Holonet Blast #116

Posted on by

Hey everyone! It’s time for a Galaxy’s Edge-heavy edition of the Holonet Blast, which is appropriate considering I visited Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World for the very first time yesterday! It was absolutely amazing and everything I’ve ever wanted. I got to BE a Star War! But for now, on to the news!

First off, Luke Skywalker is your guide in a new book called The Secrets of the Jedi, by Marc Sumerak. It will be released on November 19 from Insight Editions, and will feature commentary from Luke on the Jedi Order throughout the past and into the present.

Star Wars Roll Out, a new series of animated shorts for the Star Wars Kids YouTube channel, debuted on August 9. Created by Hideo Itoyanagi, the shorts depict the Star Wars characters in the style of beloved droid BB-8. It looks adorable.

If you’re lucky enough to have been to Galaxy’s Edge, you know it has some of the best quick service meals on property, in addition to other treats and drinks. Thanks to a new cookbook, you can recreate these items at home. Released in November, just in time for the holiday season, the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Cookbook is also written by Sumerak and released by Insight Editions.

Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World opens on August 29, and to celebrate WDW will be hosting several merchandise events. Ashley Eckstein from Her Universe will be signing at Launch Bay Cargo in Hollywood Studios on August 17. Also at Launch Bay Cargo, on August 18, artists Craig Fraser, Kevin-John, William Silvers, and Charles Wissig will be meeting guests and signing art created just for Galaxy’s Edge. Finally, on August 28, authors Delilah Dawson and Zoraida Córdova will be available to sign copies of their novels Black Spire and A Crash of Fate, while comic creators Ethan Sacks and Will Sliney will be on hand to sign copies of the comic Galaxy’s Edge.

Won’t be able to get to Galaxy’s Edge on either coast for awhile? Don’t worry, Disney has got you covered. The Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge special will air on Freeform network on September 29, and will showcase all parts of the land, including a preview of the Rise of the Resistance attraction, scheduled to open in December in Walt Disney World and January in Disneyland.

That’s the news for the week! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to pass out and dream of Batuu all night long.

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!
