In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

LEGO Star Wars will have a Halloween special which looks like it will include some evil "What if..?" scenarios, like... What if Luke HAD joined the Imperial Academy". (And lo, several thousand terabytes of fanart of Sith Luke is justified)We have a new teaser trailer for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds which includes a list of characters, some of whom are new, some of whom are delightfully familiar (and ye gods, I have to respect the courage to must have taken to agree to fill some of these shoes!)
And Star Trek:Picard has a trailer too!
