Star Wars Outlaws is Ubisoft's best game and you should get it now it's cheap
A reader is disappointed to hear that Star Wars Outlaws will not be getting a sequel but recommends the original now that it's heavy discounted. I'm sure if I was in charge of Ubisoft I'd blame Star Wars itself for the failure of Outlaws, but I really don't think that's fair. I doubt they honestly think that season 3 of The Mandalorian being bad is the real reason for its failure, but I'm sure it didn't help so it's a convenient scapegoat that shifts the blame away from them. Either way I'm very upset to hear that there won't be a Star Wars Outlaws 2. I think there's a couple of reasons for the game's failure but it's a real shame because I think it's Ubisoft's best game of recent years and definitely better than Assassin's Creed Shadows, Far Cry 5, and any of their other games I've played lately. It's not massively different from their usual open world formula but it's got a lot of small things it does better, that really should have made it be a bigger hit. Although perhaps, and this is fair enough, it was just too little too late and by that point everyone had just had enough of it all. In terms of the Star Wars aspect of it all, I think the problem was that, as GC said, when you have Star Wars without Jedi it can just seem like a generic sci-fi adventure. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but I don't feel they pushed the Star Wars aspects as much as they could and the aliens were definitely underused in terms of making everything feel different but also familiar. I think everything to do with Jabba the Hutt worked the best and that's because it looked and felt the most like the movies. The bigger problem was that none of the main characters were that interesting. They had all that behind the scenes footage of the actress being all bubbly and excited but in the game she's just kind of quiet and a bit dull. She is absolutely not the female equivalent of Han Solo and her pet and that unlikeable robot friend is not a good stand-in in for Chewie.

But really, that's relatively minor stuff. It's not like I particularly liked any of the characters in Assassin's Creed Shadows or Far Cry 5 either, and at least Outlaws had multiple different planets (Tatooine is amazing). What Outlaws does better than the average open world game though is that it combines its side quests and its skill tree together so that instead of doing random fetch quests you're actually working to unlock new skills and upgrades, which really makes a difference in terms of things not feeling like busywork. The open world is well designed and there's plenty of variety, with shooting, driving, stealth, and spaceship combat. And the best thing? It's not 100+ hours long. I don't think it would be even if you did everything, but you can definitely beat the main story in less than 20 hours, which for me is a definite plus. Not only does it mean I can beat it in the same year I start it, but it means the game never outstays its welcome, which all the Assassin's Creed games always do. More Trending There's never going to be another one but you can get it dirt cheap at the moment and I believe it's also coming to Nintendo Switch 2. I'd definitely check it out, as it's much better than its reputation and it's sad we're never going to get another one.

LEGO Star Wars Still Lingers at Prime Day Price With the Millennium Falcon, Last Chance If You Missed It
Few movie ships stir up excitement like the Millennium Falcon. Seeing Han Solo's famously scruffy freighter zip across the screen still gives fans a little jolt, and building a brick version gives that feeling a place on your shelf. The Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon 25th Anniversary set turns the fastest hunk of junk into a hands-on weekend project that sparks nostalgia and looks great when the last piece clicks into place. See at Amazon Head over to Amazon to get the Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon 25th Anniversary Collectable Model for just $68, down from its usual price of $85. That's a discount of $17 and 20% off. The box holds a tidy stack of numbered bags and a full-color instruction book that leads you step by step, so even first-time builders feel confident. Instead of racing through, you get to slow down, sort pieces, and watch the Falcon take shape layer by layer. Rounded plates form the classic saucer shape, simple side panels create the two front mandibles, and a printed dish pops on top to finish the look most people recognize from a mile away. When the final brick lands, the model stands about the length of a paperback novel, small enough for a bookcase but large enough to catch the eye. Building can be a solo project or a shared moment. Parents can clip pieces together with kids while older siblings dig for parts in the pile, giving everyone a role. Because the model rests on its own display stand, you never have to worry about tiny feet knocking it off a table. A printed nameplate sits right under the nose, so guests know exactly what ship is parked in your living room. Collectors will like the subtle anniversary badge on the box, noting twenty-five years of Lego Star Wars kits. It is a simple nod that turns the set into a little time capsule, a nice touch if you are adding to a growing fleet or gifting it to someone who saw the first film in theaters. For newer fans, the model works as a quick history lesson, showing the design that kicked off decades of star-hopping adventures. Whether you want a satisfying build, a desk decoration, or a present for the Star Wars devotee in your life, this Falcon is an easy win. The set is still available for $68 at Amazon, a welcome drop from the regular $85 price. Feeling like putting together some Legos? This is one kit you'll love to work with. See at Amazon

LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Joins Early Prime Day Deal, and It's a 25th Anniversary Collectible Model
To Luke Skywalker, it's a piece of junk. To Lando Calrissian, it's a poker hand gone bad. To Han and Chewie and every Star Wars fan alive, the Millennium Falcon is an icon, and now to LEGO Star Wars enthusiasts, it's a beautifully detailed displayable model aimed at adults age 18 and up. It's also a great deal at Amazon, where you can get this advanced 921-piece rendition of the Millennium Falcon for just $68 as part of the ongoing celebration of LEGO Star Wars' 25th anniversary. The LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon A New Hope 25th Anniversary Collectible Model normally sells for $85, but this Amazon deal taking 20% off the price is the perfect opportunity for adult Star Wars fans of any age to relive their LEGO-building youth, and then have an impressive collectible and conversation piece to proudly display. See at Amazon We're used to LEGO sets showing incredible attention to detail, especially the LEGO Star Wars ones, but these 25th anniversary collectible models take it to a whole new level. Make no mistake, these aren't playable toys loaded with mini-figures and spring-action guns firing little projectiles — these are advanced buildable kits. The Falcon has 921 pieces that come together to form a faithful rendition of the famous ship at 5 by 9.5 by 7.5 inches in size. It's not huge, but the detail is incredible. All the familiar parts of the ship — the cockpit, the huge rear engine that throws it into hyperdrive (when it works; Luke may have had a point), cannons, and more — are represented, along with a specially designed stand with a LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon nameplate and special LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary brick denoting its rare collectible status. The stand allows you to pose the Falcon at dynamic angles so it looks like it's in action, making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. The extraordinary nostalgic power of Star Wars is bigger than ever nearly 50 years after the release of the first movie in 1977, so the legions of adult fans almost certainly surpasses that of the kid generation. The LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary kits are aimed squarely at those adult fans, who get the chance to enjoy the relaxation of spending time building these kits and then savoring the approving comments once they're finished and displayed. There are dozens of adult-oriented LEGO Star Wars kits available as part of this anniversary celebration, from Jabba's Sail Barge to large, realistic helmets of Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and others. But we're partial to the Millennium Falcon, the centerpiece of so much of the lore of the Star Wars universe, especially when Amazon's selling it for 20% off — just $68. See at Amazon

From Star Wars to Avengers Endgame: 7 costliest films ever made
Films where ambition met sky-high budgets to deliver pure cinematic spectacle. JJ Abrams revived a galaxy far, far away with the 2015 reboot that bridged generations. Returning icons like Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) met new heroes Rey, Finn, and villain Kylo Ren. The Force clearly needed deep pockets. Dino drama went mega-budget in this Chris Pratt-led sequel. With cutting-edge CGI and action-packed chaos, this 2018 film took prehistoric thrill to a pricey new level — but audiences couldn't look away. The grand finale of the Skywalker saga came with an epic budget. Resistance fighters, dark forces, and legacy heroes collided in this 2019 conclusion, starring Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, and Mark Hamill. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley may have jumped ship, but Johnny Depp held the anchor. Paired with Penélope Cruz, this fourth installment banked on exotic visuals, mythical quests, and a mind-blowing budget. The Avengers reassembled for a second time to battle the rogue AI Ultron. This 2015 Marvel spectacle brought together Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, and more — with sky-high production costs to match the superpowers. Marvel's crown jewel. Endgame wasn't just a movie, it was a global moment. Iron Man's ultimate sacrifice, Thor's transformation, and the final stand against Thanos all played out in a production that left no expense spared — and no fan dry-eyed. James Cameron once again raised the stakes — and the budget — with this long-awaited sequel to Avatar. With groundbreaking underwater visuals and immersive world-building, the film went on to gross $2.3 billion globally, proving sometimes, big risks pay off bigger.
