Here are some points that were discussed on the new canon in the Star Wars universe. These points were discussed at the Star Wars Celebration that happened in Anaheim, California. To read the entire post make sure to click through to the original source. One cohesive saga across all media is being told going forward with the new setting. A goal of the Lucasfilm Story Group is to make sure that no real conflicts in storytelling take place in regards to continuity errors. The concept of the LSG was Kathleen Kennedy’s idea, and it helps with the flood of the rapidly-increasing amount of canonical content being made. The old EU (Legends) was completely liquidated to avoid playing favorites; it was described as being a tough call, though completely necessary. Legends are used as source material for filling in some details (such as the physical size and mass of the Death…

Star Wars Battlefront Reveal Trailer
After many grueling days of waiting for gameplay footage for Star Wars: Battlefront and only having access to concept art, the wait is over! You can now see video gameplay and their mission is quite clear: to make the most beautiful and faithful adaptation of the original trilogy to date. The demo begins on the forest moon of Endor with a group of rebels running through the forest. Three speeder bikes carrying Stormtroopers screech across the screen, and a firefight ensues with more Stormtroopers arriving. Soon this skirmish is interrupted by a gigantic AT-AT stomping through an opening in the forest. Regular firepower is completely ineffectual, even picking up a powerful weapon pick like a missile launcher is no use against the walker’s thick armour. The rebels reach a communications terminal and call in an airstrike from a nearby base.
Some Character Speculation for The Force Awakens
The rumors surrounding The Force Awakens are absolutely crazy. There are new ones every day; some of them are very clearly made up, others seem like they could be legitimate, and a select few get confirmed (or at least corroborated). I’ve sifted through quite a few of these rumors, and here are some of the most interesting things that I’ve heard so far. Warning: character-related and minor plot-related spoilers. The “main villain,” as reported by MovieWeb, is a cyborg Inquisitor who holds ties to the Sith. He’s reported to have red eyes to match his red lightsaber, and has machine parts throughout his body, similar to Vader, but with no mask (this is likely to be the cyborg-looking guy we saw in some earlier concept art). This could give us some interesting insights into the plot; although the Empire has taken a serious hit, the Sith seem to be fine ….

A well known video game insider has already seen the Star Wars: Battlefront gameplay trailer and thinks it will “break the internet“.
Breaking News: A popular video game insider has had the privilege of seeing the gameplay trailer from Star Wars: Battlefront and he think it will “break the internet.” “Tidux”, an industry insider tweeted about his thoughts after watching the gameplay trailer. Tidux said: “Omfg, #StarWarsBattlefront gameplay is just ridiculous. the internet will frikkin break. (I) just can not believe what I have just seen” Later on during the week the Star Wars Celebration will reveal the trailer for the rests of the population to see. One developer from DICE has stated that the trailer will be exactly what the game looks like and they have not used any CGI. We think that the choice of words Tidux used is quite interesting. At first glance, they seem to be completely positive, but VG24/7 Italy thinks they were quite negative. Some of the replies from Tidux’s tweets have been positive and negative….
Rumor: First Footage from Visceral’s Untitled Star Wars Game to Debut at E3 2015?
A new untitled Visceral Star Wars game is guessed to be third person and about a young Han Solo. Since the news of this, a new report has come in that the first footage from the game could be released soon. Now that everyone knows the trailer for Star Wars: Battlefront will happening in less than 10 days during the Star Wars celebration, it has given fans time to wonder about the new Star Wars game currently being developed by Visceral. According to a source, the wait will not be long and should be revealed during this year’s E3. E3 will be happening at the LA Convention Center, from June 16th-18th. The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the largest annual trade fair only for video and computer games and their industry. The expo is presented by Entertainment Software Association, or ESA for short. Many video game creators and publishers attend to…
The Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Books Available for Pre-Order
We were pretty excited to hear that there were going to be at least 20 new Star Wars books, ranging from novels to sticker books, coming out this fall. And now they’re here—the first pre-orders are available! Not all of the books have been announced yet, but it’s clear that Disney is placing a heavy emphasis on filling fans in on what happened between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. In addition to the Marvel comic series we discussed earlier, Shattered Empire, we can now see a few more titles. Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath presents an intriguing cover, with “The war is not over” emblazoned on the cover. Looks like Disney’s rewriting the canon quite a bit (we had some idea that this was the case when we saw Stormtroopers in the trailer, but this lends even more credence to the idea). The book’s description also contains the line “And while the Rebel Alliance engages the fractured…
Four of the Best Star Wars Cameos in Non-Star Wars Video Games
Star Wars video games are great, but they aren’t the only place that your favorite Star Wars characters show up! You might be surprised to find out that you can play as Yoda, Darth Maul, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Jango Fett in other video games. Here are a few of my favorites. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater In Pro Skater 3, you can unlock Darth Maul as a skater, and Pro Skater 4 includes Jango Fett. Use the power of the Dark Side to take your skateboarding to the next level!

Star Wars Lore – THE RAKATA (Part 2)
Greetings Star Wars lore junkies. I’m Vulkk and working on this video took me insane amount of time and effort. I am glad it is finished finally. If you enjoy it, that will be my biggest reward. Part 2 of the RAKATA History and Lore will tell us about their First encounter with the Je’daii, explain the reasons for the Empire’s Collapse and what happened to the Remnants of the once mighty Infinite Empire. The Rakata (also known as the Builders) were a technologically advanced race that developed early in galactic history, even developing some early hyperdrive technology. Long term use of the dark side of the Force corrupted their society and turned them into a race of merciless warriors. The Rakata used their potent Force-powered technologies to conquer and enslave every other species they came across throughout their known galaxy. During the reign of theirInfinite Empire, they were characterized by…
Want to See Another Star Wars Trailer?
Then go see the new Avengers movie! We’ve seen one trailer for The Force Awakens, and we’ll be seeing a new one soon—in front of Avengers: Age of Ultron. It’s been rumored for a while, and with multiple sources reporting this release for the next trailer, it seems very likely. Age of Ultron comes out on May 1st in North America, but has release dates around the world starting on April 22nd, so you can bet that we’ll see some bootleg cell phone recordings of the trailer hitting YouTube before that. The trailer will also be shown at the Star Wars Celebration convention, which runs from April 16th to 19th. After JJ Abrams’ crackdown on leaks coming off of the set, it seems likely that Lucasfilm could try to stay one step ahead of bootleggers and just put the trailer out on the internet after the convention, before anyone has a chance to put up…

Could a Star Wars: Battlefront Novel Be in the works?
The new paperback version of A New Dawn is on the verge of publication and it features a official timeline. This timeline gives you information about different types of media surrounding the Star Wars saga. There is an interesting note in this that shows a new novel is in development in addition to Aftermath and Dark Disciple. Many will think that the Battlefront title is only referring to the upcoming video game, you should know that television shows are only listed as television shows and movies are listed separately. Based on these terms, a conclusion has been drawn that a video game should be listed under its own separate banner as well, but this is not labeled as such. There is no definite answer yet, but we think a new novel is sure to come.
‘Star Wars: Battlefront’ 5 Features Fans Want Most: 2015 Release Date, Gameplay, Story, DLC And More
As many of you know, Star Wars: Battlefront was confirmed to be showcased at Star Wars Celebration on between April 16th and 19th of this year by EA and DICE. Fans don’t have very much information at all about Star Wars: Battlefront but let’s go over some aspects the game needs to have to really wow the crowd. The Star Wars: Battlefront legacy is notorious for being a first person shooter style game and nothing else. Many longtime players will remember that both “Battlefield” games did offer players a choice between first and third person shooters. Many fans enjoy the option of this style of gameplay, so we think creators definitely need to include this in the game. Fans of Star Wars: Battlefront typically love the multiplayer gameplay but we think creators need to focus on a more expansive story line as well. There have been a few rumors that suggests a…
Star Wars: Battlefront Just a Month Away
Star Wars fans only have about a month to wait for the unveiling of Star Wars: Battlefront, quite possibly the most hotly anticipated Star Wars gaming title ever. While they will not be able to get their hands on the game just yet (the title is set for a December 2015 release), they will probably be able to feast their thirsty eyes on some in-game action and the hype-machine will be fed some new crumbs of information/details to keep its gears turning. Officially announced at last year’s E3, Star Wars: Battlefront has already offered a precious few glimpses into the virtual world that EA is hoping will lure scores and scores of players to the title, and everyone was quite impressed with what they saw. Starting April 16 though, at the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, CA, fans are likely to see a different beast, with close to a year’s…

Star Wars 1313 isn’t dead yet
A large-scale 3rd person style action game named Star Wars 1313 became cancelled after Disney took over Lucasfilm, however this games remains could be fuel for The Force Awakens. Currently, there are three Star Wars games in the works for PC and console gaming systems and the three development companies are Visceral Games, DICE, and BioWare. They all belong to the EA Games Company. BioWare delivered us the RPG game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic during 2003 and DICE is scheduled to release Star Wars: Battlefront close to the end of 2015. Visceral and EA recently gave an announcement that Amy Hennig would be responsible for the story line for the new Star Wars game. She will also be working with Todd Stashwik and they both are known for their work on Uncharted 4. When comparing Uncharted 4 and the trailer for Star Wars 1313 you can see…

SWTOR 3.2: Rise of the Emperor – Outfit Designer Overview
