News: - Charles Soule, in a social-media posting, says he spoke about "The Broken Blade" mini-series with Lucasfilm in February, noting he's got a lot on his plate at the moment. Yet, adds that "it's more likely than it's been. A lot of this is deciding how I tell the story -- that will factor into when I tell it."
