Donald Glover Is Reportedly Coming Back To Star Wars As Lando Calrissian
When Solo: A Star Wars Story came out in the summer of 2018 to mixed critical and audience reviews, there was one aspect of it that nearly everyone agreed on: Donald Glover's performance as Lando Calrissian was the highlight of the movie. Some fans even said that he stole the spotlight from the main character, Han Solo. As expected, demand was high for Star Wars to incorporate Glover's Lando in future installments of the franchise. Around the time of Solo's release, rumors pointed to the possibility of a Lando spinoff, and though LucasFilm confirmed nothing, even Glover spurred on the speculation. As Solo was releasing in theaters, Glover showed great interest in a potential spin-off, and even pitched a feature film idea for Lando, painting the picture of a heist film similar to Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can.

'Star Wars: Doctor Aphra' Audio Drama Review - Familiar Beats, But a Bit More Added to Rogue Archaeologist
Tuesday saw the release of Sarah Kuhn’s audio drama Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, which is based on the titular rogue archaeologist’s early comic book appearances in which she aids Darth Vader, who is trying to climb the power ladder and find Luke Skywalker. While there is an ongoing Doctor Aphra comic series that began in December 2016 and got revamped recently, the character was originally introduced in the third issue of Kieron Gillen’s 2015 Darth Vader comic series that takes place after Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. This audio drama adapts Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra’s adventures throughout that series, as well as the Vader Down crossover with the comic series simply titled Star Wars, and the Rebel Jail arc of that series, which takes place between Vader Down and the last arc of Gillen’s Darth Vader series. Sarah Kuhn describes Aphra as “immediate chaos,” and that is brought across very accurately in this audio drama.

The figurine itself features immaculate detail, as shown here, with the vibrant colors and the vegetation clinging onto the ship. It is a creative choice to feature the X-Wing in its less-than-perfect condition, but any Star Wars fan knows that this form of the X-Wing is perhaps the most meaningful, as it appears in one of the most inspirational Star Wars scenes ever.
