We’re continuing our discussion on season 1 of THE MANDALORIAN – where do we want the show to go from here? What does it change about what we know and don’t know about Mandalore, the Darksaber, and Bo-Katan Kryze? Tune in as we look at where Din, Baby Yoda, Cara, and co. fit into the Star Wars universe.

Holonet Blast #127

News!

Happy Monday, y’all. Not a huge news week, but definitely some stuff we’re looking forward to–like the return of (MY BELOVED) Star Wars: The Clone Wars (I would die for Fives, please don’t get it twisted). Check out the trailer in that tweet and look for it streaming on Disney+ beginning February 21st.

In unsurprising news most of us found out about via Twitter, John Williams has another Grammy, bringing his total up to 25! (But who’s counting?) This time it’s in the Best Instrumental Composition for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Symphonic Suite. It’s available to stream places, so if you’re like me and haven’t been able to actually make it to Galaxy’s Edge, you can still hear the award-winning suite and pretend you’re in Orlando… er, I mean on Batuu. (Either sounds great in the middle of winter, if you ask me.)

Over in Disneyland (where you can also hear the Symphonic Suite mentioned above), there are some exciting things going on in Galaxy’s Edge. Click through to see the recently opened Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction, hear about building your own droids to take home, and read all about Star Wars Nite coming on the first night of Star Wars Celebration, August 27th. (Can’t imagine having any trouble getting my hands on those tickets…)

And to round things out, we have BOOK NEWS!

Star Wars: Poe Dameron: Free Fall, is officially slated for Aug. 4, 2020. Written by Alex Segura of the Peter Fernandez mystery series, and with cover art by Alice X. Zhang, the YA novel will wind back the clock to before Poe was a hot-headed pilot to a time when he was just a hot-headed teenager.

We’re excited to get this one on the list to read over at Book Wars Pod–especially given our issues with Poe’s checkered past (newly-introduced via The Rise of Skywalker) being painted with a bit of an overly-broad brush.

That’s it for this week. MTFBWY and all that jazz–happy February.

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?
