (who star in a little adventure in the excerpt below), but it has the peculiarity that it tells the story from the points of view of all 12 members of the Jedi Council, giving us unique insights into their distinct lines of thinking.In his review, Nate Manning called it “the Jedi-centric story ...

‘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...
