Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Release Date Announced
Update 4/14: IGN got to sit down with Respawn's Sitg Asmussen and Lucasfilm Story Group's Steve Blank to discuss Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order following its panel reveal.
Asmussen and Blank spoke to IGN about how, despite it's "on the run" setup, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order won't have stealth elements. You can also watch our full interview below.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to Feature Yoda and… Coke Products?
Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge theme parks will include some familiar characters like Hondo Ohnaka from Rebels and Rex from the original Star Tours ride, but one we didn’t expect was revealed during the Galaxy’s Edge panel at Star Wars Celebration Chicago: Yoda.
There will also be Coca-Cola products you can drink.
That’s right, as you’re immersed in the new planet Batuu set in the Star Wars universe and explore Black Spire Outpost where you can board a full scale Millennium Falcon and cross paths with an iconic Jedi master, you can also sip on some Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, or Dasani water but with the logos translated into the Star Wars language of Aurebesh so as to not break the illusion you're not actually in a galaxy far, far away.
How Does Jedi: Fallen Order Compare to Other Star Wars Games?
Star Wars isn't just one of the most famous movie franchises of all time, it's also inspired some of the best video games ever made -- and also a bunch of pretty bad ones. Like the eternal battle between good and evil space wizards, for every Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic there's a Masters of Teras Kasi; for every Jedi Knight II there's a Kinect Star Wars; and for every Star Wars: Battlefront II there's a Star Wars Battlefront II.
Now that we know how Jedi: Fallen Order stacks up against the pantheon of games from a galaxy far, far away, let's witness the power of the fully armed and operational video game-reviewing station that is IGN and look back at every time we've weighed in on a Star Wars game.
Star Wars’ The Mandalorian: Every Character We Know About So Far
The Star Wars franchise is finally making the jump to live-action TV this year.

This Fatal Game of Thrones Betrayal Still Stings
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.
Shae might've started out as a random prostitute intended to occupy Tyrion Lannister's final hours before a battle, but she grew into the love of the Imp's life (and Sansa Stark's seemingly loyal handmaiden) - despite all the dangers surrounding her at King's Landing. Her seeming devotion to Tyrion and Sansa made her shocking betrayal and subsequent allegiance with Tyrion's father all the more painful, especially when Tyrion found Shae in Tywin Lannister's bed.

Facebook Mistakenly Hid ‘Easter Egg’ Phrases in Oculus Touch Controllers
Facebook accidentally added some "easter egg" labels on tens of thousands of Oculus Touch controllers, including such phrases as "Big Brother is Watching" and "This Space For Rent."
Nate Mitchell, co-founder of Oculus and head of VR product at Facebook, took to Twitter to explain this issue and said that while he does "appreciate easter eggs, these were inappropriate and should have been removed."
These labels made it onto the internal hardware of the Oculus Touch VR controllers, with final production hardware saying "This Space For Rent" and "The Masons Were Here." Some dev kits were sent out, which were non-consumer units, and included the phrases "Big Brother is Watching" and "Hi iFixit! We See You!"

Horizon Zero Dawn Actress Says Sequel Is in Development
Janina Gavankar, who voiced Tatai in The Frozen Wilds DLC, may have spilled the beans on a potential sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.
Via a Reddit post from user ninjyte, Gavankar, who portrayed Iden Versio in Star Wars Battlefront II, was speaking with fans at Star Wars Celebration Chicago when she made the potential slip. A fan thanked Gavankar for introducing her to Horizon Zero Dawn, to which Gavankar replied “Just wait until you see the sequel, you’re gonna die. I know some secrets, you’re gonna die."
Though her character Tatai was only present in the game’s DLC, she did have an open narrative thread where she was headed to Sundom to learn how to harvest machines. Because of this continuation, Tatai could return in a sequel, meaning Gavankar may have some knowledge of its development. IGN has reached out to PlayStation for comment.
