In movie news this week, the 1988 film Willow was released in blu-ray for the first time. The film stars Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer, was directed by Ron Howard, and based on a story by George Lucas. If you look closely while watching the film, you might also spot Kenny Baker (R2-D2) as a Nelwyn musician.

Kick-Ass 2 has a red band trailer out now courtesy of MTV. The release date is now set for August 16th.

In related television news, fans who were eager to see Star Wars Detours may have been let down by the recent announcement that the show was being put on hold, but there is some hope that we may see it yet.

There’s also some very positive news from Tvline regarding Dave Filoni and the future of Star Wars…

In book news, Kevin J. Anderson and zombie fans who have not checked out Death Warmed Over can now do so for just $1.99. This is a steal of a deal for a very fun book. I highly recommend checking it out.
