"Star Wars: Return of the J.J." It's all anyone was talking about yesterday. I don't even know exactly where I heard it from. It was everywhere, but J.J. Abrams, the man who started all this in motion with Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be returning to finish up this current installment of the Skywalker trilogy with Episode IX. I should be ecstatic, this is the guy who not only brought back Star Trek, he made it cool. I love Star Trek, but even I never thought that would be possible. However, I can't help but think of one thing that keeps nagging in the back of my mind. The best way to put it is, I love how J.J. starts things off, I'm just not usually to crazy when he tries to end things. Making him perfect for something like Awakens, but leaving me a little worried in the Episode IX department. Remember LOST? Started off amazing; we won't discuss the ending though. Also, included with this news was the news Chris Terrio will co-write with Abrams. If that name sounds familiar it's because he also co-wrote Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Which though I'm a defender of, it's never been because of the writing. I've got to say, I'm actually growing concerned for this movie. I'm not the only one either, Variety followed this up this morning with the news that Episode IX will be abandoning it's May 24th release date for December 20, 2019. Many people saw this coming for awhile now, so it's not a giant surprise. Especially after this giant change of plans. Fingers crossed though, Abrams has done some amazing things. If he's ever going to wrap something up perfectly let's just hope this is the one. What do y'all think though? I'm really curious as the reception this gets. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Thank you Jason Aaron For Your Amazing Run On Marvel's "Star Wars"
Jason Aaron is hanging up his pen & is finished writing on Marvel's Star Wars comic. October 4th will mark his final issue on what has been an amazing run. If you haven't been following these & are a Star Wars fan, you have done yourself a grave injustice. After 37 issues on Marvel’s blockbuster ongoing series, Aaron is passing the torch to fellow superstar, Kieron Gillen. Marvel put up this awesome tribute to Jason Aaron and all of the other talented creators, including David Aja, Simone Bianchi, Mark Brooks, John Cassaday, Marco Checchetto, Mike Deodato Jr., Terry Dodson, Stuart Immonen, Salvador Larroca, Mike Mayhew, Jorge Molina and Leinil Francis Yu. It showcases all the covers up to now. I can attest as a person who buys way too many comics if you're only going to pick up two comics Star Wars & Darth Vader have been some of the best reads of the past years. It's always scary to have someone else pick up writing on something that's been this good for this long. I hate to see him go. He's added some really cool things to the Star Wars universe. Hopefully, someone can fill the big shoes he's leaving behind. Definitely check these out though, I can't stress how great this run has been. If you know, tell us what you think. What's your favorite issue out of the run? Mine are any of the issues that are taken from Obi-Wan Kenobi's journal. Put yours in the comments, like, & share.
