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!
