Holonet Blast #68

Posted on by

It’s San Diego Comic-Con week which means there’s a heck of a lot of news so let’s get right to it!

To start off, we have the home release dates for Solo! It will be available in the US on digital, Movies Anywhere, and 4K UHD on September 14th and on Blu-Ray on the 25th.

And if you like Hallmark Star Wars goodies, you can take a peak at some of their 2019 product line up, including mugs, itty bitties, a wookiee apron (I have…concerns……..about this product’s implications………….), and ornaments (SCOUT TROOPER ON A SPEEDER BIKE!!).

Meanwhile, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS IS COMING BACK! Certainly one of, if not the, biggest Star Wars announcements to come out of San Diego Comic-Con this past week, there are 12 new episodes coming to Disney’s streaming service at a yet-to-be-announced date. We don’t yet have a ton of information about the new episodes, but we have a teaser trailer and the announcement on the official site includes an interview with showrunner Dave Filoni about the show’s return, so check that out!

Hasbro has some neat new releases coming up including Black Series figures for Chopper and Ezra and another Darth Revan figure.

In comics news, IDW will be releasing an all-ages five-issue mini-series of spooky Star Wars tales throughout October, called Tales from Vader’s Castle. It will feature characters from across the Star Wars timeline, including characters from Rebels, Dooku, ewoks, someone from Adventures of Wild Space, and more. You can read an interview with the creative team in the link.

And, finally, you can check out the highlights of the SDCC Star Wars publishing panel here. A lot happened. Like a Padmé novel by E.K. Johnston and a Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan novel by Claudia Gray! The link has a full list of the recently announced upcoming releases but other notable ones include a Solo comic adaptation and a maxi-series that will cover all three film eras.
