Holonet Blast #55

Tragically, unlike last week, this post does not heavily feature ewoks. Before you click away in disappointment, however, there is some ewok-related news, so take a moment to look over the news we do have:

Last week Empire revealed a few exclusive looks at Solo, the first of which is a glimpse of villain Dryden Vos, played by Paul Bettany. Empire also has an exclusive image from the Solo‘s Vandor Heist and has more Solo-related goodness in their newest issue.

Now for the aforementioned ewok-goodness: there is a special convention edition of Last Shot that that attendees of Phoenix Comic Fest have a chance to buy for $45. The book comes with a pin of the ewok hacker Peekpa as well as other, less-relevant-to-my-interests things like a tote bag, an exclusive dust jacket, and a poster. Information about all the neat stuff that comes with this edition of the book, and information about how to get a copy, can be found through the link. While it does involve going to the Del Rey booth (#1697), it is a little more complicated than just showing up and grabbing a book, so I very much recommend checking out the link.

In Episode IX news, Victoria Mahoney will be the second unit director for the film, becoming the first black woman to direct Star Wars! Congratulations to her!

And back to Solo news! Yesterday Ron Howard tweeted that post-production has officially been wrapped up!

That’s it for this week! Tune in next time for…possibly more ewoks, I guess?
