Sounds good. Surprised but glad it's featuring Wedge. It's the novel I've most been looking forward to reading.

Thank you to everyone for tagging the dark disciple spoilers. I have to wait until friday before I can get the book. I'm already holding back on listening to my star wars podcasts because they are talking spoilers, I would hate to read it here.

After looking over those young adult books, the Han and Chewie one by Greg Rucka looks the most appealing. Really dig the covers too.

Looks interesting. I wish I had the time and money for the rebels tie in books. I'm just managing to get the novels down, and only because I can listen to the audiobook. 5 hours till my paycheck come in and I can get dark disciple.
(former?) GAF Member Gary Whitta talks Rogue One. Sort of?

Looks like Colin Treverrow may be directing Episode IX. I wasn't a fan of Jurassic World at all so I'm not very enthusiastic.

This has been known for a while. First confirmation that he's writing the second and third books in the trilogy though.

The first book has been known. I pre-ordered it a while back. The 2nd and 3rd book announcement is what's new.

It was announced in March that it was going to be a trilogy. http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/17/8236631/star-wars-aftermath-novels-return-jedi

My Bespin Luke and Han turned up today. They look great.
I'm not super familiar with the Black Series figures but I know they're realistic so the upcoming Ahsoka figure looks a lot different than her Clone Wars model. I wonder how Sabine will translate to that style.

Yeah, should be interesting to see. They've got a lot the faces right like with Han, Luke and Vader but Obi-Wan, Anakin and Leia's faces are pretty bad likenesses.
Check out all the Star Wars toy reveals at the Hasbro panel that just finished.
Some highlights:
(6" figures)
Ahsoka (previously revealed, but new pics)
Kanan (!!)
SABINE (!!) with two heads: one with helm one without
Revan, confirmed as fan choice recently
Jango, again two heads (thankfully), one with helm one without
Force Awakens TIE Fighter and...
True 6" scale TIE fighter vehicle... 26" in length
New Force FX lightsabers with all new tech inside. First ones will be yoda and vader.
LOTS of pictures:

Ahsoka's looks great. I was hoping Kanan would get a Black Series figure. Wish granted. That TIE is huge!
I really love that they are doubling down on 6" Rebels figures instead of leaving them only to the Mission Series figures aimed at younger fans.
They did a great job translating Ahsoka and Kanan to the "realistic" style. Which is another thing I like... they could just scale up the Mission Series figures and leave them in the cartoony style, but they are going the extra mile to imagine what they would look like in the film universe. The results are great.
I hope they give us Zeb and Ezra not too long after so we can complete the team. Oh and CHOPPER

Seems like a lot of sites (my girlfriend's included) are having big wi-fi issues in Hall H tonight. The Verge seems to be the best bet.

They said this earlier this week. JJ's notoriously cagey.

I wish someone would ask if Boyega & Ridley are going to keep their accents for the film.
Oh ffs. This SDCC delivers nothing worthwhile so far.

Boyega talks about talking Harrison Ford to a Nigerian restaurant in West London. People gawked, and somebody walked up to ask him, "Are you Harrison Ford?" "I used to be," he replied.
Harrison Ford is the best
