I'm glad the EU is gone, personally. I love the direction the new canon is going in. the Skeleton of the old EU, but much better stories in my opinion. Thrawn wasn't enough to redeem the old EU.

do we really have enough EU already to say that the stories are better?

I suppose you're right. Nonetheless, I like the direction things are going in. Much more coordinated, inter-connected stories.

Well, before they didn't have a Story Group coordinating all content.

I'm reading it right now, actually. So far I don't enjoy it as much as Tarkin, but it's alright nonetheless.

I've heard the second half is action packed with Vader being an evil badass. I'm guessing Tarkin isn't worth it for the action alone and is more political? I've been considering it.

Tarkin is more political, but I'd say it's highlight is the relationship between Vader and Tarkin.

Tarkin's pretty good. Action is decent if a bit cliche (as in it reads like most generic sci fi like Halo), but there's some really good character development and backstory to the rise of Palpatine.

I really like the backstory they gave Tarkin.

if jar jar shows up in the force awakens, it will be my favorite film of all time

So Bad Batch released on starwars.com. It's alright, kinda disappointed by how they handled Wat Tambor but the arc was OK nonetheless.

Updated comic release schedule.

There's gonna be a one hour special June 20th, but regular episode airings won't occur until the fall. It'll probably b sooner than October though, since they won't want to conflict with TFA.

First look at C3-PO and Finn holding a new Blaster type. Also a nice image of R2, 3PO and BB-8 together.

Very cool. Also, I'm pretty sure that Rey's goggles are salvaged from an old Imperial Stormtrooper helmet.

Adam Driver is Kylo Ren, as most people assumed.

Nice shot of Poe Dameron and his X-Wing

Various creatures

Was this official, or a leak?

Regardless, please stop posting spoilers, or at the very least place them in spoiler brackets. I'd rather see the movie and not know every plot point before hand.

It's all official from this issue, but I can hide them.
