I’m told that THIS is the kind of thing we should be reporting, so here it goes. There are strong rumors swirling that a movie based on Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is in the early stages of development! Buzzfeed News has an exclusive report that according to 3 sources, Laeta Kalogridis (whose work includes Altered Carbon, Shutter Island, Terminator Genisys) is writing the screenplay.
Kathleen Kennedy, was tightlipped when asked at Star Wars Celebration about a potential film or series saying only that “we are developing something to look at”. With the built-in Expanded Universe fan base that the KOTOR series has, this should be a no-brainer.
What do you think, should there be a KOTOR film or series of films? How closely should it fall in line with what has already been developed for that story – a direct interpretation or should it take certain aspects (characters, locations, etc.) pull them in and develop an all-new storyline around them?
Starting on Sunday, qualifying toy and/or game purchases will earn you a FREE $10 gift card (with $50 purchase) or $25 gift card (with $100 purchase) at Target.
If your store is swimming in pegwarmer TVC Han Solo (Stormtrooper) figures like mine are, now may be a good time to bolster your Imperial ranks!
Next month’s Vanity Fair will feature an in-depth first-look covering the details of Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Accompanied by photography by Annie Leibovitz, the story will give readers our best look yet at the final chapter in the Skywalker Saga. Print editions featuring two collectible covers will be on newsstands on June 4.
I managed to find info for two more 6″ Black Series figures for The Rise of Skywalker and today I added info for “Berlin Leader” and “Cairo Grater” to our expanding Master List of UPCs and SKUs for 2019 and beyond. Feel free to speculate as to the identity of these two mystery characters.
Last night, Dan from StarWarsCollector.com noticed that the Shop Disney Parks app has updated with a slew of new merchandise for the pending launch of Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. Among the new products are the 3 recently revealed exclusive 6″ Black Series sets (Droids, First Order, Smugglers) They are currently unavailable for purchase via the app but hopefully this is an indication that they will be available at the attraction when it opens at the end of the month.
Update: on a related note, the Shop Disney Parks app is being discontinued on May 31, 2019 to consolidate its store with the ShopDisney app.
For the curious, I can confirm EE is still getting the Vintage Star Wars Skiff, and it should be July/August depending on when you pre-ordered at this point. Subject to change, of course, but I just verified they are indeed still scheduled for summer.
