New Justice League Trailer
As promised earlier in the week, WB has released what will likely be the final trailer for The Justice League!
As promised earlier in the week, WB has released what will likely be the final trailer for The Justice League!
They have cranked up the scale of this trailer to epic with moments of levity amongst the destruction. I'm still not totally sold on this film yet, but the first few seconds of the trailer really get me and it is the perfect tease for a certain character.

NYCC 2017 | Thrawn Sequel
Today at the NYCC 2017 Lucasfilm Publishing Panel Timothy Zahn announced that he will be following up this years novel Star Wars: Thrawn with a sequel titled Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances featuring Darth Vader! #BlackandBlue
Today at the NYCC 2017 Lucasfilm Publishing Panel Timothy Zahn announced that he will be following up this years novel Star Wars: Thrawn with a sequel titled Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances featuring Darth Vader! #BlackandBlue
To my knowledge Thrawn and Vader did not have any significant interactions in the Legends stories and we have yet to see them cross paths in the new Star Wars canon. I’m very excited for Timothy Zahn to continue the story of Thrawn and explore the dynamic of an Empire with Thrawn, Vader, Tarkin, and Krennic all vying for the Emperor's favour. Expect the new book to hit shelves in summer of 2018!
We are going to see Thrawn next in the final season of Star Wars: Rebels kicking off on October 16th and in the six-issue comicbook adaptation of Star Wars: Thrawn coming this February.

The onslaught of announcements from NYCC 2017 has begun and Hasbro has stepped up early with the reveal of four new Black Series figures; DJ (TLJ), Lando Calrissian (Jabba’s palace disguise), 4-LOM, and Dengar!
Hasbro has also showed off the new Arch-to Rey which joins an already deep line of The Last Jedi 6" action figures. The sculpts on these new figures continue to set the Black Series apart from any other line at this price point and I can't wait to get my hands on them!
4-LOM and Dengar join the Black Series bounty hunter ranks alongside Boba Fett, Bossk and IG-88, only leaving Zuckuss to complete out the ESB crew.
These figures are due to drop sometime in 2018!

AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER!
A 16 week Avengers cross-over event will be dropping this January that sees The AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS and U.S. AVENGERS team up to take on one of the biggest threats to the Marvel Universe ever!
A 16 week Avengers cross-over event will be dropping this January that sees The AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS and U.S. AVENGERS team up to take on one of the biggest threats to the Marvel Universe ever!
Check out the press release from Marvel and let us know what you think in the comments below!
New York, NY—September 28, 2017—It’s the end of an Avengers Era as we know it! And in the team’s final days, a change has come to the Marvel Universe in the form of a story that’s filled with so much action and so much drama, Marvel had no choice but to make it a weekly epic!
Beginning this January, Marvel will unleash the epic AVENGERS: NO SURRENDER with AVENGERS #675, a weekly saga that unites the casts and creative teams of three titles into an epic tale of heroic action, jaw-dropping cliffhangers, and drastic adventures! The AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS and U.S. AVENGERS come together in a powerhouse of an event that will be unleashed in a story as spectacular and epic as the Marvel Universe itself.
Featuring one of Marvel’s biggest collaborations to date, each issue will be co-written by superstar writers Mark Waid, Al Ewing and Jim Zub with art by Pepe Larraz for the first month, Kim Jacinto for the second month, and Paco Medina for the third month. With shocking returns and brand new characters, NO SURRENDER is a book where every character will get their moment…where alliances will be forged…and where the earth will be forever changed!
“The Earth has been stolen! That’s the kickoff to the wildest AVENGERS epic ever put to paper, a widescreen adventure with a massive cast and an unlimited budget,” teased SVP and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort. “Avengers past and present will be called upon to cope with a threat spanning out of the pages of MARVEL LEGACY #1. And like that oversized special, there’s a huge character return or two along the way that fans have been asking for—and one that they didn’t even know they wanted!”
From Falcon to Black Panther to the mysterious Voyager, NO SURRENDER will see an appearance from every current Avenger – those we know and love and those we’ve never heard of. But what happens when Lethal Legion and the Black Order battle their way across the Earth? Most importantly, how will this new incarnation of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes come together to fight one of the biggest threats the world has ever seen? This is just the beginning, but there’s so much more to come.
Don’t miss a truly inclusive celebration of the legacy that is Marvel’s Avengers, when NO SURRENDER hits comic shops this January!

The Last Jedi | Black Series Wave 3
Wave 3 of TLJ Black Series will be hitting shelves sometime this fall and we now know the case ratio and repacks for the final 6" wave before The Last Jedi hits theaters.
Wave 3 of TLJ Black Series will be hitting shelves sometime this fall and we now know the case ratio and repacks for the final 6" wave before The Last Jedi hits theaters.
Wave 3 will bring us three new 6” figures; Snoke, Rose, and the 2016 fan choice figure Jaina Solo. Repacked in this wave are Maz and the Elite Praetorian Guard from Wave 2 and Jedi Master Luke, Rey, and Kylo Ren from Wave 1.

The repacks in this wave alleviate some of the hunt anxiety around figures that may have been more difficult to find in wave 2. The Maz and Elite Praetorian Guard figures should now become much more attainable at retail as we will see them in two consecutive waves! With the Wave 3 repacks, the General Leia figure becomes the big prize in Wave 2, so grab it if you can!

Maz, Force Order Disguise Finn, Elite Praetorian Guard, Kylo Ren, General Leia, Poe Dameron, and repacks ESB Snowtrooper, and AT-AT Driver.

My predication for Wave 3 is that all three of the single packed new figures will be hard to find, with the Jania Solo playing a lot like the Revan figure (near impossible to get at retail). The fan choice Legends figures run like a short packed exclusive making them extremely difficult to find at retail. We probably will not see another iteration of this character in plastic form for a long time, if ever and because of that I would expect this to be the most coveted figure in Wave 3.
The Snoke could also prove to be a difficult figure to find out of the gate, but I could see him being repacked in a subsequent wave down the line. This figure can also be found as part of the EB Games/GameStop exclusive throne set, which at the moment runs $39.99 USD.
The Rose figure will be a bit on an enigma for Wave 3, she could really go either way. I doubt we will see her repacked in future Waves and the one per case leads me to believe that this may be a harder figure to find than others in the first two Waves.
Which figures do you think will be difficult to find in Wave 3? Let us know in the comment below!
As always, good luck on THE HUNT!,

Justice League | Character Posters
WB has released 5 new character posters (Aquaman, Batman, Cyborg, Flash, and Wonder Woman) for the upcoming Justice League cross-over event film. The posters begin what will inevitably be a major promotional push for the film as its release is less than 2 months away.
WB has released 5 new character posters (Aquaman, Batman, Cyborg, Flash, and Wonder Woman) for the upcoming Justice League cross-over event film. The posters begin what will inevitably be a major promotional push for the film as its release is less than 2 months away. Superman is noticeably absent from the release but his logo appears at the bottom of the posters along with the other members of the Justice League. I have been extremely impressed with WB's ability to keep the Superman secret and not spoil the return of The Man of Steel in Justice League, will that last?
Check out the posters below and let us know what you think about them in the comments below!
Justice League hits theaters on November 16th, 2017.

Star Wars: Rebels | Season 4 Poster
The final season of Star Wars: Rebels received a poster treatment today! It was released on the Star Wars twitter account along with the tag line;
"All paths come together when #StarWarsRebels returns to @DisneyXD on October 16"
The final season of Star Wars: Rebels received a poster treatment today! It was released on the Star Wars twitter account along with the tag line;
"All paths come together when #StarWarsRebels returns to @DisneyXD on October 16"
The poster teases the battle of Lothal with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Governor Pryce looming in the background. The most interesting part about the poster the presence and placement of the wolf we saw in the Season 4 trailer. Looking much more ominous, the wolf looks poised to play a much larger role in this season than I had previously expected or it could be that Dave Filoni just really wanted a wolf front and centre.
Look for my theory of the Wolf, Ashoka, and how it all ties to Ezra and Kanan's storyline later this week! Until then, marvel at the glorious final poster for Rebels!
What are your thoughts on Season 4 poster, and do you think the wolf factor into the final season in a big way? Let us know in the comments below!

The Last Jedi | Elite Series Wave 2
Release dates for the second wave of the Disney Store exclusive The Last Jedi Elite Series 6” die cast figures have been revealed. Unlike the first wave, the next seven figures will be released individually over the course of six weeks starting on October 27th.
Release dates for the second wave of the Disney Store exclusive The Last Jedi Elite Series 6” die cast figures have been revealed. Unlike the first wave, the next seven figures will be released individually over the course of six weeks starting on October 27th.
Chewbacca with Porgs - October 27th, 2017
Finn (First Order Disguise) - October 31st, 2017
Poe Dameron - November 7th, 2017
Rose & BB-8 - November 14th, 2017
C-3PO - November 21st, 2017
Captain Phasma - November 28th, 2017
Supreme Lead Snoke - December 5th, 2017
Before TLJ ES figures dropped on Force Friday II, the remaining TFA and R1 figures were on sale for less the $7.00 CAD from $34.00 CAD. With the first wave of TLJ ES figures looking like they will be shelf camping in a similar fashion to the previous releases, I can really see Disney modifying how these figures are marketed and released.
It has not been made clear whether or not each figure will be shipped in limited quantities, but the release style seems to be very similar to the limited run of the six Prequel and Original Trilogy Elite Series figures that dropped between Force Friday 1 and The Force Awakens in 2015. With the 2015 limited release of figures a raffle system was set up and carried out each week with a only a lucky few getting their hands on the figures. This made the figures extremely difficult to get at retail and the exclusivity caught the attention of collectors.
I had previously suggested that for Disney to continue the Elite Series line they needed to repurpose it and focus on exclusivity and collectors, and it looks like TLJ second wave release might be a step in that direction.
Let us know your thoughts on the Elite Series in the comments below!

Star Wars Anthology - Could This Become a TV Series?
This weekend I was listening to the /Film Daily and heard Peter talking about a Star Wars Anthology movie he'd like to see. What he said triggered a thought that might explain a couple of recent decisions by Disney and Lucasfilm Ltd. Read on for more...
This weekend I was listening to the /Film Daily and heard Peter talking about a Star Wars Anthology movie he'd like to see. What he said triggered a thought that might explain a couple of recent decisions by Disney and Lucasfilm Ltd. Read on for more...
Peter suggested that a Star Wars Anthology movie might feature short movies set in the Star Wars universe by top-tier directors like Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino. Not a bad idea but not very likely as Lucasfilm seems set on a two, one stay structure. At least on the big screen.
Cast your minds back a couple of years to the announcement of the spin-off films and what header these movies would be released under. They were initially going to be called Star Wars Anthology before the dropped that name in favour of the somewhat weaker A Star Wars Story.
Then just a couple of weeks ago it was confirmed that Disney would be removing their movies from Netflix when the license expires and starting their own streaming service. Bob Iger recently confirmed that the Marvel and Star Wars properties would, indeed follow the Disney IP over to the new platform. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not crazy about the idea of having another service I need to subscribe to for films I will already own physically. The only way they will get my subscription is to include content I can't get anywhere else. And hearing Peter talk about an Anthology movie on the /Film Daily had me thinking; What if Lucasfilm Ltd changed the name of the spin-off films because they plan to use the Star Wars Anthology title for a project on the Disney streaming service?
Could Lucasfilm be prepping a series of one hour short films set in Star Wars canon, to be written, produced and directed by top-tier talent? Talent who may have an interest in working on Star Wars, but cannot clear a feature shaped space on their schedule? I'm thinking of people like Ridley Scott, David Fincher, Kathryn Bigelow, Edgar Wright and Jodie Foster. All names I'd be interested in seeing tackle Star Wars, but in a one-hour format. Is this why Lucasfilm dropped the Anthology title from the movies because they are planning to use it on another platform?
I'd be interested to know what you think of this as a possibility. Would this be something you're interested in seeing? If so who would you like to see jump on as a creative? And which characters would like to see in a short form live-action setting? Sound off in the comments below...

Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait #1
StarWars.com has announced the next tie-in comic in the journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Coming from writters Ben Acker and Ben Blacker with art by Mike Mayhew is a special one-shot comic titled Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait #1.
StarWars.com has announced the next tie-in comic in the journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Coming from writters Ben Acker and Ben Blacker with art by Mike Mayhew is a special one-shot comic titled Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait #1.
The comic will strive to create a connection between the Original Trilogy and The Last Jedi with the premise setting Luke and Leia in search of a new rebel base on the world of Crait. The era between ANH and ESB is where Marvel has focused the majority of their story telling since the establishment of the new canon and it looks like this comic will continue the narrative in that era. The description places the one-shot during the ‘Galactic Civil War’ but more specifically based off the cover art, it looks to be set before Empire Strikes Back. Luke is wielding the blue lightsaber which places it before the end of ESB, but I am guessing it is actually set before the establishment of the Rebel base on Hoth (0-3 ABY).
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will see the debut of the mineral planet Crait, as it becomes a battleground between the Resistance and First Order.
From the recently released book by Claudia Grey, Leia: Princess of Alderaan, we know that Leia has a history with the planet of Crait and that a Rebel outpost was set up there around 3 BBY. My current theory is that we will learn in this comic that the Rebels choose Hoth over Crait to set up their new base, possibly because of the events that transpire in the comic. Looking closer at the cover, it appears that there may already be an established presence on the planet which leads Luke and Leia to 'take up arms', as revealed in the official description. The events of this comic my provide some insight as to why Leia chooses to set-up a Resistance Base on Crait some 34 years later.
The one-shot comic will arrive in comic shops on December 27, 2017 just after the debut of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Art by: Marco Checchetto
The familiar pop of red on the cover leads me to believe we may get a little more insight into the red mineral hidden beneath the salt-covered surface of Crait.
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi will see the debut of the mineral planet Crait, as it becomes a battleground between the Resistance and First Order. And a new story coming from Marvel will reveal major elements of its history."
"StarWars.com is excited to announce Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Storms of Crait #1, a special one-shot arriving December 27, written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (Star Wars: Join The Resistance) with art by Mike Mayhew (Star Wars, The Star Wars). The comic rewinds to the Galactic Civil War, following Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa as they take up arms on the salt-covered world and search for a new rebel base."

Journey to The Last Jedi | Canto Bight
Starwars.com revealed the cover for the highly anticipated Canto Bight book featuring four short stories told by authors Saladin Ahmed, Rae Carson, Mira Grant, and John Jackson Miller. The interconnected stories will center around characters in the casino-city of Canto Bight that will feature in The Last Jedi.
Starwars.com revealed the cover for the highly anticipated Canto Bight book that will feature four short stories told by authors Saladin Ahmed, Rae Carson, Mira Grant, and John Jackson Miller. The four interconnected stories, that will likely take place right before TLJ, will centre around new characters in the casino-city of Canto Bight.
Saladin Ahmed - “Rules of the Game”
Rae Carson - “Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing”
Mira Grant - “The Wine in Dreams"
John Jackson Miler, “The Ride”
Canto Bight will be available on December 5th, 2017 and joins Star Wars: Phasma, Leia: Princess of Alderann, The Legends of Luke Skywalker, and Cobalt Squadron in the Journey to The Last Jedi line of books.
Artist: Matt Taylor
The four authors also released some insights into their stories via starwars.com.
Saladin Ahmed, “Rules of the Game”
“‘Rules of the Game’ is a quiet drama about work and crime and corruption and pecking order, but it’s also an alien buddy comedy with explosives. Interplanetary contract criminal Anglang Lehet and Vaporator Salesbeing Kedpin Shoklop have led very different lives. They have one thing in common: Each of them has spent more than a century following the rules of his trade. But one night in the glittering casino city of Canto Bight their paths will cross and, beset by gangsters, corrupt cops, and overpriced drinks, they will have to rely on each other to have any hope to survive.”
Rae Carson, “Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing”
“No one is better placed to overhear key information than Lexo Sooger, the star masseuse at an elite spa. But Lexo never gets involved, no matter what. In a dangerous city like Canto Bight, it’s the only way to keep his family safe. But vile gangster Big Sturg Ganna will stop at nothing to acquire him as an asset, and when Ganna kidnaps Lexo’s daughter, Lexo must call on secret, long-unused abilities to save her. The gangster doesn’t know it yet, but he has messed with the wrong masseuse.
I spent a big chunk of my childhood in poverty, so I know that even the most beautiful, lavish places have an underclass, people barely scraping by in a system stacked against them. When I saw Lexo, a fantastically realized alien creature doing hard labor, surrounded by luxury that’s never truly his, I just had to know more. For me, Lexo is Canto Bight’s everyman, and I’m so glad I got to write his story.”
The eclectic patrons of Canto Bight, the casino-city featured in The Last Jedi.
Mira Grant, “The Wine in Dreams”
“There’s nothing better than a good con game, except for maybe a con game that takes place in the Star Wars universe. My story takes you to the glamorous night life and the glittering world of Ubialla Gheal, whose club is the place to see and be seen in Canto Bight. A lot of business happens there. A lot of deals. But when Derla Pidys, one of the most renowned liquor traders in the galaxy, shows up to purchase a bottle of wine that may or may not come from another dimension, things get complicated, fast. It was a joy to write, and I think you’re going to enjoy it.”
John Jackson Miler, “The Ride”
“What do you do when everything you think you know is upended at precisely the wrong time? ‘The Ride’ is some of the best fun I’ve had writing a Star Wars story, combining a look at gaming within the Star Wars universe with an adventure loaded with humorous moments. It’s a chance to wallow in casino life, surrounded by memorable characters. The Lucky Three (Plus One) is more than a starting pazaak hand — it’s a formula for a wild ride!
With statistics as his Force and card combinations as his lightsaber, Kaljach Sonmi fancies himself a Jedi Knight of the gambling halls, making short work of all who oppose him. Until, that is, he encounters something none of his knowledge and experience can help him with: The Lucky Three, a notorious trio and terrors of the casino.
Suddenly, with fearsome members of the Canto Bight underworld breathing down his neck, Kal launches upon the craziest — and possibly last! — night of his life, a frenetic odyssey during which fortunes are lost, won, and lost again. He’s drawing dead with a deadline, and his only outs may be three diminutive lunatics named Dodi, Thodi, and Wobi!”

Ostensibly, this episode is about looking back at the first two seasons of Rebels, but the hosts spend a lot of time discussing the big news with Colin Trevorrow, as well as the Rebels Season 4 trailer. This is just a fun episode done in the classic Skyhoppers style!

Thor: Ragnarok | Character Posters
Marvel Studios looks to breath new life into the Thor franchise with the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok! Director Taika Waititi has seemingly struck a new tone and introduced a wonderfully vibrant colour pallet, giving us an exciting new direction for the franchise.
Marvel Studios looks to breath new life into the Thor franchise with the upcoming film Thor: Ragnarok! Director Taika Waititi has seemingly struck a new tone and introduced a wonderfully vibrant colour pallet, giving us an exciting new direction for the franchise. The new tone appears to mirror that of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, which may pave the way for Thor to seamlessly transition into fighting alongside the GotG in Avenger: Infinity War.
This has been one of my most anticipated films of 2017, and every trailer and promotional piece has continued to raise my expectations!
Alongside the news that advance tickets are now on sale at https://www.cineplex.com/, Marvel revealed seven new Thor: Ragnarok character posters, depicting all of the main cast!
