Today I have updated the Ships Section with the MT-AT. You can get a listing of ships and vehicles using their picture by type at the Ships Section. Or, if you would like to see an alphabetical listing of all of our ships and vehicles, you can check out the Ship Index. If you have a ship you would like to see me add, then e-mail me the request and I will do my best to add it for you. Enjoy!

Guy Lagacé's Climactic Battlescenes

Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's Climactic Battlescenes with another of his scenes. This was the fourteenth in the series for this section. Remember that these images were his vision of scenes from movies that had not been created. This image was Guy's take on the battle between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett for Episode II as young Boba looked on from the cockpit of Slave 1. This whole scene is amazing considering at that time there was little to no information about Episode II, yet Guy created such a great piece that was so close to the final movie product. Be sure to also see other great artists in the Featured Artists section. Enjoy!

Galaxiki

This is not Star Wars, but if you like space, then you might want to check it out! Galaxiki is a web-based, free content virtual community project. It consists of a virtual galaxy with over a million stars and solar systems that can be explored using a 2-dimensional map. Each star, each planet and each moon represents one wiki page, the idea behind the project is that Galaxiki site members, also called "Galaxicians", can edit those pages and write fictional histories about them.

Galaxiki membership, editing solar systems and using all other site features is free. Galaxiki was launched as a prototype on March 12, the official launch is planned for Sunday, July 1st 2007. It is already possible to sign up on www.galaxiki.org, although editing stars, planets and moons will become operational on July 1st 2007. Special thanks goes to Jos Kirps for letting us know about this interesting new site. Be sure to visit the Galaxiki website at: http://www.galaxiki.org.

Exclusive Shadow Scout With Speeder Bike

StarWarsShop.com has the latest San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. It is the Shadow Scout with Speeder Bike!

Shadow Scout with Speeder Bike.jpg (50062 bytes)"Shadow scout troopers (a.k.a. storm commandos) are trained for missions of deep infiltration," reads the full-view window-box packaging. "They uncover plots hatched by shadows in dark corners, and they dig up deadly secrets that can be used to make enemies cooperate. Their speeder bikes are designed for silence and speed, with a trideflective enery shield that prevents detection."

In addition to the stealthy gray and black duotone deco of both the scout and bike, the packaging for this piece is very collector friendly -- views from all four sides and above will temp you to keep it in the box forever. Be sure to go and get yours today before they are gone!

Featured Artist Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers 31

Featured Artist Craig Burt has provided us with a breakdown of one of his paintings that provides us with a look into how the picture came about.

2Jedi Councilling progressive.jpg (174581 bytes)
"Jedi Councilling"

Here is some of the article created by Craig:

This Jedi Councilling is another of the more stylized treatments; not as realistic as some.

1. This is the photo that it was based on and follows it fairly closely. I think it's a photo from a magazine called The Bulletin that I often read; actually it might be from the Newsweek supplement from that. From what it says under the photo it's an event where Palestinians defend al-Aqsa mosque against Israeli riot Police after a rally by extremist Jews.
 

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