Man, it's just a super-exciting time to be a SW fan. I decided to create a thread for it. It's been discussed ont eh Multiplaying pod, but man, Rebels was really something to enjoy. Between watching that and reading a couple series in the Marvel comics line (Star Wars, Darth Vader), man I'm just hyped. Now I've started breaking into the novels as well for the new cannon with Tarkin being my first read. Once finished I plan to read "A New Dawn" (Rebels prequel), "Heir to the Jedi" (focuses on Luke), and "Lords of the Sith" (Palpatine and Vader). They just announced " Star Wars: Aftermath" which will help tie Ep VI and VII together. Friggin pumped. So much for reading anymore in the "Song of Ice and Fire" series, it's basically all Star Wars novels and comics until December. If you are also reading and enjoying the new comics, I humbly suggest you check out the Holocron Council (another podcast I do besides Fluxtaposed), its a roundtable, book club-like discussion on each issue. So far covering two of the comic series, but we may expand into some of the books as well. Thanks for reading through my chatter, let's talk Star Wars.

As much as I love Star Wars and have loved almost every novel I have read.... I haven't read many. I really need to, but reading just isn't something that I love doing. But the books you brought up sound like a good time, so I may order one.

This is all things majestic... As much as I love Star Wars and have loved almost every novel I have read.... I haven't read many. I really need to, but reading just isn't something that I love doing. But the books you brought up sound like a good time, so I may order one. While the whole split off from the old EU becoming Legends and this brand new cannon has been difficult for some, it provides a great jumping on point for people that may have not experience this side of Star Wars previously. I read of ton of the books when I was a kid and only recently (past 3-4 years or so) started picking them back up. I can let you know my thoughts on Tarkin once finished but it should give some great histroy and backstory to the character.

Here I go talking up my own stuff again... It wasn't mentioned on this weeks podcast episode, but I'm hoping to get a game night going next week for Star Wars: Battlefront II Extremely minor details here - fluxtaposed.com/star-wars-battlefront-ii-pc/Would love to include anyone from the Multiplaying community as well if you have the game installed. I'm going to be checking out a mod pack tonight with some textures and tons of extra maps, I believe it patches in online support as well. I'll report back later, but let me know if you are interested.

I'm just happy they used a gray-scale version of the Centrum Silver logo for their line breaks.

fluxay, I'm not ignoring you, I just don't own those games. I think it's awesome you include us in these invites! Pfff whatever..... Cool to see that they have Battlefront included on this list. I thought I remember hearing there is going to be novel with that title, so I'm assuming it is that, and not the game :/

The book will come after and reference that time the storm-trooper called one the rebels, "a fucking camping bitch" and will expertly tell the tale of how that one guy got vote-kicked for being an afk-ing piece of shit.

So... Star Wars is going digital... Starting friday you can purchase all 6 films in DIGITAL HD! For me, the price is a little steep with owning the collection on Bluray, I'll hold off for now. But would be awesome to just fire up ESB on my phone anytime I want (legitly).

Going to be that guy...I wish they would have cut out all the stuff people hate (Greedo shooting first, Han stepping on Jabba's tail, etc) and said that all that other stuff wasn't canon.

Yeah... I'd love to see a released original version trilogy, instead of the SE's.
