    STILL slowly but surely trudging through Aftermath. Been listening to Battlefront audiobook on and off and it's at least kept my interest.

    May pick up bloodline this weekend.

    So there is a script leak with a huge Episode VIII spoiler out there. Be careful.

    I don't know anything about it but I strongly doubt it's legit.

    And please no one even link it in here.

    Supposedly some Ep 8 footage has screened at some thing in Vegas and we may get something at SW Celebration.

    Looks like 2/3 of a Defender.

    THEY ONLY LAUNCHED A FEW TIES DURING YAVIN BECAUSE OF TARKIN'S HUBRIS COME ON MAN DO YOU EVEN BACKSTORY.

    That being said tho, yeah it seems weird to have a class of Storm Trooper and TIE fighter that we never see again.

    In another part of the galaxy? Fighting X-wings on the other side of the Death Star? Off camera, away from our heroes? It's a big-ass galaxy and although the Empire has nearly limitless resources, not all of their equipment is going to change out instantaneously

    The novelelization I think?

    In the movie, Tarkin refuses to evacuate and Vader is the one who orders the fighters out. Hes also junior to Tarkin in this case so it's possible he couldn't order the whole wing scrambled.

    if you're talking about that stuff from last week involving trees (won't say any more), that's been pretty thoroughly debunked. Don't know why so many quasi-legit sites ran it, it was a silly rumor.

    The Bespin DLC is available for Battlefront. Cloud City is fucking beautiful. This game sure has some outstanding visuals, I'll say that for it.

    Kinda trivial at this point but Ehrenreich still hasn't been officially confirmed as Han.
