Christopher Lee
To Voice Count Dooku In The Clone Wars |
The Official
Christopher Lee Website has a conversation going on in their forums that
gives us great news!
"I was wondering if anyone knows if Lucasfilm contacted Christopher Lee
about voicing Count Dooku? I know Corey Burton did the voice for the TV series
and the video games (couldn't hold a candle to CL's voice though) but I thought
they might ask him back for another big-screen outing."
Their Administrator answered with the following:
"Mr. Lee has recorded the voice of Count Dooku for this movie a couple of
months ago. It was however, the first time he had to lip synch to a character
because they had produced the animation before recording his voice."
Fantastic! This movie is really shaping up. Be sure to go see for yourself! |

LucasArts Having
Trouble |
Well, it was a busy week last week
for LucasArts. Kotaku.com and Shacknews.com have articles
about the companies woes. The reports are that the number of staff affected is
around 100, and that the cuts actually began on Wednesday, and continued through
into Thursday. Games in the works that may be affected, cancelled, and or
outsourced are:
- KOTOR 3 (They say it's an MMO: most likely a joint project between
Lucasarts and BioWare) - Battlefront 3 - "The Official Indiana Jones" game
(The one that will use TFU technology) - "another LEGO game based on the Indy
universe" - "a lightsaber game for the wii (sorry, no lightsaber
peripherals)"
Some of these layoffs were near the top and known names in the company. We
will keep you updated with more news as it develops. |

Growing Up Star
Wars |
It was a great time to grow up
with Star Wars in the late 70's and early 80's. Many of us 30 and 40 something's
were "latch key" kids growing up with one parent and they were at work
supporting the family. Star Wars was a great fantasy escape from the realities
of life and as these pictures show, it sure brings back memories for me. See
what it was like to be growing up during that time before Beta, VHS, DVD, etc.
when the only way to see Star Wars was at the theaters.
