Disney Releases Four New Star Wars Novels

4/27/2014

If you're a stickler for 'canon' in the Star Wars Universe, prepare to be severely disappointed. According to Blastr, Disney & Lucasfilm have made two very important announcements regarding Star Wars: first, the Star Wars Expanded Universe that's been constructed for decades through comics, novels, videogames and more is officially not considered part of Star Wars continuity going forward. For now, the only canonical Star Wars stories are the original six films, the Clone Wars animation work and the already announced future projects coming from Disney and Lucasfilm, including the new J.J. Abrams films and the new animated series Star Wars: Rebels.
Second, Disney Publishing Worldwide announced a partnership with Random House-owned Del Rey Books to begin bringing all-new, in-continuity Star Wars novels to readers starting this fall. The company announced four new titles that will hit bookstores between September 2014 and March 2015, and also unveiled plans to keep all previous Expanded Universe novels in print, re-branded as "Star Wars Legends" titles. The four books are: 'A New Dawn', by John Jackson Miller; Tarkin by James Lucieno; Heir to the Jedi by Kevin Hearne; and Lords of the Sith by Paul S. Kemp.

The Burbage Theatre Company Presents Doctor Cerberus by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Directed by Alex Duckworth. The play will be performed at The Artist's Exchange, 50 Rolfe Square, Cranston, R.I.
Here's a synopsis from their press release:
"Franklin Robertson is enduring the most terrifying, horrific episode of his life: high school. Along with the struggles of coming of age in the 1980’s, Franklin must conquer his own family demons while trying to write his own macabre tales of suspense. His only solace? A campy horror film program known as “Nightmare Theatre”, hosted by Dr. Cerberus. Surrounded by evil jocks, overbearing parents and the temptations of confusing hormones, Franklin survives these torments by disappearing into the realm of his fantasies. Burbage Theatre Company is proud to present Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s irreverent celebration of cult horror films and the growing pains of our awkward teenage years. Funny and unexpectedly sweet, Dr. Cerberus is a tragicomic exploration of how an overactive imagination is sometimes the sweetest refuge."

Ocean Discovery On Enceladus

Source: Space.com
Astronomers are hoping that the existence of a subsurface ocean on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus will build momentum for life-hunting missions to the outer solar system.

Researchers announced their discovery of the deep watery ocean on Enceladus on Thursday, April 3, 2014, in the journal Science, confirming suspicions held by many scientists since 2005, when NASA's Cassini spacecraft spied geysers of ice and water vapor erupting from Enceladus' south pole.

The discovery vaults Enceladus into the top tier of life-hosting candidates along with Europa, an ice-sheathed moon of Jupiter that also hosts a subterranean ocean. Both frigid satellites bear much closer investigation, researchers say.
