Even more than the Jedis or the Sith, one of the most beloved characters from ‘Star Wars’ is the relentless bounty hunter, Boba Fett. So when Dark Horse and author Tom Taylor (Star Wars: Invasion, Star Wars: Blood Ties) announced the title of Taylor’s next installment in the “Blood Ties” collection, I lost my shit. Why did I lose my shit you may ask. Well, Tom Taylor’s newest book is titled, “Star Wars: Blood Ties – Boba Fett is Dead”.
“Boba Fett is dead. The most infamous hunter in the galaxy has been hunted. He’s lying, broken, on the desert floor. He’s more blaster-holes than man. It’s the ultimate ending. However, this is just the start of our story. With the fall of Fett broadcast across the galaxy, someone rises to avenge him. But who would care about the death of a man like Fett? Bounty hunters aren’t exactly known for their enduring, close friendships but even a man like Boba Fett has family… and now a Blood Tie demands blood.”
I always want to believe that nothing can kill Boba Fett, but after checking out the teaser image for “Boba Fett is Dead”, my heart sank. It will be very interesting to see where Taylor takes our favorite bounty hunter. ‘Star Wars: Blood Ties – Boba Fett is Dead’ goes on sale in April 2012.

If you collect ‘Star Wars’ toys like I do, you know that collecting all the different Stormtrooper and Clonetroopers becomes a bit tedious. Especially, when they all look a like. So it’s a breath of fresh air to finally add an unique piece to your collection that doesn’t look like the rest. Enter Sideshow Collectibles newest addition to their ever so popular line, Militaries of Star Wars, Commander Bacara!
Commander Bacara, also known by the numerical designation 1138, was a clone commander who worked alongside General Ki-Adi-Mundi against Separatist droid armies on the Outer Rim planet Mygeeto. Though he fought alongside the Jedi in numerous battles, Bacara’s ultimate loyalty was to the Republic and its Supreme Chancellor. When Palpatine contacted him personally and executed Order 66, Bacara carried out the command without question. He and his fellow Galactic Marines opened fire on Ki-Adi-Mundi, killing their general.
Probably sporting one of the most wicked helmet in the Clonetrooper collection, Bacara has that signature flare that characters like Commander Cody and Captain Rex has. Commander Bacara will be a great addition to any growing Star Wars toy collection! You can preorder one now for $134.99 and will release during the Spring of 2012!

It looks like the Lucas camp is already going full speed on advertising the 3D theatrical release of ‘Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace’ which opens February 10th, 2012. No offense to the amazing Drew Struzan who illustrated all the iconic ‘Star Wars’ posters, but this poster gives us EXACTLY what we want. Darth Maul, Young Obi-Wan Kenobi, and fucking pod racing. None of little Anakin is featured in this poster, unless you count his annoying little head popping out of his pod racer. Also, no Jar Jar! HURRAY! That being said, I could really use Padme in a bikini on the right though.

There are tons of people out there with generic ‘Star Wars’ tattoos. They are all over the web. However, when someone gets a Star Wars inspired tattoo with an unique spin, that is something very special. That is the case with this “Day of the Dead” calaveras-style tattoo of our favorite Droids, C-3Po and R2-D2. This calaveras Artoo and Threepio tattoo is the work of Greg Howell of Jack Brown’s Tattoos in Fredericksburg, VA.. All I can say is this is pretty awesome and rests on “ladyofguadalupe“. I love how Artoo looks like he’s smiling (kinda…)

There is something about this picture that has me head over heels for Miss Jenasis. The whole Stormtrooper pin up thing has been done many times over in the past, but Miss Jenasis provided just more than a costume. There is something very alluring about the whole ensemble that has me hooked. Either that, or I’m just some random Star Wars perv. /shrug. Also, I really dig the custom detailed Stormtrooper helmet!
