Lone. Female. Jedi. Dark Horse's next project?:
Posted: 30th June (UPDATED: 2nd July)
In an interview with affiliate Galactic Binder, Randy Stradley, Vice-President of Publishing at Dark Horse Comics, hinted at their next Star Wars project with just

three words: Lone. Female. Jedi. When asked "We look forward to seeing what other surprises Dark Horse has for us in the near future from our favorite galaxy far, far away. We’d ask you for a scoop, but you seem rather unbreakable with such things. Any chance we crack that tough exterior of yours for a one word clue or teaser?", Stradley replied, "Three words, but that’s all you’ll get from me. Lone. Female. Jedi. Make of that what you will. Just don’t expect the news to break too soon."
We await with bated breath for such an announcement.
You can read Galactic Binder's full interview here.

UPDATE: In response to speculation about his tease in the interview, Stradley wrote on the Dark Horse Message Boards: "Don't get too excited -- the book (assuming it actually happens) is in the early, EARLY planning stages at this point. I just wanted to tease you because I know how you love to speculate."

Star Wars comics on iTunes, soon:
Posted: 30th June
In a recent discussion on Dark Horse Message Boards, Dark Horse Comics' Vice-Presisdent Randy Stradley confirmed that Dark Horse are looking at ways

of offering content on iPhone/iPod Touch. Dark Horse Comics already offer the classic 4-part Terminator story The Terminator: Death Valley via iTunes (part 1 available free) and according to Stradley "we're going to kick off the Star Wars program with Empire: Betrayal, The Clone Wars: Shipyards of Doom, and Legacy: Broken." Stradley acknowledges the difficulties this new medium presents for comic storytelling: "everybody wanted to start with Dark Empire, but I felt that we needed to begin with something easier to adapt to the small screen. You'll recall that Dark Empire has a lot of full-page shots that might not look so good reduced to one-sixth size or smaller."
Star Wars comics via iTunes (reasonably called Dark Horse Mobile) should be available soon.

Lightsabre.co.uk is 10 years old:
Posted: 29th June
Affiliate Lightsabre.co.uk celebrated its 10th anniversary on Thursday last week. Webmaster and founder Mark Newbold commented: We almost can't

believe that it's been a decade since Lightsabre first ventured out into the waters of Star Wars fandom. Back then the net was a vastly different place, and the Star Wars universe a different world. We're proud to say that we've survived a decade online. After a few bumpy initial years, starting in 1995 as Q-Continuum, FantaWar and Wirezone we opted to morph into Lightsabre in June 1999, and it's been the best thing we ever did.
Star Wars Books congratulates Lightsabre.co.uk in reaching their 10th anniversary and wishes every success for the next ten years.
