Star Wars Celebration Orlando LEGO Exclusive Revealed

LEGO has finally revealed one of their Star Wars Celebration Orlando exclusives, Detention Block Rescue.

This set should be a quick build at only 220 pieces and comes with two good looking minifigures; Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper disguise.

Unfortunately this set comes with two drawbacks. First, it's priced at $40. Second, you have to enter the LEGO Lottery to even have a chance to enter the booth to purchase. (For more information on the LEGO Lottery click HERE)

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (Teaser Trailer #2)

Check out the new teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

Only thing we weren't too thrilled with was the appearance of Darth Vader; the man's body was burned on Endor, why is this the capacity he appears in the film?

Is This The Future Star Wars: Episode VII Stormtrooper?

Found this cool looking image over on Tatooine Blog, of what appears to be a concept piece of what a Republic or Rebel (take note of the symbol on his armor) stormtrooper would look like.

Of course since this appears while rumors swarm around the Internet about Episode VII, we can't help but to hope that this is what the future holds for the Stormtrooper for the upcoming films.

What do you think, would you like to see this as the new stormtrooper?

Also in case you decide to visit the Tatooine Blog, I've gone ahead and translated this particular post for you; the original is in Croatian.

"I reckon it will be probably be epVII Stormtrooper, because they are what most strikingly in the SW-in, particularly in the OT-in. One attempt at retro-clones, and generally attempt entire prequel trilogy-in every possible aspect I did not not like it. Account, also, that since the Galactic Empire destroyed (aside from the harrowing factions of his remains in the EU), 30 years after the Battle of Endor, you some soldiers will defend the New Republic. For this reason, I imagined this "Republican" Stormtroopers. Generally, the Republic restored to retain something of pragmatism Empire, where it might lead some to question the original ideals of the Republic. It would be too secular, should not rely on anything like the Jedi order (which probably will not be, except Luke, probably, with perhaps here and there some followers). I think this would be a good source of plot - New Republic that sinks to a new dictatorship. Luke would have watched this at the margins, and of course, all this trying to change."

A Short Review: Star Wars - Scoundrels

Once again Timothy Zahn has struck gold with his latest Star Wars novel, Scoundrels; a tale of corruption, thievery, and revenge.

Scoundrels features such classic characters like Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and one surprise appearance. We also come to know of Bink, her twin sister Tavia, Dozer, Zerba, Kell, Rachele, and Dayja. Also featured in the story is an Expanded Universe favorite, Winter.

What was enjoyable about this novel was that not only did it feature characters we know, but it showed what they were up to between Episode IV: A New Hope and Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Also answered was the all elusive question of what the heck happened to all of Han's reward money?!?

The placement in the timeline was also a negative for me at the beginning of this novel. With both Han and Lando seeing each other now, it felt like it would take away from what we've come to know as that gut wrenching, what's going to happen moment when the two come face-to-face on Bespin. But ultimately by novel's end Zahn had made sure to restore that moment.

A little bit longer Star Wars novel for a change, Scoundrels comes in somewhere at around 390 pages, but fear not, it's a simple read and will have you so engrossed that you won't want to put it down.

Star Wars - Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn earns a 5/5.
