I love that the official Star Wars twitter actually has to start addressing niche fan theories now
Lol yeah that's pretty funny
Well Splinter was like, the start of the EU, so it is somewhat unfair to hold it up to even later standards lol.
To think once upon a time, our SW book collection was, novelizations, SotME, Han Solo at Stars End, some random issues of the Marvel comics, two collected paperback collections of the Marvel UK comics and a horde of kids' books. And we would reread them over and over and over. (Till one day we finally tracked down the other two Han Solo books after getting one of those Guides to Star Wars that mentioned them!) Such simple times.
Pablo went insane quite some time ago. There's a reason he purged his followers and decided to draw a Transformer a day!
At least he didn't run screaming from me at Celebration.WadiumArcadium

Looks like this Luke and Rey two-pack is this year's SDCC exclusive.
I need it. When they're released separately on Force Friday.

Daisy's shoes are anime.
I can't get over how fantastic Mark Hamill is looking these days. Dude looks about twenty years younger than he did before the new movies rolled around.

It looks pretty white here.

It seems like he'll be wearing the darker costume/s for much of the film though.
This just arrived this morning:
I've only just given it an initial look but it seems very unique in the pantheon of Star Wars coffee table books. Battles from the prequels through TFA are covered, with a standard format being applied, having sections for "eyewitness" reports, as well as personnel present and vehicles/ships that were part of each conflict. I'll have to spend some time with it to determine if it is "good", but I can already say that it is unique.

I completely forgot this was coming out after the release date changed so many times.
Do post your thoughts on it if you get chance ghostmind. I'm curious whether it's worth picking up.
That looks really freakin cool actuallyThis just arrived this morning:

Apparently a bunch of people are unhappy with the book
Honestly makes me more likely to pick it up to see if they've included any other cool lore nuggets, but to each his or her own.
basically canonizing that one deleted scene from Empire that has Hobbie kamikazing into Veers' AT-AT.

Rinzler has confirmed on Twitter that he won't continue with his blog posts. I was enjoying them a lot. It's a bummer.
A look at Lando in the Falcon from Ron Howard too. If you squint.

It seems like LFL brought the hammer down. What a shame.

Wonder if all the dirty-laundry-airing over the Han Solo affair last month (and subsequent reputation damage to LFL) had any role to play in this.

I love Pokken!
Welp.
Good. That was a stupid theory to begin with.
Disappointed it is not white and black like normal FO ships. Unless the specific ship here is Kylo Ren's and sports unique colors.
Also, what does the "vn" stand for? That is, any ideas until we get official answers.
The normal TIE Fighter's designation is TIE/ln, meaning "line". But "vn"... Evidently Silencer isn't actual model name, just given name.

Looks cool. The name sounded legit when somebody translated the Aurebesh on that pinball machine.
Another BTS look at Han's film from Howard. Lando entering hyperspace by the looks of it.
The last issue of Maul's mini-series is out today too.

Instead of a trailer we're getting Ron Howard pictures.
I've bitched about in the comic book thread a bit, but they keep getting the artist that did the art for the first Darth Vader, and I honestly have no idea why, he is pretty fucking terrible. You would think they would care to get amazing artist for Star Wars, but they rarely do.

Marvel wants to pump out Star Wars comics and he works quick.
Probably not too surprising, but the Russo Brothers are interested in directing a Star Wars movie

There's a good few other directors (same plausible, some not) that I'd prefer to see first, but I'd absolutely be okay with them taking a stab at it. Especially an anthology film.

GIVE THEM THE OBI-WAN MOVIE

Can we recaption this and reverse the arrow for "not an interesting character"Welp.
I'd rather see the them take on a completely new character or cast of characters, say post sequel trilogy. For Obi-Wan I want Gareth back but with that unlikely I think Gilroy deserves a shot

Seeing Rogue One's already been released in 3D and there wasn't a staggered release like with TFA, it seems a bit less likely.

Give him IX. KK pls. https://mobile.twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/887864427894132736

Episode X it is.
Yup. Damn, everything we've heard about 8 has me incredibly hyped. Is it too late
Part of the reason he isn't because it is impossible timing wise, 9 will be in pre-production and getting ready to shoot while he is still finishing up post-production on 8.
Yeah, while TFA was being made, Rian was hard at work with TLJ, he'd even watch all the dailies to help him with writing the characters. I'm sure that while TLJ was/is being made, the same thing is happening with Episode 9.

And Rian even had JJ make some changes to 7 to accommodate story lines in 8. Of course, the other side of that coin is that, God help us, Colin is making suggestions for changes to 8 for 9.

So, a short story collection? Nice.
edit: Related - EW: Here's how the new Star Wars novels will connect to The Last Jedi
Easily the most excited for that "Legends of Luke Skywalker" book; that kind of storytelling is all my jam.

TBH all of them sound really good. Claudia Gray is always a must buy.

I'm in for all of these apart from Star Wars Made Easy. Both the Leia and Luke books sound really good.
Sooner rather than later hopefully!
