Know Your Star Wars Skywalker Family!

It's an old family tree infographic but it's a great visual for kids and adults who are new to the Star Wars lore. Oh and I'm not really sure if they are even using the Solo kids for the next Star Wars trilogy...

At this point in time we're still not sure whether or not the expanded universe characters including Ben Skywalker, Jaina Solo, Jacen Solo and Anakin Solo will be making an appearance. Hopefully they will but in case these 'Legacy' characters would be absent, it's still nice to know that one time or another, we enjoyed their stories.

... except for Anakin who fucking left behind Chewbacca, thereby dooming the Wookie to death.

Captain Kirk and Lando Calrisian Gives Sage Advice to JJ Abrams

Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams went on Jimmy Kimmel recently and we get a totally geeky moment when William Shatner in semi-Captain Kirk persona together with Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian from Star Wars make an appearance and gives sage advice for the Star Wars director. Watch the clip below for this one. 



I loved how Williams wanted to do the new Star Wars trilogy with Lando Calrissian together with a galaxy filled with sexy, beautiful women. And agree with Chewbacca getting it on Princess Leia.

Star Wars # 1 - The Art is Good the Story Even Better

I was caught off guard with the release of Dark Horse's Star Wars # 1 by Brian Wood and Carlos D'Anda with covers by the legendary Alex Ross. I was caught off-guard because I wasn't able to order a copy. 

Review: A quick read through features a story that happens between A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back. Leah and Luke survive an Interceptor encounter while Han and Chewie contemplate their stay with the Rebel Alliance. Meanwhile Darth Vader is dispatched with a new mission by the Emperor.

The story is pretty interesting and quick. As the title says, the art is pretty to look at especially under the deft hands of artist Carlos D'Anda. It took me a good five minutes to actually peel my eyes away from the art and actually start reading the story. There's a lot of great character moments in this ish but so far my favorite happens to be that moment when Princess Leia manages to defend herself against a TIE Pilot. 

Red Dela Cruz Proves that Slave Leias Exist in Toycon

Toycon 2012 has come and gone leaving a lot of happy faces from fanboys, cosplayers, toy collectors and every hobbyist in Manila. One friend of mine asked this important question however. Why are there no Slave Leia's during Toycon.

The Premiere Vixen Red Dela Cruz however proves everybody wrong about this notion with her stunning cosplay as the Slave Leia.
