If you read this each week, you should be able to converse fluently with any Star Wars fan on everything from the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens developments to the latest toys. And maybe you’ll even share with them something that they might have missed.
Let’s get to it!

At a recent “Attack of the Clones” 3D screening, Dennis Muren confirmed that more 3D Star Wars is coming:
Dennis Muren confirmed a finished Revenge of the Sith 3D. He thinks they’re probably going to see release after The Force Awakens. #StarWars
