Star Wars: Heir to the Jedi — the first-ever novel written from Luke Skywalker’s point of view — hits stores March 3. Written by Kevin Hearne and set between Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, it finds the not-yet-a-Jedi hero sent on a daring rescue mission by Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar. Showcasing Luke at a key point in his life, Star Wars: Heir to the Jedi is essential reading.
StarWars.com has a special preview — as well as a look at early designs for the cover by Larry Rostant (with Scott Biel).

LEGO DIORAMA SHOWS HOW BOBA FETT ESCAPED THE SARLACC
on March 1, 2015 at 9:09 pmPosted In: Lego, Star Wars News
Via nerdist.com:
Boba Fett met his doom upon the sands of Tatooine in Return of the Jedi. He fell into the Great Pit of Carkoon into the mouth of the fearful and if we’re being honest, really gross, Sarlacc. It’s an awful fate that means he’ll be kept alive and slowly digested for over a thousand years. Yuck. Stories in Star Wars Legends (non-canon) have resurrected Boba Fett by claiming he managed to crawl out of the pit and avoid being consumed by the Sarlacc, but LEGO builder Daniel Stoeffler has come up with another idea and he brought his story to life with a massive, detailed diorama.

Most of us have a favorite genre of games. From RPGs to shooters, we’re drawn to titles that are familiar and fun. For some of us this means hitting up the next Call of Duty or Battlefield, while for others it’s checking out every new space flight simulator that comes out, such as Elite: Dangerous or the upcoming Star Citizen. After all, just because we’re Star Wars fans doesn’t mean we only play Star Wars games.
So, in lieu of simply waiting for the 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront, allow me to make some classic Star Wars game recommendations for fans of these other recent or upcoming major games.

Disney paying a whopping $4 billion for Lucasfilm back in 2012 was an historic and shocking moment which changed the future of the Star Wars franchise forever (Indiana Jones too if those Chris Pratt reboot rumours are to be believed). There had been talk for years of a live-action TV series, but the possibility of there being more movies was always left up in the air.
The prequels had dulled the interest even the most hardcore fans had in more big screen Star Wars adventures anyway, and with superhero movies dominating cinemas, the space fantasy was in some ways forgotten. The franchise was still loved, but arguably no longer needed.
Disney’s announcement changed that though, and for the first time in a very long while, Star Wars fans had something to be excited about. It’s been less than three years since that game changing press release was sent out on October 30th, but a lot has happened since then. Some of these crazy occurrences would have once been thought to be an impossibility, while others were inevitable once Disney got their hands on the series.
Either way, you feel each of these following crazy developments is for the best; these are the guys who’ve greatly increased the stock of Marvel and Pixar. Still, some of these have to be seen to be believed…

Star Wars is a difficult franchise to escape. Its longevity means different generations are continually introduced to the universe through the original trilogy and through newer releases such as Star Wars Rebels. The upcoming sequel trilogy will bring a wave of uninitiated fans to the fold — young and old — and storytellers will be among those fans. Like with other storytellers, chances are the Star Wars galaxy will burrow into their brains and affect their future work in small ways, maybe big ones. Just imagine, 30 years from now we could be hearing lines from the sequel trilogy quoted in television and films just like the original and prequel trilogies are referenced now.
And yes, Star Wars is referenced in pop culture all the time. If anything, I’d say quotes from Star Wars and the films themselves come up more often now than they did even five years ago. I recently heard three Star Wars nods on three episodes of different series in the course of two days. That high concentration caught me off guard and made me think about the many times writers have expressed their Star Wars fandom in their projects. Here are some of my favorites:
