I've stopped writing off the people behind this show. Small incidental characters/background events have back and the show doesn't go out of it's' way to call attention to it.
So if anyone wants to more SvtFoE stuff to consume, I found a thing.
Apparently, as an idea, Skleero proposed that an AU where Janna is the main character would be a decent spin on the show's concept. The premise is as stated there, rather than Star being sent to earth, somehow her spellbook was sent to Earth instead, and Janna was the one to find it. Someone decided "Hey, that's a great idea!" and contacted him/her about it, and started making the real thing happen, resulting in...
Janna vs the Forces of Evil.
Now, I'm aware that fanfiction is viewed in a skeptical light, arguably for good reason, so I feel the need to justify this recommendation. This one is good. The best way I can pitch it is that if you were to go back in time to the writers room and tell them "No, Janna should be the protagonist" and they did it, this feels like it's what we would genuinely get. This feels like the Star vs the Forces of Evil in every way, the humor, the overthetopness, the antics, the pathos, the characters are all in character, the plots feel like they are what would take place in this universe with the same episodic structure, all without literally replicating what happened before. (though I guess the latest chapter with the monster hand comes closest).
It's the offseason and we're going to be waiting a few months before we get more Star vs the Forces of Evil. If you want something to hold you over until it does, I think this is the fix you need. If you're on the fence, the each chapter takes about 15 minutes to read if you're super slow, so might as well give it a shot.

I'm not saying I'm totally down for a Janna Rules The Forces of Evil spin-off but I am saying I'd spend 1000 to kickstart three seasons.
Well, Season 2 isn't even over yet. We've got (I think) 8 more episodes. But yes, there's still some lingering questions that need answers. I definitely expect Toffee to show again before we transition to season 3. And before anyone asks, Season 3 was greenlit some time ago so we definitely have that to look forward to.
We're not getting those until February though, right?
I am always a fan of keeping busy with reading/watching/doing something instead of just staring at a wall until the show comes back.
I'm glad we're getting 3 seasons though. The show's pacing is rather slow in terms of the 'important stuff' and we get a lot of one off antic episodes. I don't mean that as a criticism necessarily, but these kinds of shows need room to breathe or else you can feel like not much happened.

I watched both seasons recently, and got caught up to the midseaosn finale.
Good show, great way to take my mind off stuff, and the midseason finale was really good. Looking forward to where they go with it.
I really prefer season 2 to 1, it really started to arc the characters and I think that works to its advantage.

That I don't know. Nothing's been confirmed other than a vague "sometime next year". It would be nice if we could pin it down to a month, though.
EDIT: turns out Marco's VA tweeted that his best guess for the show to come back would be in February. Which is probably why so many people seem sure about that month. Not really much to go on but there you go.
EDIT: random comic
Disney XD's Instagram account just updated with a curious image.
Either they're summoning their Personas or some shit's going down.
Also I think my obsessions are starting to bleed into each other.

Hmm...
In the first pic, on the second image down from the top,
what is that glowing white striped thing behind the right side of Marco's head? It looks like a metallic worm...

All we know for sure is that many of their shows are going to be grouped and aired together in some new block which will begin "early 2017", Star included.This might mean it returns earlier than the rumored april right?
right
RIGHT
Y-yeah, what's going on with the distribution of these books? Your best chance may be to actually go into a comic shop and finding it there, the books are scarce online.
There's always this, but act fast: only one copy remains.
There's no date for issue 4 either. But if your'e willing to hold out, there's supposed to be trade of all four books available in March for $10.

So I cought up with this show, I watched the finale just yesterday.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how it turned out to be. Good animation, good plot progression and good choreography....well, mostly.
Some episodes definitely fall flat in some spots, and I wish they game more space to some side characters. Overall I can't wait for the next batch, which I just now discovered is still TBD...

Just thought I'd share this bit of info while this topic was up.
So a couple weeks ago Swampy (of Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law fame) tweeted that they were saving future episodes of MML for something called a "watch block" which people are theorizing could be Disney's answer to CN's "bombs" (for those who don't know it's where they show a new episode every day for a week). It just occurred to me that this could apply to Star as well.

I fixed some stuff for you.

while this news excites me, if they are going to name it similar to a steven bomb, they really should have just went with a star bomb."Starbruary" bomb begins Monday, February 6th.

Whoa! So, the real season finale airs within a month of the new premier? Unique, but it's gonna be a pain on the old DVR doing 11 min each...
Anyone else find it funny that the new shows start and end before and after Valentines, considering the current topic at hand?
DUN-DUN-DUN!!!

I usually am apprehensive towards "bomb" type airings for shows since it leaves a long hiatus after them but if they can start season 3 before the end of the year I'll happily take it.

Wait, so we are getting the rest of in February. Wow. I am both excited about getting to see the rest of season 2 so soon and a bit worried about why the episodes are being released so fast. I hope itunes keeps up with this.

Episode Name spoilers
Man those last
Also all the episodes being spent so quickly is a bit worrying but i'll take what i can get i guess.

four episode names... gonna need to buy a 40 for Star if what i think is correct

Season 3 was greenlighted a lot earlier than anticipated, so the wait shouldn't be as severe as the 10 month wait between Season 1 and Season 2:
^ this was back in March of last year
This doesn't, of course, take into account the fact that the rest of 2B will air all in a single month, but she probably wasn't expecting that mini-hiatus we're having now either. Maybe it'll even out.
---------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Looks like issue #4 is out, and on schedule
---------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
According to a post on twitter, if you go to see The LEGO Batman Movie in theaters you might just see some familiar faces giving a P.S.A. before the movie. Only overseas, apparently.

Is Starcrushed the season finale?
Infinite Justice
Member
Yea but its seemingly being paired with Face the music instead of being a 30 min episode
Also itshappening.gif @ those synopsis and the preview vid
If only they adopted the leaks too
Face the Music and Starcrushed are both 22-minute episodes. That's (with commercials) an hour of Star right there on Monday.

Yikes i apparently can't read time once again. :/
Apologies.
So an hour (mostly) of Star does give a stronger vibe that they are linked or maybe its just Disney ensuring that the season would be finished in February.
Should be a very interesting watch regardless.
