San Diego Comic-Con is here, and StarWars.com has snapshots from Preview night. (Watch their Flickr for stuff from today/tonight.) Of special note for EU fans: The cover to John Jackson Miller’s Knight Errant novel. Newsflash: It snows.
- The Westboro Baptist Church showed up. There was mockery. It was genius. Trekkie, I salute you.
- Joss Whedon is directing The Avengers. Officially.
- Boba Fett is going to be in The Force Unleashed II, raising the game’s level of fanboy pandering to critical levels.
The geek girls panel was this evening, but I’m not seeing any reports just yet… It did launch a hashtag, though.
Oh, Boba Fett is going to be in a video game. Surprise, surprise. Another mid-game mini boss role, perhaps? Certainly, yes.
Remember when Boba Fett was kind of mysterious? When sightings of the character were a rare occurrence? Back before the EU started getting smaller and smaller as it got bigger and bigger, and the things that used to be rare all became running gag cameos? I can’t say that I dislike the character, but my vanished teenage self certainly never foresaw a day when I would be so friggin’ TIRED of him.
I have to say though, I’ll be interested to see how the Knight Errant novel turns out. I like JJM’s comics work quite a bit, but whether that’s telling of his prose or not remains to be seen.
Is knight Errant a hard back release? Getting slightly tired of the current trend towards hard backing everything. Expensive it is!
That has to be my favorite Westboro counter-protest ever. Good for the nerds :D
It’s a paperback.
Hellooo, automatic purchase.
It’s in my amazon wish list, as are all SW books not yet released lol
