A labor of love that’s three years in the making, the remake/parody features sets that have taken upwards of six months to create in some cases. Now, Paradise Decay has released a new trailer, called the “Breath Trailer,” taking inspiration from the “Breathing” trailer for Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
Once completed, the fan project will require viewers to sync the Minecraft recreation with the audio from the original 1977 version of the film, to avoid copyright infringement on YouTube.
One of the most tantalizing distractions in Star Wars Outlaws is the Jet Kordo Holodiscs. After you find your first one and gain access to the Holotracker early on in the game, you will be teased with a hidden treasure from this legendary scoundrel that is just waiting to be looted. Unlock other treasures that you can just lockpick, Jet put a bit more thought into keeping his loot hidden from anyone unworthy of it. You will need to find six individual vaults across the galaxy before you can get the big score at the end, but it will all be worth it. If you're having trouble locating each vault, we'll put an X on your map so you can go right to them.
Jet Kordo rewards
After you've collected all the loot from the vaults and returned to Toshara, you can claim your last reward.
Labor Day: Lego Star Wars, Minecraft, Mario, more on sale at Walmart
As you may know, holidays are a great time to pick up a new Lego set as they typically go on sale. Walmart, in particular, tends to be a great place to do a big Lego set pickup. This year, for Labor Day sales, we're noticing that Walmart has a smaller selection of items for sale than on a typical holiday, but many of them are of exceptional high quality and on fun sets with quirky ideas. Here are the deals to check out from Walmart's Labor Day Lego sale.
Lego Star Wars Boba Fett's Starship Microfighter — $7, was $10
Want a quick gift pickup for a child? This is it. An excellent introduction to building Lego sets, this kit includes a small ship and Boba Fett figurine. It totals at 85 pieces, which is enough to play with even if the child isn't able to make the ship 100% perfectly. They'll also get to use their imagination, customizing the ship with their other Lego pieces or making modifications to make the Boba Fett ship of their dreams. This kit is incredibly cheap right now and perfect for the Star Wars fan aged 6 and up.
One small Star Wars Outlaws moment gets autism representation right
While playing through the first few hours of Star Wars Outlaws, I found myself once again presented with an all-too-familiar trope. ND-5, the game's primary droid crewmate to Kay Vess, appeared to be yet another autism-coded droid that is typically played for laughs or treated as "other" by the main cast.
He is introduced as a stoic and serious character who appears to have no sympathy for anything but his mission. Once he and Kay officially team up, he is given the role of the straight man. Kay will quip and make ironic or sarcastic comments that ND-5 responds to with sincerity. Whenever she asks a question, he delivers his honest answer without cushioning the blow if it would be insulting. In times when Kay wants to act based on emotion, he counters with cold logic. Generally speaking, these are all common traits those on the autism spectrum present.
