Holonet Blast #89

Hello and welcome back to yet another episode of Holonet Blast. Edition. We mean edition, not episode. (Listen, it’s Monday morning.) It was a quieter week than last but it’s quality over quantity, right?

First up, Star Wars Resistance is back! If you haven’t watched it yet, go watch last night “Bibo” and then read our review. The mid-season trailer made us feel a lot of things and this is fine, everything’s fine, NO ONE IS GOING TO DIE! Resistance has been renewed for Season 2 which generally delights us around here. Seriously, why are some of you sleeping on this show?!

Star Wars Celebration guest announcements are rolling in again and this time, it’s voice actors! Expect to see Resistance’s Christopher Sean, Suzie McGrath, Scott Lawrence; James Arnold Taylor, Matthew Wood, and (the person who made my text and Twitter notifications break) Janina Gavankar! All six will be at the convention signing autographs and meeting fans.

Finally, in sadder news, it seems that Kieron Gillen will be leaving the main Star Wars comic after issue #67/the “Scourging of Sho-Torun” arc. Per his newsletter, “No present plans to write anything else in Star Wars – I suspect I’ve said all I’ve wanted to about these characters in comics. At least in this period, anyway.” (H/T to Comics with Kenobi for catching this.)

And that’s all for this week!
