Holonet Blast #126

Posted on by

Hello friends! It’s time for your weekly Holonet Blast. It’s been a slow week, besides some unsubstantiated rumors about the Kenobi show, but we’ve got some awesome (and official) record-breaking news to report.

First, The Rise of Skywalker broke the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office on its 28th day of release. It’s now the fifth Star Wars film to reach this milestone. So much for Star Wars being dead, huh?

Second, Jen Heddle reported on Twitter that Star Wars #1 was the top-selling comic book of the decade! What an amazing accomplishment. In addition, Princess Leia #1 was the number 37 selling book. John Jackson Miller provided some additional context in the replies, noting that Star Wars #1 also sold more than any comic in the 2000s.

That’s it for this week! Hopefully we’ll get some Project Luminous and Clone Wars news soon? Yes?

Holonet Blast #135

Posted on by

It’s January, and you know what that means – awards season!

And this year, two different Star Wars properties (so far) have a chance to take home some hardware. The Rise of Skywalker was nominated for three different BAFTAs (original score, sound, and special visual effects), while Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, the phenomenal ongoing comic whose run ended in December, scored a nomination for the GLAAD award for outstanding comic book. Not bad for our favorite disaster lesbian! Finally, the Oscar nominations were just announced this morning and The Rise of Skywalker was nominated for Original Score, Sound Editing, and Visual Effects.

And in potentially the biggest Star Wars news of 2020 so far, R2-D2 is coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! Probably not with a translator though, since we all know R2 can be a little foul-mouthed and there are a lot of kids around at Disney.

That’s another week in the books – now back to feverishly refreshing Twitter to see when they announce details around Project Luminous.

It’s part three of our The Rise of Skywalker reactions! Now that we’ve spent some time unpacking what we thought of the film, we turn to the story, how it affects the universe we already know, and what we want to see going forward in the galaxy far, far away.
