New announcement from Lucasfilm.

Lots of potential here.  Not exactly The Old Republic, but a great chance for Disney/Lucasfilm to create their own unique story.  I just hope that when movies are made about the High Republic, they are able to stand alone from the books being written.  Kind of like how Rebels was handled in Rogue One...a lot of neat Easter eggs for Rebels fans, but the movie stood on its own.

Amazon dropped off my copy of the deluxe edition yesterday and I spent a fair amount of time playing this game last night.


Bottom line: I am loving this game!  The graphics are great, the story is unfolding well, the characters are compelling and the gameplay is fun and challenging!

I cannot believe I am endorsing a game from EA, but here we are!  There’s no micro transactions or other monetization added to this game.  The deluxe version only added some cosmetic content and it’s not a pay-to-win scam. 

If you are at all a gamer, pick this game up!  It will send a great message to EA that these are the kinds of games that we want!  Kudos to Respawn for making a great game, hopefully the success of this game will revive the Star Wars game that was being developed by Visceral before EA shut them down because it couldn’t be monetized with micro transactions.

I hadn’t realized that this had been released!  I downloaded it last night and watched it today and I have to say, Adywan has taken my favorite Star Wars film and made it better!

Worth a look if you have the time!

Some fun reading right here.

Here's a fun read for anyone who spent time in the military....or if you'd like a little insight into that world.  There's some great articles on looking at battles in Star Wars through the lens of military doctrine and even some funny Stormtrooper Veteran's Day rants and crash investigations.

Not much known about it other than it takes place after the most recent novel.

I have a friend that is a great storyteller and TOR is finally releasing his first novel.  It's called Graveyard Shift and it's available for preorder and will be out next month.  You don't have to go into this Chapter One is available online now.

He wrote this as an anti-twilight book (unfortunately, it's been held up for about 5 years), but he's given me insight into the characters when we were working together and I'm excited for him that this book is finally coming out!

He has a great idea for a story about the Star Destroyer Avenger crew Mutinying after Vader kills Captain Needa.  I'm hoping that his book does well enough that Disney/Lucasfilm will buy that idea!
