Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Rebels will survive to fight another day – or at least a season. Lucasfilm and Disney XD have announced that the show will continue for a fourth season next fall, and that we’ll get “more details” and “an announcement” at Celebration Orlando.
The third season of the show is due to wrap up this month, leaving Celebration free and clear for future hype.
Variety reports that Michael K. Williams (The Wire, Boardwalk Empire) is in talks to join Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s Han Solo spinoff. They had no details on his character or role.
Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Woody Harrelson and Emilia Clarke are the confirmed cast members of the movie, which is filming now.
A special limited edition of Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn will be on sale at Celebration. The hardcover features a full face of Thrawn and printed endpapers, and will come with a not-yet-identified “extra special gift.”
The white cover is the standard edition, while the black cover is a Barnes & Noble exclusive.
The book is out April 11, so if you want the special edition, you’ll have to hold off a few days. Celebration Orlando begins on April 13.
And a tiny bit of March. Because it’s not like much happened, right?
USA Today has an excerpt of Chapter 2 from Timothy Zahn’s first canon novel, Thrawn, out in April. It features Thrawn’s first meeting with Palpatine.

Lucasfilm files trademark application for Star Wars: Rivals. Everything about this screams some sort of game to me.
Well, since our “unaltered” original trilogy rumor, there’s been a bit of news… Or not, depending on how plugged in you are on the issue. For those of us who shrug at the rigmarole, there’s a new Rumor Control from Bobby at Full of Sith that lays it all out.
In short, maybe George Lucas will show up at Celebration. Who knows? Not any of us, that’s for sure.
Coming Wednesday is Star Wars #29, featuring… Yoda and a rock thing that looks kind of like Thanos? You do you, Marvel.
