Image: Hasbro Star Wars products love a theme moment—Force Friday, Triple Force Friday, whatever the Force Friday equivalent for Rogue One was called. Maybe they just love Fridays, but now Lucasfilm and its merch partners are capitalizing on a whole month to sell you things, with a specific villainous twist. This March is now Imperial … Read more
A few years ago Star Wars fans got to see the story of Han Solo and Leia Organa’s wedding—in the current canon, at least—unfold in the pages of Beth Revis’ The Princess and the Scoundrel. But now readers young and old will get to see Star Wars’ fairy tale wedding in a new light, with … Read more
When Star Wars first arrived in the world—back when it was just the original trilogy, mountains of toys, and one peculiar holiday special—fans knew where things stood. The Jedi were the good guys; Darth Vader and his pals were the baddies. But in the decades since, things have gotten a lot murkier across both sides … Read more
