Entertainment Weekly has posted an exclusive look at propaganda art used at NYCC to promote Star Wars Rebels. Not only does it invoke powerful Imperial imagery, it gives us another great look into the design aesthetics for the series.
It case you are wondering, the text translates to ” Be A Part of Tomorrow Today”
Our friends at Yodasnews.com have also posted a plethora of images from Hasbro’s event in New York. Kick back and enjoy their galleries after the jump!
Thanks to our friend Rich Alot from over at Rebelscum/Cool Toy Review, we can present to you a few photos from the floor of Hasbro’s ‘Twas the Night Before…Party last night. It goes without saying that Hasbro really is honoring that statement saying that the Black Series is meant for collectors as some of these figures are the best issues that have ever been done.
In 2007, the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars brought an onslaught of toys, collectibles, and commemorative items. But of all the 30th Anniversary items only one provided new insight into the Star Wars saga — J.W. Rinzler’s The Making of Star Wars. With that book’s success Rinzler followed up with The Making of The Empire Strikes Back for Episode V’s 30th anniversary in 2010. Now, Rinzler completes his trilogy with The Making of Return of the Jedi, and he may have saved the best for last. On this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast, Brock gives a hands-on review of this impressive tome, which is in bookstores today!
Also on this week’s show, Marjorie and Arnie have the entire first wave of Hasbro’s 6-inch Black Series figures in hand. With X-Wing Luke Skwalker, R2-D2, Darth Maul, and a Sandtrooper, how does this new line of figures hold up? Listen to hear their review.

Star Wars Celebration VII will be in Anaheim in 2015, and some of our forum customizers have their eyes set on displaying a massive diorama there for all to see. We worked to do this before in 2007 for Celebration IV so there is precedent, but these projects take a lot of coordination and effort. The payoff is great though to see it all come together.
Do you have what it takes to join in? We’re still in the very early stages of this project, and encourage all customizers to check it out and see if you’d like to take part in this after the jump! We also encourage for all diorama builders out there to offer their suggestions to help make this project a success.
