While we have certainly had periods of high Star Wars activity and announcements over the years, this past couple of weeks seems like a new high water mark. New TV and streaming shows, a new preview for the new movie, and a brand new theme park is already expanded with an even more immersive experience.
It all looks like fun.
Read MoreThis week brings an unexpected behind-the-scenes West End Games story, new Armada play options, and a couple of extra items.
Read MoreSo, the title mixes the holidays a bit. and this being Halloween, there should be some sort of spookiness going on around here. Except I’ve already used my semi-decent Star Wars Halloween stories long ago, and don’t have anything new… But there are a couple of other things, and I’ve really missed too many weeks in a row…
Read MoreSince I keep watching the Solo trailer released this week, I'd say it has my attention...
Read MoreGhosts of Dathomir is out, so some GMs and players are (hopefully) planning their new campaigns, or integrating the adventure into their current stories. This post has a few resources that both may find useful to their new campaign. It has some very minor spoilers - not more than what you might learn reading the back cover of the book.
Read MoreForce Friday already? It certainly seemed to sneak up on me, since I just realized it is the day after tomorrow.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 was a huge hit and fantastic show. It set a record for attendance at 70,000 people. It had panels and guests and surprise guests and more around every corner.
Read MoreStar Wars Episode VIII officially has the title of The Last Jedi, and an ominous red logo. The last red logo was for Revenge of the Sith. Interestingly, the new movie's title was buried in the opening crawl of the previous episode, so I imagine the episode 8 crawl will be scrutinized closely. Quite a bit going on this week...
Read MoreI'm finally getting through a load of Rogue One books and material, so as I went I thought I would note a few ideas about using the information for Star Wars role playing game sessions. I was largely waiting until I was able to see the movie multiple times before diving too much into the available background material, novel, etc. I wanted a chance to form my own ideas and opinions based on just the movie, as well as take advantage of multiple showings to really get a good look at everything going on in the background.
Read MoreRogue One continues to draw, and I'm hearing quite a few positive comments from some I wasn't sure would be into the movie. Because of my association with Star Wars, a lot of people want to get my opinion, share their opinion, or both. At first, most didn't want to hear too much, but wanted to know basically if it was good. After they saw it, then the comments and questions really started rolling. No one has said they dislike it, and a few have called it their favorite (for now).
Read MoreRogue One was amazing. Not saying more about the actual movie until maybe after the holidays. No spoilers here. There's also been a lot of Star Wars news, articles, etc. beyond the new movie...including a new Ghosts of Dathomir preview.
Read MoreTomorrow is the Rogue One premiere, like you didn't know. I'm very much looking forward to seeing it. I read the novel Catalyst a few weeks ago. I caught the red carpet premiere show on starwars.com. I'm way more interested in seeing the Death Star on screen again than I expected.
Read MoreI think the past few weeks set some sort of record for me for busyness between work deadlines, freelance deadlines, conventions, and everything else. Things have eased up a little bit. I was catching up on various Star Wars novels and other releases, much like catching up here. I still have a decent stack for the holidays, and that doesn't include whatever's piled up at the comic book store. At least binge reading the comics makes a certain degree of sense, as I continue to get the single issues for the time being. I really ought to switch to trades for a few of the lines. So, continuing with the catching up theme...
Read MoreOne thing about missing weeks on the blog, there's now so much new Star Wars being released, it's easy to get behind. Not that I try and talk about everything that is released, obviously, but often like to hit the highlights. With the new season of Rebels up and running, new books and new comics recently announced, I look at the growing stack of books on the shelf and think I've got to find some time somewhere to fit some more reading in.
Read MoreLast weekend was Star Wars Day at the K, the second annual Star Wars day at the Royals game. I'm also catching up on a few episodes of The Star Wars Show, and the extended interviews.
Read MoreSo, it turns out that after a month of different conventions, I guess I just needed some time away from the blog. Or was tired. Or something. In any case, Star Wars Age of Rebellion Forged in Battle hit store shelves after debuting at Gen Con. I had a hand in it, so it's probably time to talk a bit more about that, now that it's out.
Read MoreWith Star Wars Celebration Europe coming up soon, there is sure to be a fair amount of Star Wars news in the coming days. I won't be attending this Celebration - as much as I'd like to return to London again. Still, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch the news live or almost live, and some previews just can't wait...
Read MoreTime flies when you're too busy and traveling too much to post. Also, you know your flights are going to have some issues when your ultimate destination's airport evacuates for a tornado warning. No serious issue in the end, just some inconvenience. Among the items taking up time was one of many summer cons I'll be attending in some fashion...and it had a new Star Wars guest...
Read MoreSo, I finally get a post completed before Wednesday, and as punishment, it turns out that FFG announces a new beginner game last week. This week they made up for it by announcing one of my new products today, but I imagine whatever starwars.com is starting up tomorrow may make me wish I waited. At least there should be something lined up for next week.
Read MoreAn almost all games edition today, with a variety of game items, including the unexpected return of a certain well known RPG company name...
