This week we got new trailers from New York Comic Con, a young girl wants to be the first person on Mars, superheroes stormed your TV screen and the return of Darth Vader was announced. Check out what you missed this week!
1. You voted for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies posters. Here’s what you got!
Fans looking forward to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies have been voting over Twitter to see which character poster they want to see next. It seems like everyone is into elves. This week we got posters for both Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Legolas was apparently the closest vote of all! Head over to @TheHobbitMovie to vote for the next one!

2. Big Hero 6 teaser video from New York Comic Con
Didn’t make it to New York Comic Con this year? Never fear. Two great videos were released for fans. The first one is the teaser for Big Hero 6. This is the latest Disney animation film, and the first to be based on a Marvel comic book. Don’t worry. You don’t have to go out and read it. The similarity is mostly in the names. We’ve seen footage and you’re going to fall in love with the squishy robot Baymax.

5. Darth Vader to appear on Star Wars Rebels
"Star Wars Rebels" debuted on Disney XD on October 3rd, but there was something very important missing. This week we learned that ABC will air the one-hour season premiere with a special scene featuring Darth Vader himself! The show will air on ABC on Sunday, October 26th. Is anyone else excited?

8. 13-year-old Alyssa Carson from Baton Rouge, Louisiana is training to be the first person on Mars. NASA is totally on board with her plan, even giving her the NASA call sign “Blueberry.” Alyssa is studying science, a number of languages and she’s the first person to attend all of NASA’s world space camps. She said she wants to be the first and even has her own blog where she talks about the experience. You can follow her on Twitter @NASABlueberry1.
