What kind of tools are used, what is the original raw material, and how are the final pieces made?Arsham: The originals are sometimes a combination of 3D printed elements, some clay work, sometimes there’s some plaster sculpting involved.

Image: HasbroThat unmistakable sinister chuckle will fill your brain every time you catch a glimpse of the Hasbro Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Jabba the Hutt set—a worthy tradeoff for having such a well-appointed collectible paying tribute to the corpulent gangster Han Solo was really, really trying to avoid. Inspired by, quite obviously, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Hasbro’s new 3.75-inch scale set features a 3.75-inch scale Jabba the Hutt—an updated repaint of the Jabba previously included with the…

There’s no question that the past eigh years of Star Wars have been divisive. No one’s going to debate that. Some fans hate the Sequel Trilogy but love The Mandalorian and Rogue One. Some adore The Last Jedi but hate Rise of Skywalker. And then there are plenty that only like Andor. And then there are people like me, who find plenty to enjoy in all of the above. There are some decisions, though, that we can all agree didn’t play out how Lucasfilm may have hoped — creatively or financially. These are all things I hope…

Harrison Ford isn’t taking any bunk.Screenshot: YouTubeStar Wars is just one of those things everyone knows. Whether you love it, hate it, or are indifferent about it, you’re almost surely aware of it. You know Darth Vader, you know lightsabers, you know John Williams’ music. So, when talking to Conan O’Brien, one of the other people everyone knows, Harrison Ford, couldn’t believe his eyes.James Mangold on his Future Star Wars Film | io9 InterviewAs you can see in the clip below, Ford hilariously roasts the comedian,…

This July, not only will Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny be playing in a theater near you, Harrison Ford will turn 81 years old.

Well, when posed that question by Total Film, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy admitted that she…

Sometimes it’s not fair to tell people they’re playing a video game wrong—in fact, it’s more often than not unfair to tell people they’re playing a video game wrong. But Star Wars fans, I beg of you, as you gallivant through the galaxy in Jedi Survivor, use something other than the single lightsaber.Spoilers of the Week Feb.11thThis distressing (distressing!) information came to light yesterday, when EA Games’ Star Wars social accounts posted a bevy of interesting statistics about players’ adventures in the world of the…

Star Wars has been a cultural touchstone since the original film debuted in theaters more than 45 years ago. Today, the Star Wars brand is still led by the ongoing movie series. Each Star Wars movie release stirs frantic buzz across the world, and with Disney+, that even extends to television now with series like The Mandalorian. It seeps into video games, too, and although there are a lot of bad Star Wars games, recent ones like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor prove they can be good. Let’s take a look at the best Star Wars…

Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo.Image: LucasfilmLet’s face facts. The odds of Alden Ehrenreich returning to the role of Han Solo probably aren’t great.
