USA Today Reveals Star Wars Rebels Darth Vader and [Redacted]

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 3, 2015

Be warned, if you haven't seen last night's episode of Star Wars Rebels then this story on USA Today may ruin it for you.  Darth Vader is well known, so I can post this headline: Darth Vader's back in 'Star Wars Rebels'.  You knew that.  And now we know Hasbro is doing a figure for it, which is fantastic news - but there's another figure coming with him, and that's what you may not yet want to know.

Galactic Hunter Video Theater Presents: Star Wars Rebels - Fire Across the Galaxy

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, March 2, 2015

Tonight's season finale of Star Wars Rebels doesn't answer many of the hanging questions, but we do get a big peek behind the curtain in "Fire Across the Galaxy." We see a potential death, an unmasking, and wrap up Kanan's imprisonment with what is probably the best space battle we've seen on the TV editions of the franchise so far. In short, good times all around - and the amount of giddy fan stuff at the end is going to make you scream out for joy. (As long as Hasbro follows the cues of the episode, of course.)

 

Read on for more! I just finished watching this moments ago, so it's not too in-depth. And spoilers follow.

Galactic Hunter Video Theater Presents: Star Wars Rebels - Rebel Resolve

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, February 23, 2015

Tonight's episode of Star Wars Rebels continues the second real multi-episode arc of the season. "Rebel Resolve" builds a little tension without spending too much time on the specifics of Kanan's imprisonment and also makes us think that Ezra likes him more than Hera does..

 

Surprisingly, nobody has been rescued and there's an honest-to-goodness cliffhanger to make things interesting next time. Read on for more!

Q&A: Star Wars Vehicles, Rebels, Titanium Figures, and Oh So Much More

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, February 22, 2015

After a small error last week, we're back with Jumbo Sized Q&A! (Formerly known as "regular size Q&A.") Toy Fair didn't reveal all that much to the public, but at least we can talk about increasing costs and shortcuts to keep figures cheap. And Titanium figures - did you miss any? Maybe, but a lot never made it out. And Rebels - how much longer can it last? All this and more in the column I meant to post last week and wrote in January (plus 2 bonus questions), after the break.
