These little droids could cause a lot of trouble.

Disney recently showed off bipedal droids that look exactly like something you’d see in a Star Wars movie, and now Disney’s Imagineers are testing the droids at Disneyland, as reported by Disneyland News Today. I love them!!

Star Wars jizz is now called jatz.

In a galaxy far, far, away, jazz doesn’t exist. Instead, when you want to really blow on that horn you’re jizzing or jatzing. As AVClub recently noted, both words have technically been used to describe the musical stylings of the Star Wars universe over the years, with jizz gaining in popularity for extremely obvious reasons.

But in a recent short story collection based around Return of the Jedi characters, Max Rebo, the blue alien front man for the band that plays at Jabba the Hutt’s palace thinks back to other times he’s performed “jatz standards”. That means jatz is the official Disney-approved name for the music.

Wookiepedia, meanwhile, continues to embrace jizz.

Ahsoka touches down in Fortnite.

As promised when the new season launched, Star Wars heroine Ahsoka is now available in Fortnite (so long as you purchased the current battle pass). She has an adorable pet for back bling and her arrival also means the return of lightsabers to the battle royale island. The timing is also good: the penultimate episode of Ahsoka’s Disney Plus series is streaming tonight.

“Lock S-foils in attack position.”

Imagine owning Red Leader’s X-Wing. Not a starfighter, of course, but the actual miniature built and filmed by ILM for 1977’s Star Wars — with servo-controlled wings that really do swing into attack position.

The hero model was thought lost for 40+ years, but it’s now up for auction starting at $400K. It’s joined by “the most complete and best condition” Stormtrooper armor, an original Wah Chang Star Trek TOS tricorder, “one of only two hero Type-2 Phasers known to exist,” and Starfleet uniforms worn by Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scotty, and more.

Jabba’s beats to relax / study to.

When this “Nighttime at Jabba’s Palace” lo-fi soundtrack was shared in Slack, I made fun of it. But I’ve been listening to it for the past 30 minutes — it’s actually pretty good?

If you’re already done with that other Star Wars game, the galaxy far, far away has once again descended on Fortnite.

You can get all the details right here.

Fortnite’s latest character hates sand.

Another Star Wars character is joining the ranks of Fortnite’s battle royale. This time it’s Anakin Skywalker, who will be available in-game on May 2nd. Just watch out for players who have the high ground.

Jedi: Survivor is still the best Star Wars wish fulfillment

The sequel doesn’t do a lot new, and it’s still a mashup of other action-adventure games — but that’s easy to forget when you’re tossing stormtroopers around with your Force powers.

The Mandalorian’s season 3 finale didn’t need to answer every question

Rather than dotting every single i and crossing all of its t’s The Mandalorian spent its extremely adequate third season trying to forge new lore for lore’s sake.
