Some More Trailers for Neat Star Wars Stuff!

Star Wars Celebration went on all weekend, and after the big real of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker and it’s trailer, we’ve now got trailers for a new video game and the resurrected season of the Clone Wars cartoon. So neat Star Wars stuff is still coming to our universe!

First up, let’s check out that sweet Clone Wars trailer!

Looks pretty neat! I was late in getting on board both Clone Wars and Rebels, but both turned out great! So another batch of Clone Wars episode should be sweet!

Then there’s the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It’s supposed to be a single-player game about a young padawan rising to become a Jedi in the post-Revenge of the Sith time period. I’m more hesitant about this.

I’ll see what the reviews say before I buy this game. This is a character/setting combination we’ve seen plenty of times before. Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels was exactly this. And I’m rather bummed that the main character is your standard bland white guy with brown hair. They couldn’t have come up with an alien padawan? Those existed, you know!

Sadly, Star Wars didn’t release the trailer for The Mandalorian TV show, despite playing it for the audience at Celebration. Wonder why they held that one back. Maybe they want to give it its own big release in a couple months.

Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Looks Pretty Cool

We have a name. We have a teaser trailer. Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker will arrive in theaters in December!

Looks cool. I especially like that Emperor Palpatine laugh at the end. If it’s revealed that his Force Ghost has been behind the First Order this whole time, then I’m definitely going to forgive Star Wars for everything related to Snoke.

I don’t really have any expectations or hopes or dreams for this film. I thought The Force Awakens was too much of a remake of A New Hope to be all that great, and while I enjoyed The Last Jedi when I saw it, I’m pretty lukewarm about it these days (but not for any of the reasons most people bitch about TLJ online). So I dunno…let’s hope it’s good!

I hate the name, though. The Rise of Skywalker? Ugh.

A Good Yoda Cartoon is a Good Way to Start a Monday

The Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures shorts are still coming out, and they’re still great! This one is about Yoda’s full journey.

I need to write more meaningful articles again. I had a busy past two weeks, but things have calmed down and I need to get back to work! I didn’t even write anything about James Gunn getting re-instated for Guardians of the Galaxy 3! This is exactly what I hoped would happen, that Disney was just waiting for the dust to settle before course-correcting. I’m so happy he’s back!

Let’s Enjoy Some Radical Star Wars Animated Bits!

These have been popping up as part of a project for Star Wars Kids and/or Galaxy of Adventures. Something like that. Suffice to say, they are radical as all heck!

Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader

Yoda vs. Count Dooku

Here’s hoping we get a bunch more of these. They’re just plain neat.

Check Out This Nifty Star Wars Thing!

The Internet is full of Star Wars things. Largely because people really like Star Wars, especially classic Star Wars. Well check out this nifty anime version!

Created by Dmitry Grozov, this is a rather nifty Star Wars thing. The animation is crisp, invoking that classic anime feel, while also being pure Star Wars. I daresay this might be the finest thing currently on the Internet.
