Today the folks at Anovos announced that they've begun production on a officially licensed life-sized replica helmet from "Star Wars The Mandalorian". This is the same helmet that the main character wears in the first live-action Star Wars show, the show that'll debut on the first Disney streaming service, Disney+ (Disney Plus, if you like). Before the show is even shown, the folks at Anovos are making a $650 helmet for the super fans.

For the past several years, Lucasfilm and Disney have made it their mission to make "Force Friday" a shopping holiday. To make the absolute most of the first Friday in which certain Star Wars toys were made available, they initiated a sort of tradition. Since just before the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we've been experiencing this day they call Force Friday.

Following weeks of speculation and rumors, Disney has confirmed that it will release a Star Wars series on its Disney+ platform that stars actor Ewan McGregor. The actor played the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy from 1999 to 2005 and will, according to Disney, play that role again in the new show. The company hasn't announced a name for the series at this time.

Disneyland's Star Wars Hotel near Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge was revealed in part by Disney recently as the absolute most ultimate Star Wars experience. Disney's relatively broad, exciting, and fanciful description of this experience made it seem like they'd created something above and beyond any sort of fan-aimed product made for any fantasy universe before. For that, one would assume the cost per-person and per-night for a stay at this hotel would be... pretty substantial.

This week the folks at Hyperbolic Magnetism are probably pretty pumped up about all the press they're getting for Beat Saber. They first started development for this game back in 2016, and between then and now it's been tested by hundreds of users. In its first couple weeks on the Steam VR store and Oculus Store, Beat Saber's become a sort of shock hit.

Rumor started this morning of a Lando Calrissian movie as foretold by Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy. It was misquoted, as noted and re-noted by the source for the material. But the hype is real, and the reaction to the possibility of such a film is no surprise to us, no surprise at all.

Powered prosthetics are becoming so well designed, they're surpassing their sci-fi film predecessors. Look to Open Bionics, a group that's working on a project called Hero Arm. They've created a 3D-printed bionic arm that works with muscle control, custom covers, and full customizability. This is one of those times where it's abundantly apparent that we're living in a technologic wonderland.

It's as if Disney calls Jon Favreau first, and if he's not available, they move on to someone else. Today Disney announced that they'd signed on Jon Favreau to executive produce and write a Star Wars TV show that'll come first to Disney's streaming content app (still not yet released.) This is the 12-billionth time Favreau will have worked with Disney in a leading role.

Disney has announced that Star Wars Episode 9 will be arriving later than expected. When the company announced yesterday that JJ Abrams was being brought on to direct and write Episode 9, we probably should have assumed this would happen, as is sounds like Abrams' arrival is acting as something of a hard reset for production. In any case, we're all going to have to wait quite a bit longer for Episode 9 to release.

This morning a BUNCH of Star Wars: The Last Jedi info was data mined from the Star Wars "Find the Force" campaign meant for Force Friday. Included were a set of character tokens, all of the character hologram avatars, all of the scannable store posters, and a bunch more. Needless to say, what follows is certainly worthy of being called a SPOILER for The Last Jedi.
