Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Unfinished Episodes Now Online

You can't keep a good trooper down! If you weren't able to catch the Star Wars Celebration panel debuting never-before-seen story reels of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, you're in luck -- StarWars.com has released all four unfinished "Bad Batch" episodes online!

As IGN's own Eric Goldman described the arc, we "meet the Bad Batch of the title, a foursome -- Hunter, Tech, Crosshair and Wrecker -- of Clones who came out somehow malformed (like the Clone '99' we met once before), but were then mutated further into a squad of super soldier types, sent on especially dangerous missions."

Activision Support Says ‘Stay Tuned’ on Call of Duty for Wii U

When it was revealed that Black Ops III would be coming out later this year, the Wii U was conspicuously absent from the list of platforms.

One Twitter asked the official Activision support account why the ability to link Nintendo Network IDs was on the Call of Duty site if the game wouldn't be hitting Wii U. The response from support? "Stay tuned for more Wii U releases."

The Call of Duty website allows gamers to link their Nintendo Network ID, a move that fueled speculation at the beginning of April that the next Call of Duty would make an appearance on Nintendo's flagship console. The game is currently only slated to come to Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC.

During Microsoft's Build 2015 conference, the company showed off a fun new "How Old Do I Look?" tool that uses facial recognition software to determine your age and gender.

A quick glance at the #HowOldRobot hashtag on Twitter shows that tons of people are using the new tool not just for pictures of themselves, but for professional athletes, actors, cartoon characters, plates of food, and other, even more ridiculous things.

We decided to plug in some of our favorite characters from pop culture, including the Joker, the Hulk, and more. Here are the results.

Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 Premiere Date Announced

The Force will return to TV sooner than expected, as Lucasfilm and Disney HD have announced that Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 will debut on Saturday, June 20th at 9:00pm. Many had expected the show to return closer to when the first season began in the fall, but this year the show is moving up to a summer run.

Season 2 will begin with a one-hour episode, "The Siege of Lothal," which recently screened at Star Wars Celebration. I was able to see that screening and you can read my non-spoilery review now, but suffice to say, this is a jam-packed and very exciting premiere that will be of great interest to Star Wars fans.
