Call of Duty: WWII (Reveal Trailer)

From Sledgehammer Games comes the next installment to the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: WWII.

I for one am excited to see the franchise heading back towards its roots and stop competing with the likes of Halo or Gears of War (granted Battlefield's last installment took us back to World War I).

While watching the reveal trailer (shown above) I almost forgot that this was for a video game and not a live action film.

Look for Call of Duty: WWII to land November 2017.

Star Wars Battlefront II Inferno Squadron Action Figure

Coming to a Gamestop near you (yes it's exclusive to Gamestop), here's Hasbro's new Black Series (6 inch) Inferno Squadron action figure inspired by the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront II video game.

The Inferno Squadron action figure was briefly up for Pre-order over at Gamestop.com but sadly has since become unavailable (however you are welcome to click here to check out the page for yourself).

Side Story - While waiting in line for the Hasbro panel at Star Wars Celebration Orlando, I informed the guy next to me that the preorder for the Inferno Squadron action figure was up and he went ahead and ordered five. Do we really need that many people? End of Side Story

Look for the Inferno Squadron action figure to soar onto Gamestop shelves around November when Star Wars Battlefront II is released.

Star Wars Battlefront II (Full Trailer)

Honestly what more can one say other than EA and DICE make gorgeous looking games? Star Wars Battlefront II is no exception here.

The battle is set to begin in November of 2017 and will span across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Star Wars Rebels Season 4 (Trailer)

After an exciting conclusion to Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, we are more than ready to strap in for Season 4.

Unfortunately, it will also be the last season for our beloved crew of the Ghost; the announcement came during the Star Wars Rebels Sneak Peek Star Wars Celebration Orlando panel.

Executive Producer Dave Filoni did inform the attendees that though Rebels is ending, this is not the end for Star Wars animation and that other products will be coming soon (possibly referring to Forces of Destiny among others).

Look for Star Wars Rebels to return later this Fall.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (Teaser Trailer)

The long awaited trailer for Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi landed at Star Wars Celebration Orlando back on Friday April 14 and it did not disappoint.

With shots of new planets, new ships, old and new fan favorites, and dialog for Mark Hamill, The Last Jedi teaser gave us all a little bit of everything.

Of course, for this fandom, we are never satisfied and we all now count the days until the full The Last Jedi trailer makes its way to our screens.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi opens December 2017.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando LEGO Exclusive Revealed

LEGO has finally revealed one of their Star Wars Celebration Orlando exclusives, Detention Block Rescue.

This set should be a quick build at only 220 pieces and comes with two good looking minifigures; Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper disguise.

Unfortunately this set comes with two drawbacks. First, it's priced at $40. Second, you have to enter the LEGO Lottery to even have a chance to enter the booth to purchase. (For more information on the LEGO Lottery click HERE)
