EA has updated its Star Wars Twitter account with a new Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order banner, as well as posting a cryptic tease for Respawn Entertainment’s upcoming game.
The tweet features an animated image depicting what appears to be the severed hilt of a weapon – perhaps a Lightsaber or some kind of vibro staff – laid on a stone surface engraved with runes.

Stand-up comedy is one of life’s greatest gifts. There is always an abundance of it and there is a comedian that speaks to everyone. Whether your sense of humor is broad or specific, high-brow or low-brow, there’s a stand-up special out there that will grab you and stay in your quotable vernacular for years.
While Comedy Central and HBO have long been known for breaking in new comedians with their stand-up specials, Netflix has recently entered the arena alongside their scripted programming. With less of a need to appeal to a large audience, the Netflix Original Stand-Up Specials are today’s best comedians being 100% themselves. Plus, they’ve got a wide variety of classic stand-up specials to supplement the laughs while you’re waiting for the new laughs to drop.

It’s hard to believe, but LEGO and Star Wars have been a pair for two decades now. Things were looking a little grim for the LEGO Group back in 1999. Not only was the world bracing for the tremendously overhyped Y2K, but sales of LEGO building sets had been in decline. All that changed, practically overnight, with the introduction of the first LEGO Star Wars sets on April 9, 1999.
To celebrate the monumental introduction of these incredible toys, LEGO stealth-released five all-new sets in honor of the 20th anniversary on April 1 in anticipation of the official anniversary date. With today being such an important day in LEGO history, why not join the festivities and bring home one of these awesome sets?
I never knew I wanted a pet bird, but Falcon Age made me care for its titular raptor like she were my own. Outerloop Games makes smart use of both gameplay and story to pull that off, despite running into some technical issues along the way. While this adventure is fully explorable on a good old-fashioned TV, it is absolutely more rewarding when experienced on PSVR thanks to a number of engaging interactions and control ideas.
Falcon Age’s frequently squawky sidekick is so handy it almost feels like a co-op game. You and your feathered friend explore a sparse but artistically striking desert landscape and take down refinery outposts of a colonizing power. With writing by 80 Days’ Meg Jayanth, Falcon Age explores a fascinating tale of reigniting a resistance that’s largely given up the fight. Rather than going big or grand with its events, the most intriguing moments come from small character interactions.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has often been regarded as the outlier of the Trek family of shows, a series that did things differently. It never had the same level of mainstream success as its predecessor, The Next Generation, and yet it has grown over the years to be regarded by many fans as perhaps the best of the Star Trek shows.
And now, a new documentary about the history of Deep Space Nine is heading to theaters. What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will be released by Fathom Events in more than 800 movie theaters in the U.S. on Monday, May 13. And IGN has the exclusive debut of the film’s trailer — watch it above!
Our first look at Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is days away, with an official reveal planned for Star Wars Celebration. The Celebration panel will take place on April 13, but ahead of that big event the studio and EA have updated the official site with a new look at the game’s logo, and dropped a clue on social media.
As you might expect, the new logo puts a heavy emphasis on the word “Jedi,” as the order of warrior-monks is one of the most enduring parts of Star Wars pop culture. One of the few details we know about Jedi Fallen Order is that you play as a Padawan–essentially a rookie Jedi–who survived the Emperor’s purge in Revenge of the Sith.
The EA Star Wars Twitter account also dropped its own teaser, which appears to show an image of a shrouded lightsaber and the phrase “Don’t stand out.” This is likely a reference to the story, in which the remaining Jedi have gone into hiding. This game is said to be set against a backdrop of a dark time for the galaxy, as the Emperor consolidates his power and hunts down the few remaining Jedi. We don’t have a name or other identifying information about the protagonist, so it’s difficult to say yet how this new story will tie into the main narrative of the saga.
Respawn’s Star Wars game is one of the last remaining in production that we know of from EA, after the publisher canceled Amy Hennig’s Star Wars game and then shuttering an open-world Star Wars project. Respawn itself is having a big year, not only with Jedi Fallen Order slated for this holiday season, but also with the surprise-hit Apex Legends.

It is known that there will be a massive battle scene in Game of Thrones Season 8, and now one of the actors who fights in it has described what it was like working on it.
John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tarly in the fantasy series, told Entertainment Weekly that director Miguel Sapochnik has a “forensic sense of detail.” As you may remember, Sapochnik also directed the Battle of the Bastards Season 6 epic fight sequence.
“[Director Miguel Sapochnik] has such a forensic sense of detail the way he can see the point of view of all these different characters in his head and know what each individual beat meansto them. It’s so inspiring,” Bradley said.
Bradley also shared an anecdote from filming the sequence. He said he got carried away while shooting the sequence and did things himself as an actor that Sam probably wouldn’t have.
“When doing these huge fight sequences, you get carried away sometimes. You want to make yourself look as good as possible. Miguel said to me, ‘I know that you want to show you’re quite good at this. But remember your character. Sam’s not that good at this,” Bradley said. “You have to play him because that’s what’s going to be truthful. So stop being so good!”
Go to EW to read the full interview.
The battle scene from Season 8 sees living characters like Sam, Jon Snow, Daenerys, Sansa, Arya, Brienne, and others fighting against the Night King as his army; it’s the showdown that’s been teased since the show started years ago. The battle is reportedly the “longest consecutive battle sequence ever committed to film,” eclipsing the 40-minute Helm’s Deep battle scene from The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers.
Filming the episode took 11 weeks of night shoots. According to a report, up to 750 people worked all night for almost three months in sub-freezing temperatures and enduring cold rain, mud, and heavy wind.
Game of Thrones returns for its eighth and final season April 14 on HBO.
