This weekend I've been playing a bit with the incredibly complicated 3D model of the Z-95 Headhunter starfighter from the game Star Wars: Jedi Survivor

Rendered view of the cockpit interior of the Z-95 starfighter from the videogame Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. It features a complicated array of lights, buttons and screens in many different colors.

I don't want to judge it before I've read it, but it's very hard for me to see a resolution that doesn't make it feel weird that he already tracked its full ownership but later seemed ignorant of any step past Ducain

Ben @bhx1138.bsky.social · 13h

That tracks, but the wording of the solicit implies he knows Unkar has it. In TFA he has no idea who had it or where it was. Maybe he's just not sure if Unkar *still* has it after however many years pass between the comic and the movie, but surely he'd check there first if it was his last lead

Not to judge an issue by its solicit but I feel like this really clashes with TFA

Tried to do a little THR henna art on my hand this afternoon. Not too shabby for a first attempt 🙂

The back of my left hand covered in fresh orange henna markings. In the center is the High Republic symbol. Above it are the words "For Light" written in aurebesh character, and below (also in aurebesh) "And Life"

Very excited for this one, especially with it running for 6 issues instead of 4 like most of the THR miniseries 🙏

SWTHRA: Pathfinders, by @georgemann.bsky.social w/ art by Partha Pratim & covers by @jakebartok.bsky.social, is set 20 years after our Phase II storytelling. It's an expansion of the era & a great entry point into #StarWarsTheHighRepublic. It features a new cast and maybe a recognizable face or two.

Here you have the Gladiator Star Destroyer. I've labeled as Gladiator II Star Destroyer because I plan on doing the other one this week.

Honestly it's been off limits for so long that a M&G publishing push never even crossed my mind lol. Makes sense though

Part of me wonders if he's finally come around on Kallus and Zeb after years of fan input to get him used to the idea

Just one that I also enjoy using lol. I think I originally saw it in the comments of a post Pablo made on Twitter. Want to say it was from either Louie Mantia or Star Wars Fonts?

A diegetic ad in the trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu movie reads, "HALCYON — SEE THE GALAXY" and depicts the galactic starcruiser in profile:

Tector-class Star Destroyer (variant). First Appearance: The Muppet Show S4E17.

Oh, in a fit of aggressive continuity spackling, I made the big cylinder thing at the Jawa auction in Ep IV an R1 unit because the Star Wars Album souvenir book called it an older R2 unit. I called it a mark II reactor drone because of Uncle Owen dialog in the radio drama. It’s how I’m wired.

PSA for folks like me who haven't played the recent Star Wars games because of the insane prices — Jedi: Survivor is currently on a massive discount in the PS Store, and Outlaws is half price. 👀
