Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years vol. 2
What a wonderful era of Star Wars this was. Back when there was only the original film and writers and artists were free to run around the galaxy however they pleased.

Eh, I dunno. I tried reading those comics a while back and they were just really lame. I reckon the Dark Horse comics absolutely blew these old Marvel comics out of the water, and the new line of Marvel comics are also way better. Those old comics don’t feel like Star Wars and just aren’t my thing.

This.

That.

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

Rian just posted this series of images on twitter a few hours ago.

I’m betting Pablo or someone in the story group handed him those books when he was writing the script. The handling of the Force in the film always sounded very accurate and informed from an EU perspective to me. Though I never got around to reading those specific books(THE SACRED TEXTS).

Some footage was shown to a small audience in Munich. Here’s one reaction:

I just saw a Sneak Peak (EPK reel) of “SOLO - A Star Wars Story” and I must say I’m really really overwhelmed of how freaggin good it looks! (nothing about the story yet!)
Alden Ehrenreich is amazing as Han Solo, and so is Donald Glover as Lando, Emilia Clarke and Woody Harrelson look awesome and it definitely had an “old” Star Wars Feel to it!!
Looks like this could be the fan-service-movie some of the older Star Wars fans wanted from Episode VIII 😉
Can’t wait for an official trailer and it’s only 4 months (!!) to release! OMG!!

The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Meant to share this before last week:

Just finished my rewatch of Iron Man (2008).

It’s been a long while since I last revisited the film that started it all. The break was a good one, this is a solid film that still holds up today. It’s funny to realize how much has happened in the last 10 years. The state of cellphone technology, dated social media network references, the scale of fight scenes. The big end battle was such a revelation at the time but is quite a small engagement by today’s standards. The earlier anti-terrorist fights however are still brilliant. Overall, excellent film that started the ball rolling with important character development that has continued on and throughout the rest of the MCU.

He could always fiddle with the settings on his helmet and the classic Fett voice comes out. 😉

Jason Wingreen is no more sadly. 😦

I never understood why Boba Fett would want to sound like a clone anyway. Tells way too much about him. Maybe we will be lucky and he’ll be silent the whole time.

I’m sure a sound alike can be found. The Fett movie depends on it!

Jeremy Bulloch actually does a pretty good Jason Wingreen impression. Imagine bringing him on to do that. Would keep the onscreen legacy of the character intact in such a wonderfully unconventional way.

It won’t help. He willfully ignores or retcons so much - including stuff he just introduced two years ago in season 10! (Which itself retconned a fuck ton from the original run.)

I have to have a clear recollection of everything in order to be properly annoyed! =P

Also, handy tip for anyone interested. You can watch the entire series free on Fox’s website!

The paint scheme is reminiscent of the one it had in ROTS:

However, other than the color, I think they’re going to be ignoring everything else about it.

I get the feeling in the film we’re going to learn that YT-1300 freighters come stock with that front covering and that Han removes it as part of his “special modifications.” Basically, I see the Falcon as the Star Wars equivalent of a hot rod:

And I can totally see an homage to this scene playing out in the film.
