“Welcome to the Resistance.” – Leia Organa, and, probably, Dave Filoni.

That’s right, this week Star Wars Resistance was finally announced as our newest animated series based in the galaxy far, far away. Filoni, who previously worked on and created Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, respectively, said that this will be an anime-inspired show about a young pilot recruited to spy on the burgeoning First Order. (Editor’s Note: Bria is VERY excited about Christopher Sean being a part of the voice cast.) With voice roles by Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie already announced, it’s a safe bet that Resistance will tie in heavily with both the sequel trilogy and, possibly, some characters that we just said goodbye to in Rebels.

In other news this week, Lucasfilm and the team behind StarWars.com won three 2018 Webby Awards. But they’re not the only winners, because we, the fans, get to step inside the Millennium Falcon  – at least, if you live in northern Kentucky, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, or Denver. Slightly smaller (but it could still make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs) is the scale model of everyone’s favorite freighter made out of – you guessed it – SOLO cups.

Meanwhile, Disneyland will be adding a second Star Wars Nite to their schedule next week, as part of their popular “Disneyland After Dark” series. Presumably, they’ll use the profits from ticket sales to fund their legal defense after being sued by Ren Ventures, who own the trademark to the game Sabacc.

Finally, in Tosche Station-specific news, a new Vorkosiverse novella, “The Flowers of Vashnoi”, will be gracing the screens of thousands of e-readers soon, and Nanci is here. for. it.

That’s a wrap for this week – stay classy and may the Force be with you.
