In the years since Return Of The Jedi came out in 1983, and especially after Revenge Of The Sith was released in 2005, the writers of the Star Wars books, comics, and games have often explored what happened before and after the two trilogies, but have left the time between them largely untouched. Which is part of what makes Star Wars Rebels so compelling, since this cartoon explores the early days of the rebellion in the years leading up to the first movie, 1977’s A New Hope. But while Star Wars Rebels Complete Season One Blu-ray and DVD do a good job presenting the show, it doesn’t do as good a job in showing how it was made.
When Star Wars Rebels started airing on Disney XD last October, there were two things that were rather obvious: One, that this wasn’t any more of a kids show than its predecessor, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, had been; and two, that Zen Studios would be making a Star Wars Rebels pinball table for Zen Pinball 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Vita, Mac, WiiU), Pinball FX 2 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC), Zen Pinball (iOS), and Zen Pinball HD (Android, Amazon). And wouldn’t you know it…
Funko have announced that they will release a series of Star Wars POP toys based on the original trilogy — 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, 1980’s Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and 1983’s Star Wars: Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi — this July.
Funko have announced that they will release a series of exclusive Star War Celebration 2015 POP! toys at this year’s convention.
After the annoying goofball that was Matt Smith, the BBC could’ve hired almost anyone to play the titular character on Doctor Who and it would’ve been an improvement. But as you’ll see from watching the dozen episodes and the extras included on the Doctor Who The Complete Eighth Series Blu-ray and DVD, they didn’t just pick anyone, they picked someone whose portrayal of the good Doctor harkens back to this show’s golden years.
In the pantheon of Star Wars mistakes, few rank as high as midi-chlorians and making Jar Jar such a goofball. But cancelling the Star Wars The Clone Wars cartoon, or at least not letting it finish out its last season, ranks a close third. Thankfully, we at least have some of that last season in the form of Star Wars The Clone Wars The Lost Missions, which LucasFilm and Disney Home Video have released on Blu-ray and DVD.
