- This week, we head back to "Star Wars, The Old Republic,"
refuse to stop celebrating Life Day, and more.
[EXCITING SYNTH MUSIC]

[COMPUTER BEEPS]
Oh!
Is that-- Well that's going to be a problem.
You never saw me here.
(WHISPERS) Just gonna--
[SLIDE WHISTLE]
[BEEPING]
[DRAMATIC WOOSH]
It's time to reveal last week's mustached Mando Mystery.
That's no hairy caterpillar about to get squished
by a pyramid, it is the magnificent mustache of the one
and only Moff Gideon, so much easier
to see when we take a few steps back and get the full picture.
Plus, check out that glow-in-the-Darksaber.
Snazzy.
Now, let's take a look at this week's Mando Mystery.
Shiny, black, vaguely Imperial-- this has all the makings
of a fearsome dark side user's lightsaber hilt,
or some boots made for stomping all over the New Republic.
Hey, maybe it's the underside of Darth Vader's helmet!
The mystery will reveal itself on Monday.
The official Star Wars app just released a new update
with a Mandalorian-inspired selfie frame
and a legion of LEGO stickers.
Picture yourself in the glow of a holopuck.
[COMPUTER BEEPS]
[STAMMERS] That-- that's not me.
That's obviously-- because I've got the--
you know.
[MOUSTACHE SQUEAKS]
So now you can use the app feature
to put a bounty on your friends, your pets,
your Star Wars hosts--
[STAMMERS] Seriously, guys?
[SIGHS] All right, the jig is up.
Or have some fun with the "LEGO Holiday
Special" Star Wars sticker pack, available only
through January 1st.
Add Darth Vader in a festive sweater, pile of porgs,
Lando on a Mando, and more.
Speaking of the "LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special,"
our calendar might say that Life Day is over,
but ho, ho, buddy, the Life Day celebration
continues thanks to Star Wars Force
for Change, FIRST Robotics, and the LEGO Group.
If you or someone you know is a fan age 13 and up,
it's time to reimagine your LEGO bricks into Star
Wars holiday inspired builds.
I'm thinking a Millennium Falcon with holiday decorations
landing in an icy rebel outpost that's been turned
into a winter wonderland, but I'm not eligible to enter
so you're my only hope.
Let your imagination run wild and then share
a photo of your LEGO Star Wars holiday
build with this hashtag to be entered
to win some exciting LEGO prizes and a FIRST
LEGO League experience.

- (ECHOING) Vengeance.
Vengeance.
- Do you hear that?
Now you can play "Echoes of Vengeance--"
vengeance-- vengeance--
the online game capping off a story nine years in the making
and launching players into the next era of "Star
Wars, The Old Republic."
Reunite with Jedi Knight Kira Carsen and Sith Lord Scourge
to help deal with the Emperor's fanatical followers,
uncover ancient secrets, and confront
some unexpected enemies.
It all happens in "Star Wars, The Old Republic,"
Echoes of Vengeance-- vengeance-- vengeance--
out now.
Two new starfighters are making their way
to "Star Wars, Squadrons."
Soon, players will be able to get behind the controls
of the New Republic B-wing and Imperial TIE Defender
and unlocks some new starfighter components for each one.
But that's not all-- the new Custom Match feature will let
you create private matches with your friends
and set modifiers for ships, hulls, components, and more.
Check out all the updates in the game starting tomorrow.
Last week, the "Mandalorian" brought
us "Chapter 14, The Tragedy."
The wee child Grogu tapped into the power of the Force
and it was pure magic.
We got confirmation that Temuera Morrison is back, not as one
of the thousands of clone troopers
he lent his face to, but the one and only Boba Fett,
and he's brought Fennec Shand back from the near dead.
[MIMICS HEAD EXPLOSION] [LAUGHS]
And speaking of [MIMICS HEAD EXPLOSION]
this heart breaker took pretty much everything Mando loves
away in less than 34 minutes.
I don't know what's more savage, Boba cracking
through Stormtrooper armor like he's golfing
with a gaffy or those itty bitty electrobinders,
they're so small.
Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for "Chapter 15,"
streaming only on Disney+.
[BEEPING]
This Week in Star Wars History, we
make the jump back 15 years to the DVD release
of the second volume of the "Star
Wars, Clone Wars" micro-series.
Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, this
was the original exploration of the period of civil unrest
that Obi-Wan once casually mentioned to Luke Skywalker.
Back in the time before streaming television
was an option, we picked up this DVD
and caught up with General Grievous
battling it out with a legion of Clones.
The DVD also featured a commentary track
and featurette discussing how the "Clone
Wars" tied into "Episode III, Revenge of the Sith."
Galaxy's all connected.
That's it for this week, but for more on these stories
and other news from around the galaxy,
check out starwars.com, and be sure to join
us right here for "This Week! in Star Wars" every Thursday.
Thanks for watching, and may the Force be with you.
