A few days ago, our friends over at Galactic Binder posted an interview with Dark Horse’s editor of Star Wars comics, Randy Stradly. In that interview, Stradley mentions that the only teaser for any future Star Wars comic projects was “Lone. Female. Jedi.”
I, personally, didn’t make note of it. Until, that is, I read NJOE’s Corax’s post about it. According to NJOE.com, Tom Taylor, the author writing the just released Invasion comic, has been hinting at a Star Wars project he’s been doing for months. Could this be the same thing Stradley hinted at in the interview?
Well, according to Stradley: “Don’t get too excited — the book (assuming it actually happens) is in the early, EARLY planning stages at this point. I just wanted to tease you because I know how you love to speculate. Have fun, but don’t get too invested in any of the ideas you come up with.”
At this point, we can’t confirm if Tom Taylor will be writing the “book” ( often trade paperback in comic lingo). However, there is something coming and it may be written by Tom Taylor. We’ll let you know more as the story develops.

Lucasfilm may be trying to save the announcement for their upcoming Star Wars Spectacular, but TheBlurayBlog (via TheForce.net) has information on the Blu-ray box set for Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 1.
The features include:
- Original aspect ratios - 2.35:1 (Cartoon Network aired episodes cropped at 1.78:1 for 16:9 displays)
- Digibook Packaging - with book (around 40 pages or so) featuring concept drawings and sketches
- Director’s Cut Episodes
- Commentaries
- 2D and 3D initial renderings (characters?)
Is it just me, or does it seem to be lacking? Where’s the Decoded episodes? Where’s the deleted scenes? Where’s the documentaries? It’s very possible that this isn’t the full list, so we’ll have to wait until July 25th before we know for sure. You can check out out TheBlurayBlog for their entire article.

According to Star Wars.com, this fall will see the release of both a lightsaber and blaster attachment for the Nintendo Wii system ( saber seen above). It goes without saying that these are coming out to accompany the upcoming Clone Wars: Republic Heroes video game.
Bensussen Deutsch & Associates, Inc. (BDA), a leading manufacturer of licensed retail consumer electronics accessories, will soon be offering its new Star Wars Light-Up Lightsabers and Clone Trooper Blaster for Wii!
Licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd. and marketed under BDA’s POWER A brand, the POWER A Light-Up Lightsabers are sculpted replicas of the famed weapons used by Anakin Skywalker and Jedi Master Yoda. Designed for use with the Wii Remote, an on/off switch allows players to control the light-up feature of the lightsaber. The Anakin lightsaber is illuminated with a blue glow, while Yoda’s has a green glow. The Wii Remote fits safely in the lightsaber handle, which was designed for comfort, enabling players to battle at peak performance levels.
Read all about the Clone Blaster and Lightsabers here. Let us know what you think about this in the comments section! There is currently no word on if these will work with The Force Unleashed, Lego Star Wars, or Lightsaber Duels.
