Daily Video Clip
#2 |
Today's second new video clip in
the Movies Section is the Fan Film entitled Ryan Vs Brandon 2.
Ryan Vs. Brandon 2 was released to the Internet on January 28, 2011 and is
the sequel to Ryan Vs. Brandon. It again features good and evil and is set in an
industrial setting instead of outdoors as was displayed in the first film. The
film showcases great lightsaber action, and special effects. The first film did
not end well for Ryan. Will he redeem himself? You must watch and see!

Films section. You can find additional Fan Films in the Other Star Wars Fan Films section.

Animating a
Walking Carpet |
The Official Star Wars Site has
provided an article that talks about Peter Mayhew working with Dave Filoni to
have Chewbacca make an appearance in The Clone Wars.
"The Chewbacca sounds were sourced from the same bank as the original films,
but Dave Filoni and Matt Wood thought it would be nice to get a small sample of
my voice mixed in," says Mayhew. "This goes back to everyone at Lucasfilm
feeling that they needed me to portray the character in every way possible.
After so many years of being asked to do the growl for fans, I've found that I'm
actually quite good at it. I'm absolutely thrilled to be part of the series. The
animation is amazing, and they really captured the essence of Chewie. As soon as
I saw it I said 'that's it. He's there. That's Chewbacca.'"

Shadow Games
|
The Official Star Wars Site has
provided a first look at the cover art to Shadow Games, a new Star
Wars paperback novel by Michael Reaves and and Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff,
scheduled for release this October from Del Rey Books. The cover art is by Scott
Biel.
Javul Charn is the most famous pop star in the galaxy -- and the runaway
bride of a violent lieutenant in Black Sun, the crime syndicate commanded by
Prince Xizor. Or so Javul says. Soon after Dash Rendar, broke and desperate,
agrees to be Javul's bodyguard, he realizes that openness is not her strong suit
-- and that murder is stalking her tour.
Between the discovery of dead bodies in a cargo hold and an attack by an
unidentified warship, Dash and co-pilot Eaden Vrill desperately try to
understand who is terrorizing Javul's tour and why. When Han Solo suddenly joins
Javul's road show, the stakes are raised even higher. Now Dash, who has a
history with Han and an even worse history with Prince Xizor, follows his
instincts, his discoveries, and Javul herself -- straight into a world that may
be too dangerous to survive!
