Star Wars: Kanan #1 Hits Six-Digit Sales

Posted on by

Via Comicbook.com:

ComicBook.com can confirm that Kanan #1, the April 1st-launching comic that serves as a spin-off prequel to the animated series Rebels has reached over 100,000 in sales via Diamond as of today’s Final Order Cutoff date. Unlike the others, Kanan #1 is limited to only four total covers; there were over 60 for Star Wars #1, 17 for Darth Vader #1, and 18 for Leia #1. That’s four consecutive launches in six digits, and depending on exact numbers, that should put Kanan in or very near the top five of releases for April. In January, after the far and above #1 of Star Wars, only three other comics crossed the 100k mark: two issues ofAmazing Spider-Man – #12 & #13, and Batman #38. Indeed, they were the only four issues over 75k.

Via Starwars.com:

Escape the oppressive rule of the Empire and engage in devious schemes with the galaxy’s slimiest and most notorious gangsters: the Hutts!

No matter your vice – gambling, luxury, spice, beauty, or other – Whatever your pleasure, you can find it in abundance in Hutt Space, and you can find it in Lords of Nal Hutta, the Hutt Space sourcebook for the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Roleplaying Game.

In its 144 pages, Lords of Nal Hutta offers Game Masters all the information they need to bring the most corrupt and lawless stretch of the galaxy to life. Opportunity is abundant, but it comes at a perilously steep price. Anyone who flies Hutt Space lanes and hauls their questionable cargo must continuously ask themselves how far they’re willing to go in the name of cold, hard credits. Find everything you need to base a campaign in this infamous region, including information on over a dozen planets and their histories, plot hooks, and local creatures and challenges.

Star Wars’ Most Explosive Moment, Captured Perfectly In A Video Game

Posted on by

Via Kotaku.com:

Since it’s out today on GoG, meaning a bunch of people are going to be playing it for the first time, let’s talk about X-Wing Alliance. And how it has the best ending of any Star Wars game ever made.

X-Wing Alliance, the third in Lucasarts’ trilogy of space shooters, took away years of my life. It had — and this has been all but forgotten — a terrific multiplayer component, which for the first time let people engage in big, fun missions in the Star Wars universe without battling against primitive online lobbies or dial-up ping (unlike X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, which was probably a year or two ahead of its time).
