Star Wars Gamers Help Needed

If you play Star Wars games, then I could use your help! I am trying to gather a collection of in game movies also referred to as cut scenes from all the Star Wars games for use here at Galactic Voyage. If you have these files in a useable format like AVI, MOV, MPEG, etc. please send them in! If you know how to get these video files out of the games and convert them, then please contact me with instructions on how to do so. I know it can be done because you see them all the time at YouTube. Thanks for your help!

Celebration IV Breaks Records

The Official Star Wars Site has stated that more than 35,000 individuals attended Star Wars Celebration IV between May 23 and 28 in the Los Angeles Convention Center. Celebration IV drew Star Wars fans from all over the world to celebrate 30 years of the saga over the Memorial Day Weekend. In the midst of all the fun, the event broke attendance records from the past Celebrations, even the vastly-popular Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis in 2005.

"The success of Celebration IV is testament not only to the enthusiasm and creativity of fans and the hard work by folks at Lucasfilm and Gen Con, but also proof of the strength of Star Wars," says Steve Sansweet, head of fan relations at Lucasfilm, and co-producer of Celebration IV. "The reaction to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars panel and trailer, the popularity of the LucasArts booth and The Force Unleashed panels, and the obvious increase in attendance among young fans and families, speaks to the rock-solid future of Star Wars."

Guy Lagacé's Climactic Battlescenes

Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's Climactic Battlescenes with another of his scenes. This was the thirteenth in the series for this section. Remember that these images were his vision of scenes from movies that had not been created. I believe this image was created before Episode II. Be sure to also see other great artists in the Featured Artists section. Enjoy!

New Writers For The Star Wars Live Action Series

TMZ.com has a spy report informing us that the Star Wars camp is in Santa Monica interviewing writers for their upcoming live action Star Wars TV movies. Some of the writers already under consideration have written for "Lost" and "Heroes."

The show will cover the 19-year span between "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" and "Star Wars: A New Hope." The new show will focus on minor characters in the Star Wars universe, so don't expect them to focus on the Luke Skywalker storyline.

I don't know about you, but I am ready to start getting my dose of new Star Wars! Come on Clone Wars and live action show!
