It’s been a long time since we’ve featured anything Star Wars-y in Fan Art Friday, so this week we’re spotlighting one of the franchise’s nefarious villains.

The issues starts off, as the subtitle says, with Boba Fett dead. It seems that some mysterious man wanted him dead and assembled a team to kill him. Somewhere across the galaxy on a planet called Atzerri, a young man named Connor Freeman hears the news of Boba’s death and is upset by it.

The more creative among us have taken the age-old idea of the “little green man from Mars” and expanded upon it, bringing us some pretty memorable characters who are, if not exactly environmentally conscious (or even human), quite literally the right color to represent the Earth’s cause. Here are five of my favorites.

The big geek topic of the week is the fallout surrounding Mass Effect 3′s ending. We discuss that fan movement, as well as fan disappointment for franchises in general.

Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, here are some (mostly) fan-made Valentines featuring some of your favorite characters from TV shows, movies, and video games. Some of them are even available to buy, so get a jump on next year!

Valentine’s Day is early next week, and that means it’s time for some fandom ‘shipping in Fan Art Friday! The last time I did a “Couples” feature was way back in 2009, so I think it’s time to shine the spotlight on another roundup of awesome fictional couples, as depicted by their artistic fans.

With all the myriad Star Wars books, videos, websites, and documents that have been released over the past several decades, you’d think somebody would have gotten around to making a Star Wars travel guide, right? Surprisingly, this was an untapped area of the fandom until now.

This week we talk about Doctor Who’s 2011 Christmas special, Homeland, Saints Row The Third, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

The setting, art, and story of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: War #1 make for a very fast-paced and exciting read — if you like war-ravaged craziness, with lots of explosions, that is.

If you’ve ever wanted a little bit of James Bond in your Star Wars, well, you got it. In Dark Horse’s latest Star Wars series, Agents of the Empire, spies employed by the Galactic Empire protect the peace by any means necessary.
