    So TFN has announced that Randy Stradley will be going to CE II. I wonder if any announcements will come out of this?

    In both the print and online editions of USA Today there is a story on The Star Wars. Also in the online edition is the animated trailer Dark Horse produced for the book. USA Today has it exclusively for 24 hours, then it will appear on other sites.

    Spiffy trailer! I'm almost surprised a project of this sort was never attempted earlier.

    I believe they've been trying to get it off the ground for several years now.

    Personally, I think the previews look so good, I'm leaning toward holding off on it so I can buy a big, shiny hardcover next year.

    Have you guys seen the trailer/poster for this new comic series? I just know a a bit about the that in the first draft of SW from the various documentaries where G.L mentions that Han was going to be green, the main character is called Starkiller etc...I'm really looking forward to reading this.

    So I read my issues of Star Wars: Legacy 2 #5 which had a special preview of this comic and I was like this is very interesting I gotta get this once its out. It will be interesting to see what could have been when it comes to Star wars. One thing I for some reason don't mind is the fact in The Star Wars that Han Solo is actually some green alien called Ureallian. I mean the covers for this series seem really interesting.

    While I obviously love the Star Wars we got I still sometimes like to think about the whole what if this is what Star Wars the movies actually became.

    So it's out. I'm waiting for the big, shiny hardcover, but I'm very anxious to hear what you guys think of this.

    I was surprised by how quick a character dies. I wasn't expecting anyone to discuss this since it isn't canon and no one was posting about it!

    Very interesting. I especially liked the reveal about Kane. But yeah, Luke is totally badass here. I have to lol at the cover though. Seems someone missed the memo about Annikin's gender. :p

    Is that supposed to be Leia? Han is on the cover despite not appearing so I have to assume that it's Leia in a different costume.
