Heesa Back! First rumored back in May 2019, it appears based on some new rumblings from sources on the interwebs that Jar Jar will indeed make it the the Black Series line, possibly as a deluxe figure sometime in late 2020/early 2021. Hopefully, that missing Crait Luke Skywalker is not too far behind.
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?
cnet.com has posted the first look at Hasbro’s figures from Star Wars: Resistance – many of which we announced here exclusively a couple weeks ago. Personally, I think they look fantastic!
Those that desire Hasbro’s return to playset had some new life breathed into them a couple weeks ago when we revealed the plans for a 3.75″ scale Force Link BB-8 / Star Destroyer Combo Playset. That life was sucked out again when we revealed that it included Supreme Leader Snoke as one of the pack-in figures.
The Supreme Leader is substantially taller than his accompanying Elite Guard by probably a head and a half and he sure is gold. Unknown at this time if he includes an accessory other than his throne in the playset. Both Snoke and the Elite Guard are Force Link compatible.
