I love that PAD is giving some of the most hardcore fans a story we've been dying for before he signs off. You're right, who knows what Ric and Star will get in the future...but you know, it seem they're dropped for however long by Marvel, but always picked up again by writers that love them eventually. I've resigned myself to a good long wait, filled with either no sightings or crap sightings involving gay jokes, but these two have proven themselves too cool to be abandoned entirely.
(Also, I'm intrigued by the X-Force movie rumors. Probably it'll be Wolverine and Psylocke, but who knows--we might get at least a cameo or minor role, especially considering our pair specializes in violence which fits the X-Force theme).
I totally agree. But the guys who bankroll the project will want Wolvie front and center, no doubt. If we get a good backup cast, it might still be cool.
And on Star, you never know. Especially since Marvel is going into space with “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and Star is an alien; he could be used to tie things together, or just bring the cast into Mojo’s tournament rings. Hollywood loves tournament fighting movies.
Since Darwin was in X-Men First Class (being treated appallingly of course, don't get me started) I've had a wistful headcanon that Ric and 'Star would have been really fun and cool to have in a sequel if they got reinvented as bratty younger versions of their X-Factor selves, young recruits getting into fights and snarking and bromancing together. Never happen, but a fan can dream.
I'm telling you, if there's no PDA or even plain old DA in this issue, I'mma flip some tables. Seriously. Issue #207 was a damn long time ago and they're on their way out of the book so dammit PAD, give the people what they want!
But yes, the cover is awesome. I love the 'old school Star Wars' type layout with all the epic cameo faces and technicolour. It's lovely.
I was assuming the oldest secret was definitely the whole 'Star-Longshot mystery. Gahh. I'm almost dreading the reveal here. We'll be able to hear a million headcanons exploding in the distance.
But then I thought oh God, if he's in the rebels he's probably mind-wiped or something so he doesn't remember anything about X-Factor and thinks it's the 90s... Actually, that could be awesome (so long as he gets his memories back halfway through!)
Oh, I just thought of something else I want in this issue. Gratuitous 'Star quoting movie lines :)

(Also, looking at his schedule again, how awesome is it that there's going to be a Multiple Man gathering on the Thursday? Someone better get photos!)
