    RE: Rebels Season 2 trailer:

    A-Wings, B-Wings and Rex- oh my!

    (Rex and his fellow clones also seem to be based out of an AT-TE converted into a mobile shack)

    Also Vader vs Kanan and Ezra. Vader basically force shoving/pinning Ezra while forcing Ezra's arm to bring his own light saber to his neck.

    Also a pretty massive line for Marvel's panel. Wow.

    Points for unique base.
    My mouth dropped when I saw Vader doing that to Ezra. I was also freaking out mentally. That was crazy.

    Simone Bianchi drawing SW #7 one shot about Kenobi on Tatooine.

    Stuart Immonen new regular artist w 8

    PL#1 top selling comic in March.

    Greg Weismann will be doing the second arc of Kanan.

    Lando miniseries will be between ANH & ESB. Plot involves him flying "a particular mysterious ship". Lobot will be in it too.

    Greg Rucja & Marco Checchetto are the creative team behind JTFFA: Shattered Empire.

    Approx 6 month delay between new issues being released and them being added to Marvel Unlimited which now included 500+ Legends issues.

    That seems to be about it- they've gone into Q&A already. Gonna tag out early to get a jump on the line for the Del Rey panel. Though Leland was on the Marvel panel so something might still pop up of interest if anyone is still in there.

    There's actually a ton of interesting info in the Q&A for once. I left early but the other folks on Twitter have excellent coverage.

    Help! I'm confused about something.
    According to amazon there are TWO books titled "Ultimate Star Wars" releasing this year, both are hardcovers and both have 320 pages. One is April (in just a few days) and one is in September. Here are the listings:
    here is the one I've had on pre-order for a long time:
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/1465436014/
    And here is the newer one I just now discovered, it is under the Children's section but is awfully big for a children's book:
    http://www.amazon.com/dp/0241007909/

    So which book was Pablo talking about when he was saying Ultimate Star Wars is the first big canon reference book? And why would DK publish two 320pg hc books with the same title in the same year?

    My guess is the April one is probably an old listing.

    Del Rey panel:

    -Lords of the Sith will give us insight into why Hera approaches the Rebels the way she does, based on how her father, Cham, fought on Ryloth in this book.

    -Aftermath is the first in a trilogy.

    Well the ISBN numbers are different... and the descriptions are slightly different, with the Sept one saying it includes The Force Awakens content. If Ultimate Star Wars is delayed until Sept then has there been an announcement about that?

    Did we already know that Aftermath was part of a trilogy?

    And what's this Rise of the Empire with new short stories?

    Sorry if we already knew about both of them. I'm not paying much attention these days.

    Edit: Never mind; just saw Quest's posts above. Looks like it's new news.

    Interesting about Aftermath being part of a trilogy. I wonder if all three installments will take place pre-Ep. VII. With Volumes II and III coming out next year (presumably), Ep. VII can be set up in a big way without the worry of them spoiling anything. Great.

    Also, I guess this trilogy is our surrogate Thrawn trilogy.

    Rise of the Empire is an omnibus of Tarkin and AND, with three short stories tossed in for good measure.

    So, why is Jello proficient on the matter and where are you talking? Why is it important in Star Wars?
