Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
John Jackson Miller’s Lost Tribe is expanding it’s reach. In addition to the upcoming paperback collection of (mostly) previously-published stories, there’s a five-issue comic series on the horizon, USA Today has revealed.
Dark Horse will launch The Lost Tribe of the Sith comic on August 8. Written by Miller with art by Andrea Mutti, the series will focus on the Lost Tribe “in an age of discovery and optimism.”
StarWars.com has a tease from the Disney Weekends trailer – which most of us won’t get to see until after the Weekends are done and/or it leaks – to hold you over.
StarWars.com’s May 4th gift to EU fans is the entire second chapter of the upcoming Timothy Zahn book. And some other stuff, like a preview of Darth Maul: Death Sentence and Darth Vader and Son wallpapers. And the Fate of the Jedi writers talking about the series. But mostly Scoundrels.
Go forth and buy! They have the Padme and logo burnout tees, too.
No, random people on the internet, we’re not impressed by your pun. Still, we expect there to be plenty of actual Star Wars news today. Gird yourselves, true believers.

As part of the launch, the first 50 people to buy Her Universe tomorrow will get a free tote bag. And yes, international folks: They ship all over the world!
Yesterday afternoon, Moviefone.com (a division of AOL) posted an article by Jessie Heyman initially entitled “Girl’s Guide To The Avengers: What You Need To Know If You Know Nothing.” After the internet community got a hold of the article (including yours truly) and the outrage began to spawn on Twitter and other sites, the title was amended to “One Girl’s Guide…” because, according to the Editor’s note that was inserted, the intent was not to make female superhero fans feel marginalized and the satirical nature of the piece didn’t come through.

Yes, we’ve been so starved for actual news about Celebration VI that even this is news. And yes, we were all totally expecting this. But MTV’s Woodsy has confirmed that there will be Celebration VI announcements. And that’s good enough for me.
Also: An online Clone Wars marathon, eCards, a free app, some sales, and etc. But Celebration VI news is what we really want, yes? (Well, and new Her Universe stuff.)
Also, you should stock up on reaction GIFs, because I’m thinking of starting the day off here with a GIF party. Thoughts?
The Clone Wars Facebook page has a new cover image – and some are speculating it’s a shot from Season 5. Could be!
