Revenge of the Sith re-release
20 years after its initial release, we get to experience Revenge of the Sith in cinemas again. An experience that many of us remember vividly due to how much it meant for us.
Hopefully, it will be just as meaningful for those who watch it this way for the first time. It won’t be available for too long, so I really suggest that you don’t miss this opportunity.
Andor Season 2 is here
After a long wait, the second season of Andor is here. The first three episodes were released simultaneously on April 22nd, and they already shocked many of us with some of the things that happened. It’s definitely setting the bar really high for the remaining nine episodes.
My review dives deep into the episodes, or if you prefer learning about hidden details and references, we got you covered on that front too!
Fortnite’s Star Wars battle pass
The new Fortnite Star Wars Battle Pass has been partially revealed. Han Solo’s DL-44 Blaster, Jango Fett’s Westar-34 Blaster Pistols, Emperor Palpatine, Poe Dameron, Wookie Team Leader Remix, Sith/Jedi Evie Remix, and General Grievous are the first items to be officially revealed.
Aside from them, we’ll also have purchasable skins of Captain Phasma, Mace Windu, a customizable Mandalorian, and Darth Jar Jar. All of these, combined with the drivable X-Wings, TIE Fighters, and themed locations, will make this season super fun. All of these items will be available on May 2nd, 2025.
Hasbro extends contract with Star Wars and Marvel
Hasbro is famous for creating some of the most sought-after toys and collectibles for both Star Wars and Marvel. Figures, helmets, lightsabers, and ships are arguably the most popular Star Wars items they sell.
Thousands of fans make space in their homes and wallets to get that next item that will make their collection closer to finally being completed. They have been partners for over 50 years, which isn’t ending anytime soon.
We don’t know how long the new contract lasts, but collectors can be assured that the collaboration between these two giants will continue for the foreseeable future.
