ok we all love Robot Chicken and sure love the Family Guy Star Wars parodies too..but how about a Lucasfilm Animation developed and produced parody…series?
Yeaah it really is happening…and it’s set to debut in 2013.
Star Wars Detours™ is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe’s regular folks and their everyday problems… which, to be fair, do frequently involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith.
So far there is the main trailer – which is absolutely hilarious and there are now 6 additional clips too…

Ok – we knew this was coming (and yeah we have the Dark Horse comic waiting to be read too) and sure we’ve been a little behind on the Clone Wars animated series lately too…
but wow.
this new trailer for a special director’s cut of the Return of Darth Maul (Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Season Four
Brilliant stuff and yet another reason why we’ll be spending the next few weeks catching up on the great show that is Star Wars The Clone Wars.

We used to love Chad Vader.
The first season was pure awesome – as our Fav Sith’s (brother?) made his way through life as the night shift manager at Empire Food Market.
second season was also fun.
third season mostly sucked – and that was almost two years ago. since then – no chad vader.
Guess What? Chad is coming back. After a two year hiatus Blame Society Films is bringing him back starting on June 12th for a five episode run. We couldn’t be more excited.
And just for old times sake – here’s a link from our fav Chad Vader episode – Episode 6 from all the way back in 2007.
Star Wars: Blood Ties—Boba Fett is Dead #2 – oh wait no he’s not. June 4, 2012

After that first issue we *almost* thought that Boba rly did get toasted.
He is after a clone, and hey lots of his brothers are around.
Now in this issue we get the real story – what happened and how his nice Mando’a helmet had a blaster bolt through it.
No surprise that Boba is going to use his half-brother to help him out, but what was a great surprise was seeing Sintas Vel.
that’s right – Sintas Vel, the woman that Boba Fett (in the books) has a child with. We can’t recall seeing sintas so beautifully drawn – errr painted as she has been in this issue.
Now the real hunt is one as we’ll find out how Boba can track down his own killers. No we don’t really care why they wanted to kill Boba, he is after all a bounty hunter so no doubt he has a lot of marks on his head.
The relationship between Boba and Connor Freeman (his half-brother) is interesting though. As it should be right? That’s what — Blood Ties – is all about.

The whole Knights of the Old Republic: War series was interesting for a few reasons.
It was neat to see Jedi aligned with the Mandalorians and it was great to see Zayne Carrick not being the ‘bad guy’.
We got to see a different side of Zayne in this series — Zayne the hero and it was a side that we sure enjoyed.
This final issue was easily the best in this mini-arc as the story came together. Jedi can’t be Mando’a after and
Zayne proved that you
CAN GO HOME AGAIN.
Finally.
Isn’t that what he was just trying to do in the very first issue of this series? go home see his family and his girlfriend?

We all know that Star Wars is huge – but did you know that Star Wars has generated at least $33 Billion in revenues over the last 35 years?!
Yeah we were a little shocked too.
Facebook is a $100 Billion IPO and Star Wars isn’t as big? that’s nuts. No wonder Facebook is tanking

Dark Horse Star Wars overload this week and we couldn’t be more excited
Leading the hit parade this week is STAR WARS BLOOD TIES BOBA FETT IS DEAD #1 (OF 4). YEEAAAh illustrated or should we say PAINTED by Chris Scalf.
This isn’t your regular comic book art – this is
ART.
While a new Blood Ties begins – Crimson Empire III ends with issue # 6 of 6 out this week. It has been a good ride but it’s time for Kir to go now.
STAR WARS CRIMSON EMPIRE III EMPIRE LOST #6 (OF 6)
OOOH but wait Dark Horse has one more awesome ending for us this week with Star Wars: Dark Times-Out of the Wilderness #5 – illustrated by the one and only Douglas Wheatley. Dark Times is an awesome series that has been plagued by publishing delays since the beginning – let’s hope that this final issue is everything we’ve been waiting for!

Zayne Carrick is the hero that we kinda/sorta love to hate.
After all he has no blood lust, he just wants to live his life, he’s not interested in being the hero.
Yet in this issue when force the Mandos to return to the planet from which the Republic drafted him, he helps them take control of a station — in an effort to save lives.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawww.
Then he comes back to help save his Republic friends.
Nice.
But no, we still see no signs of his girlfriend, but for the first time in this series we do see his old ‘boss’ Gryph.
Good fun.

We had some doubts about this series when it first started, but Dark Horse and the GREAT John Ostrander have proven us wrong.
From first page to last, this issue gripped us with action that we couldn’t put down. Jahan Cross beds his enemies sister, then she gets toasted not by her brother as we expect, instead the brother is killed by the robotkilling father.
Nice twist.
Now how are they going to get off the iron eclipse?
Sure Han and Chewie will just swoop in …..
Or will they?
In any event, the addition of Jahan Cross to the Star Wars canon is a great one, he’s a character that we want to see a whole lot more of from Dark Horse in the months and years to come.
Star Wars Fate of the Jedi Apocalypse : THE WORST STAR WARS BOOK EVER WRITTEN?! April 7, 2012

Fate of the Jedi started out as decent story….the introduction of Vestara Kai and the Lost Tribe of the Sith to the Star Wars cannon are both worthy additions.
That said, this last book was such a total piece of sh*t it makes us sick.
How this book ever got through editorial oversight is beyond us. This book could have been 200 pages shorter and it would have been much better, delivering the key plot points. As it was, this was easily the most painful Star Wars book we’ve read in years. Long, slow drawn out action. Sure action is great to have, this whole book is action and most of it makes no sense at all.
Were this not the last book in a series we’ve read from the beginning, there is no way we would have read this to the end, it’s that bad.
At the beginning of this series Luke leaves Coruscant, then he comes back. Then the Jedi leave, then they come back, Then they all leave again. And in between Abeloth is destroyed and Jaina get married to Fel. And oh yeah Vestara — is she good or evil? who knows…the author of this book totally buthered her character so much so that we just don’t care.
Yes we love Star Wars books, and yes we’ll still buy the next series that comes out — even though at this point it’s clear that the publisher is just abusing readers.

A great week ahead for SciFi comic book fans.
At the top of our list is Dark Horse Star Wars Agent of the Empire #4. This series first story arc is coming to a close and we really have no idea quite how this will be resolved. So far it has been a fun ride though. this new issue looks to continue that trend.
We get a double dose of Star Wars goodness this week too with the release of STAR WARS KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC WAR #3 (OF 5).
Yeaah Zayne Carrick is still a P*ssy but the story is good fun..and really we just want to see how he figures a way out of the mess that he’s stuck in…
Looking beyond Dark Horse we’re also interested in:
DC –
LEGION LOST #7
IDW –
DOCTOR WHO ONGOING VOL 2 #15
STAR TREK 100 PAGE SPECTACULAR 2012
and

Star Wars : Darth Palgueis – THIS book Sucks. No he’s Not Anakin’s Dad either February 25, 2012

Great idea – except for the fact that this book sucks and is the worst Star Wars book we’ve read in years.
From a reader’s perspective – the author- James Luceno, appears to have written this book with a thesaurus in-hand as there was hardly a page spread that went by where we didn’t need to consult a dictionary to figure out what a word meant. For a Star Wars book, that’s rare and totally unacceptable. How this got past the publishers copy editing team is beyond us..this book as is should never have been published.
Once you get past Luceno’s obscene use of arcane language – the story is so bland, it’s disgusting. We kept waiting for something to happen that never did.
Yes we do find out about the early years of Palpatine on Naboo – and there are some cool scenes. But in general this book skirts the edges of Episode I – during which Plagueis apparently still lived?! really?
We had also thought that Plagueis would be the dude that ‘created’ anakin just by his ability to manipulate midchlorians…but that’s not the case.
Going a step further into the absurd, we get some limited insight into Dooku – who apparently meets Palpatine – knowing it’s palpatine – wearing a cowl in the district where he in later movies meets Sidious. Does Dooku know that Palpatine is Darth Sidious? who knows.
And no – we don’t find out what ever really happened to Master Sifo Dias either.
This book had the potential to be awesome but the combination of over-writing and weak plotting left us totally unsatisfied by this book.

This series is also really picking up nicely…though this particular issue was all about one thing..
JAHAN CROSS ON THE RUN.
Nothing more really, the agent of the empire is running from the corporate sector police (into Han Solo’s smuggling containers too!) but no new major revelations about the plot.
Still, an entertaining run..but the real plot is hopefully coming in the next issue as we finally see what this conspiracy is all about. Issues like these make us wonder if we should just wait for the trade..cause then we don’t have to wait a month to see what happens next…

The first issue of KOTOR War was ok…but this second issue really picks up the pace.
We learn about the new Mandalorian Jedi..which is a neat idea and one that we hadn’t seen before It’s also neat that they drafted Zayne and the commander of his ship too…though that didn’t quite work out.
This is an engaging story..we’re not quite sure what happens on the next page and that’s how we like it. This is a story that keeps us guessing and amazed by it unfolds.
We should see Zayne finding a way to leave the Mandalorian army sooner rather than later..but it’ll be interesting to see how much damage he does first.

KOTOR is BAck! thank you Dark Horse for bringing back this great era.
Zayne Carrick is back and he’s still kinda sorta on the run, but this time not from his own destiny…he’s trying to run from his duty to the Republic…what is strange though is that it’s not clear what happened between Knight of the Old Republic #50 and this issue..it’s just a whole blank era…i thought he connected with that former slave captain girl and was still working with the crooks…the missing years or gap isn’t a good thing and really doesnt make this feel like a continuation of the first series.
Sure it’s ZAYNE CARRICK but the character doesn’t feel like it should.
That said – he’s in Revan’s Army fighting Mandalorians. how cool is that? We barely saw Revan in the first KOTOR (and hey we haven’t seen him here yet either), but still. Even with the time gap, this is fine era, and this first issue is loaded with action. We’re looking forward to the next issue!

what do you get when you try and crowdsource the greatest movie ever made?
You get the greatest crowdsourced movie ever made – a fan version of star wars. Sure it’s hokey at more points than i care to count and some performances are pretty bad, some are awesome and the totality of the effort is astounding. This is what fandom is all about. Let’s just hope that Lucas doesn’t decide to try and sue.

We’ve finally gotten around to reading the final issue of the latest Dark Horse Knight Errant title, Deluge #5 and it’s a real treat.
Kerra returns to save Daiman’s homeworld from being flooded by Zodoh the Hutt…yeaah it’s strange Kerra saving Daiman–but it’s really all about the ppl right?
In any event, a decent story, though the ending of how one ship was able to crash into Zodoh’s capital ship and destroy it…is a little unbelievable.
The final ending of Zodoh though is a bit dark..with Daiman using Zodoh’s own tech against him to end the hutt’s life…somehow fitting.
Well that’s it for Knight Errant until June when the next series – titled Escape – takes off and we can hardly wait.

Ever since John Ostrander revealed he would be working on a new series – after the greatest Dark Horse Star Wars comic of all time — Legacy — we’ve been excited about his new project.
After reading it – we’re interested, but a bit underwhelmed.
Agent of the Empire is essentially a James Bond kind of character working for the Empire.
Ok that’s alright, but he’s a stick figure of a character (so far) without much personality.
That artwork is passable and not up to Legacy standards yet either.
And from a canon perspective – when did we find out that Han Solo went to the Imperial Academy? somehow i missed that before…a neat twist though and seeing a younger Han Solo makes this book almost worthwhile.
So long story short, empire’s agent is hunting down bad apples in the Empire…..
Sure we’ll keep reading this – it’s only a five issue series after all – but the premise isn’t nearly as strong as the previous generation of Star Wars titles and so far, neither is the plot, artwork or characters.

No it’s not Ossus again or is it?
Seems to yme that the Jedi got routed in this issue.
And oh yeah uncle Bantha buys the farm
We don’t understand why Bantha couldn’t save both Cade and himself..seems odd..then again this whole series is about to wrap-up, so now is as good a time as any to start killing off characters
This Sith Troopers sure looked nasty too didn’t they?
