Review: Star Wars: Myths & Fables

Posted on by

From the minute one picks up a copy, it is immediately obvious that Star Wars: Myths & Fables is not like other Star Wars books. Written by George Mann with illustrations by Grant Griffin, Myths & Fables collects nine brand new stories set in the galaxy far, far away, some of which feature familiar faces and others which star completely new characters. Throughout the book though runs an inherent sense of the galaxy and the sort of stories that bring all of us together. Myths and fables are, after all, universal. Continue reading →

Review: A Crash of Fate

Posted on by

Although Star Wars has plenty of well-known romances, it could always use another love story. Thankfully, Lucasfilm is giving us exactly that this summer with one of its Galaxy’s Edge tie-ins A Crash of Fate by Zoraida Córdova. Out today, the novel tells the story of Izzy Garsea and Jules Rakab, two childhood friends who are brought back together thirteen years later for one wild day on Batuu that neither of them ever saw coming. To get out of the fine mess they’ve found themselves in, they’re going to have to trust each other and hope luck’s on their side… and just maybe also see if love’s around the corner too.

Holonet Blast #115

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to another Holonet Blast! We don’t have that much for you this week but, well, D23 is coming so might as well enjoy the calm before the storm, right?

Speaking of D23, attendees can expect to be the first to experience Disney+ before it launches in November. There will be a spotlight panel on Friday, August 23 and a Disney+ Pavilion on the Expo room floor.

Attendees of D23 will also be the first to get a sneak peak at Vader Immortal: Episode II. That panel will also be on Friday.

And finally, while this isn’t *precisely* news, I’m going to talk about it here anyways. A Crash of Fate will be in bookstores everywhere tomorrow and we’ll have a review posted BUT! If you’re in the DC/Virginia area, consider coming out to One More Page on Saturday. I’ll be doing a Q&A with author Zoriada Córdova at 3pm and then there will be a signing with Zoraida afterwards. Plus, you’ll have the chance to support a wonderful indie bookstore. Come talk Star Wars with us! It’ll be fun!

Holonet Blast #114

Posted on by

Hey there everyone! News this week has been slight, which is no big surprise following San Diego Comic Con. But there is one delightful development to report.

Star Wars Resistance Season One is coming to DVD (but not to BluRay). The Emmy-nominated animated series will hit the home video market on August 20th and will include all 21 episodes from Season One and content the producers are calling “essential bonus features” including audio commentary, bonus shorts, and a sneak peek behind the scenes. The DVDs should hit stores just in time for fans to brush up on the series before Season 2 begins this fall.

As always, send Star Wars news tips to Tosche Station, and send Resistance Season 2 predictions to @MandaTheGinger
