Rumor: First Look At Luke Skywalker In 'The Force Awakens'

By: Benjamin Hart

Whoa!

This is something all of us have been waiting for since The Force Awakens was announced. Something, or should I say, someone, who has been withheld from being shown in all the marketing for the film thus far. That's right, I'm talking about Luke Skywalker! We know Mark Hamill is back as the infamous Jedi in Episode VII, but we have no idea what he'll look like... until now. Star Wars 7 News has just shared a photo of what they claim is a our first look at Luke Skywalker in The Force Awakens.

Of course, this calls for a MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING! If you do not want to see Luke as he appears in the film prior to December 18th, do not scroll down. Otherwise, prepare to be amazed:

Marvel's 'Star Wars #6' Shakes Up Han Solo's Backstory

By: Benjamin Hart

It's not often that plot developments in Star Wars storytelling make news headlines, but sometimes things happen in the Galaxy far, far away that are just too big not to talk about. The latest Galaxy shattering revelation comes from the latest installment of Marvel's ongoing "Star Wars"Comic series, which was released today. Issue #6 deepens the plot of the series further, set immediately after A New Hope, focusing on Luke Skywalker as he journeys back to Tatooine and the home of his deceased Jedi Master Ben Kenobi. The issue also follows Han and Leia and features the introduction of a brand new character that has been turning quite a few heads lately. Read further with caution because we will be talking SPOILERS for Star Wars #6  from here on out...

The new character is a Woman named Sana Solo. As here last name implies, she is related to Han Solo. Their relation? She's Han's wife, or so she says. You can see her make the revelation in an excerpt from the comic below:

Understandably the reveal of this character sent shock waves across Star Wars fandom, many reacting negatively to the news. Was Han cheating on someone else when he (later) had a relationship with Princess Leia in the Original Trilogy? It's a legitimate question, but I think it's one we need to have patience in finding an answer for. This revelation is left unresolved in this issue, so we'll have to wait and read future issues to see where this goes. Han's got some serious explaining to do now, both to Leia and us fans.

So what do you guys think? Does this fit with Han's character and the overall Saga? Or is this a misstep for the comics? Let us know in the comments below, or in Club SWU!

The character does not appear in person, or via Hologram. Rather, he interrupts an Imperial Holonet broadcast and reveals that Luminara Unduli is alive, thus setting our Rebel heroes off to rescue her.

Our friends at RebelForce Radio were first to report the news. which was later confirmed by the credits for "Rise Of The Masters" which you can see below.

Rumor: Details About the First Two Episodes of 'Rebels'

By: Dominic Jones

The good folks over at Making Star Wars have some very interesting details about the first two episodes of the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels.  We assume these are the episodes that will be aired as the hour long premiere on Disney Channel (the remainder of the series will air on Disney XD).  While these are unconfirmed (and likely won't be confirmed until we see the episodes this fall), this your official SPOILER ALERT!  (Seriously folks, this is a complete break down of practically ever plot point from the episodes.  IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING STOP READING NOW!)

If you're still with us, here's what Making Star Wars is hearing from their sources,

• Ezra comes upon a cool score, blasters, ammo, and supplies when he finds The Rebels destroying and stealing the crates.


• Zeb offers Ezra a ride away from the explosions as Imperials show up.


• Zeb locks Ezra in a storeroom when he gets aboard their ship after they give him a ride away from the munitions destruction.


• On the way, the crew stops and begins to hand out food to the starving masses they stole from the Empire.


• However, because Zeb shoved Ezra in the closet Ezra plans to snoop around the ship for some loot. Later on after they visit a spot called Tarkintown (Tangletown), Ezra goes through the ship.


• He’s almost called by something…that’s when he discovers the Holocron and Kanan’s lightsaber. Kanan catches him, takes the saber, but Ezra pockets the Holocron.


• The rebels trade the stolen blasters they didn’t blow up to Vizago. Vizago then gives them the flight plan of the ship transporting enslaved Wookiees. The Rebels dock with the Imperials and try and pass Zeb off as a rare hairless Wookiee!


• Ezra is told to stay on the ship with Hera. But he gets a cold shiver down his spine while the the others go on the mission…it was a trap, Vizago sold them out to the Empire!


• Hera looks to Ezra and says “If all you do is fight for your own life, your life’s worth nothing.” This truth makes Ezra angry.


• Star Destroyers appear over the city in Space scaring the locals.


• With no Wookiees aboard the ship the rebels are trying to make their way off the ship, but a squadron of Stormtroopers waits for Kanan and Zeb to come out. Ezra takes his slingshot and shoots a detonator packet at them, blowing up the entire squadron of Stormtroopers. He feels heroic for the first time.


• Meanwhile Sabine was in the gravity control station and she deactivates the gravity on the ship and speedily floats towards the Ghost, thanks to Chopper’s rockets.


• Ezra ends up fighting with Agent Kallus and Zeb tries to escape without Ezra, angering Ezra.


• Ezra is put into the Star Destroyer’s brig by Agent Kallus.


• Agent Kallus is of the Imperial Security Bureau.


• The ISB are the nastiest Imperials around, even other Imperials fear them.


• While in holding, Ezra activates the Holocron. Ezra stares at it and it unfolds as if it understood his silent command and a recording begins to play. Ezra is confused by a mysterious man named Obi-Wan Kenobi telling him to “Trust in the Force.”


• Obi-Wan explains that the Emperor is actually a Sith Lord who betrayed the Jedi and destroyed the Republic.


• Ezra fakes coughing and proclaims Emperor Palpatine his uncle so they open his cell door. Ezra wedges himself to the ceiling and pops out the door before they even think to look up for their prisoner.


• Ezra runs for the airlocks and takes a trooper’s helmet.


• Ezra hears over the coms that The Ghost, he was not abandoned!


•  He also discovers the location of the Wookiees.


• When Ezra gets aboard the Ghost, Zeb slugs him in the helmet thinking he’s a Stormtrooper further adding to their contentious relationship.


• The Wookiees have all been shipped off to the Spice Mines of Kessel.


• Ezra tells the crew they started this job, they should finish it. The Wookiees must be saved.


• They  go to the Wookiee camp to save the Wookiees on Kessel, Spice Mine K77 to be exact.


• Illegal Spice has been sold in Capital City since the Empire took over.


• The Empire is not expecting the Rebels on Kessel. The stuff we saw of Kanan in the trailers with his saber is on Kessel.


• Sabine speaks a little Wookiee. The Wookiees call Ezra “The Little Warrior.”


• After this good deed and Obi-Wan’s message, Ezra realizes he must join the crew of the Ghost and figure out what the Force is.


• The only drawback? Ezra has to bunk with Zeb.


• The episode ends with the footage of the Inquisitor and Kallus speaking from the teaser trailer.

Wow!  This sounds like it will be a great premiere!  October cannot get here soon enough.
