He said something along the lines of “dead skin cells, dust, and mucus.”

I can tell you that order in the line of dialog was rather downplaying what rheum actually is... by and large it’s 99.99% mucus

Yeah, I don’t know what Disney will or won’t allow to be on screen. But I feel like now that Vader knows about them (and particularly Ahsoka), it seems unlikely he will let up. If they’re not killed they’d have to completely go into hiding like Ben did.

Nah, the eye stuff is mostly mucus. So really, it’s Booger Monsters

I think we all have an idea of what probably happened :(

The article you linked to already lists several errors in the book - the thing about Ackbar is just one more. There’s no post-EU-purge source for that, and Ackbar has never been an engineer in canon sources (Clone Wars and ROTJ).

None of that is correct, sorry.

I really like the writers’ rationale behind why this cell of the Rebellion has A- and B- wings when in the movies we don’t see them until ROTJ. It’s because of specifically that reason - this is a different group from the one we see in ANH (that one was led by Dodonna). The Alliance Fleet seen in ROTJ has ships from…

Quarrie calls the fighter a Blade Wing, not a “Bleed” wing.

Yeah, the production version seen in ROTJ has lost its gunner seat. Presumably the super-laser bugs could not be worked out.

Correct - producers said so specifically

I gotta say, to me the Quantum organization always did feel like a slow burn set-up for SPECTRE, even before learning that it specifically was since they didn’t have rights to the name at the time. Silva portrayed himself as more of a tech-mercenary for hire. No explicit connections to Quantum/SPECTRE but Skyfall…

What the heck was the Tosca sequence in Quantum for then if not exactly this?

Rob... Maybe that first team pic is new but io9 itself already reported on the Hawk-costumes back in September, with the very same picture of the duo:

The plan was always, if they were allowed, to crossover with Constantine. It was part of the season 2 renewal pitch.

Prady worked with Jim Henson on a handful of muppet productions in the late 80s/early 90s. I’m no fan of BBT but he got his start with Henson productions. There are probably worse producers to have.

Again, comic books are books too.

Yeah, that was a Discovery Center rather than a LEGOland park. Later they apologized and brought them back after the bad press http://lego.gizmodo.com/old-cancer-sic…

They only turn you away if you’re a lone adult with no child, not multiple adults with no kid

Here’s the other reason they aren’t doing Slave Leia stuff any more: It sells really really poorly! Anytime there’s a SL action figure it pegwarms real bad...

TV as we know it will not exist in 5 or 10 years. CBS is just getting ahead of the game.
