Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Ewan at swbooks.co.uk spotted yet another blurb at Amazon.co.uk. This one is for Karen Traviss’ Imperial Commando: 501st. And in related news, Random House is now giving the book a release date of October 27, moving back from September 29.
Once again, remember these Amazon blurbs are unconfirmed information! And it looks like this one contains spoilers for Order 66, so it’s black-barred under the cut. Continue reading “Another blurb from Amazon UK: 501st“
More new info spotted by Ewan of SWBooks.co.uk! Along with Deathtroopers, he spotted some brief Fate of the Jedi blurbs. The first, for Golden’s Omen, echos what we got in last week’s full copy from the official site. The other, for Denning’s Abyss (third book in the series) is all-new. Read it beneath the cut, but again, remember this isn’t confirmed information. Continue reading “Fate of the Jedi: First Abyss blurb spotted”
Ewan of SWBooks.co.uk has written to let us know that a blurb for Deathtroopers has appeared on Amazon.co.uk. Read it under the cut, but keep in mind that Amazon (of any stripe) has never been the most reliable source for new copy! Particularly given that the time placement in this blurb contradicts things from official sources. Continue reading “New Deathtroopers blurb on Amazon UK”
A fan at TFN discovered a listing for a Luke Skywalker bio by Ryder Windham on Amazon, due out in September. And while we haven’t any official confirmation, previous sightings have been known to follow through.
UPDATE: Ryder Windham told EUC: “Yes, I have written a bio-novel for Luke Skywalker.”
IGN had multiple sources saying that the in-development Indiana Jones game has been canceled. Kotaku has a vague response from LucasArts that could mean anything.
I’m not sure exactly how long it takes to make the things, but I believe the last we heard of it was early footage/teasers for it around the same time as The Force Unleashed was getting teased – back before Celebration IV. I’m inclined to write it off… Particularly after the long, rumorful runup to the The Old Republic announcement, or the years of buzz overload (okay, there were a few delays) that paved the way for The Force Unleashed. On the other hand, with Bioware handling TOR and TFU out and about, maybe Indy is next up on the LucasArts plate. No doubt we’ll hear something… eventually.
TFN has a source saying that there are tentative plans to release the first set of The Clone Wars DVDs – the first part of the season – on March 25th. (A Wednesday? One strike.)
Assuming Cartoon Network takes no more breaks, the season’s last episode will air on the 20th… And perhaps the second half on DVD in June, if any of this pans out.
UPDATE: And things just got a lot more solid… it’s in Previews! Click over to the TFN link for scans.
Both Lying in the Gutters and SF Crowsnest are calling Eleven for Paterson Joseph, who has been considered a leading contender for the role. He is reportedly the favorite of new showrunner Steven Moffat, and would be the series’ first black Doctor.
Joseph did play a bit part in Series 1, but as anyone who remembers Hercules and Xena will tell you, that rarely matters.
“Duel of the Droids” airs on Cartoon Network tonight. (Preview with the latest webcomic, Discount.) Don’t forget the new Saturday morning reruns.
io9 goes inside The Clone Wars DVD so we don’t have to. Also roaming around online is a ‘complete list’ of titles for season 1 of the TV show, at least some of which seem to have originated on the DVD.
