Today's new video clip in the Movies Section
is from one of your favorite Star Wars video games! The latest scene

AVI, MOV, etc. format, please send it in! Enjoy!
Videogamer.com has an
interview with Cameron Suey, a producer for the upcoming Star Wars Game The Force
Unleashed. In the interview, they discuss why the PC version of the game will
not be released. What about the future of Star Wars games on PC? Several games
have not made it to PC, so are Star Wars games only going to be on consoles from
here on out? Cameron says no. Here is a question and response that keeps the PC
door open:
VideoGamer.com: Do you guys have any message to your PC-owning fans,
because you guys have a heritage on PC?
CS: Absolutely. We started on the PC. Unfortunately that goes back to
the point of such a variance of the platform. There wasn't such a variance at
that time and it made a lot more sense to develop on PC. The message is that
we're not shutting the door on PC at all. Just for this project it happens to be
that we don't have a PC SKU. I really hope that everyone can experience this
game on a platform eventually.
Gerald sent me a video greeting from the trip he had to Poland on May 10th
for "Star Wars Mayday." We reported about the event the Star Wars Fan
Club of Bydgoszcz was hosting originally on May 1, 2008. Thanks Gerald!
Topps will have The Clone Wars trading card set in stores July 26th 2008. Featured
Artist and good friend Kevin
Graham will be doing 250 of The Clone Wars Sketch Cards and some will be
chosen for the set. Some will be his animation cells and the rest will be
directly on the cards. Although it’s a cartoon, he will be drawing some
characters a bit like they were used in the regular movies. I am sure these
cards will be fantastic and I have provided an example card of his work. Be sure
to pick up that Clone Wars set!
Today
is my birthday and it also just happens to be on the same day as George Lucas!
No wonder I am a Star Wars fan! Happy Birthday to George who turns 64 while I am
knocking at the door of middle age at 39. It sure is nice of George to give me The
Clone Wars as a belated birthday present!
Today's new video clip is an animated tribute for the 25th Anniversary of
Return of the Jedi featuring Star Wars action figures. Mr. Gerald Home
(Tessek/Mon Cal Officer) e-mailed me stating that Paul Rowley and John Collier
have given us their permission to provide you with this film. I can't imagine
the amount of time spent on this! Enjoy!
Today I have updated the Music section
with a new soundtrack! The latest addition is from the video
game Knights
of the Old Republic which features 49 tracks. Enjoy!
Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's ProbeShots
with another of his scenes. This is the sixth image for this

the Clones. Remember that these images were his vision of scenes
from movies that had not been created. Be sure to also see other
great artists in the Featured
Artists section. Enjoy!

RebelScum has the
latest information on eFX and how they will be different from Master Replicas.
Here's what eFX has to say :
"As many of you know, we had originally announced that the pre-order day
for our very first product, the Stormtrooper Helmet, was to be on May 5, 2008.
However, since eFX is a brand new company, we are going to initiate many new
groundbreaking ideas that some many even consider "sacrilege" since
they will break some old "traditions". We have decided to scratch the
whole pre-order process and establish a WORLDWIDE on-sale date when the product
will be available the same day whether you are on Los Angeles, Tokyo or London!
We will try to announce the availability date at least 30 days in advance. We
think that our collectors will appreciate and like this new process."
Be able to see images of the actual product before you purchase
Allows you to better plan your finances since you will know exactly
when your credit card will be charged
Eliminates the frustration of waiting an uncertain amount of time
before you actually receive your product.
Other products that are on the horizon for eFX include:
Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader helmet
Episode 2 Clone Trooper helmet
Episode 4 Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber
Red 5 X-Wing Fighter
This seems like a fair way to do things. Fans will just really need to be
ready for what it is they want to get their hands on.
Mark, our good friend and affiliate from Lightsabre
has informed us of his latest installment of interviews. The latest
addition is with Angus Macinnes, Gold Leader from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Be sure to head over and check it out!
