By Adam Pawlus — Monday, February 9, 2015

A special guest is here! Tonight's episode of Star Wars Rebels is "Call to Action" gives us real stakes, real consequences, another guest star, and the feeling that something is going to happen beyond returning to the status quo for once. In other words, it's a good one!

Q&A: Star Wars Vehicle Bundles, New Figures, and Food Toys of the Future

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, February 8, 2015

Toy Fair is this weekend, but before we get some facts let's do some Q&A anyway! Let's talk new movie figures - we're not going to see any this week most likely, but should we expect sneak peek mail-ins or waves? And how about that new Imperial Troop Transport - should we wait for a version with a pack-in figure? And fast food - are McHappy toys a thing of the past now that Disney is involved?

Return of Gall Trayvis! Tonight's episode of Star Wars Rebels is "Vision of Hope," which teases us with glimpses into the future (and past) of our crew while giving us more opportunities to wonder how the Empire wants to track down the crew of the Ghost, yet seem to keep ignoring their parking in a big empty field on Lothal.

 

It's great to see them pick up on a plot thread from before, and who isn't ever delighted for Brent Spiner to show up? I mean, he was Devlin Bowman in The Master of Disguise. Read on for more!

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, February 1, 2015

This week in Q&A: Let's talk Marvel comics! There are new ones. And more new big vehicles - should we be hopeful of more TV toys before the new movie?
