Welcome back to another edition of the Holonet Blast where we’ve got a wide assortment of news from around the galaxy for you.
In gaming news, if your interest has been piqued by Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the Game Director released the full demo from E3 last week. It’s 25 minutes of play that was previously only shown behind closed doors and gives you an even better idea of what to expect from the game this fall.
In book and comic news, Star Wars is going to be included in the landmark Marvel #1000 issue in August. Charles Soule and Terry Dodson have creator duties for the one page story and are just one of eighty other creator teams taking part in Marvel extravaganza. Del Rey also released an excerpt from this month’s Thrawn: Treason in which a lot of high ranking Imperials sit down for a very nice and friendly chat and are definitely all friends. If audio’s your thing, there’s a little something there for you too. (The excerpt has zero Eli Vanto though so fair warning.)
SDCC convention exclusives were also announced this week. If you’re heading to the con later this month or have a really good friend willing to brave the lines for you, check them out. Or check them out even if you’re not going and drool with envy with the rest of us.
Finally, in geek fashion news, you’ll soon be able get Star Wars themed shoes from TOMS. The collection launches this week online and in stores and will feature designs inspired by the Original Trilogy. (On a related note, Po-Zu’s summer sale is currently going on and some of their Star Wars designs are included for pretty darn good prices so check it out.)
And that’s it for this week! For those of you in the States, have a safe holiday weekend and for the rest of you, enjoy your week!
