Rogue One A Star Wars Story Blu-ray, DVD Review

While most people follow the Star Wars story through the movies, the saga has also been told through novels, comics, cartoons, and video games. But while the two are often kept at arm’s length, the newest movie Rogue One A Star Wars Story — which is now available on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and DVD — is actually an exciting and engaging Star Wars movie that tells a story that would normally have been reserved for a book, graphic novel, or game. Too bad the Blu-ray and DVD aren’t as good as the movie.

Exclusive Interview: Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One X-Wing VR Mission Developers John Stanley & Kieran Crimmins

In honor of the upcoming movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the recent release of the PlayStation Virtual Reality headset, EA will release a VR-only add-on for the PlayStation 4 version of Star Wars Battlefront called Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One X-Wing VR Mission on December 6th (the same day the Rogue One: Scarif add-on is released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC editions of Star Wars Battlefront).

Developed by Criterion Games, this single-player mission casts you as a rookie Rebel pilot who flies their X-Wing into battle against The Empire in a mission that’s set around the time of, and narratively connected to, the movie. It even features an appearance by a certain someone from the film. Best of all, this short but super sweet add-on will be free. Well, assuming you own the PlayStation 4 version of Star Wars Battlefront. And a PSVR system. And you ask nicely.

In anticipation of the Star Wars Battlefront Rogue One X-Wing VR Mission‘s imminent release, EA invited some journalists (myself included) to their Los Angeles offices to play through the mission and then chat with Criterion Games’ Designer John Stanley and Art Director Kieran Crimmins.
