Pedro Pascal explains why Din Djarin is a different kind of bounty hunter in The Mandalorian and Grogu

Empire Magazine is celebrating the upcoming release of The Mandalorian series and the Grogu movie with a cover story in its new issue. The article features interviews with Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and Pedro Pascal, the latter of whom talks about how the Din Djarin we see in the new film differs from the character we saw previously.

In The Mandalorian's third season finale, Din Djarin agreed to take on missions for the New Republic, a drastic change from his previous adventures as a lawbreaker and bounty hunter. But Pascal assures fans that his character is still a bounty hunter, albeit with a completely different focus.

“This opens the door for him to continue his best work as a bounty hunter, but working for the benefit of the good guys,”

Pascal spoke at length about Din Djarin's status as a new type of bounty hunter in the film. “A combination of skill and morality. If the first time you meet him, it's just about skill, beskar and the [Mandalorian] Creed,” Pascal explained. "Through his relationship with Grogu, there is an expansion of his heart and a lifting of his armor, so to speak, which forces him to fight for what he believes is right."

Lost job developer alone makes dream game inspired by Star Wars 1313

Solo developer Ethan McKinnon has unveiled Riftwalker, a sci-fi action-RPG about a bounty hunter inspired by the never-released Star Wars 1313. The game is now available to add to the list desired on Steamand in just over a month I gained over 8,000 wishlists.

As the developer said on social networks, development began after he lost his job.

I'm a solo developer creating Riftwalker after being laid off. This path is my chance to move forward, and I am grateful to the community.

The canceled Star Wars 1313 was his main motivation - a dark, story-driven sci-fi bounty hunting game that the industry never got.

The release of Star Wars Outlaws on Game Pass helped the game a lot

The addition of Star Wars Outlaws to the Xbox Game Pass library in January 2026 performed a small miracle: the number of players in Ubisoft's sci-fi action game doubled.

According to GamePass, citing analyst data, 100 thousand people started the game in the first day of subscription alone. In total, since the title appeared on the service, about 595 thousand new users have joined it. This allowed the project to surpass Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and become the most popular new product in January.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 Legacy delivers impressive gameplay after 10 years in development

2005's Star Wars Battlefront 2 is considered the benchmark for multiplayer Star Wars games. If you're a longtime fan, you've probably been following the progress of the ambitious Battlefront 3 Legacy mod.

Fans are trying to implement the canceled Battlefront 3 using the engine of the original second part. Recently, a test took place of the multi-user version of the new build, which has been in development for almost ten years. Gameplay footage appeared on YouTube, amazing players.

Star Wars: Battlefront 3 Legacy - a project of fans for fans

Although the mod has been available for a long time, a new update will take it to the next level. The project is developed by a large team of dedicated enthusiasts and strives to give fans the multiplayer experience they deserve.

Initially, fans tried to save the shooter Star Wars Battlefront 3 from Free Radical Design, which was canceled shortly before all work was completed. The mod was created on the Battlefront 2 engine, which gives it an authentic look, but the interface has been updated.

The 2021 version of the mod is currently available, but a big update will be coming soon. The videos show gameplay on two new maps.

Darth Maul's brother will influence the events of the new Star Wars series

Darth Maul's brother, Savage Opress, died during the Clone Wars. However, he will have a non-obvious role in Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord.

After Maul was cut in half in The Phantom Menace, he was revealed to have survived and teamed up with his brother. Savage's life was cut short after Darth Sidious killed him in front of his brother. Chronologically, "Lord of Shadows" takes place one year after the Clone Wars, as a former Sith attempts to rebuild a criminal empire in a galaxy now under Imperial control.

In an interview with Star Wars Insider, Maul's voice actor Sam Witwer said that Savage puts a lot of pressure on the character. The villain even realizes that he failed his brother.

He examines himself and reflects on his brother, Savage Opress, his first student and family. Did he treat him as well as he should have, given Savage's loyalty? No. But now he finally appreciates it and realizes: “I failed him.”

New Star Wars footage about Darth Maul has been released

Darth Maul made his debut as a Star Wars villain back in 1999 in The Phantom Menace, and years later he is preparing to return in a solo animated series.

Last year at Star Wars Celebration, it became known that the animated series Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord was in development. The first trailer was released not so long ago, and now the publication Collider has presented a new shot.
