Han Solo Read Thru 2018

Welcome to the endcap discussion post for Han Solo at Star's End by Brian Daley. I was out of town last week and missed everything so I have many links to bring this week. After this week let's regroup and find out where we are because I suspect I'm not the only one whose life is nuts.

Links:

• Trailer for Star Wars: Resistance. We've all been waiting for it!
  
• A Star Wars Production Designer Says a Now-Halted Spinoff Was Headed to Tatooine
  
• Evangeline Lilly asked J.J. Abrams to cast her as Princess Leia in the new Star Wars trilogy
  
• Why Star Wars Rebels Didn't Wait Until the Finale to Kill This Character. I think we all know this spoiler, but, big old spoiler for S4 of Rebels.
  
• Dave Filoni Admits It's 'Challenging' to Think of Other Other People Working on 'Star Wars Rebels' Characters. Nobody tell him about AO3.
  
• This Star Wars fan theory argues that The Last Jedi is lying about Rey's parents. I reject this theory completely.

Happy reading and happy talking!

Welcome to the end recap post for A.C. Crispin's The Hutt Gambit. Also, it's time for another check-in on how the comm is going, whether we're moving at the right pace, etc. Please add your thoughts. (And about the book!)

Once you've finished reading the book, here are some links to catch up on:

• Disney is bringing back Star Wars: The Clone Wars. YESSS!
  
• The New Era of Star Wars Has Revitalized Darth Vader in the Best, Most Frightful Way.
  
• Mark Hamill Trolls Star Wars Fans With 'Episode IX' Casting News. (This was posted before SDCC started)
  
• This Star Wars character connects the galaxy in a big way. Pretty minor IMO but interesting.
  
• Star Wars: 25 Behind-The-Scenes Photos That Completely Change The Force Awakens. My favorite is, of course, Harrison Ford laughing out loud.
  
• The Beautiful, Ugly, and Possessive Hearts of Star Wars. I hesitated to post this because it dealt with fandom ugliness, but it's ultimately a great read. By Film Crit Hulk, so you know its heart is in the right place.
  
• OG Star Wars bloopers on Youtube. 2 1/2 minutes, not all have sound.

This is the end recap post for The Paradise Snare by A.C. Crispin. I know a lot of you are running behind and this is also a time to catch up on reading and also to check in on how the comm is running. I have a crapload of links for you but they'll go into a links post tomorrow.

One of the big questions I have is whether it would be better to do longer chunks and post every other week, which might suit people's schedules better.
