How Biddy Blas From 'Star Wars: Galactic Racer' Became A Meme Icon
Biddy Blas was originally conceived as a character archetype, Rager, someone who was a sore loser and a worse winner. The one notable example of the Crocin species, seen as one of the Sabacc players in Solo, spoke to the developers, and Biddy Blas was born.
All The 'Star Wars' News From NYCC 2026
Further announcements from the convention were mainly focused on the toy space as Hasbro revealed a range of new action figures covering various parts of the Skywalker Saga. The Vintage Collection has The Mandalorian-related figures coming, with a three-pack of Carson Teva, Frog Lady, and Trapper Wolf shown off. Elsewhere, the Black Series line is getting multiple releases, from a different Frog Lady to a different multipack containing the likes of Anakin as a Jedi Padawan and IG-88.
5 Notable Landspeeders In The 'Star Wars' Galaxy
In honor of the release of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, we thought it would be a good idea to look back over some of the most noted vehicles the franchise possesses, especially racing vehicles! Today, its speeder bikes, the cars of the Star Wars galaxy, and one of the three main varieties of vehicles that players can race in Galactic Racer.
Epic Pivots Mid-Development, Announces Full Tilt Use Of AI In Game Production
Part of this push seems possibly to be because of the potential pressure Disney could be applying to Epic over the mysterious project. Having invested 1.5 billion dollars into the company in 2024, Disney would not have been happy to hear that the game’s development has apparently been slower than initially expected due to Epic’s incorrect assessments of what resources the project actually needed.
Lucasfilm Publishing Panel At NYCC 2026 Unveils Several Upcoming Stories
Even before the Lucasfilm Publishing Panel on Friday, October 9th at New York Comic Con 2026, exciting news was reaching the fans. This came in the form of the reveal of the first substantive Mandoverse tie-in comic, based on a story from Dave Filoni but authored by Rodney Barnes and set to release beginning January 2027.
5 Strange Stories From The Early 2010s 'Star Wars' Canon
Star Wars has a lot of strange things in it, from unique aliens with designs that make you wonder “how do they even survive” to stories that make you pause, think, and question everything. It is this second pole of consideration that we'll be tackling today as we explore some of the early stories that formed part of the new canon under Disney and Lucasfilm.
Sony In Talks To Develop ‘Battlefield’ Game Into A Movie, Michael B. Jordan Still Attached
This project’s crystallization comes as video game projects see a resurgence across streaming services and the big screen, some seeing far more success than others. However, it also comes as Battlefield’s biggest franchise nemesis, Call of Duty, is also seeking to produce a film project adaptation. Exactly who will be first to market is currently unclear, as there are no casting announcements or projected release dates for either project.
Paramount Confirms The Name Of The Warner Bros. Discovery Merger
As part of the deal, Ellison has made big promises about the slate of film releases and film productions, with year-based timestamps on these goals. However, as many will recall, other companies have made similar promises of productivity, increased margins in all manner of areas, and more, when it comes to massive mergers like this. We’ll have to see if Ellison’s new Skydance megacorp can meet their targets, as well as if they’ll be punished at all for failing to meet them. READ NEXT:
Warner Bros. Sets June 2029 Release Date For Owen Harris's 'Game Of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest'
Aegon’s Conquest is an interesting story to tackle for a film due to the current timeline we have for the Conquest itself. It was a blistering military campaign that saw only a few major battles, but what battles did occur were often spectacular arenas of slaughter at the hands of the Targaryen dragons. The Vale and the North submitted without conflict, though the Stormlands, Riverlands, Westerlands, and the Reach were all conquered by force.
Another Marvel Film To Get A Re-Release With New Footage
Supposedly, some of the new footage would feature Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple, a character who has been reintegrated with the MCU from the Netflix Marvel shows, though hasn’t appeared in any notable capacity to date. Dawson previously spoke about filming a scene for the film that ended up cut, though this would not be the only element of the potential new footage.
Disney+ Will Likely Have Ads On Each Plan Now
While this potential renewed push of ads into the streaming service may integrate more seamlessly in older television series or television movies uploaded to Disney+, it will still be jarring to encounter for those who have tried to escape the continuous spread of adverts.
'Warhammer' Reveals Its Autumn Releases
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the presentation was the return of the Legion of the Damned to the game in the form of a Kill Team unit positioned opposite a force of powerful Orks. Both sets of models will come to Warhammer 40,000 proper in the future, like all Kill Team releases, but this release is still a shock.
The Starships And Starfighters Of The New Republic
The Star Wars galaxy is full of iconic starships, from the huge, imposing Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire to the nimble, sleek N-1 starfighters of the Naboo and the familiar shape of the Corellian CR90 corvette. However, each era has its design elements, ideas, and legacies, and some of the most significant in this regard are the starships of the New Republic.
A New Trailer And Interview Reveal Plenty About 'Avatar: Seven Havens'
Avatar: Seven Havens’ trailer underlines this fact by showing us a world drastically changed by events somehow connected to Korra’s life many years in the past. There is a question on how old Korra was when the events evasively depicted and mentioned took place, likely shortening that 225 year period, because some Avatars have been shown to have lived incredibly long lives. Regardless, the people of the Havens now live in fear and hatred of the Avatar.
Asa Germann Joins The MCU As Angel For 'X-Men'
It is a bit amusing that an actor so recently involved in a satire/parody/commentary on the idea of a school for young people with superpowers has achieved a role in one of the most prominent iterations of that concept in popular culture. Of course, Marvel isn’t confirming any of this news, providing no comment to THR, though the industry reporting about these casting announcements has, so far, been fairly accurate to this writer’s understanding.
5 Ideas Of What Luke Skywalker's Solo Comic Could Have Been
As it stands, that honor goes to The Weapon of a Jedi, another early canon novel tying into The Force Awakens. This adventure could have been weirder though, as befits the comic medium, with exotic structures, animals or plants, as well as strange beliefs in the Force or interactions due to whatever local event Luke encounters. All and all, it would have allowed Luke to grow in his understanding of the Force, and that’s always fun to see! CultureSlate: Made by humans, for humans.
Directors Of 'Star Wars: Galactic Racer' Talk About How Important Game Feel Is
Game Director Bill Lane, meanwhile, spoke to the difficulties of creating a new type of vehicle for the game, the skim speeder, but also the wide variety of references they drew from to accomplish the task. They used all sorts of vehicle references for the skim and other game rides, from planes to a range of four-wheelers, resulting in the team believing there are actually many similarities between a variety of real-world vehicles.
A Leak Provides First Look At EA's Work On Marvel's 'Iron Man' Game
New artwork officially revealed by Motive’s X profile for the upcoming Iron Man game, Image Source: X Marvel hasn’t had the best track record when it comes to video games over the years. While there have been certain successes in the mobile arena, many console games have seen delays or struggles. This includes at EA, where a Black Panther game was recently canned after years of work.
'Grand Theft Auto VI' Has Dropped An Extended Look
After several release date delays, an ongoing leaking blackmail and leak saga, and a great deal of gamer trepidation, Rockstar Games has finally, at last, revealed a solid look at Grand Theft Auto VI. This reveal was unique, exclusively premiering on Netflix of all places on August 27th, with a six hour delay before it was then available to the public via YouTube and the game’s official website.
A Release Date Trailer For 'Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2' Has Been Revealed
Revealed as the game’s big bad in a YouTube trailer and a Warhammer Community article, the community was one for one big surprise: Vashtorr’s theme, “Ascent of the Arkifane,” has been composed by the legendary Mick Gordon, best known to thousands of fans for his work on the soundtracks to modern games in the Doom and Wolfenstein franchises.
'Doomsday' And 'Dune 3' Presales Setting Records Already
Meanwhile, the apparent success of Warner Bros. Dune: Part Three has to be measured on a different scale, as the ticket presales available at this time are for just 38 theatres which will be showing the film’s IMAX 70mm cut.
Comic Review: 'Marvel Star Wars: Inquisitors (2024)'
Pros and Cons Inquisitors is a mixed bag as a series, initially promising interesting interactions and character insights with the Inquisitors through their encounters with Tensu and his allies, and with each other and the wider galaxy. However, for as fearsome as they present in dynamic panel moments, and as devious and cunning they appear, they are repeatedly bested and humiliated.
'Ahsoka' Season 2 Trailer Dropped At D23 Studio Showcase Panel
Meanwhile, on Peridea, the trailer kept things a little more vague, but showed us a clear look at further flashbacks into Ahsoka’s past with Anakin, specifically a strange incident in a snowy forest where it appears she and Anakin might have taken down a Jedi gone rogue during the Clone Wars. The Jedi’s extremely unique lightsaber, both for its pale cyan color, and for having dual handgrips but a separated middle section with the blade running through the middle, has also garnered some interest.
D23 Unveils More 'Star Wars: Starfighter' News
Aside from this reveal, Gosling also showed off the back of a jacket with potential significance to his character. Made of black fabric with white design details in faux-spray-paint style, it shows an upside down Rebel Alliance Starbird with two crossed blaster rifles beneath.
New 'Game Of Thrones: War For Westeros' Gameplay Revealed
In the short YouTube clip meant to hype up the game’s first gameplay reveal at Opening Night Live at Gamescom 2026, we see Lannister soldiers arrayed for battle against their foes, only to be devastated by the swooping form of a fire-breathing dragon (likely as part of Daenerys’ faction).
'Star Wars' And 'Marvel' Crossover Comic Event Penned By Kevin Smith
The five issue miniseries, set to begin in January of 2027, is being written by Kevin Smith, while the artwork is being done by David Marquez. Various behind-the-scenes figures spoke to the potential and magic possible with this crossover, while Kevin Smith stated the following: “Back in the early 80’s, I had a subscription to Marvel’s Star Wars comics.
Henry Cavill Is Also Involved In A 'Warhammer 40k' Animated Show
Further details are limited at this time, aside from a quote from Wilson thanking Games Workshop and Amazon for allowing him to tell further stories in this universe, while underlining that Secret Level was conceived as “a launchpad for larger stories.” Considering one of those stories featured the now long-dead Concord, it seems likely Warhammer’s expansion is to be the only spin-off effort undertaken by Amazon for a while.
The 'Game Of Thrones' Play Did Not Have An Easy Opening
Bet you didn’t know the Game of Thronesfranchise had a major theatre production in the works! CultureSlate didn’t realize this either, but it is true, in yet another example of a successful franchise moving from the small screen to the stage for exploring important elements of their universe. Yet in this case, the biggest piece of news so far for Game of Thrones: The Mad King is how rough of an opening it had.
'Star Wars' Is Coming To 'Dungeons & Dragons'
We’d probably be looking at players being able to choose from perhaps a dozen or so species known to the Star Wars galaxy, alongside several professions as classes, before a range of abilities and more help augment characters. Jedi, Dark Side Acolytes, and hopefully even Nightsisters could help serve as the “magic users” in this setting.
'Star Wars' Book Review: 'Legacy'
We’ll have to end discussion of the novel there, as it is difficult to delve into the novel’s B-plot without spoilers. The same is true of the novel’s few faults, which perhaps come down more to personal taste than overt flaws. However, the result is still an excellent Star Wars novel, an excellent Sequel Trilogy story, and a deep exploration of several female characters in vastly different times of their lives.
Lucasfilm Publishing Reveals New Releases At San Diego Comic-Con
If one is a fan of all-ages comics, the SDCC panels had a lot for you, while fans of novels only really got one new reveal. While this reveal is substantial and exciting, helping to fill in a major gap in canon storytelling, the void of solid teases of the future leaves us gravely concerned for Star Wars publishing. Next year is a major, significant, milestone, and all we have so far are a handful of books, and no teases for what the future holds.
'Star Wars Zero Company' Answers Questions In Their First Q&A
Lastly, the blog mentioned that the collector’s edition will have more news revealed about it on “the weekend” which almost certainly means Saturday, July 25th. This is the day of BitReactor’s San Diego Comic-Con panel discussing Zero Company with the game’s cast of voice actors. While they state “We look forward to announcing our full cast in the lead up to San Diego Comic-Con.”, as of the time of writing, there doesn’t appear to be any further announcements about the cast.
'Star Wars' Book Review: 'Eyes Like Stars'
But to end on some of the novel’s shortcomings, for as much as the story seeks to confront, or discuss, the nature of the happily ever after or the myths built around certain people or events, those critiques have some flaws when considering ELS itself. The novel isn’t massively hypocritical or directly contradicts itself, but certain characters lack exploration that detracts from this messaging.
'Avengers: Doomsday' Trailer Is Finally Here
After much anticipation, Avengers: Doomsday has released a major trailer in time to also announce that tickets are on sale for the winter blockbuster. Featuring a wide cast of characters coming together to stand against the threat of Doom, a mysterious voice begins the trailer and speaks of a coming threat. Many have guessed this voice may be Robert Downey Jr.’s Doom speaking, but if so, what is he speaking about and to whom?
The New Jedi Order Should Not Be Inspired By The Protestant Reformation
Star Wars has always combined elementsfrom across the worldfor its storytelling, be it cultures or history, sometimes creating awkwardly mixed metaphors, and other times creating a unique commentary or synthesis of elements that results in something new.
'The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes' / 'Avengers Assemble' Retrospective
For two shows with substantially different visual styles, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Avengers Assemble should still be seen as something of a package deal. They help represent a pattern of animation for Marvel’s heroes and villains, and also represent how much those plans could shift as the MCU’s continued expansion saw efforts to align the small-screen projects with the big screen before the Disney+ streaming shows.
Will A24 Target The 'Backrooms' Community?
At least one user online has stated that their Backrooms-inspired content has been targeted for removal on behalf of A24, despite the fact that their creations are not linked to the 2026 film, and instead draw from the wider fandom around the concept. This event happened on Redbubble, and while the details are fairly opaque at this time, it still seems very in line with what movie studios intend to pursue with internet culture-derived media.
SDCC 2026 'Star Wars' Panels Revealed
Taking place on Saturday afternoon, “Bringing Star Wars Zero Company to Life: Meet the Cast Behind the Highly Anticipated Tactical Star Wars Game” is poised to introduce the VAs for the game’s various characters. While some have been discovered by internet detectives prior to this panel, this will be the first time the group is together on a stage discussing the project.
Worldwide Search For Team 7 Is On!
The creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, made his own statement in conjunction with this announcement, which featured a firm endorsement of the filmmaking process and positively appraised Cretton as the film’s director. Naruto, originally a manga and also recognizable from several anime and video game projects over the years, follows the adventures of the eponymous Naruto Uzumaki and his friends in the Ninja World.
The History Of The Galactic Civil War
Once again thrust into recovery mode, the Alliance sought resources and alliances, particularly from the galactic underworld even as considerable criminal-based conflict spread across the galaxy. Spurred on by the machinations of Qi’ra and the returned Crimson Dawn, the roiling underworld and its manipulations allowed the Rebels to put an end to Zahra and regain its footing.
Author Of 'Children Of Blood And Bone' Says She Will Not Watch The Movie She Wrote And Produced
The long and winding road to an adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone can add another event to its lengthy timeline. While the film is still set to premiere on January 15, 2027, the novel’s author has recently chosen to publicly distance herself from the project through a series of posts on TikTok.
Why Are There So Few Droid Characters In 'The High Republic'?
Anonymous, mass-produced droids also play largely antagonistic roles, through serving the Nihil or the aggressors of Phase 2, closely fitting their role in the Prequel Trilogy. Droids in The High Republic were, therefore, in the roles they have often occupied in Star Wars, and that was deemed sufficient in terms of their inclusion. Conclusion Regardless of the reason, the presence of droids is still lesser in The High Republic than many other areas of Star Wars.
New 'Warhammer' Reveals In Big Summer Preview
The Aeldari, meanwhile, got a new unit through the Warhammer Killteam game format, and it fulfills a long-held fan request among the community: the Exodites are now getting represented on the tabletop. Aeldari living apart from the advanced technology of their cousins in the Asuryani or Drukhari, Exodites also live closer to nature on pristine paradise worlds, and ride atop great reptilian beasts.
DC Studios And Warner Brothers Animation Working On 'Absolute Batman' Series
DC seeking an adaptation of Absolute Batman so quickly is a surprise, but it remains in line with their projects over the years to adapt many of their most notable comic storylines, particularly Batman storylines, into the animated medium. This new effort will involve the comic’s creative team, as writer Scott Snyder will be an executive producer and showrunner alongside Nick Dragotta as a producer. Described as a fully CG show by Warner Bros.
New Information On 'Star Wars: Galactic Racer' Released
Lastly, there is the game’s surprising rouge-like element, Kotaku and Polygon both referencing the series Slay the Spire as a close equivalence. This is accurate, since players will need to fight their way through a series of branching paths to reach the end of their time racing on a particular planet. Peppered with different challenges, each path also sets players to push themselves at certain points, as Eliminator races will knock them out if they place too low.
'Toy Story 5' Has Massive Opening Weekend, Sets Franchise Best
Such considerable success is sure to dissuade Disney’s possible concerns about future theatrical releases for animated films following some recent stumbles, particularly in association with the Toy Story brand. Lightyear, released in 2022, had lackluster financial returns and a mixed reception but seemingly had little negative impact on fans of the franchise, while Disney Animation projects like Elio saw muted financial returns and similarly mixed responses.
Andrea Shea Promoted To Senior Editor At DC Comics
Andrea Shea’s new role as a senior editor means that they will likely be put in charge of a specific area of the DC universe, as the company divides their senior editors between handling a cluster of titles (ongoing comics) as they relate to a specific character.
The Planetary Classifications Of 'Warhammer 40K': From Death Worlds To Crone Worlds
Fortress Worlds are epicenters of the Imperium’s military industrial complex. They feature extensive orbital defenses and facilities, alongside immense planet-side defenses. Designated as lynchpins in protective military deployments designed to repel Xenos and Chaos forces, the destruction of Fortress Worlds can be calamitous to the Imperium.
'Warhammer 40K' Book Reviews: 'Ahriman: Eternal' & 'Ahriman: Undying'
As a pair of novels likely wrapping up Ahriman’s story for the foreseeable future in events before the modern setting of 40K, Eternal and Undying pit the sorcerer against a new cast of enemies, which results in unique outcomes and allows for some fabulous and detailed writing.
The Death Of Hutt Power After The Galactic Civil War
In the end, such double-crossing backfired on the Twins. Despite their vast droid security force, and hiring one of the best bounty hunters of the Clone Wars to be their protectors, the Twins were soundly defeated, and killed in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
