Movies Section Updated

Today I have loaded a Fan Film called "Duel" in the Movies Section. This film is not to be confused with another Fan Film we host also called Duel. This piece is presented more like a trailer for an upcoming film, but this is the film. It focuses on a Jedi and a pair of Sith that do battle on a remote planet. This film was created in 2003. I think the effects were very well done and the camera work is good. Be sure to go have a look!

Featured Artist Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers

Featured artist Craig Burt has agreed to work on a new section for Galactic Voyage! Periodically, he will take sketches from his paintings and art work and provide us with a look into how the picture came about. The new section will be called Painting by Numbers. Here is some of the article created by Craig:

Naboo BooBoo

This series was a long time in the making - hell, almost five years. Well sort of. That was about the time I started doing Star Wars paintings. There where suggestions made to me before this to do a segment like this, but its taken 'till now for me to do it. I've decided that since most of the work I do today is commissions for RPG websites - leaving not much new work for Galactic Voyage - that this would be a way to provide something to GV. So, weather you be interested or be bored by it, be here!

I won't be doing these segments in any sort of order, but I will start with this one for the obvious reason.

On to the painting.......

Be sure to read all about Naboo BooBoo in the Featured Artist section and a big thank you to Craig Burt for agreeing to do this special feature for Galactic Voyage! Enjoy!

Target Exclusive-Rogue Two Snowspeeder with Zev Senesca

A new snowspeeder is on the horizon and not only is it a Target exclusive, but it features Zev Senesca. This is a figure that Hasbro has not previously released!

Here is the text from the back of the package:

Saga Snow Speeder.jpg (109765 bytes)The morning Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are stranded in the middle of a Hoth blizzard, Zev departs Echo Base and embarks on a sweeping search for the Rebels. After making audio contact with Captain Solo, Zev calls back to Echo Base to announce, "I've found them!"

Sadly, Rogue TWO is shot down by enemy crossfire during the battle of Hoth, but his selfless contributions to the Rebel Alliance will never be forgotten.

This snowspeeder has an opening canopy, retractable landing gear, swiveling tail gun, and opening airbrakes. It is currently scheduled to ship to your local Target stores in July. Be on the lookout for this one! If you would like yours now, you can spend the cash over at eBay here.
