    This week was pretty slow in terms of Star Wars news but we still managed to gather some interesting tidbits worth your time. A new photo shows a closer looks at the First Order LEGO BB unit from The Last Jedi; Star Wars: Battlefront II is coming to Disney's D23 Expo and will feature a new content; The reason for Carrie Fisher's death has been revealed; Mark Hamill addresses his controversial comments about Rian Johnson's approach to Luke in The Last Jedi and more.









    Probably the most interesting news from this week was the multiple photos of crew t-shirts from the Han Solo spin-off movie, that look really cool and that's pretty much all about them. They surely don't reveal the title of the movie as some sites claimed. It's just a placeholder name.












    The guys from LaFosaDelRancor found out even more tees from the movie:

    And our friend @yeahclarke found yet another:














    A member on Reddit posted a closer look at the First Order BB Unit from The Last Jedi in LEGO form.

    You probably recall another LEGO leak from a few weeks ago which gave us a look at the First Order Heavy Walkers, the Resistance Bomber and Snoke (images are now removed).

    Disney has announced that Battlefront II will take the center stage on Saturday, July 15 at this year's D23 event:





    Speaking of Battlefront II, here are a few other interesting tweets:


























    During the Tony Awards Variety caught up with Mark Hamill, who explained what exactly he meant by his words from a few weeks ago that he was concerned about the direction Luke was going in The Last Jedi.










    The Tony Awards also reunited a father and a son! :)










    Hamill also showed his respect to the legend Adam West:










    The rising young star Jacob Tremblay met Hamill at the LA Film Festival and chatted with him. Keep in mind that Tremblay is Colin Trevorrow's lucky charm actor and it's very likely to see him in Episode IX.










    Mark Hamill also paid tribute to Carrie Fisher at the Tony Awards:












    Also the cause of Carrie Fisher's death has been revealed by the LA coroner. From EW:

    After the coroner's statement, daughter Billie Lourd said the following (via People):





    Also a few days ago, Carrie's brother Todd showed her home for the first time to Good Morning America:












    The Star Wars Show posted two extended interviews this week.



    Extended interview with Timothy Zahn:












    Extended interview with Battlefront II's Janina Gavankar:












    Extended interview with LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures' Eugene Byrd:












    R2-D2 and BB-8 show off in StarWars.com's latest 'Blips' video:
















    And now some self explanatory tweets:



























    And finally some interesting clarifications from Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo and Matt Martin.



    First here's an important info from Matt how to read the Star Wars crossover comics, since it's a bit confusing to many readers:
