“Finn, Rey, Poe Dameron. My name is Mace Windu. Have you heard of... the Jedi Initiative?”

I’d say the test is whether it makes sense to read the novels in any order. If I read Vol. 3, only to find repeated references to things the characters did back in Volumes 1 & 2, they they aren’t “standalone.” Lots of free-standing novels make use of a common world; I think most of Pratchett’s Discworld series can be…

I still don't understand Gotham. If it's establishing all the villains rising before the Batman ever shows up, it also makes them all like 20 years older than him. No wonder the Batman kicks everyone's asses. By the time he's 25 & getting into his physical prime, he's beating up on 40-50-somethings.

There was a guy selling a Black Series Phasma on Amazon for like $125, and all the reviews were one star, telling people to just spend $25 at Target :)

I’d like to see Thanos as a Don Draper/Tony Soprano “I’m surrounded by idiots” type. Just lots of face-palming and eye-rolling.

I admittedly skipped to the ending third of Lost Stars to try to get straight to Endor, but it stuck (almost?) exclusively to the space battle — hence the absence of Han, Leia, and Luke — and Aftermath is similarly light on them, although outside of that Han chapter Wedge is one of the leads (so hey it ain’t free of…

Late as hell reply, but the Lost Stars and Aftermath novels have almost nothing to do with the Solos and the Skywalkers other than one interlude chapter of Aftermath from Han’s POV — where he does NOT interact with the main characters thereof.

How are a Polish person and a gawker commenter going to do it better? : )

It’s Johns who made Best Grandpa Jay a thing, and it’s probably his machinations that got Jay and the other JSA alums into the CWverse, so here’s to hoping we get the best of both worlds...pun not intented!

For now, I’ll just assume this ship has been repaired and upgraded ever since the Battle of Yavin and the battles it’s seen did involve losing a significant piece of the bridge.

I like that it’s a little lower profile. I think they’ve learned that putting the ISD’s shield generators in wacking great “HEY STARFIGHTER PLEASE SHOOT ME” balls on the top of the surprisingly-open-to-attack bridge wasn’t the smartest idea from Imperial Engineering.

I’m sorry, but no. Not even close. Dinklage was distinctive. North just sounds like stereotypical robot...voiced by nathan drake.

Once you give up doughnuts, you can’t think of anything else. You don’t know his pain! :/

That's a lot of stars you got there bud.

Go put your tinfoil hat back on.

I’m not going to read it. I bet it doesn’t change the movie one bit.

Yeah, io9 really took this “Everything is Canon” thign waaaaaayyyyy too seriously and literally. It is obvious to me that what Lucasfilm meant was that everything new EU product would be vetted by the Lucasfilm story committee to ensure it doesn’t contradict anything else they have released or planned. This way, they…

I love Out-of-Context Theatre.

NNOOOOOOOooooo....! That’d be awful if that was written into the storyline LOL!

What a twist! [/M. Night Shyamalan]
