Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
EUC nabbed Lucasfilm Licensing editor Sue Rostoni to talk about Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi, and other EU works past, present, and future.
A very interesting Q&A with JJ Abrams about the upcoming Star Trek movie.
He’s still trying to find a way to explain how he’s going to keep the original fans happy while keeping casual moviegoers entertained.
At least he appreciates that he’s never going to make the nitpickers happy. There’s just a whole level of Trekdom that no one will ever win over unless The Great Bird rises again. (And probably not even then.)
Keep boldly going, JJ! (via)
Back in December, Joss Whedon was interviewed by Kim Werker of Crochet Me. They discussed his thoughts on what he describes as the ‘desperate rivalry between knitters and crocheters’, why crafters should watch Firefly, his secret past as a crocheter and knitter, and of course the ever popular Jayne Hat.
How did Kim score the interview? By getting the entire geekcraft community to shout for his attention, of course.

The pacifist lemur storyline came to an end with ‘Defenders of Peace.’ I think they need an entire episode of Palpatine laughing his bum off after this.
EU Cantina has posted their Matthew Stover interview, while Lightsabre talks to Karen Miller. Also at EUC, The Force Unleashed’s Adrienne Wilkinson.
What can you expect from tonight’s ‘Jedi Crash?’ Well, it co-stars famed comic export Aayla Secura. (She’s… French?) And some injury bonding for Anakin and Ahsoka. Check out the latest webcomic, ‘Headgames,’ for a quick preview.
Editor Dave Marshall talks a wee bit about Knights Of The Old Republic #37, plus a nine page preview. (Alas, the issue didn’t come out yesterday – at least not if you believe Diamond.)
Meanwhile, CBR has John Jackson Miller, John Ostrander, Jan Duursema and Randy Stradley to talk about Vector now that it’s done – and/or the first trade is imminent, depending on your point of view. But the piece does contain spoilers.
Lightsabre has nabbed some big names for their latest Star Wars interviews: The Phantom Menace’s Jake Lloyd and prequel stuntmaster Nick Gillard. And EUC is scouting questions for The Force Unleashed’s Maris Brood, Adrienne Wilkinson.
And continuing slashy subtext week… Friday’s ‘The Gungan General’ featured Jedi in chains. And hanging from things. (And Jar Jar.) I hope it was good for you, girls. In other news, Dave Filioni throws out a crossover plot bunny with Staff of Ra!
