The clean up in the preview looked great. It's awesome to see how far the project has come over the years.
You should give the Kanan series a go. It's the story of an apprentice on the run just after the betrayal. AND it's not written by the Marvel stable of writers but an accomplished writer in multiple mediums.
At the Marvel panel at Celebration they made it clear that they wanted to bring back Jaxxon but the story group rejected it. THAT they'll nix but not the rest of the mess that's filled this run. =/
That's great!
Stumbled upon a Trek discussion elsewhere and they had some choice links...

Hang on a minute. The name Mace originally comes from the Ewok movies? Someone should make a list of PT elements that Lucas borrowed from the EU.
Lucas wrote the story treatments for both films. As well as worked on Droids with the series creators.
Mmmmm......Kyle's dad was a Jedi in hiding. Kyle discovered his Force potential through the story of DFII. The tie-in novels are an expanded retelling of DFII. The first saber he wields is his father's as depicted in the game.
Is it wise to have someone watch a sort of spoof of Casablanca before watching the actual Casablanca?
Oh and you're pretty vague about the Kong/Zilla listing. Is it Kong 33/76/05 and then is it Godzilla 54/55/85/98/00/14?
Trailer added for The Martian.
Wat. They ruined Blackhole? EU good riddance.
EDIT: Just looked into this. Cronal supposedly had a hand in the creation of Lord Nyax but was definitely not him. This is the guy you're looking for.
Dunno about radio spots but I do have the voice recordings they did for ESB floating around somewhere. There was a number you'd call each week and a different character would tell you about the movie.

Whatever that is, I must pay money for it immediately.
Luckily you don't have to! It's a short film called Kung Fury and was Kickstarter funded a while back. It was officially released on Youtube for free just a few days ago!
Ughhhhhhhhhhhh, they were the worst. And that "base" they're on.

t's sorta like how, from what I've heard, the new Marvel movies make the world an improbable and terrifying place because New York continues to be pummeled by canonized danger every other week in one continuous narrative.
Er, NYC actually hasn't seen that much action. There was a minor skirmish in Queens with Iron Man, the Hulk fought the Abomination in Harlem and then finally there was the Battle of New York in the Avengers. Most of the Marvel films have been pretty diverse with their locations.
Concept Art for Serkis' character:

Also, if the art is anything to go by, it's definitely not the same species as in AOTC. It doesn't have the elongated head the AOTC alien has (It is in fact a long cranium, not just a headdress as we see another of the species on Coruscant as well).
Their cranium is a little long but not ridiculous like the headdress. Here's another of her species that also showed up in AOTC:
More depictions:
The one illustration that depicts them with a headdress head I'd mock up to lousy artistic license.
Because the original Star Wars wasn't packed with explosions....
The Phoenix on the Sword by Robert E. Howard
Interesting way to introduce the character. Even though it was split into five chapters, it felt like just the first in a longer tale.
Cameron many times throughout the '90s talked about doing T3. So obviously it was always his intention to continue with the series.
The only reason he didn't continue was because he was facing a lot of heat during post-production of Titanic because of the budget. The rights ended up going to auction at that time and he decided to give it up to avoid further scrutiny.

But that's a reporter asking if there will ever be a sequel. That's not the same as the filmmakers deliberately changing the ending so that there will be room for sequels, which I don't think was their intention to begin with - unless someone has a source which states otherwise.
James Cameron said:
Basically, what I did in Terminator 2 is say that everything is meant to be a certain way. At least to that point in time where they're sending somebody back from that future. But can you grab that line of history like it's a rope stretched between two points, and pull it out of the way? If you can pull it just a little bit before it rebounds, and cut it exactly at that moment, then you can change it and go in a different direction. If you do that you get a future that no longer exists at all, except in the memories of the people that are here now.
But there was a sense that, why tie it up with a bow? If the future is changeable, then the battle is something that has to be fought continuously. And you can't do it with a single stroke. That it's the dualism, the dynamic between good and evil that's eternal.
