Jabba

Star Wars Outlaws will let players will work for — and even betray — criminal syndicates from Star Wars, including one led by crime boss Jabba the Hutt. Speaking to IGN, creative director Julian Gerighty shared that protagonist Kay Vess will have to manage her reputation with the universe’s criminal syndicate factions. “The better reputation you have, the better jobs you’ll get, the better prices you’ll get in their stores, you’ll get more access to their faction territories,” explained Gerighty. “But if that…

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…

What is the stick for? Who knows, but Kenner and Hasbro certainly don’t mind it all these years later.

We saw Lando Calrissian in Jabba's Palace in Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi, as well as a captured Chewbacca. But how did they get there?We saw Lando Calrissian in Jabba's Palace in Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi, as well as a captured Chewbacca. But how did they get there?

Screenshot: LucasfilmSo much has happened to the Star Wars franchise in the last 14 years that it can be difficult to remember that the new canon actually began with Dave Filoni’s Clone Wars cartoon. It was retroactively added into Disney’s new Star Wars stories by virtue of being a pretty good show helmed by the guy who would eventually be the driving force behind Star Wars’ live-action TV series. It can be even harder to remember that The Clone Wars kicked off with a movie—a theatrically released movie—that was…

Image: LucasfilmJust as we’re about to get a new Star Wars show in the form of Andor—the second of three shows this year, if you need reminding—the movie side of the franchise took another noticeable hit. Rogue Squadron, a film originally planned to be directed by Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins for a December 2023 release, has been pulled off the release schedule. Whether that was a realistic release date or not consideringJenkins reportedly had other projects on her docket, it looks like a new Star Wars movie won’t come…

Vasquez, Yogurt, Oola, and Sax Man deserve their own movies.Image: 20th Century Fox, MGM, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros.Movies are made by the quality of their supporting characters. Oh sure, the leads are the people that drive the story, but if they don’t have quirky best friends to bounce off, what’s the point? And if the characters who appear in only a scene or two are equally as memorable? That’s even better. Last week, news broke that the team behind Cobra Kai is taking this fact to heart. They’re developing a spinoff to…

And if you look at pictures of Bith aliens, who show up most prominently as the cantina band in A New Hope, this is a fairly accurate sculpt of the aliens as seen in the movie. So why is this figure’s face so upsetting to look at? Part of it, surely, is that the head is molded in plastic much pinker and rosier than the tanner, more alien-pigmented aliens of the film. Also, there’s no…
