Today's new video clip is another
preview for Episode 11 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 5 entitled "A Sunny
Day in the Void." After a comet damages their shuttle, R2-D2, Colonel Gascon,
and the other droids crash on a desolate planet where they must make their way
across a bewildering expanse of emptiness to carry out their mission. After A
Sunny Day in the Void, the series will return with all new episodes starting on
January 5, 2013. I hate the long break. Enjoy!

Disney Cleared To
Purchase Lucasfilm |
The Huffington Post has announced that Federal antitrust
regulators have cleared Disney's $4 billion deal to buy Lucasfilm, the
filmmaking empire behind the "Star Wars" franchise.
Notice of the
clearance was issued Tuesday.
Representatives for The Walt Disney Co. and
Lucasfilm Ltd. did not immediately respond to requests for comment. When the
deal was announced in October, no formal closing date was announced.
The
purchase stoked "Star Wars" fans because along with the surprise announcement,
Disney said it would make sequels to the six-part series with plans to release
the first in the next trilogy, Episode 7, in 2015.
Lucasfilm founder
George Lucas is to receive about half of the $4.05 billion purchase price in
cash and half in newly issued Disney shares. He has said he'd donate much of it
to charity.

George Lucas'
Involvement In Episode VII |
Access Hollywood has an
article where they caught up with George Lucas and asked him some questions.
When asked about Episode VII, George answered: “[If the filmmakers ask],‘Who’s
this guy?’ I can tell them,” he told Access at the event in Los Angeles. “I
mean, they have a hundred encyclopedias and things, but I actually know a lot. I
can say, ‘This is this and this is that.’”
But answering questions about the more remote
characters of his beloved galaxy may be where George’s involvement ends.
“Basically I’m not — I don’t really have much to do,” he said. Be sure to read the entire article.
