Collection, Question and Speculation!

Its been a fun roller-coaster of rumors and news over the last few weeks! As we have now met the cast for both Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars Episode VII and celebrated our first "official" Star Wars Day last Sunday, we are starting to speculate once again about the what the future holds for the franchise and our beloved action figure line. So our first question was inspired by an image Paul Bateman (concept designer and student of Ralph McQuarrie) recently posted comparing Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness to the recently announced Ep VII actor Domhall Gleeson. Could we see the return of some familiar Force Ghosts?  Would they appear to all Jedi or just Luke himself?  Time will tell of course but in the [...]

The Nerdist shows truth behind Kenner Commercials

The Nerdist takes a behind scenes look at what really went on while filming Kenner's The Return of the Jedi Collection commercial.  Who knew Gammorean Guards were so desirable! Kenner provided tons of commercials for the vintage line but in the modern line commercials have been somewhat scarce.  We hope to see a reemergence of them with new Star Wars media coming later this year and of course with next year's Episode VII! May the Figures be with you!

Star Wars Rebels Influences

We here at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss can't help but to feel that we are picking up some familiar vibes from the cast of Star Wars Rebels.  If the show's character chemistry and dynamics is anything like the ill-fated Firefly we'll be in for one fantastic ride. We have already pointed out in the past how the archetypes also follow a another group of rebels we are all quite fond of. With all of these elements combined, the debut of Star Wars Rebels has us as excited as we are for Episode VII's debut.  Don't forget that the first trailer for Rebels will premiere this Sunday on May the Fourth during the news Lego Star Wars Yoda Chronicles episode! May the Figures be with you!

StarWars.com Officially Announces EU

Today Starwars.com announced in a press release that all previous Star Wars content outside of the six theatrical episodes and the six seasons of the animated series The Clone Wars as Expanded Universe.  This of course comes at a time when Lucasfilm, and its new adoptive parent Disney, are in the process of creating a sequel trilogy which is set to take place in an era of Star Wars which has already been documented in novels and comics.  So in order to eliminate this issue Lucasfilm's story group has chosen to streamline by making all future stories in comics, television and novels as canon thus making most everything that has been released in the past Expanded Universe. We have an unprecedented slate of new Star Wars entertainment on the horizon," said Kennedy. "We're [...]
