The doors to Batuu’s Black Spire Outpost, aka Galaxy’s Edge, were opened early to select news sites, allowing the world to get a glimpse at what’s in store for the first Star Wars theme park. The official site has a plethora of coverage across several articles: Starting with Dan Brook’s article regarding the story behind the park, cool new details on the two rides, Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run (pilot the Falcon (!) after meeting an animatronic Honda Ohnaka (!!)) and Rise of the Resistance (where Daisy Ridely, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, and Adam Driver reprise their roles), and how the Play Disney Parks app is integrated into the park; then he details the food and drink available, like Blue AND Green Milk, Meiloorun Juice, the Fuzzy Tauntaun, Fried Endorian Tip-Yip, and more (which will all be available to cook at home with an upcoming cookbook!); of course there’s a lot of in-universe merchandise to pick up, from ancient Jedi/Sith artifacts at Dok-Ondar’s shop (who is staring in an upcoming comic series), build your own lightsabers and droids, and some little handmade plush toys; and lastly, a giant article summing up all three of them. You can check out other coverage from sites like: Nerdist, io9, EW, and THR. Check below for a video (and article) about the Hondo animatronic, as well as the rest of our previous Galaxy’s Edge coverage.

As exciting as the idea of a fully immersive Star Wars theme park is, the stark reality is not everyone will get a chance to visit one, for a wide variety of reasons, so thankfully there is plenty of tie-in material coming for those who can’t or won’t ever go.

Beyond the already introduced comic miniseries, Galaxy’s Edge, a few new novels were announced today: Black Spire, by Delilah S. Dawson (so glad she’s back!!); A Crash of Fate, by Zoraida Córdova; Myth & Fables, written by George Mann, illustrations by Grant Griffin. Head below for all the details and an excerpt from Myth & Fables! Continue reading “Galaxy’s Edge Publishing Programming Gives all Fans a Chance to Visit”

“Fuel for the Fire,” Star Wars Resistance’s fourth episode (the premiere is actually two episodes), is titled to fit an obvious reference to events within, but its hidden meaning is the episode’s real delight. Also within? Guest appearance from Frodo Baggins himself, Elijah Wood! Continue reading “Star Wars Resistance Review: “Fuel for the Fire””

Thrawn – Alliances, written by Timothy Zahn, follows Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader tasked with hunting down a mysterious disturbance in the Force, out near the Unknown Regions, while a story in the past sees Anakin Skywalker meet Thrawn for the very first time as Padmé investigates her friend’s disappearance. More exciting and intriguing than the first novel, Alliances’ double-timeline plot keeps the pace flying and the various POVs are engaging with Padmé’s material being the best of the novel, though one era suffers slightly from drawing out its revelations, while Zahn’s unwillingness to give Thrawn any real weaknesses is detrimental to the character here.
