GALAXY WIRE: STAR WARS NEWS FROM AROUND THE WEB – JUNE 10, 2015

ASAJJ VENTRESS' SECRET MISSION MAY SHOCK YOU, PLUS MORE NEWS FROM AROUND THE INTERNET!

Galaxy Wire is a selection of the StarWars.com team’s favorite activity relating to Jedi, Sith, and the power of the Force on the Internet. From Star Wars: The Force Awakens tidbits to photos of dogs dressed like Ewoks, you’ll find it all here. Thankfully, no Bothans died to get us this information.




Who is Asajj Ventress?

One of the most complex characters in the Star Wars universe just got even more interesting. While she had little use for no-good Jedi like Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, it turns out the slinky assassin was also part of a plot to knock off her Master, Count Dooku. In an interview with DenofGeek.com, author Christie Golden (who penned Fate of the Jedi) chats about her new Star Wars novel Dark Assassin, which was adapted from the unaired seventh season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and is due to hit shelves July 7.





Angelina Jolie: Actress, Mother, Humanitarian, Boba Fett Fan!

What do Lara Croft, Fox, Mrs. Smith, and Evelyn Salt all have in common? Their bullets don’t miss (though they sometimes tend to curve) and they all share traits with the biggest, baddest bounty hunter in the galaxy!

(They were also played by the same actress.)

Entertainment Tonight reports that in an interview with Domnhall Gleeson, who has an upcoming role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Angelina Jolie revealed that her favorite character in Star Wars is Boba Fett. Watch out Sabine, there’s another artist aspiring to be a Mandalorian gunslinger!





Understanding the Minds Behind the Costumes  

Yoda. Jabba. Vader. Some of these Star Wars characters may be good, may be evil, but all of their behavior can be used to examine several different mental disorders, according to a pair of psychiatrists and devoted Star Wars fans. Take a closer look at Ryan C.W. Hall and Susan Hatters Friedman’s analysis in The Week magazine, good for the nerds and geeks that didn’t learn one thing from two semesters of college psychology!





Check out the Greatest Secret in the Galaxy!

In a report by Digital Spy, Secret Cinema’s new Star Wars event in England will be twice as big as the one held for Back to the Future last year. One hundred screenings of The Empire Strikes Back, 400 actors, DJs, bands, and a secret location for fans to visit…What else is there to say? Sequels are always bigger.

BACK FROM THE DRAWING BOARD, PART 2: REPURPOSED STAR WARS TECHNOLOGY JAWAS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES TO SEE VALUE IN OLD DROIDS. LEARN HOW STAR WARS CREATORS HAVE REUSED FORGOTTEN CONCEPTS FOR FILM AND TV! The previous installment of Back from the Drawing Board discussed the various aliens that were recycled from unused concept art. This time we will look at droids and starships that were originally designed for the movies, but ended up in other sources. Bring in the Droids, Again Some of the most obvious examples can be found in Star Wars Rebels, which draws heavily from the unused concept art of Ralph McQuarrie. One of the main characters, Chopper (1), finds his origin in conceptual designs from our other favorite astromech, R2-D2. A different design was used directly in West End Games’ Cynabar’s Fantastic Technology to depict the P2 astromech droid (3). Another iconic design by McQuarrie, the one intended for C-3PO, also ended up in Rebels in the form of the RQ pro

MEET THE GEONOSIS JEDI GET TO KNOW THE JEDI WARRIORS WHO WERE THE FIRST TO FIGHT THE CLONE WARS! When Obi-Wan Kenobi got captured on Geonosis by the powerhouses of the Secessionist Movement, Mace Windu decided to lead a task force of 200 Jedi. Meanwhile, Yoda left for the Kamino system where the Republic would make use of the mysterious clone army that had been ordered about a decade ago by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The participation of the Jedi on Geonosis would prove to be an omen of what the Clone Wars would bring for the guardians of peace and justice. The battle showed what the Jedi were and also what they weren’t. The Jedi were compassionate beings who didn’t hesitate to rescue a fellow Jedi in need and who did anything they could to protect the Galactic Republic. But the Jedi had evolved into diplomats and keepers of the peace instead of hardened battlefield commanders. The outcome of the Battle of Geonosis would be disastrous for the Jedi Order, as about 170 of the 200 Jedi

RON HOWARD DISCUSSES THE FORCES THAT SHAPE HAN IN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY ON THE STAR WARS SHOW

Han Solo has been a fan favorite since we first met him and his walking carpet of a copilot inside the wretched hive that is the Mos Eisley cantina.  And when Director Ron  swtor credits   Howard takes us back to Solo’s earlier days in Solo: A Star Wars Story later this month, he promises to examine some the scoundrel’s multifaceted personality and explore what — and who — shaped him into the hero we already know and love. This week on The Star Wars Show, Howard sits down to talk about Han’s enduring appeal, which all comes down to the character’s  swtor credits   duality. “He’s a great guy and he hates that about himself!” Howard says. “The idea that he’s out for himself, he’s got an outlaw spirit and code on one hand, but he can’t quite live it and walk it (because) he doesn’t entirely feel it.” Bonus: The good-natured director didn’t just talk business while he was here. Check out the video below to see  swtor credits  Howard as he tries his luck playing our original game “
