Sam Witwer
Possibly In Live-Action Series? |
Sam Witwer was interviewed in the
last On-line Supplement for the Star Wars Insider that is available for
Hyperspace members. Sam is the actor who was used for Darth Vader's secret
apprentice that will be in the new upcoming The Force Unleashed video game in
2008. In the interview he talked a lot about the game and his roll in it. Also,
how the story arc will forever change our view of some of the characters found
in the original trilogy. The game is set between episode III & IV, so there
could be an opportunity for Sam to be in the Live-Action television series that
will be set during that same time period.
WizardUniverse.com has an article with Sam and in it the
following question and answer could prove to further my theory.
Are you interested in a role on the Star Wars TV
show?
WITWER: Anything is possible. While doing the Secret
Apprentice, I got a little ambitious and managed to pull out something cool, but
I cant even hint at what that is. Theres going to be a very cool announcement
made in the next few months.
I definitely look forward to the next few months because we will finally
start getting better information about The Force Unleashed, the 3D Clone Wars
cartoon, and the Live-Action TV series. 2008 will be a great year for Star
Wars! |

Images Section
Completely Restructured |
To close out our month long
celebration of Galactic Voyage's 8th Anniversary, I have completely restructured
the Images Section. You will
now find a new gallery that will not only include the pictures we have had, but
the ability to offer you lots of different and new categories of pictures. Some
sections still do not have pictures yet, but the will be coming soon.
Several images that were from the movies and were previously available are
not in the gallery because I will soon be providing better quality captures from
the movies. The 3D Clone Wars images are there as well, and I have added some
new High-Res pictures to get you started with new content! Be sure to check out
the new Images Section
today! |

Cut Scenes
Section Moved |
Today I have completed the move of
the Cut Scenes Section from the

pictures, but now includes details of some of the scenes. This section will
continue to expand to bring you information about what scenes were cut from the
Star Wars movies. |

Movies Section
Updated |
Today I have updated the Movies Section with the Fan Film entitled
Troops.
The Granddaddy of Star Wars fan films, Troops made its debut on the Internet in
1997. The film is a parody of COPS, set in the Star Wars universe. In the film,
Imperial stormtroopers from the infamous Black Sheep Squadron patrolling the
Dune Sea on the planet Tatooine run into some very familiar characters while
being filmed for the hit Imperial TV show Troops.
The film jump-started
the modern fan film movement, as it was one of the first short films to bring
fan films into the digital age. It was originally broken into several parts
because the technology of the time provided slow download
capability.
The film was awarded the inaugural Pioneer Award in the
Lucasfilm-sponsored 2002 Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards. Enjoy!

Star Wars
Galaxies Celebrates Life Day |
Star Wars
Galaxies has announced they will be celebrating Life Day this year.
What is Wookiee Life Day?
You would have to be an older Star Wars fan to have seen the Star Wars Holiday Special that aired on CBS during the Christmas
Holiday season in 1978 and was the only time it was ever shown. You can download the show here.
Traditionally observed on the Wookiee home world Kashyyyk, Life Day is a time
to reflect on the renewal of life and to remember those who have passed on.
Wookiees will often brave adverse conditions to make it home for this holiday
as it is an important time for family bonding and thankfulness. Even the
Imperial blockade that is stationed around their enslaved home world can not
keep Wookiees from recognizing this most important day.
This year, under the watchful eye of the Empire, Wookiee elders have granted
Queen Kylantha and the city of Theed a Tree of Life as a gesture of goodwill.
The time-honored Wroshyr Tree can also be found in Kachirho, Kashyyyk. Under the
branches you will find festivities to truly celebrate this joyful season.
The Life Day celebration begins December 12, so be sure to read all about it!
