Battlefront II for GBA was featured in this episode of The New Adventures of Old Christine on October 9, 2006, about 11 months after its release. Just one problem -- it never came out for GBA. You also never burned any villages (right?). So much wrong here in just 12 seconds!

These four words—delivered perfectly by Skarsgard—encapsulate everything that makes Luthen the most captivating Star Wars character of the Disney era. A chilling mix of ruthlessness and sincerity.

I like Kay Vess, but it’s going to be hard to go stealthing again in the new Outlaws DLC without wishing I were Kleya instead.

SUPER-MINOR ANDOR SPOILER AHEAD
Anyone else try to apply your recently acquired understanding of sabacc to that one scene in Andor last night? Anyone else fail miserably at that?

Quick, fun LucasArts marketing department story from 2005 to start your #StarWarsDay weekend:
The Episode III: Revenge of the Sith movie game turns 20 on Monday, May 5. No one was saying #RevengeOfTheFifth like they do today, and we unfortunately didn't recognize that clever pun ourselves. But...

Hasbro got it right the first time in 1997—both of those should go to Coruscant. At least Boardwalk.

If you weren't awake at 3:30 a.m. ET, here's the Star Wars: Zero Company panel in its entirety: www.youtube.com/live/q0trVP5...
Plus a few screens from the panel that I don't believe are being sent out to press.

It's rare I come across a Star Wars game release I've never seen before. This Australian four-pack features Domark's Amiga version of Atari's classic.
You can tell how dead SW was as a franchise by Luke's placement behind Bond, Fake Arnold, and Generic Conan Ripoff. www.ebay.com/itm/11642461...
