Carbonite. Wonderful stuff that. Seen famously at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back" as Han Solo (Harrison Ford) finds himself captured and hauled away like a slab of meat for the eat and plenty. Claiming a far better captive-in-hold rate than prison chains or silk ties, it's at the top of all bounty hunter wishlists.

But what's cheaper than carbonite and can allow all you bounty hunters a clearer product display of your captive? A plastic box of course. Like the one seen here displaying Han Solo once more. Colourful and with eyes that look like they were painted on, you can now allow your bidders, buyers and other people to see exactly in full array, the person you have in locks.

Joining the ranks of bobble heads from wacky wobbler makers, Funko, he's still the same Millennium Falcon pilot all so many Star Wars lovers love to love.

Not so much for those fans of Greedo though.

(Does this maverick have some kind of fetish for being bound by tight spaces?)

 

Currently somewhere in the midst of pre-pre-production, Joss Whedon just turned in the script to the Wonder Woman feature film. Far from anything solid yet, actresses with names and histories are reportedly jumping all over trying to land the role. Probably won't happen if casting another "unknown" is in the cards.

Until the big screen, and after that little neck breaking incident, Diana Prince makes it back from the wilds in the comics...

One year after the execution of Maxwell Lord and the earth-shattering events of INFINITE CRISIS, the DCU is still struggling to come to terms with its most powerful heroine. Is she a martyr or a murderer? A politician or a super hero?

Writer Allan Heinberg (Young Avengers, JLA, TV's The O.C. and Sex and the City) and artists Terry & Rachel Dodson (Marvel Knights: Spider-Man, Harley Quinn) provide surprising answers, giving Wonder Woman a fresh, sexy look and a bold new direction!

The series begins with the multi-part "Who Is Wonder Woman?" story arc, paying homage to the character's distinguished history while placing her firmly in the present with an all-new supporting cast, a brand-new mission, and a renewed sense of wonder.

A treat for longtime fans and a perfect jumping-on point for new readers, Wonder Woman #1 features the icon you know and love as you've never seen her before!

Marvel Comics unleash the embedded reporters to the Civil War: Front Line. A ten part series down in the trenches of the Superhero Registration Act. Nothing to do with trademarks.

Yo, Joe, it's GI Joe: Declassified from the bases of Devil's Due Publishing. Long time scribe Larry Hama comes back to work with the classic 80s troop.

It's an intergalactic battle between science and magic in the pages of Manifest Eternity from Wildstorm Comics. Welcome to the future.

Slipping from the cracks of the Image 10th Anniversary Hardcover comes Cyberforce. The origin issue breaking out the whole team raw.

In a galaxy far, far away, it's more than a hundred years since Return of the Jedi. In Dark Horse's Star Wars: Legacy. Jedi Forces hold onto hope with the last remaining heir to the Skywalker legacy. Everything you know, but nothing that you do.

 

Not everything in the Star Wars galaxy is beset by the oft-times dour battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Imperial Forces. There can be bright in the dark with cracks of funny and hijinks.

Lock up your daughters and hide the Jawas, faithful readers, because Tag and Bink are BACK!

Yea, though one might be hard-pressed to develop a sequel to the popular Tag & Bink Are Dead, fan-favorite writer Kevin Rubio and Star Wars stalwart Lucas Marangon have risen to the occasion!

And what an occasion it is. Fans jonesing for more side-splitting Star Wars shenanigans will thrill to the new misadventures of this hapless pair, members of the Rebel Alliance, who have somehow stumbled past the worst Imperial perils with their limbs intact.

In The Return of Tag & Bink-Special Edition, the duo set out to rescue a certain smuggler trapped in carbonite - with the help of Lando Calrissian! One thing leads to another, and they manage to subdue the deadliest bounty hunter in the galaxy on their way to infiltrating the Hutt palace.

Star Wars fans know what comes next, and there will be guest appearances of favorite characters on the way to the Sarlacc pit, the Death Star, and Endor! This issue will conquer the world!

The return of Tag and Bink is not unlike that of bones rising up again from the dead of night and of freshly made graves.

DC continues to prove that the dead aren't dead when you can still use their names as Blue Beetle make a return. Of sorts.

Boom! Studios continues charging out with more animated corpses as Zombie Tales: The Dead shoots another load with the walking undead.

From Alias Entertainment, Twinblades: The Killing Words. Basic plot: "Two Viking sisters fight a warlord with a weapon from another planet." Two Viking sister twins that is. And there isn't a skerrick of The Parent Trap at all within the feel of the story. Hayley Mills fans will continue to only have the Lindsay Lohan remake then.

The Spider-Man & Arana Special from Marvel Comics puts the little guyver girl up with the now seven-limbed webslinger for questions about the ongoing war between the Wasp and the Spider-Clan. People watching from the graveyard can be rest assured that there is hope she might not make it.

 

There are these people still walking wounded across pockets of buildings, work places and offices. These people may have bloodshot or crusty eyes. They might "ppsshzzaow" and "vzzmm, vzzm" at odd moments during the day. These people are the hard core Star Wars fan and their sight might be due to the effects of waiting in line on a Wednesday midnight.

Most trained well for the event. Some were caught in the rush and were let go the Force. Their members are easily split.

'Twas a night given to them to present a final chance to don Storm Trooper battle armour and Jedi cloaks outside conventions and science fiction meets. A dashing nod to walking around and facing television cameras all in the name of fun.

Alas, with no more cinematic releases or re-releases planned, it was very much their last supper.

Elsewhere, in the world of the titular counting game, George Lucas' epic space faring fantasy of the Skywalker legacy just pits behind that of J.R.R. Tolkien's. Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith climbs up the ladder with a mere 34 characters. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring fares better with a square round of 36 glyphs.
