1. why are there Imperial era TIE Fighters on the cover
2. why is there a First Order officer wearing an Imperial uniform

First I thought it was just a 'regular' First Order TIE instead of those Special Forces two-seater. But those are also supposed to be black.... so yeah those are Imperial TIE's.
I seriously have no idea
Comic is crap, confirmed!

I finally got around to finishing Thrawn. It was fairly slow-paced but I enjoyed it a lot. Getting an insight into Thrawn's early days in the Empire and Pryce's rise to governorship made it well worth the read, especially leading into Season 3 of Rebels. She's evil, that one.
I wonder if Vanto will turn up again. I was expecting
Nice little reference.

Thrawn to recommend he captained his own ship but it'll be interesting to see if he and the Chiss make a reappearance any time soon. I loved how Thrawn's first line from his reveal in the Rebels Season 3 trailer was something he heard from Nightswan too, "To defeat an enemy, you must know them."
Vader's Vault ran one of their "ready to ship" sales earlier today, and I managed to snag a Force Awakens Graflex. Been wanting to buy one from them for a long time, but they only do a limited run of them a few times a year, and the wait time can run up to several months. But this thing is ready to go, and I should have it next week. This is my first lightsaber purchase since I bought the Darth Maul toy lightsaber back in 1999. Really excited to finally own something as close to the real deal as possible. I'll post pics when it arrives.
Nice! I have a Graflex 2.0 hilt that I need to get around to adding electronics and stuff to one of these days. I want to have it done for Episode VIII.

Hey guys! Coupla things:
1) A little bit ago I got curious as to what the "Rey Grabs the Lightsaber" moment woulda sounded like if Williams' original cue from the soundtrack had been used. So I cut it in.
It looks & sounds kinda like this.
It's not perfect because I believe they continued editing the sequence after Williams initially scored the moment, and the final edit was too long for both his cue and for the tracked in music they did use (they timestretched that piece, as it turns out) but I think it provides a decent idea as to how it would have played.
2) for people who have been waiting for Star Wars Oxygen to return (it probably won't) but aren't really feeling like going back and listening to the whole series all over again, there's a fan-edit of the show that removes EVERYTHING that isn't commentary on the film scores. No guests, no listener emails, no special episodes about other media. Just the commentary on the themes, recordings, and soundtrack releases from the 8 films.
The playlist starts here.
Takes the show from 38 episodes down to 21, and shrinks the average episode length from 80 minutes to about 30.

Interesting to hear it composited in; but, Burning Homestead is only and correct choice. From the Hero's Journey perspective that moment in ANH is Luke's barrier crossing moment where he reaches his decision to leave his life behind and openly embrace his journey. Rey calling the saber to her hand is the same moment. The talisman that was previously rejected is finally accepted willingly.
During post production for TFA, I let out an audible cheer when I heard that JJ requested it. All doubts about if the sequels would "get" Star Wars were washed away with that decision.

Yeah, I prefer The Return Home as well, and specifically for those reasons, which became pretty apparent after leaving the theater and talking about it with friends - that music cue SEEMS out of place if you think of it in plot context, but if you think of it thematically - it fits PERFECTLY. And the "Dies Irae" quote in the brass is perfect, really. She's claimed her destiny, but it's still an uncertain leap she just made.
Good to know that Abrams himself made that call - I am curious as to how that moment came about in the edit though - the shots aren't really timed to the music, and the music was manipulated to fit the moment.

I'm pretty stunned by the news I must admit, especially with the film being several months into filming. The creative team was the most exciting aspect of the film.
You misunderstood, it was a way to say you would see how he got to become the Han Solo we all know and love, and not literally how he got the name "Han Solo".
Thats a relief

Forces of Destiny? Filoni's new thing? BATTLEFRONT II?!

I'm very happy with this choice.
I'd be fucking shocked if it doesn't release in December

Why was this one going to be released in May? I really like the December release schedule so far.
Because may the 5th is the traditional star wars date
I'm more "happy this exists" than "impressed by that trailer". Animation looks stiff.
Kinda underwhelming. It has kind of a Kids Adventure book vibe to it.

Announced on the Star Wars show today that the Rebels S3 Blu-ray will be out 8/29. And for the first time episodes will have an audio commentary track!
Always wondered why a Strormtrooper would want a helmet that massively cut off their peripheral vision.
It looks cool
A Stormtrooper wants what the Empire tells them to want!

And yet this last issue was the strongest besides the first one, I think. It has maybe the best Creepio dialogue to date.
