Okay, I admit it.  This one is a little off beat.  But as someone who has dreamed his collection had some sort of philanthropic destiny (* cough * Ranch Obi-wan * cough *), I thought this was cool.  Lifelong Star Wars fan, Cory Rogers, and his brother Cory have their collection on display in the Georgia Room of the Augusta-Richmond County Library.

We go back to the beginning by adding 17 images of the first (numerically) figure in the Black Series 3.75” scale.  Padmé Amidala from the Geonosis Arena Battle joins the photo archive.

There is another another?  After closing numerous interstitial ads, the sight Slash Film reports that Pablo Hidalgo, Lucas Films Star Wars expert, suggested that Star Wars Rebels might have some Jedi influence despite only two known Jedi during that time period in the Star Wars universe.

The chairman of Walt Disney Studios, Alan Horn, was quoted via tweet confirming that Episode VII will get a summer 2015 release.  Given that Avengers 2 is scheduled for May 2015, there was some speculation that Disney could push Episode VII to a holiday release so their two tent pole movies wouldn’t be competing with each other.

Every once in a while, someone pens something that organizes your jumbled thoughts into an articulate statement.  They essentially put words to your emotions.  That is where I found myself reading this article by Daniel Krupa at IGN.  It’s part scathing indictment of the maker himself and part unbridled optimism for not only Episode VII, but Star Wars: Rebels as well.  It’s a highly worthwhile read with your morning coffee.
