I must say, the latest Droid Tales episode, Gambit on Geonosis, is my favorite! I had the opportunity yesterday to see it for the first time.
I absolutely loved the old Yoda Chronicles and the New Yoda Chronicles. Gambit has a wonderful surprise-appearance by Jek-14 from that older series, a reference to Lindo Calrissian and his Falcon nightclub, complete with the music (also from the Yoda Chronicles) plus a TFA female characters joke, a Boba Fett-sarlaac joke, and the all around lego fun many of us have come to love.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the Boba Fett joke could be taken to be very in-depth. In the Legends- verse there are two accounts of Boba Fett escaping from the sarlacc, vastly different from each other. The one you can find in the short story collection Tales From Jabba's Palace, and the other is in the Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy. Some have speculated that this can be explained by saying Fett fell in twice, at different times, therefore getting out two different ways. Now maybe that's not what Gambit was referring to, but I'd like to think it is.
It would be hard to decide what my favorite quote was from this episode. Perhaps Han's "I feel a disturbance in the Falcon," or Vader's "It's a little tricky." Hm. I'll have to think about that.

So Soon...
The Force Awakens in a month and a half! Do you remember when we were celebrating because Episode VII was a year out? Wow. We're so close now...
Do you have your tickets yet? I do, and my whole family has decided to go with me, so they have theirs too. Who are you taking to see Ep VII, or are you going to experience it first by yourself?

Clone Wars Inquisitor
Dave Filoni said something very interesting in the latest Rebel Recon, which you can watch on www.starwars.com.
Remember "The Inquisitor" from Rebels season 1? Filoni said that we've already seen him before. In the Clone Wars. We just didn't know it.
Am I the only one who is going to go through Seasons 1-5, the Lost Missions, Son of Dathomir, the Utapau and Bad Batch story reels, and Dark Disciple again, searching the backgrounds for possibilities?
The Utapau arc is the one that comes most forcibly to mind, of course, given his species... but he could be in some cantina somewhere, I suppose. Or the Senate. We really know very little... make that almost nothing... of this guy's past. Have you spotted him or have options on who he could be? I'd love it if you'd share your theories in the comments below!

Shinbone!
Guess what's arrived from the library?
Adventures in Hyperspace 2: Shinbone Showdown!
With Rebels and the new TFA trailer and tickets on sale, there's so much new to explore... but the old is new for me too, at this point in my explorations!
Now I'll finally be able to learn what this Shinbone business is about...
I'm curious to find out whose shin is important here; Han's or Chewie's, because Jabba doesn't have any.

We Have a Trailer...
... And what a trailer it is!
If you are as excited about The Force Awakens as I am, then you probably watched the trailer a whole bunch of times in a row. I sure did.
If you haven't seen the clips of John Boyega and Daisy Riddley watching the trailer, you should find them (starwarsunderworld.com has them). They responded like fans, which was utterly awesome.
The music! The lighting on the bridge of that destroyer-- the red glow! BB-8! Han and Leia and Chewie! X-Wings and TIEs! It's so hard to pick what was my favorite moment because the whole thing was utterly incredible.
I should go watch it again, try to pick out some highlights...
It's less than two months until that Awakening we've been feeling comes. Oya Star Wars!

Padmé Foster
Contains no spoilers
Yes! I am running through Avengers Phase 1 again, just because, and I am watching Thor right now.
Of the Marvel (Avengers-verse only) characters, my favorite superhero was Thor. I liked his character-change arc, as he goes from overconfident and self-focused to something more.
And then a certain new character in Age of Ultron happened. Who has a yellow stone in his head. I think I may like him better.
Watching Thor again for the first time since Ultron is interesting. I'm seeing things differently now.
Which is always fun.
Would Clone Wars-era Anakin have liked Thor, had the two met? It would probably depend on who Natalie Portman was playing at that moment.
