The third issue of the Dark Horse comic series, Star Wars: General Grievous, was published on this day back in 2005.
General Grievous is both the protagonist and antagonist in a story which delves into the backstory of the supervillan and the hatred he has for the Jedi Order.
The four-part comic series concentrates on Grievous' story prior to the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The first issue was released before Episode III hit cinemas on March 15, 2005 before concluding on July 20.
This Tuesday will see the release of the long awaited video game Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens! The game will allow fans to play their way through the story of The Force Awakens, which has been completely recreated in the classic Lego style. In addition, there will be a ton of cool extras that will be available, including an assortment of DLCs.
The latest DLC to be announced is a Playstation exclusive Droids character pack. While Droids like R2-D2, BB-8 and C-3PO are already playable in the game, this bonus content adds an assortment of Droids from other eras of the saga.
Included in the pack will be the Astromech with a bad motivator R5-D4, bounty hunter IG-88, the Protocol Droid ME-8D9 seen in Maz Kanata's Castle, Lando Calrissian's droid W1-LE from Star Wars Rebels, and a variety of battle Droids from The Clone Wars, including the Captain Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid, and Captain Commando Droid.
But by far the biggest character included in the pack is none other the Supreme Commander of the Separatists, General Grievous, who will be playable with his classic four Lightsabers. In addition, the Vulture-Class Droid Starfghter will be among the ships made playable in the flight levels, and a microfighter version of the Droid fighter will be available to fly in free play areas.
A trailer for the character pack was released as well, which you can check out below:
The Droids character pack will only be available on Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 and will be released alongside the full game on June 28th!
