Star Wars Sunday Weekly Summary;

Poe Dameron (Marvel Comic):
So Thursday evening I entered the Odeon Cinema in Greenwich to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the 4th time, and being the good cinema goer that I am I ensured I turned my phone off. So it was to my surprise, and a little cheer that got a few funny looks, that when i turned my phone back on and checked my email it had been announced that Poe Dameron would be getting an on-going series at Marvel Comics from Charles Soule and Phil Noto.

Confirmed to be set before Star Wars Force Awakens, General Leia sends Poe Dameron and a squad of X-Wing fighters on a daring mission. I for one can not wait to get hold of this and with Phil Noto on artwork you just know that this comic is going to look stunning. If you haven't read the Chewbacca limited series yet, trade paperback out in February, you really should.

Poe Dameron will hit shelves some time in April, and I may, just may, have to break my digital only rule and pick this one up from my favourite comic store.

Star Wars Rebels Season 2;
Right next up Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Mid-Season trailer has been released and before I go on you must watch it! NOW!;

You've watched it? Good. Wow just wow, just as my excitement for the Force Awakens was beginning to calm down this is released and now I can look forward to what looks to be an incredibly exciting second half and finale for Season Two. There are so many questions from that trailer! Did you see Mandalorians? New Flagship for the Rebels? Was that Darth Maul? What path will Ezra take? Are there other Jedi survivors? Along with definitive things. More Yoda! More Ahsoka! Hera's father arrives! Ahsoka vs Darth Vader! This is going to be one hell of a ride and emotional rollercoaster. To say I'm excited for this is an understatement, they really look to have kicked this up a gear and it looks to me as though the second half of Season 2 can reach the great heights of The Clone Wars at its peak! Back on the 20th in the US and 23rd in the UK.

Kylo Ren Kotobukiya Artfx+ Statue;

After Poe Dameron, who I really hope will get his own Artfx+ statue, Kylo Ren is easily my favourite character from The Force Awakens. So I was pleased this week when Kotobukiya announced his statue, I have already pre-ordered mine. With many poses you can put this statue into your favourite Kylo Ren pose. Its also worth noting that this statue looks great and at only £65.99 to £69.99 before postage is good value for money. Especially if like me you would love to have figures and statues of your favourite characters, oh how I would like to by the Hot Toys figures, but at an affordable price. I've pre-ordered myself Kylo and also the Droids, C3-PO, R2-D2 and BB-8 statue. I'll be hoping for and looking forward to more of these coming with some of our light side heroes

Quick side note and not related to the above it was confirmed this week that the Hot Toys Rey figure will come with a lightsaber! Not that I'll be able to get it.
