Valentine E-Cards

have to do with Valentine's Day? Everything if you are in the Star
Wars universe. These seven e-cards scratch below the surface of
the saga to reveal great messages of friendship and affection for
Valentine's Day. In case you want something more traditional, there
are a few mushy messages, too. Some have sound, so turn up your
speakers! Click

What Was The
First Star Wars Toy...
Padawans have written so much about their favorite Star Wars
books and toys on the Books & Toys Viewscreen, but we've never
asked you to tell us about the first Star Wars toy you ever
got. Now's your chance. What was it? How did it make you feel? How
many toys do you have now? Click

Meet
"America's Best Young Star Wars Collector"
"...The best collection is the one which makes an improvement
in your life. A collection which brings you closer to your dad. It's
not all about me having this figure or that vehicle. It's all about
the fun times, the sharing, the accomplishments, the hunt, and the
memories you get from your collection. This is what I believe makes
my collection the best." ~13-year-old Andrew, winner of
Hasbro's recent "Best Young Star Wars Collector"
contest. In this Valentine issue of the Padawan Post, Andrew shares
his love of collecting. Click

Slider
Puzzles: Love, Star Wars Style
Dug Love. Is this the face only a mother could love? Possibly. But
regardless of his distinctive physical characteristics -
"arms" that used to be his back limbs, "legs"
that used to be his front limbs, a tight leather racing suit
decorated with trophy coins, and beaded danglers that hang from his
snout - Sebulba is impossible to love because of his distinctive
mental characteristics. As an extremely competitive Podracer, he is
crafty, vicious, murderous, aggressive and arrogant. In short,
Sebulba is a creature that only Sebulba can love. Click
here to play with him and other characters in this new batch of
slider puzzles made specially for Valentine's Day.

Highlight ~ The "I Love You" Lines
Moments before Han Solo was encased in carbonite Leia said "I
love you," and Han's response became famous. Some people just
can't express their feelings very well. This Valentine's Day,
whether you are more like Leia or more like Han, you'll enjoy
reading about the making of this memorable Star Wars scene.
It is recommended that you also forward it to your Valentine. Click
here for some Star Wars history.
On-Going ~ Padawan
of the Week
Each week one StarWarsKids.com Padawan is honored as the
"Padawan of the Week" for their participation in the
Viewscreen communities. The Viewscreens are kid-safe message boards
where participants discuss all aspects of Star Wars. These
Padawans are especially recognized for their interesting Star
Wars questions and comments, their friendly debate skill, and
their welcoming spirit to all new participants. The Padawan Post is
proud to highlight the recent honorees:
February 6, from the Saga Talk Viewscreen: "Consideringthat
he [Vader] saved his son, destroyed the Emperor and thus the Sith, I
say that deep down the real Anakin from Tatooine never really
turned. His corruption was only skin-deep."
~ Padawan Obi-Wan's Ultimate Fan!
January 30, from the Padawan Viewscreen: "One of the
things I like about Star Wars and StarWarsKids.com is u get
recognized and u have power. Being a kid, you usually don't."
