It’s taken a few months of testing, but at long last, it is here: the new layout for SWRPGGM.com. We hope you like it. This is the first major change to the layout since 2018, and it conforms to the latest widgets and coding available and should load faster for you. It should be easier to login and comment now as well. Please leave comments, we love to hear what you think.
A few new things we will be doing is weekly highlights on Star Wars News and Site News about what we have been up to.

Two years ago, Sigourney Weaver handed the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement to the filmmaker Paul Schrader. As she explains to us in a rare sit-down, she didn’t imagine that two years later she would be receiving the same accolade.
I’m playing a role in The Mandalorian & Grogu [which will be directed by Jon Favreau]. I got to meet Grogu for the first time the other day. I’m filming that before I go to London for The Tempest at the end of the year.
Site News
Star Wars Rebel Source Guide
It’s the tenth anniversary of Star Wars Rebels and we are celebrating with the Star Wars Rebels Source Guide. Our episode guide upload have begun and a very special thank you goes out to Emperor Ollie for his contributions. He spent hundreds of hours researching Star Wars Rebels and published two sourcebooks based on the series. We look to finish his hard work within our source guide. You’ll notice that each episode release will occur exactly ten years to the day the episode premiered, but don’t worry if you are looking for something in particular, as we will be posting articles related to Rebels weekly, so if you are looking for something, please let us know. We could always move something up on the schedule.
Young Jedi Adventures Season 2
The first batch of YJA Season 2 has dropped on Disney+ and we are hard at work reviewing the episodes and putting together articles and episode recaps for the series. As there were 17 episodes that were released, it is taking a bit of time to watch all of them and gather the information needed for The Young Jedi Adventures Source Guide. You find most of those episodes will start releasing weekly beginning September 22. While the series targets young children, a lot of Star Wars lore is being released within these episodes. It’s an easy series to watch and enjoyable.
Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws has been released, and we’ve released two Let’s Play episodes on our YouTube channel for those interested. We will release more episodes as our schedule allows. Set in the Star Wars universe between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the story follows Kay Vess, a young scoundrel who assembles a team for a massive heist to pay off a crime syndicate. The game is played from a third-person perspective, traversing an open-world environment and engaging in various activities.
That’s it for this week. We will be publishing more blog posts each week now that we have the new site layout published and our schedule opens back up. We hope you’ll stop by and see what we have in store for you. Until next time, MTFBWY!
