I read Inferno, and my mind went to Scorch. I miss the Commandos.
So I guess if Two Tubes got off Jedah, he'd be leader of the Partisans? He definitely seemed 2nd in command.

The last of Josh Gad's attempts to get Daisy Ridley to spill:

This a little better than the last one, surprisingly.

Love how she cracks at JJ's question, though it was a waste seeing he already knows the answer. What a plonker.

If production of the young Han Solo movie seems to go smoothly I think it'll be interesting to see if there's a difference between how they handle the multimedia stuff for that and Rogue One. I was quite surprised we only got Catalyst before the cinematic release. Now the character novels are going to miss the home video release by a solid month and cut into the start of the marketing cycle for The Last Jedi. Kinda seems like with the reshoots 'n' stuff they just weren't able to get any extra stuff written in time. (I'm ignoring Inferno Squad - as a follow-on spin-off thing, it might never have come out earlier anyway.)

How many will go see Guardians of the Galaxy this summer just to see the new trailer for the new Start Wars movie?
I think it was less waiting for reshoots and hedging their bets on the films reception. I'm curious what the Rouge One tie in comic would have been about.
I'm expecting Han Solo to get more merch and tie ins to Rouge One.
Something I noticed which is probably my be design Luke is the least fleshed it character of the main cast in the new canon. We have alot of him post a New hope, and we see him briefly after Return, but everything post Shattered Empire we have only gotten hand accounts of what he was up too.
We'll be getting it at Celebration this year, right? Or is that still just rumor?
Even still, I'm excited for Guardian Vol. 2, and will be giddy as all hell when the trailer plays ahead of it. Loved seeing the Force Awakens trailers before IMAX movies throughout 2015.

The R1 blu drops the week before Celebration. The week after TFU's blu-ray release, we got the Rogue One trailer.
It's like poetry

Not sure. That's just what I was told; new trailer for Guardians in a few weeks, new Star Wars trailer before Guardians.

No trailers ever debut in cinemas these days. Guardians is out on the 28th April over here, I expect the Celebration teaser will be attached to it if it's shown at The Last Jedi panel on the 14th as expected.
I'll be watching Guardians anyway because the first was a blast.
I hope that's a WW release date and we don't have to wait two weeks longer than the US like last time.
Empire's End is out today. I was reading some posts on TFN about it and this one caught my eye. Seems to be a minor detail but it sets up the political situation for the 30 year gap in an interesting way.
"There are THREE independent powers mentioned. Just names, no members or sizes provided, but they are very interesting. The New Separatist Union, the Confederacy of Corporate Systems, and a pirate nation known as the Sovereign Latitudes!"

I believe.
Apparently he also figured kids would have seen the prequels and possibly watched the movies in chronological order and he wanted them to immediately recognize Anakin. FWIW.
In other news EMPIRE'S END ACQUIRED AND FINISHED. WHOO.

Haha, 50 pages in to Empire's End, and it's the new canon debut of..... [EMPIRE'S END SPOILER]
Lumpy! You know, Chewie's son, first seen in the Holiday Special.

Thoughts? Better than Life Debt?
I think Life Debt may be the strongest of the three books, since this one has a LOT of ground to cover, and at this point it is hard to say if I'm just immune to Wendig's prose, because I really didn't have any of the problems I had reading the original Aftermath. Loved pretty much every Interlude, and am still ticked I was spoiled for that ONE, which I found to be a pretty tragic one.
The one thing I Did Not Want to Happen, didn't, so I don't have to set Wendig on fire.

Target edition for me. It sucks that only Target and Best Buy are selling the 3D edition, but it's a much better alternative than waiting for a second release (like TFA). Though, I practically buy all my movies at Target, so no big deal.

Y'know i really hope that woody harrelson is the mentor guy like they've said but towards the end he does this heroic sacrifice thing and everyone is sure he's dead but he miraculously survives but with brain damage, he than has this transformation scene like the vader/Anakin thing at the end of ROTS and is revealed as the mighty lobot.
We have seen this already in the Comics

That's a shame, the origin of lobot really deserves the full cinematic treatment.

I think once again ill just be getting the standard bluray set. They always seem to be the most traditional without any gimmicky packaging. It also looks the best, just like with the Force Awakens.

I'm rewatching the final Clone Wars arc. Liam Neeson has the most calming voice and the Dagobah scenes are so good.

Should be getting my copy tomorrow. It came out today here but no sign of it.

Maaaaaybe spoiler that. I don't know. When I first watched Clone Wars a few months back I had never heard he was in it, so it was a really cool surprise and I imagine there may still be some folks around who haven't watched it yet. But I could be worrying too much.
But yeah, that whole arc was great. Loved it.

I can see what you mean but it's been three years. TFA and Rogue One spoilers have been fair game in here for a while.Maaaaaybe spoiler that. I don't know.

I wish the whole book was Sloane and Rax. TBH my eyes kind of glaze over during some of the heroes' chapters when legacy characters like Han/Leia/Mon/Ackbar aren't involved but that's been an issue for me with the whole trilogy.
All the Imperial stuff is pretty good though!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Looks like we dodged a bullet with Netflix.
It doesn't appear that Clone Wars is leaving Netflix. So either the rumor was bogus or else someone made a deal to keep it before it left.

You sure? I know the list for March came out today, but I'm on Netflix right now and at the bottom it still says it's being removed March 7th
And what's your guy's take on the original cuts of the OT being rereleased for the 40th anniversary? Think it'll finally happen?
If you watch episodes it literally pops up a message that it is leaving March 7.
