We’ve got a cool promo video that was tweeted by the Star Wars Twitter promoting the digital release of the final chapter in the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, as well as its upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray release. The video shows many of the Jedi characters who were speaking to Rey as she was honing the energy she needed in the final battle scene in the film.

Not only did the sequence include the voices of Jedi from past Star Wars movies, like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Qui-Gon Jinn, J.J. Abrams also integrated characters from the animated TV shows like Ahsoka Tano and Kanan Jarrus.

In the movie, we got to hear their voices, and we recognized them, for the most part, the first time around. But it’s cool to hear them again and see their faces along with their voices. Check it out below, enjoy, and pick up your digital copy of The Rise of Skywalker today!

TRIALS OF MANA Now Has a Playable Demo

We’re a little more than a month away from the release of Trials of Mana! This is a pretty highly anticipated game this year as it is a remake of the sequel to the very popular game Secret of Mana from the early 1990s. Well, fans can now download a demo of the game for free on their system of choice and start getting a head start in the game. All progress can be continued in the full game when it releases, so there’s no reason not to try it out.

In Trials off Mana, you’ll be able to create a party of three characters out of six possible ones. If you’re unsure which characters you want in your party, Square Enix has put together a little personality quiz to help you know which characters you’d mesh well with. In addition, you’ll get avatar portraits for taking the quiz.

Trials of Mana will be available for Nintendo Switch, PC, and PS4 on April 24.

SEVEN DEADLY PLAGUES Adds New Diseases for Your DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Game

The unofficial Dungeons & Dragons Malady Codex supplement series by Jason Bakos and Themis Paraskevas has a new entry: Seven Deadly Plagues. This is a supplement that is either perfectly or poorly timed given the current state of the world, but the creators have expressed that this was not released in response to what is going on, but the project has been in the works for several months and it’s just a coincidence.

In Seven Deadly Plagues, you’ll find seven new plagues to curse your players and your world with such as the Plague of Gases. This plague forces Exhaustion on creatures, reductions to Intelligence checks, and more. There are seven of these plagues and they’re all fantastic for a new kind of obstacle for your adventuring party to overcome.

You can purchase Seven Deadly Plagues from DMs Guild for $4.95.
