Don't Forget Clone Wars |
Tonight marks the launch of the second season of the Star Wars:
Clone Wars micro-series. The action-packed first season was a smash
hit with viewers and critics alike last fall. The Cartoon Network
was the place to catch it on TV, but for the ultimate online
presentation of the series, you had to go to starwars.com
Hyperspace. Tonight, the Cartoon Network in the U.S. will start the
second season at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. The network will broadcast
subsequent chapters on consecutive weekdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
A few minutes after its Cartoon Network broadcast, each chapter will
appear on Hyperspace for members around the globe in large,
high-quality QuickTime format. If the Cartoon Network is not
available where you live, then Hyperspace is the place to watch this
new season.
Members can also watch each chapter with a Hyperspace-exclusive
DVD-style audio commentary by Genndy Tartakovsky, where the series
creator talks about the behind-the-scenes details Star Wars fans
crave... everything from techniques, motivation, hard-to-spot
details, and instructions from Lucasfilm on things to avoid and
things that might connect to Episode III.
So be sure to tune in tonight for another great season of the Clone
Wars!

Star Wars FX Jacket - A
New Hope |
Master
Replicas has a cool new Star Wars jacket for you to purchase,
but it does not come cheap priced at $349 plus S&H. It's
the ultimate collectible high-tech gear!
The
epic battle scene from Star Wars: A New Hope is recreated in rich,
colorful embroidery on the back of a letterman-style jacket. A
flexible fiber optic screen woven into the fabric electronically
animates the scene using a patented, optical display system. With
the push of a button, more than 2100 implanted fibers and 20 LED's
illuminate sequentially to bring the chase, the simulated star field
and laser-like blasts from Vader's ship, into action.
You've got to see it
to believe it! You can view a sample of the animated scene on their
website now. Limited
quantities--only 750 available worldwide.
This unique
collectible jacket looks, feels, and wears like a conventional
letterman-style jacket when not activated. You decide when and where
to trigger the 25-second animated light sequence.
- The jacket has a
black wool body with black leather sleeves and trim, and it's
quilted for added warmth. The banded sleeves and waist ensure a
comfortable fit.
- The fiber optic
display is powered by an integrated computer chip and 9-volt
removable battery pack concealed in the pocket.
- Fiber optic
embroidery is durable in all weather.
- Available in men's
sizes M, L, XL & XXL. While supplies last!
Power up your
collection with this wearable high-tech gear!
