Star Wars Galaxies-Path to the Force-Episode 154

Be sure to join us next week for the one-hundredth and fifty-fifth episode of Star Wars Galaxies-Path to the Force. Then join us every week as we continue to follow the adventures of the Wookiee E'nac from the Star Wars Galaxies videogame in the form of Gamics!

The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi -- and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

• During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice.
• Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice's four core Force powers -- Force push, grip, repulse and lightning -- throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
• Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible: The Secret Apprentice won't just Force push enemies into walls -- he'll Force push enemies through walls; The Secret Apprentice won't just Force grip foes to throw them aside -- he'll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
• In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
• Visit locations such as Episode III's Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
• Decisions made by players throughout the game will determine the path of the story, including multiple endings that will rock Star Wars continuity as they know it.
• The Force Unleashed is LucasArts' first internally developed title for next-generation consoles, and it represents the first in-game collaboration of talents and technology between LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic, two companies now finally under one roof at the new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco's Presidio district.
• The Force Unleashed debuts Digital Molecular Matter from Pixelux and euphoria behavioral simulation from NaturalMotion Ltd.
• LucasArts is preparing an unprecedented promotional effort around the launch of The Force Unleashed, encompassing a full line of toys and game-based action figures from Hasbro, as well as a full publishing program from Dark Horse, Del Rey and Palace Press.

Be sure to visit the newly released The Force Unleashed Official Website for great picture and some cool things to come in the near future. Also, incase you missed our article on July 25, 2006 that has a video clip from the game, I have decided to show it again here. Enjoy!

"Blond Bombshells"

This painting - Blond Bombshells - is one of the simplified style of the early days, and, I'm not sure if that makes a bad painting or just a different styled one. It is a scene of Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting in the arena on Geonosis from Attack of the Clones.

1. Must be the start of the process, because, looking through the files I can't find any image that jolts my memory as a starting point. There are just the two sketches to the final design. The only main change from sketch one to two is the position of Obi-Wan's hands. I moved them to a more central position to help give the impression that they are almost fighting against each other as their enemy.

Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Blond Bombshells" in the Painting by Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this image came about! Enjoy!

Those who enter the Star Wars Fan Film competition and are chosen as finalists will find themselves, and their short movies, in the spotlight. All finalists in the competition will be played at Star Wars Celebration IV in a dedicated track each day of the show. What's more, the best movies of the competition will be recognized at the Sixth Annual Star Wars Fan Film Award Ceremony, scheduled for Sunday, May 27. Always memorable, often full of surprises, the ceremony will honor the top movies of the competition, and feature presenters from the industry, including representatives from Lucasfilm.

Get shooting! In honor of the 30th Anniversary year of the Star Wars saga, the Fan Film Awards are expanding their guidelines to take in more types of movies than before. In the past, entrants could submit spoofs, parodies, documentaries, and experimental Star Wars movies. The 2007 Awards plan to accept more types of movies, so stay tuned to starwars.com for details on entry guidelines and where to submit.

This one is near and dear to me because it is me! Craig had mentioned to me several weeks ago that he had created a painting that featured himself and Vader. (the former webmaster of the now closed Alderaan Online) He offered to do the same for me and gave me a clean canvas in which to create my world.

I decided on one of my most memorable moments from Star Wars, the invasion on the Tantive IV from Star Wars: A New Hope. I thought that I could be the Sith Lord who was taking over the ship, but in order to do that instead of Darth Vader it would need to be more of an alternate universe.

I asked Craig to create the stormtroopers in the Ralph McQuarrie style with shields and lightsabers. I also specifically asked to be stabbing a Rebel trooper with my lightsaber as I used the Force to choke down another.

I must say that Craig's ability to take some words from an e-mail and create them on paper like he did is just phenomenal! He had all the elements I had asked for and had envisioned in my mind. The detail is spectacular and I can't thank him enough for the opportunity to see myself in the Star Wars universe. Thanks a million Craig!

I hope you will enjoy this piece as much as I do. At least you get to see me, even if I am a little mad while reeking havoc!

Also, be sure to see the rest of Craig's outstanding work in the Craig Burt's Paintings section, see a breakdown of paintings like these in the popular Painting by Numbers section, and also Craig Burt's Cartoons! You can also find other great work by other artists in the Featured Artists section. Enjoy!

This is just a quick note to let you know that the latest production update has been added. This update includes photos of the proof versions of the dust jacket and printed slipcase for the trade edition as well as the first look at a sample of the presentation box for the lettered edition.

In case you missed it, we've also included a link to the very nice article that ran on starwars.com last week. It's definitely worth checking out as it not only contains a few more sample pages from the book, we go into a little more detail about some of the content we have not previously discussed. As you might expect we received quite a few pre-orders in the wake of the article, and as a result we're down to our last few copies of the signed lettered edition. If you're considering ordering this edition, I strongly encourage you to act fast to avoid disappointment.

It's hard for us to believe it's mid-February; the good news is we're that much closer to holding the finished book in our hands. Thanks for your continued interest and support of The Art of Ralph McQuarrie.
