The Force Unleashed!!

Star Wars Miniatures the Force Unleashed expansion is out!! Okay, actually it has been out for a few weeks now. Man I am terrible at keeping up with this blog! I preordered 2 cases from MiniatureMarket.com and was so excited when they finally came!! I got most of the set from these two cases. Was very pleased!! However didn't get the major miniatures I wanted to get: no Darth Revan, Boba Fett, or Shaak Ti. I'm still on the hunt for these!!

FORCE UNLEASHED PREVIEW #2

New previews are up at Wizards of the Coast's site. Included this week are previews of Maris Brood and Kazdan Paratus. These minis are powerhouses!! I am getting more and more excited about this set! Go to Wizards' site and check out the stats for these and the earlier previews as well. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starwars/article/FUpreview2



Today's Pull

Picked up some Minis today at lunch time. Mostly doubles of what I already. However I did pull a Boba Fett: Enforcer mini from the Alliance & Empire set. I'm excited and can't wait to use him in my next game.


Updated my totals in my progress meter.

LEGACY OF THE FORCE: INFERNO



The latest installment of the Legacy of the Force storyline from Del Rey is Inferno by Troy Denning. Support and reactions on the Legacy of the Force series up to this point has been moderate at best. But this book, in my humble opinion, is worthy of the Star Wars title! This book feels like Star Wars! I was riveted by this installment of LOTF and finished the book faster than any of the other books in the series so far. It's got it all. Great space battles and a terrific one on one confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo.

My greatest disappointment about the Legacy of the Force series has been the Jedi's blindness about what is happening with the Galactic Alliance and more importantly Jacen's rise to Sith Lord. Finally the Jedi are beginning to wake up!! All it took was Jacen holding the Jedi training academy on Ossus hostage. (sheesh)

I can see this series jumping to lightspeed from this point on! The Jedi should have realized what was going on a lot earlier. If you are interested in getting in LOTF or just wanting to know what is happening I suggest reading reviews or summaries on the first several books of LOTF, but definitely reading this one!! It's worth it!!

BACK TO BLOG!?

Let's see if it works out better this time!!

StarWars.com First Look: Sacrifice


Starwars.com has posted a first look upcoming book #5 of the Legacy of the Force series: Sacrifice by Karen Traviss. Due out May 22 '07 the book is looking really good. Though yes, perhaps Mara Jade looks a little younger than she should. I don't care! The cover looks spectacular! Speculation is rampant about just who it will that Jacen "sacrifices" for the good of the galaxy. The top 2 possibilities it seems is Luke or Mara. Luke is pictured on the back cover with quite the grim expression on his face. Though at this point it could be anybody.

Also mentioned in the article is the announcement of the title of the third Republic Commando book by Karen Traviss: True Colors. This is due out in August'07.

April 2007 Solicitations for Dark Horse!

Here's a link to the announcement: http://comicnewsi.com/article.php?catid=161&itemid=9255 Thanks to Comic News International.

Of note is the absence of Rebellion. What is going on? This should be the time that Dark Horse should pick up the next story arc of Rebellion. So far no word on why there is no mention of it yet. I am heavily antcipating information on this. Hope we here something from them soon.

Check out the link above for full details and here's some pics of the covers for the month of April:

















These have all been added to my upcoming publications list as well.

New Feature to my Blog!

For some time now I have kept an ongoing list of upcoming publications and releases for Star Wars products on a file on my computer for reference. Now I make this available to you as well.
