Part 2 of the StarWars.com Invasion preview is up. In other comic-on-the-web news, TOR’s Threat of Peace #8 is up.
EUbits: Sansweet’s 1000, Random Clones, Bohnhoff’s plotting and something gamey
Nonfiction. Here we have the cover for Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles. Steve Sansweet and Anne Neumann take us into the depths of Rancho Obi-Wan… Okay, maybe not the depths. Look for it October 1st.
Random. TheForce.Net has some random updates on upcoming books, mostly The Clone Wars kids stuff, which honestly I’m not even trying to keep track of. There is an episode guide that might be of interest to some.
A Padawan’s Journal. Bohnhoff on Plotting the Wily Star Wars Novel and First Impressions.
Games. Another Battlefront on the way. On that note, here’s the Threat of Peace web comic is now on #7.
EUbits: Adventures, Kemp, Bohnhoff, TCW, Invasion, Threat of Peace
- Preview: Take a peek at the first issue of the new Star Wars Adventures digest. Apparently some have found it in the UK, but there’s been no sign of it on Diamond so I wouldn’t go looking just yet.
- The Blogside: Paul S. Kemp has thoughts on writing Crosscurrent, while Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff has two updates in her Padawan’s Journal series: Protocol Droids and Velveteen Bunnies and Mistakes Were Made.
- The Clone Wars: Don’t expect to see a paperback of Karen Traviss’ Clone Wars novel anytime soon – There are no plans to release one, says Sue Rostoni. If you absolutely must have a paperback, look to the UK version.
- Comics: DarkHorse.com has a new From the Editor, about Invasion. (Nothing we don’t already know, but we can expect an announcement in a week or so.)
- Webcomics: Third and fourth updates in The Old Republic‘s Threat of Peace.
Video: New The Old Republic webdoc, comic
Bioware and LucasArts have released a new web documentary detailing the upcoming MMO. Also up is the second installment of the Threat of Peace webcomic.
The Old Republic web comic has begun
The first three pages of Threat of Peace, a tie-in webcomic to the upcoming MMO, went up today on The Old Republic site. It starts off Act 1, ‘Treaty of Coruscant.’
And, bonus, their ‘reader’ is pretty user-friendly….
The Clone Wars: I forgot it was Friday
Really. I actually thought it was Monday until about 3pm. Anyway, The Clone Wars returns tonight with ‘Dooku Captured’. StarWars.com has comments from director Jesse Yeh and a new webcomic, ‘Bait.’
The Clone Wars: It’s Friday and I have no clever
Tonight’s episode is ‘Lair of Grievous,’ which sounds kinda like a Scooby Doo episode. I’m not sure what that makes Kit Fisto, but considering who was present at Grievous’ debut it’s probably at least a little appropriate.
- Last week: I’m doing this earlier than usual, so ‘Cloak of Darkness’ isn’t up yet, but you’ll find it here when it does. In the meantime, watch the Takeuchi video!
- Webcomic: ‘The Dreams of General Grievous’ features all four artists and a peek at Grievous’ backstory.
- People: StarWars.com has Matthew Wood (Grievous) and Phil LaMarr (Kit Fisto.)
- Novels: Cover, blurb for book #3, Karen Traviss’ No Prisoners.
- Podcasts: EUC talks clones, while the Forcecast had Paul Dini and Kyle Newman.
- Spoilers: Guess who’s coming to The Clone Wars?
It’s Friday and The Clone Wars is back
Your only visual Star Wars fix returns with ‘Cloak of Darkness’ tonight, complete with…. Surprise James Marsters?!? (The hell?) In less shocking news, Ashley Eckstein and a new webcomic, ‘Transfer.’ UPDATE Annnnd Olivia d’Abo.
As for the fannish side of things, the ForceCast has Kevin Rubio and a ‘Bombad Jedi’ roundtable. Plus, the Galactic Senate message boards are holding a Clone Wars fanfic contest, with actual prizes and everything. (via)
It’s Friday, must be The Clone Wars
Prepare yourselves, Clone Wars fans: ‘Bombad Jedi’ airs tonight. But there is hope – it’s scripted by Kevin Rubio of Troops and Tag and Bink fame.
- Preview: The episode is teased with a new comic, Departure, and the second outing of the Holonet News audio.
- Nice try: io9 also has a clip and asks, will Jar-Jar die? Well, he does show up in Revenge of the Sith, albeit briefly…
- Last week: Watch ‘Duel of the Droids’ online.
It’s Friday and The Clone Wars is back
After a week of hiatus for Halloween, The Clone Wars returns tonight with “Downfall of a Droid.” Take a drink every time Ahsoka says “Artooey.”
- New webcomic, The Fall of Falleen; Writer George Krstic talks about Artoo.
- The Force-Cast as an interview with Krstic and a “Rookies” roundtable.
- The Clone Wars DVD comes out next week; TFN gathers the early reviews.
