“Welcome to the Resistance.” – Leia Organa, and, probably, Dave Filoni.

That’s right, this week Star Wars Resistance was finally announced as our newest animated series based in the galaxy far, far away. Filoni, who previously worked on and created Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, respectively, said that this will be an anime-inspired show about a young pilot recruited to spy on the burgeoning First Order. (Editor’s Note: Bria is VERY excited about Christopher Sean being a part of the voice cast.) With voice roles by Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie already announced, it’s a safe bet that Resistance will tie in heavily with both the sequel trilogy and, possibly, some characters that we just said goodbye to in Rebels.

In other news this week, Lucasfilm and the team behind StarWars.com won three 2018 Webby Awards. But they’re not the only winners, because we, the fans, get to step inside the Millennium Falcon  – at least, if you live in northern Kentucky, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, or Denver. Slightly smaller (but it could still make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs) is the scale model of everyone’s favorite freighter made out of – you guessed it – SOLO cups.

Meanwhile, Disneyland will be adding a second Star Wars Nite to their schedule next week, as part of their popular “Disneyland After Dark” series. Presumably, they’ll use the profits from ticket sales to fund their legal defense after being sued by Ren Ventures, who own the trademark to the game Sabacc.

Finally, in Tosche Station-specific news, a new Vorkosiverse novella, “The Flowers of Vashnoi”, will be gracing the screens of thousands of e-readers soon, and Nanci is here. for. it.

That’s a wrap for this week – stay classy and may the Force be with you.

Tragically, unlike last week, this post does not heavily feature ewoks. Before you click away in disappointment, however, there is some ewok-related news, so take a moment to look over the news we do have:

Last week Empire revealed a few exclusive looks at Solo, the first of which is a glimpse of villain Dryden Vos, played by Paul Bettany. Empire also has an exclusive image from the Solo‘s Vandor Heist and has more Solo-related goodness in their newest issue.

Now for the aforementioned ewok-goodness: there is a special convention edition of Last Shot that that attendees of Phoenix Comic Fest have a chance to buy for $45. The book comes with a pin of the ewok hacker Peekpa as well as other, less-relevant-to-my-interests things like a tote bag, an exclusive dust jacket, and a poster. Information about all the neat stuff that comes with this edition of the book, and information about how to get a copy, can be found through the link. While it does involve going to the Del Rey booth (#1697), it is a little more complicated than just showing up and grabbing a book, so I very much recommend checking out the link.

In Episode IX news, Victoria Mahoney will be the second unit director for the film, becoming the first black woman to direct Star Wars! Congratulations to her!

And back to Solo news! Yesterday Ron Howard tweeted that post-production has officially been wrapped up!

That’s a wrap on post production! #Solo @HanSoloStory #SkywalkerRanch Wow. What a movie-making adventure it’s been! Thanks to a terrific cast & extraordinary folks behind the camera as well. You’ve worked so hard to fully realize this cool story. Hope fans have a blast! #May25 pic.twitter.com/SeSSXZirBZ

That’s it for this week! Tune in next time for…possibly more ewoks, I guess?
