There’ll be a new trailer aired with the premiere of Warehouse13 on SciFiSyFY. But those lovely, sneaky folks at GateWorld already have it. (It looks great! Um. Sorry.) Plus, the first official episode picture. It’s akin to the sonogram, I suppose?
In addition, we know that the cast will be making their official debut at ComicCon on Friday. (Cruel choice for those who are also Star Wars fans. Thankfully my dislike of crowds keeps me from being put into that position.)
And just what is the official site doing behind that “under construction” sign?
Because we have a Star Wars schedule. The Clone Wars, The Old Republic and the Fate of the Jedi (with all three authors!) panels are all on Friday. And so is the Star Wars Spectacular, which basically means that all the ‘breaking news’ from it will already be public by the time it’s shown on G4. Nice, by which I mean something unprintable.
Havac on TheForce.Net boards spotted this zombierific poster. Since a tie-in with the MMO is planned, this isn’t totally out of the blue. Check out the poster beneath the cut.
The full list of games being released on July 8 contains some classic graphic adventures, and some more recent action titles:
Armed and Dangerous
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
LOOM
Star Wars Battlefront II
Star Wars Republic Commando
Star Wars Starfighter
The Dig
Thrillville: Off the Rails
This is only the first batch of classic LucasArts games to be released – and noticeably some popular game franchises are absent, possibly to be re-released in future batches: Maniac Mansion, X-Wing, Dark Forces, and Grim Fandango. No pricing information is yet available.
Meanwhile, the new Monkey Island game from Telltale Games, has its first episode coming out tomorrow, Tales of Monkey Island – Chapter 1: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal for PC. The Wii version will be released in the coming weeks.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was also included as a bonus game in the Wii version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, released in June 2009.
The second Fate of the Jedi book has, like its predecessor, staked out spots on the various bestseller lists. It comes it at #32 on USA Today, #3 on Publisher’s Weekly, and last but by no means least, #5 on the almighty New York Times. (via)
For the Americans, have a safe and happy Fourth, and remember, if you must blow stuff up, at least be safe about it: We don’t want to give any stray Jedi a headache. For our international friends, a stormtrooper with a bubble wand, which is legal, festive, and appropriate for all outdoor occasions. (Photo by rmkooi at Flickr.)
