The penultimate issue of Brian Wood‘s Star Wars puts the chief characters into position for their finale. Continuing directly from the previous issue, Wood and the artistic creative team maintain their high standard in focusing on the heroes and villains of Star Wars not long after the events of A New Hope, and this time, we also get to see a cameo of Boba Fett!

On a mission leading a group of her stealth Grey Squadron, Leia and her team are detected by an Imperial fleet, including an Interdictor Star Destroyer preventing them from leaving the system via lightspeed. As they are overwhelmed by TIE Fighters, the group fights against the odds. But in these precarious maneuvers, their actions could end up resulting in disastrous consequences for them and the Rebellion.

Want To See Lando Calrissian In Star Wars VII? Billy Dee Williams Says Tell Disney!
  |  

The last several months have been up and down with movie rumors for the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams.

In response, Billy Dee Williams has called upon his fans to tell Disney and Lucasfilm if they would like to see Lando return. Here’s the full message:

Greedo + High Heels = Your WTF Geek Pic Of The Day
  |  

Greedo. Son of Greedo the Elder. Bounty Hunter. And high heel connoisseur.

Yes, today’s WTF Geek Pic of the Day (pictured right – click to enlarge) is making its way around the web at the moment via websites like imgur and Reddit, and it’s all about Greedo wearing high heels.

I think I’m more concerned about how much George Lucas in this photo looks like he thinks this is somewhat normal. Personally, I’m wondering whether there’s a Greedo in Stilettos image floating around. Or maybe Greedo in KISS platform boots. Wait, that one would actually rock.
