Awesome Rex And Ahsoka Kotobukiya ARTFX Figures Revealed
Comic-Con season is upon us, and it would not be Comic-Con without dozens of stunning figures flooding the halls of the convention center and images of them on every social media platform. With SDCC being postponed until next year, there was a toy-shaped hole in the heart of this summer season. However, you should not fret because several toy companies have revealed some stellar figures that would be worthy of the Comic-Con halls, and no toy reveal would be complete without a few Star Wars toys in the mix.

Is 'Star Wars' Science Fiction?
Everybody thinks of Star Wars as in the genre of science fiction, or at least has heard of it referenced to as science fiction.

Doug Chiang: An Unknown Architect Of The 'Star Wars' Prequels
When it comes to the overall look of the Star Wars galaxy, a lot of credit (and rightfully so) is given to concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who illustrated various iterations or original trilogy characters whom we have come to know and love. His influence has even lived on in the Disney era of the franchise, notably via various characters and creatures featured in the animated series Star Wars Rebels. However, there is another artist whom some fans sometimes overlook, and he deserves the spotlight as well. That man is Doug Chiang, born February 16, 1962.

How Han Solo Was Almost In The Prequel Trilogy
The prequel trilogy not only showed the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker, but it also gave fans a look at the origin of several other characters in the Star Wars universe. For some characters, like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, it was imperative to see them in the time before the fall of the Republic. On the other hand, the origins of characters like C-3PO and R2-D2 were nice little treats for fans. Creator Georg Lucas wanted to see one more character on screen in the prequels, however. Originally, Lucas planned for the iconic trio from the original trilogy to make an appearance in Revenge of the Sith, and that included everyone’s favorite smuggler.
