You could spend your whole life jumping from ‘Star wars’ product to ‘Star wars’ product and You would never run out of anything to read, watch or play. Between novels, comics, series and video games, the Expanded Universe (both the current one and the one that is no longer canon) expands without limits. In particular, since Apple -yes, that Apple- launched a video game without a license in 1978 until today We have been able to play more than a hundred long titles. The last one arrives just today: ‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’. And he does it at the hands of Mark Hamill himself.
An advertisement the mark of fun
In the announcement of the game we have Cameron Monaghan, who plays Cal Kestis, the game’s protagonist, learning to use the Force along with the primal jedi, Mark Hamill, who gives him lightsaber tips like “You’re not playing baseball” and tries to train him by throwing popcorn at him. “You know I don’t really have the Force, right?”he says, before BD-1, Kestis’s accompanying robot, berates him. Without excuses.
But the best part of the ad is when Hamill discovers that the actor, clad in a motion capture suit, is You can use two lightsabers. Well, technically one that can be split in two. “I was never given two lightsabers,” the actor grumbles. Finally, the eternal Luke Skywalker learns to play the video game, but he doesn’t really need the Force explained to him. He is the Force after all.
Hamill denied his role in ‘Star wars’ for a while but for some time now he has embraced it as part of his life. It must be said that ‘Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’ is a sequel to ‘Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’from four years ago, and for the moment the critics are leaving it as a notable addition to the ‘Star Wars’ universe, but if you are more of lying down and not worrying about having to hit buttons, the second season of ‘Star Wars Visions’ will arrive on May 4 together with ‘Young Jedi Adventures’, followed by ‘Ashoka’ in August. You decide how much galaxy you can accept this year. May the Force be with you.
In Espinof | ‘Star Wars’ wants to return to the candor of the prequels but it seems to me that it does not know how to adapt to a cynical and overanalytical world
