As much of the world faces quarantine to help combat the pandemic, staying at home opens up a lot of free time for many people. It’s a time to catch up on movies one has always wanted to watch, shows to binge, books/comics to read, boardgames to play, etc., and since the halting of new comics has opened up time/space at the Manor, we’ve decided to start a long overdue service: the Concierge! Staying at hotels, B&Bs, and even Airbnb’s there are often concierge services available about what to see and do in the area you’re visiting, so we’ve opened the concierge desk at the Manor to offer suggestions on what to read, watch, and enjoy when wanting to find out more about your favorite Star Wars characters now that you have the free time to do so! For the inaugural Mynock Manor Suggests, I’ve decided to focus on the smooth talking entrepreneur, Lando Calrissian. Continue reading “Mynock Manor Suggests: Lando Calrissian Expanded Content”

Canon Comic Review: Lando #5
– Spoiler Review –
It’s all been leading up to this: trapped on Palpatine’s ship, former allies now enemies, and all his friends in danger, how could Lando—and Lobot—survive to see the pleasant lights of Cloud City? The answer, befitting of the excellent series so far, is all sorts of bittersweet and tragic…in the best way possible for readers, with Lando #5 cementing the series as another must-read from Marvel’s additions to the new canon.

Canon Comic Review: Lando #4
– Spoiler Review –
Somehow, issue after issue, things continuously look worse and worse for Lando Calrissian and his crew aboard the Imperialis. If I didn’t know he was going to be in a movie that takes place later in the timeline, I for one wouldn’t think he’d find a way out of this situation. And while he will, it might cost those around him more than it’ll cost him, at least physically, but psychologically? That’s a different matter. Lando #4 puts this strong series into position for a finale you won’t want to miss. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Lando #4”

Canon Comic Review: Lando #2

Canon Comic Review: Lando #1
– Spoiler Review –
Lando Calrissian, the smoothest smuggler and entrepreneur in the galaxy, certainly sounds like a good choice to star in a comic series, especially since glimpses at his past (whether they are Legends or canon) have proved he’s an entertaining character. He might have gotten pigeonholed and sidelined in the later years of Legends novels, but he’s had a resurgence of late thanks to his appearance on Star Wars Rebels. Does Lando #1 continue the trend of giving Calrissian more of the spotlight he deserves? Thanks to a great art style, well-written characters, and a truly surprising twist, I would certainly say it does. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Lando #1”
