That long-awaited release of the first Battlefront game in ten years offered players the chance to storm the sands of Jakku. Two years later, we are on the precipice of the...
September 27th, 20172154Star Wars, since its inception, has had an affinity with trios and more commonly trilogies. Recently while listening to some audiobooks at work (how lucky am I?)
