Our friend Le Jedi Lorrain made an interesting discovery on this new Star Wars Celebration poster:

Yes, that’s right. That’s Admiral Thrawn in the blue circle. Keep in mind though that this poster features all kinds of Star Wars characters – characrters from the new canon and characters from Legends. Even there are characters that are not Star Wars related at all. But still it’s cool to see the military strategist making it on the poster.
Mark Hamill is working really hard on Episode VIII. 14 hour working days sounds like a lot of Luke Skywalker in the movie! Great news for all of us.
14 hour days are never easy but cautiously optimistic w/ the results-Maybe a cold shower would get me jump-started! pic.twitter.com/hXzyE5lhXn

It appears that Hamill is “HUGE Oscar Isaac fan”. Will they meet in Episode VIII? Wait for it. 🙂
Dramatic News Headline “MH is HUGE Oscar Isaac fan!” Real question is”Does Luke know of Poe’s existence?” #Wait4VIII https://t.co/K4Y1e34GfX

Mark has a new toy. It’s weird to keep your father’s head at home, right?

Check out Daisy Ridley recording vocals for Barbra Streisand’s latest song At the Ballet:
Enough singing, let’s get back to business 🙂
John Boyega proves once again that he is the best kind of celebrity and human being, visiting his local children’s hospice Demelza for a Star Wars party:
A few days ago we posted on Twitter a warning message about Twitter member KY10REY, who has been constantly fabricating stuff about Episode VIII and misleading the fans. We did that because some sites started picking up his stories, and we wanted to prevent another Supershadow, since we knew that this guy is not involved with the production in any way. Some sites even posted interviews with this guy, which resulted in another post by us on Twitter trying to warn people that he is false. Then we got an unexpected help. 🙂
Thank you Pablo! Case closed.
In the last few weeks there has been an increased number of fake posters on different forums and social networks, so be careful. Some of their fan fiction might be pretty good, but this doesn’t make them legit.
As someone said on Twitter (and later removed it):
There’s a fine line between making shit up and making up shit.
And now some more tweets by Pablo.

Pablo didn’t answer enough questions this week.
The rebels season 2 blu-ray might make me break my oath to wait until a complete series collector’s edition….
I just pray this time Rebels Season 2 Blu-ray has lossless soundtrack.
