In case you were a huge expanded universe fan, or like to know what's up in books...
Karen Traviss is leaving her latest SW book because of issues with a change in lore regarding the Mandalorians.
An excellent post from the author is below. Sounds bad. And I assume I already know the Clone Wars schism due to an episode a week or so ago. I still love the series though.

If you like anything expanded or a trivia nut, then the link it totally worth at least a skim.

Deleted Star Wars scenes (old and new)
From the site io9 these are various deleted scenes from the Star Wars movies: at least one from EACH episode (10 in all).
http://io9.com/5414704/star-wars
UPDATE: Some of the videos have been removed due to Imperial entanglements copyright issue(s). Maybe there is still an unseen gem to some, so I'll leave this up.
I also added the picture at the top - unrelated to the topic, but too darn funny to pass up.
