Star Wars VR ‘Trials on Tatooine’ Free for HTC Vive
The Star Wars VR experience Trials on Tatooine will be free for HTC Vive owners from 18th July, 2016.
The experience has been developed under the guidance of Lucasfilm's chief technology officer, Rob Bredow, and is co-written by Bredow and long-time Star Wars canon-keeper Pablo Hidalgo.
Trials on Tatooine is a first-person experience set after the events of Return of the Jedi, with players assuming the role of Luke Skywalker's Jedi apprentice. It features some basic lightsaber combat, but is more pitched as an immersive Star Wars experience than a traditional game.
IGN played the game at GDC earlier this year, and you can read more about our experience right here.
Maul Holds all the Cards in Star Wars Rebels: Season 3
Straight from its debut at Star Wars Celebration, IGN has a new clip for you from Star Wars Rebels: Season 3, showing Maul -- don't call him Darth Maul anymore! -- is back and seemingly holding all the cards.
In this scene, which doesn't take place in the Season 3 premiere episode shown at Celebration but rather in a later episode, Maul (voiced by Sam Witwer) greets Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and Ezra (Taylor Gray), though it's clear that there is no true alliance between them. In fact, Maul has put Kanan and Ezra's friends in danger and has very specific plans regarding what will happen to the blinded Jedi and his Padawan.
Star Wars Rebels: Season 3 debuts this fall.

Grand Admiral Thrawn Is Now Star Wars Canon
Grand Admiral Thrawn is once again a part of the official Star Wars canon.
The trailer for Season 3, shown at Star Wars Celebration 2016 in London, confirmed inclusion of the iconic Expanded Universe villain.
The character first appeared in Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy of novels (1991-1993), but was placed under the Star Wars Legends banner (non-canonical story) on April 25, 2014, when Lucasfilm trimmed back the Expanded Universe in preparation for the upcoming sequel trilogy, beginning with The Force Awakens.

Zoe Saldana Is All in For Avatar 2, 3, 4 and 5
With obligations to both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Star Trek film franchise as well as young twin sons to raise, you might think actress Zoe Saldana would be a little less than enthusiastic at the prospect of spending the next several years shooting not one but four sequels to Avatar down in New Zealand -- but you'd be wrong. The actress is very excited to return to the world of Pandora and to the set of a director, James Cameron, whom she holds in great personal regard.
"Yes, he promised me that I am
. I made him promise me," Saldana told IGN during a one-on-one chat last week to promote Star Trek Beyond. "I love it. I was a part of something super-duper special that wasn’t revamped or anything, that was created by someone’s utopian mind, just like a Gene Roddenberry
