StarWars.com recently revealed the cover of the forthcoming novel "Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith," along with an exclusive excerpt. Written by Adam Christopher, the novel traces Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian's quest to find Exegol in a story set between the events of "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and featuring Ochi of Bestoon, the Sith assassin introduced in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." Here's the synopsis:

"Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable and Luke's worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace."

"Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith" arrives June 28, 2022. Check out StarWars.com to see the full cover and read an excerpt. 

Our friends at Star Wars News Net have a couple of interesting exclusive reports about the upcoming "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series. For starters, it seems that the settlement of Anchorhead — mentioned in "Star Wars: A New Hope" — will be seen in the Disney+ series. In fact, you may have already caught a glimpse of it in the trailer.

"We were told Anchorhead is more than a just local transportation hub, and that focal-point of the town itself is a bigger transport station than initially conceived. The tower you see can be compared to an air traffic control tower from major US airports. When they see the show, eagle-eye fans might find some similarities between the look of Anchorhead and Los Angeles International Airport, specifically. Since Anchorhead had only previously been referenced, and never actually seen in Star Wars canon, the designers were granted free-range to create the location from scratch, which we will hopefully continue to see in future stories."

Additionally, SWNN is also reporting that one of the six bounty hunters hired to find the Millennium Falcon in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" will appear in the series. If you want the reveal to remain a surprise, skip to the next news bit!

"We've heard from a credible source that the bounty hunter 4-LOM will make an appearance in the 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series. We don't know many specifics about his involvement, but we were assured he will have a bigger role than the mere seconds he spent on screen in 'The Empire Strikes Back.'"

Mighty Jabba's Collection has a review of Regal Robot's Rancor Gate Control magnet set. 

"The control magnet is approximately 3″ tall and was digitally sculpted based on a digital scan of the original film prop. Both the panel and scaled skull magnets in this highly detailed set are finished with layers of hand paint and distressing. Each is made and hand-finished by the FX artists in our New York studio. They ship ready to display with strong neodymium magnets that will make this set a great addition to your collection, home, office, man-cave or fridge!"
