While the Expanded Universe books, video games, comics and scrimshaw have been declared non-canon, the 1980s Star Wars role playing game is about to become canonical. Star Wars Rebels will reportedly use material from Star Wars: The Role Playing Game published by West End Games.

Today’s Daily Deal at Entertainment Earth is for 25% off 15 Star Wars Lego Sets. Two of the sets included in the sale are Darth Malgus’ awesome Fury Class Sith Interceptor and the Rancor Pit. I own both and can vouch for them.
We’ve received word that solicitations are being made for a new 8 figure assortment of the 6” Black Series line. You’ll definitely want to hit the jump for the exact case assortment before you feel tempted to dip into the secondary market.

The unfortunate mostly carry forward 3.75” line wave 5 is available for pre-order.
Harrison Ford’s ankle was injured by the door of the Millennium Falcon on the set of Episode VII and he had to be taken to a local hospital. Shooting will continue while Captain Solo recuperates. Somewhere George Lucas is saying, “Take THAT practical effects!”
Set your DVR’s. The highly anticipated Phineas and Ferb Star Wars special will premiere on the Disney Channel at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Saturday, July 26th. Somewhat odd considering the post two below this one is the news that Simon Pegg will be an special guest voice actor for the episode along with the hosts of Mythbusters.
Site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store is now taking pre-orders for Wave 5 of the Black Series 6” Line which includes the bumped Chewbacca as well as the unbelievably overdue Darth Vader. The black pauldron Sandtrooper and Jedi Luke round out the case which makes this the best case assortment to date in my opinion.
According to IGN Middle East, Simon Pegg, known by some for his work with Edgar Wright and Nick Frost and by most for his role as Scotty in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot, was spotted on-set in Abu Dhabi shooting scenes for Episode VII. There is no indication as to the size of the role which could be something as small as a wink to the audience for Pegg’s established geek cred and prior collaborations with JJ Abrams.
Thank you to Darth Mire for bringing this to our attention.
Where are my fellow baseball card collectors from the late eighties and early nineties? Remember when Topps, Fleer, Donrus, Score and Upper Deck flooded the market with so many different sets and sublines that it saturated the market. You went from a player having a single card in a given year to having three to having twenty plus in a few short years, and the market collectively said “no mas”. According to the web site PopCritica, Bandai has announced that its S.H Figuarts line has added the Star Wars license. How many different Darth Vaders will I be tacking down until I say “no mas”?
USA Today has provided updated information on the SDCC Exclusive Darth Vader Hot Wheels set. The price will be a somewhat eye popping $40 and the set will include a lightsaber case and light-up features.
Likely trying to cash in on the tourism boom that Star Wars has brought to Tunisia, the chief executive of twofour54, an Abu Dhabi media consulting firm, revealed that ways to preserve the Episode VII film sets are being explored. The sets are being curated until a permanent display home can be arranged which will probably be on Saadiyat Island.
Coming out of E3 is news that Battlefront 3 will see a spring 2015 release as well as this new trailer. Some of the in-engine footage is insane:
