Heads up. Clone Wars may be leaving Netflix Next month on the 7th.

On a interesting note. Saw Sam Witwer playing Star Wars Galaxies on twitch today. brought back the memories of that game

Ah well, now I can justify buying the Clone Wars on Blu ray!

 

[Kalentan]

Huh, so I just checked on the Wiki after someone mentioned it and it's true. There is no Bothan characters in the new Star Wars universe. They're still canon, obviously, but no characters introduced have been Bothan.

 

[KoruptData]

Just ordered it. On sale for $57 on Amazon for seasons 1-5. No way my future son ain't watching this.

 

[Sayers]

If any of you guys pick up the Clone Wars Blu-rays, I HIGHLY recommend the BTS videos. Really good stuff in there, lots of Filoni of course.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Looks like this year's Force Friday will be on the 1st September according to Jedi Bibliothek.

 

[parrotbeak]

Is there any set with Clone Wars 1-5 and the lost season? Seems like the options on amazon are only to buy it separately.

Nope. The box set's only Seasons 1-5. I had to import The Lost Missions from Amazon Germany as it's not available in the UK.

JW is a fucking genius. This video confirms it. Brilliant cover.

Saddens me to know this song was wasted on Padme/Anakin. Seriously.

I've just decided to buy all of the seasons individually. In Australia the first two seasons came with cool production journals. I love that stuff. It's cost me a bit more but I don't mind.

People buying TCW be aware that none of the sets include the "movie" which I believe is OOP. Yeah it's not the best set of four episodes cut together, but it is where Ahsoka is introduced.

(Also "movie" and seasons 1-5 were published by WB, but "Lost Missions" was published by Disney, so whatever publishing deal there was needs to expire before a real COMPLETE collection can happen.)

Darth Vader meets Tiny Padme
And a different version of the same event

 

[GAMEPROFF]

PSA, Shadows of the Empire is avaiable soon on Steam, also there is currently a Humble Star Wars Bundle

 

[Ezalc]

I wonder if they're going to fix the game, last I heard it was pretty crap.

Good point. I can't find the movie here in Australia, nor on eBay. Is it out of print?

Jason Aaron and Kieron Gillen are doing another crossover with Star Wars and Doctor Aphra.

StarWars.com and The Star Wars Show are excited to reveal Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel, a five-issue crossover that finds Luke reluctantly teaming with the shady-but-cool archaeologist to investigate the Screaming Citadel, an infamous castle located on the edge of space. It kicks off in May with the Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel one-shot by Kieron Gillen and artist Marco Checchetto, then continues in Jason Aaron's Star Wars #31, Gillen's Doctor Aphra #7, and on. StarWars.com spoke with Gillen and Aaron to find out more, including who else will show up, how they'll take Star Wars into gothic-horror territory, and how The Screaming Citadel, much like 2015's Vader Down crossover, will have a great impact on all characters involved.

Jason Aaron: It spins out of Kieron's Doctor Aphra series. The previous crossover series we did, Vader Down, kind of took my Star Wars book and Kieron's Darth Vader book and slammed the casts together, and grew out of Vader's quest to get his hands on Luke. This one is the same thing, it's Kieron and I coming up with it together. This one's probably more his, more from what he's been setting up in Doctor Aphra. It's really trying to do something like Vader Down. Mix our casts up, this time mixing them up in very different ways than what we did the previous time, and playing with some very different settings and tropes. This is very much a Star Wars gothic-horror story.

Felicity Jones coming to Celebration Orlando yaaaasssssss.

this is adorable

IT GOT BETTER

IT GOT BETTER

The way Judi Dench says "Jedi" makes me wish she were in the trilogy at some point. She would be such an awesome addition. I could see her as a wise old Jedi or even an ancient Sith or Sith follower. Or maybe a Maz type character.

goddammit

Now I want Judi Dench is Star Wars and it probably won't happen (not that it couldn't).

 

[KoruptData]

Read Dr. Aphra #4. Another top notch quality issue. Amazed at how good this book is.

 

[Surfinn]

Yup you read my mind. That's who I was thinking of.

amazing

Ah thanks, that is what I was wondering. I won't wait for a complete set then; will just go for the Lost Season when I see it on sale.

Ugh, no, not again. The Gillen parts of Vader Down were so bad (and the whole thing was mediocre in general).

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I wasn't a big fan either. I thought it was the weakest part of Vader's run and probably Star Wars as well. Hopefully this one's better.

Variety are reporting that Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge is in talks for a part in Han's spin off.

Following her critically acclaimed turn in the Amazon series "Fleabag," actress Pheobe Waller-Bridge is in talks for a key role in the upcoming "Star Wars" Han Solo spinoff starring Alden Ehrenreich.

The role would be a CGI-driven performance from Waller-Bridge but would still be a significant part of the ensemble, similarly to key Star Wars characters in the past like Chewbacca, C-3P0 and most recently, Alan Tudyk's K-2SO in "Rogue One."

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Looks like Thandie Newton's in talks for a part as well.

“Westworld” star Thandie Newton may be headed to a galaxy far, far away.

Sources tell Variety the actress is in negotiations to join the upcoming Han Solo spinoff, starring Alden Ehrenreich. Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke co-star in the Disney-Lucasfilm feature, with Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing. As Variety exclusively reported this week, “Fleabag” actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge is also in talks for a key role in the pic. Newton’s character is unknown.

 

[shingi70]

Just picked up the Ahsoka audiobook, will give it a listen before Empires end is out.


This year's celebration should be pretty stacked in terms of news and announcements.

 

[Jaeger]

Watching a compilation of lightsaber battles on YT. Amazing stuff. especially Clone Wars. But Rebels is good, too.

My head is choosing Tarkin but my heart says Piett. Piett gets my vote this time. I cannot remember who Jerjerrod was.

Lol, apparently no one else does either.

Sloane? She should be on there.

I think he was the guy who fucked up the search after the Falcon in Empire. Not sure tbh

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Jerjerrod was in charge of construction of the second Death Star. He's the one that almost shits himself when Vader tells him the Emperor's coming and he'd better hurry up.

Ah, I always thought that was Piet, who got promoted again, but I guess we see Piet on the Executor, right?

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Ah, the "We shall double our efforts" guy? I remember now. Not surprised at his 0%, the man is too slow for the Empire.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Ah, I always thought that was Piet, who got promoted again, but I guess we see Piet on the Executor, right?

Yeah, all of Piett's scenes in Jedi are on the Executor.

Most of Jerjerrod's scenes in Jedi were cut.

 

[shingi70]

Sloane? She should be on there.

Yep, I'm also surprised Thrawn is so high in the poll.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Yep, I'm also surprised Thrawn is so high in the poll.

Thrawn's very popular, especially with fans that grew up with Zahn's trilogy. Jaina Solo and Mara Jade topped the most recent Black Series figure poll as well.

Tarkin, Thrawn, and Krennic are the only ones above 10%.

Not enough for its own thread, but exciting enough that I thought you guys should catch the heads up:

You know how the last 15 minutes of E.T. are pretty much perfect because Spielberg had Williams compose the music, and then he edited the sequence to what Williams had already recorded?

According to Robert Meyer Burnett, this is apparently the approach Rian Johnson is taking with THE ENTIRETY of "The Last Jedi"

There's almost nothing about this movie that doesn't have me 100% excited.

I guess that explains why Williams began scoring so early. Wonderful approach (and thread-worthy, IMO).

Sounds like the optimal way to do it. I didn't know Spielberg did that for the ET finale but the ending of the film is pretty perfect.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I havent seen ET in a decade, I should do it again
Edit: one decade is to few, must have been 15 years...

I'm so easily nudged into action.

It sounds super obvious in hindsight, but yeah, this is great. If Williams has been writing the score for awhile now, why not?

 

[Teggy]

I just got to the episode of Clone Wars where

Spoiler

Boba Fett

shows up.

Ultimate troll move lol.


BTW, do the new Star Wars comics crossover a lot or is it ok to read all back issues of a title at once?
