When I Died on Game of Thrones: The Failed Mastermind
In honor of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, IGN is taking a look back at some of the iconic characters who’ve fallen along the way, and the lasting impact they had on the story. These heroes and villains may not have made it to the end of the road, but their lives weren’t in vain – they stand as a fitting reminder that when you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die.
Petyr Baelish might have come from nothing, but for a long time he was one of the likeliest contenders to end up sitting on the Iron Throne. As master manipulator whose allegiances were never set in stone — not even when it came to his love of Catelyn Stark — he was single-minded in his pursuit of power.
The Game of Thrones House Scorecard
In the first season of Game of Thrones, Cersei Lannister warned that, “when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.” The HBO series will end this year in its eighth season, meaning we will soon know who ends up on the Iron Throne (if anyone) and who dies trying.
In anticipation of the end, we went back to the beginning of the series to score how the houses progressed season by season. We included every Westerosi house which (at some point) held a wardenship or (at some point) sat on a throne… foreign or otherwise.
The houses were given points for every living character loyal to them. They received an additional point if those characters possessed magic. They also gained a point for every army they controlled. Bonus points were awarded if a house made progress from the previous season or if they did something awesome (like killing an annoying child king). No house has scored higher than twenty throughout the series so far.

Marvel’s Star Wars Series Takes New Creative Direction
The Marvel Comics ongoing Star Wars series will take a new creative direction when writer Greg Pak (Planet Hulk) and artist Phil Noto (Star Wars: Chewbacca) take over with July’s Issue #68. The first adventure under this new creative team will see the main cast split up into teams to track down some Imperial probe droids sent to different parts of the galaxy. According to Pak, Luke and R2-D2 will pair off in a story that will have a Western feel, while Han and Leia’s quest will have a gangster movie vibe. There will also be a more unlikely pairing when Chewbacca teams with C-3PO.
Check out the cover to Star Wars #68 by Noto.

Star Wars Rebels Creator on Ezra’s Fate and the Series’ Legacy
Warning! FULL SPOILERS for all of Star Wars Rebels ahead!
At Star Wars Celebration 2019, Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni was joined by Taylor Gray (Ezra Bridger), Vanessa Marshall (Hera), and Tiya Sircar (Sabine Wren) for a heartfelt look back on the series, which wrapped up its four-season arc back in 2018. And while it was nice to hear stories about the good old days, the question on everyone’s mind – including the cast – was, where is Ezra?
In case you forgot, Ezra sacrifices himself during the series finale (“Family Reunion – and Farewell”) in order to save the crew of the Ghost from the clutches of Thrawn and his soldiers. The last time we see Ezra, the young Jedi uses his strong connection to the force and summons a large group of Purrgil – space whales that can travel through hyperspace – to defeat Thrawn’s blockade. Shortly after their engagement with Thrawn’s forces, the Purrgil jump to hyperspace to an unknown location with Thrawn and Ezra in their possession. So, where did they go?
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Is Not A Stealth Game
With Star Wars Celebration Chicago giving us the first trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and a panel presentation full of new details, IGN’s Brian Altano sat down to talk with the game developers to learn more about what to expect.
You can hear the full interview by watching the video above, but one detail in particular that stood out is how it will be an action adventure game with no stealth elements. With the game trailer featuring Jedi hero Cal running scared after Order 66 and wearing a hood to stay hidden, laying low by not using his Force powers, and repeating the phrase “Don’t stand out,” it certainly paints the picture of a game where stealth elements would be in the mix, but game director Stig Asmussen from Respawn explained that there will be no stealth mechanics in favor of emphasizing lightsaber and Force-power combat.
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Release Date Announced
After a couple of teases, EA and Respawn Entertainment have finally revealed the first details about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, including its release date and on what platforms players can expect it.
EA has given Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order a release date of November 15, 2019, and it will be released on Xbox One, PS4, and PC via EA Origin. As Respawn, the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends, and EA announced in the hours leading up to the panel, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a single-player game with no multiplayer elements or microtransactions.
