| Star Wars In Concert Returns | |
 The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Star Wars:
In Concert, the unique multi-media event featuring music from all six of John
Williams' epic Star Wars scores, returns to North America on May 13, 2010
in Ft. Myers, Florida (May 13), beginning a fifty-city leg of the worldwide tour
that will include dates in the United States and Canada.
The production features a full symphony orchestra and choir, accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen -- one of the largest ever put on tour. The live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multi-media, one-of-kind Star Wars experience. However, the announcement did not say whether the concert will continue to be narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO in all six films). Be sure to read the entire article. | |

| Daily Video Clip | |
This video was created by as part of an animation challenge on bricksinmotion.com. The goal was to make the coolest lightsaber duel possible. This was a fantastic job of creating a stop-animation film that seemed smooth and seamless instead of very choppy like most animations of this kind. Very professionally done. Enjoy! | |

| MGLT Speed Explained | |
What does MGLT stand for? I occasionally receive this question in e-mail and it is a regular search term, so I am providing an explanation and adding it to the main Ships page. In the fictional Star Wars universe, interstellar vessels are rated for their sub-light speed in a common unit—the MGLT, a unit of acceleration in common use throughout the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, and the New Republic. MGLT is also known as "Megalight." The acronym MGLT has never been given any official meaning, however the accepted fan speculation that the acronym MGLT actually stands for Micro-Gravity Linear (Acceleration) Tolerance, a measure the rate at which the ion thrusters of a particular ship are capable of increasing the absolute speed of a vessel in a micro-gravity (space) environment. The term MGLT was invented originally in the X-Wing computer game
series as a term to explain the top speed of spacecraft in the games. Abstract
measurements of speed that judged relative speed had previously been used in the
Star Wars role-playing game (WEG), and the relative speeds shown in the X-Wing
series were generally consistent with the speeds shown in prior materials.
Within the games, 1 MGLT is approximately equal to 1 meter per
second. MGLT comparison taken from Star Wars: Behind The Magic. (Click on the image for full viewing)
