Namesake corner. Artist Grant Gould did a Thrawn trilogy/Tron: Legacy mashup for the cover of his 2011 sketchbook. I LOL’ed.

I gotta see how they managed that. Apparently there’s a full-color excerpt from the Knight Errant comic in the Knight Errant novel. The paperback. It’s on glossy paper, but is it readable at that size? I guess we’ll find out. Maybe we should ask author John Jackson Miller, since he’s taking questions and all.

Map love. Entertainment Weekly dug up the galaxy map from The Essential Atlas, so it’s been making the rounds. Again! Oh, internets.

Comics. Dark Horse has posted a preview for Legacy: War #2.

Review. Book Legion says Year by Year is the “best Star Wars book to date.”

A century in five minutes!

Just in time for Christmas… The complete soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King will be released on November 6. Yup, all three hours and 50 minutes of score. Also, this is the first I’ve heard of a soundtrack book: The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films. And here I though it was Lucasfilm that left no revenue possibility unturned.

• MTV finds Harvard dude to talk more about crystal skulls. Bored now.

• Transformers in IMAX may be 5 minutes longer than standard release. So, fanboys: two extra pairs of underwear this time, okay?
• Buck Rodgers next up for ‘reimagining?’ Yes Hollywood, you have no shame. We know.
• Tron sequel gets director. Is this joke ever going to get a punchline?
• Speaking of, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem will give ‘fans’ a look at the Predator homeworld. It’s full of eels!
• Jessica Alba wants Fantastic offspring in next film. Spandex pregnancy padding: The final frontier.
• Kevin McKidd might show up in Thor film. But not as Thor, it seems. Sheesh. Why bother, then?
  

Forget the Potterdammrung: Footloose and Bill and Ted remakes? This can’t end well.

GENERAL

• Zachary Quinto as Spock? Leonard Nimoy, watch your back!

• Check out The Golden Compass posters! Daniel Craig looks bizarrely Hobbit-like.
• Tron is 25? Hehe, Tron.

SUPERHEROES

• Spider-Man movies look to keep on truckin’.

• Kevin Spacey to return as Lex Luthor. I still haven’t seen the first one. Will it ever come to HBO?
• Wolverine? Maybe.
