Well, that was a very pleasant surprise and probably the best Hasbro Star Wars livestream in literal ages! Not just when it comes to the number of reveals, but also the presentation felt much more alive this time, less scripted, less teleprompter reading and actually, just like five people having fun with the reveals… Anyway, much to my own surprise Hasbro revealed a ton of The Acolyte figures, which will all be released in Fall 2024!
- Jedi Master Sol
- Padawan Jecki Lon
- Jedi Knight Yord Fandar
- Jedi Master Indara
- Mae (Assassin)
ALL figures come with their robes and each has a unique lightsaber! Only Mae comes with various knives/daggers instead, but she too has her purple cloak. All the figures are mainline items in the US and Fan Channel / Amazon / Pulse items in Europe and everything revealed today will be available for pre-order on March 21st at 1 pm ET!
On top of that a new Darth Maul holocomm figure was revealed as well and there will also be a new Moff Gideon roleplay helmet
There are also quite a few exciting pipeline reveals! Stay tuned for the update coming very soon with all the photos and some discussion!

So much new stuff!

In a movie with many iconic scenes, “Apology accepted, Captain Needa!” is certainly one of those memorable moments, when a sadistic Darth Vader once again disposes of one of his officers like a used paper tissue in The Empire Strikes Back.
And sadly, the actor portraying Captain Needa, Michael Culver, has passed away on February 27th 2024 at the age of 85, news of his death however only broke yesterday. Michael Culver did not appear in all that many Hollywood movies, but like many other accomplished British actors he had a very extensive theatre career and Culver was also always in high demand on British television, where he regularly appeared in various series until 2008, only after that did his tv career slowly wind down, but Culver would still narrate a few documentaries in later years.
So let’s all remember Michael Culver who will never be forgotten by the Star Wars community as the officer who would take full responsibility for losing track of Han Solo, only to become another one of Darth Vader’s victims. But as mentioned above, it would be wrong to limit Michael Culver’s long career to this one movie, some of the series he starred in that you may have heard of outside of Britain are Space 1999, The Professionals or the classic The Avengers.
Rest in peace!
Apology accepted, Captain Needa!

This week we get a The Bad Batch double feature with Infiltration and Extraction. And the two episodes are the best of season 3 thus far. One reason for that is that the focus this week is mostly on Rex, Crosshair, Howzer and Wolffe with some interesting cameos, even the action is above standard, no alien monsters this week, instead we get an intense escape sequence when a deadly clone assassin and squads of clone troopers under the command of Wolffe, who try to capture Omega, raid Rex’ hideout. So click here or on the banner to read my spoiler review and let’s discuss this week’s two-parter!

Star Wars gets a new promo campaign! This time it’s “Imperial March” (they seem to love puns) and as the name suggests this campaign is all about the villains! The official Star Wars site has all the details and they will also post highlights from the newly revealed items each week. The Black Series will get a Jedi Fallen Order 3-pack with the Second Sister, an Inquisitor version of Cal Kestis (based on a vision) and once more a Purge Trooper, but with some changed paint deco, so you get two straight repacks/repaints and one new figure. For the Vintage Collection reveals check the specific TVC article!
Price was not mentioned, pre-orders open on March 14th, 1 pm ET or 17:00 GMT, the set is an Amazon US exclusive! Release date is summer 2024, so in about four or five months from now! Go to the official Star Wars site for the other reveals, among them a Jazwares Micro Squadron N-1 Starfighter!
Will you get the Black Series Fallen Order 3-pack?
