Master of Evil novel
As the most iconic character of the franchise, Darth Vader has his fair share of appearances in games and series while also getting full comic series dedicated to the Sith Lord. After many years, Darth Vader is getting a novel called Master of Evil.
Written by Adam Christopher (Shadow of the Sith), the novel explores Vader’s pursuit for power in an attempt to overcome death. This dark story is releasing on November 11, 2025.
Star Wars Outlaws DLC premiere
It’s been a few months since we got any content for Star Wars Outlaws. The Wild Card DLC left us wanting more than just a couple extra quests.
The second DLC featuring our favorite pirate, Hondo Ohnaka will be released later this year but so far we have no more information but that is changing in the upcoming week.
A Pirate’s Fortune will premiere at Star Wars Celebration, on April 18th to be precise. The word “premiere” doesn’t explain much but it’s probably safe to assume that the devs will present the trailer and maybe even announce the release date.
Cinemark ROTS merch is available now
Revenge of the Sith is coming back to theaters later this month to celebrate its 20th anniversary. As is common with big releases, some cinemas release their own merchandise.
The Popcorn Tin, Cup, and Darth Vader Cup by CINEMARK are now available in select locations. They are priced at $20, $15, and $7.50 respectively.
The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte
Fans of The Acolyte and art enthusiasts will be able to take a deep dive into the art and inspiration that created the visual aesthetic of The Acolyte.
Written by Kristin Beaver with a few contributions from Leslye Headland, the Acolyte’s showrunner, The Art of The Acolyte has 224 pages and is coming out on October 7, 2025.
Revenge of the Sith novel gets a deluxe edition
The 20th anniversary celebration of Revenge of the Sith continues. This time, with a deluxe version of the film’s novelization.
The biggest difference is that it is an annotated edition, which gives a small insight into what the author was thinking when writing it.
Aside from the 150 annotations, you can expect to receive a paper over-board book case, gilded and stain edges, illustrated full-color end papers and a red satin ribbon market. You can expect it to hit shelves in October 2025.
