Galactic Voyage has selected the next "Site of the Month" winner! The winner for April, 2004 is Just Jedi! Congratulations! I want to say thank you to all who applied. Don't worry if you were not chosen this month. Once you have applied, you will always be in the running!

Just Jedi is a really nice website that has a wealth of knowledge about the Jedi. There is information about the Jedi characters, the Force, Lightsabers, and more!. There are also wallpapers, a guestbook, and links. It may not be a mega-site, but it is very well done and I would recommend a visit today.

If you would like to submit your site to be in the running for May, then apply here to be "Site of the Month!"

The Official Star Wars site has made it's third Episode III webdoc available to non-Hyperspace members.

Though the new Star Wars trilogy is filled end-to-end with cutting edge digital filmmaking techniques and computer-generated visual effects, there are still times when you need to roll up your sleeves and do things the old fashioned way.

The Official Star Wars Site has announced a new Clone Wars book that will be released this Fall. While the Clone Wars wreak havoc throughout the galaxy, the situation on the far world of Drongar is desperate as Republic forces engage in a fierce fight with the Separatists.

Despite the all-enveloping armor and superior genetic pedigree, the soldiers of the Republic are still flesh and blood. In the steaming jungles of Jasserak, the doctors and nurses of a small med unit are devoted to patching together the beleaguered troops of the Republic.

This eccentric lot of surgeons is overworked, and even the Jedi healing abilities of Padawan Barriss Offee are tested to the limits. The conflict and casualties continue to grow, and an unthinkable option becomes the inevitable solution to this terrible problem.

Star Wars MedStar II: Jedi Healer is the second book of the MedStar duology, following Battle Surgeons. This Clone Wars novel is written by Michael Reaves (author of Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter) and Steve Perry (author of Shadows of the Empire), and features cover art by Dave Seeley.

This book is scheduled for paperback release in October 2004 from Del Rey Books.
