If this doesn't win the fan choice vote the next time they do it, Star Wars fandom is dead.
Yeah wave 16 should (hopefully) drop in April with 2 Solo figs (Han and Imperial range trooper) and should include this fella (who I cant wait for!) - the Grand Moff himself : )
They should make a Krennic figure that has the glow of the green death star laser in his eyes.
Han is Anakin's son-in-law so he kinda counts still as part of the family.
Most unfortunate about the security breach on aisle 9 Director Krennic
The breaches have been filled. The wailing child on aisle 9 has been silenced.

Did anyone read Star Wars 42 today? I'm actually really enjoying the story - it feels like Gillen is able to fill out these chapters with more interesting plot per issue than Aaron was, and everyone is getting pretty good development, particularly with Luke finally finding his place in the Rebellion and Han starting to become the "leader" he was in ESB.
If the art had been done by anyone else this would probably rank pretty highly among the main series' arcs so far. Even with the awful shading and the tracing I'd still put it up there.

I wonder if Gillen is going to bring in the Mid-Rim Retreat at all. Aaron really skimmed over the...military aspect of the war in favor of the Big 3's adventures, so we never got to see the Mid-Rim Offensive. At this point in the timeline, assuming we are a year out from ANH (which seems reasonable), the Retreat would've begun.
I wonder if there's an end to the Star Wars comic that focuses on Luke, Leia and Han. Will we be at 100 or so issues in 5 years and still following Luke's adventures before Empire? Depending on how IX ends or RIan's trilogy, I'd like for the current run to have an end and then focus on new characters.

A lot of people seem to want them to jump past ESB already but I feel like the story of the war is really just beginning. I want that to run until at least issue 100, then switch over to post-ESB for however many issues.
Sabine got done dirty.
I can't believe they hyped her story up so much and made her the dealer for a while and then just dropped all of that just so she could re-join the team. She could've had a great conclusion to her characters and then they just took it all away.
I agree! Probably won't happen though. But I am glad I at least got the first one. Wasn't even that easy to get in Holland.

It's good, it's just not great outside of a few episodes.
TCW was all over the place in terms of quality but we mostly remember it for its high points. Rebels is more consistent, but it's also more average. Just go into Rebels remembering that it has a smaller budget and more restrictions due to being on Disney XD and you'll be fine.
Good to know. I always see tons of hate for Ezra, but a lot of stuff at least looks cool. I also just finished watching season 1 of TCW, and wanna see what Mr Syndulla's daughter is up to.
The highs of Rebels, to me, are better than anything on TCW. But like sphagnum says, the lows can feel tedious as hell.
I agree with this assessment pretty much. Another difference is that Clone Wars had these multi-episode arcs (a better feature imo) compared to Rebels that sort of has a season long narrative arc, but each episode feels very stand alone-ish, way more one-off and not super duper connected episode to episode.
I'm curious as hell to watch Rebels. I just don't have any way to watch it now unless I outright purchase the seasons on disc. Which, I don't think I'm prepared to do. Put the eps on Netflix Disney!!
Some of the books coming with Solo have appeared online. Phil Szostak will be writing the art book again.
Watching A New Hope, reminded that when they first arrive at the cantina in Mos Eisley, they don't allow droids in there. Has there been any other examples of droidism in the films? Can't think of any other examples.
Rebels will probably never be on Netflix now that Disney has its own streaming service coming.
I assumed that it isn't so much droidism as Wuher not wanting room in his Cantina being taken up by things that won't be purchasing any drinks from him. He's a bartender, not a mechanic.
this makes sense. I figured maybe they could let them slip since clone wars is already on there.
this makes sense too! I thought the bartender was just being a prick not letting them in because he had a thing against droids.
I love it, but it makes it look like 1/3 of the Knights of Ren are children lol.
Ahem The New Order.... gotta keep with the theme.
Of course Wolfenstein may have something to say about that.
Bring on Cricket Bat!

Episode 9 should be called this!
But what of the sacred rule of never reusing a title case word? We already saw Jedi again!
(I don't really care)
How I'd love that to be real. The New Order is a great title, and I'd love for Ben to use Vader's Castle as his base of operations.
Plus having the Knights of Ren on the poster may stop the baseless "what about these dropped plot points?!?!?!?!?" complaints. For a day or two.

I just want it to form a complete sentence with the rest of the sequel titles
