Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip in the Movies Section is from the upcoming Star Wars game The Old Republic.

Both infamous and anonymous at the same time, Bounty Hunters are far more than mercenaries for hire—they’re heirs to a professional legacy—an ancient brotherhood with a glorious history. Tracking elusive targets across multiple star systems requires expertise, especially when the targets can be prominent, powerful, and often prepared for confrontation. Thrill seekers from all walks of life set out to become Bounty Hunters, but only the most hard-boiled survive in this competitive and deadly business.

Be sure to download and see the Bounty Hunter Trailer in HD! You can find this video clip in the Video Game Scenes section. If you have a movie clip or scene from any video game in a AVI, MOV, etc. format, please send it in! Enjoy!

Look for more cards and stickers every day!

Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip is a music video by the band Scattered Trees called “Love and Leave.” The video features Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, and the Queen Amidala who uses (in my opinion) a Jedi Mind Trick to cause a trooper to fall in love. There is a nice twist at the end. Enjoy!

The Phantom Menace 3D Official Release Date

The Official Star Wars Site has an article stating that Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox announced today that the 3D theatrical launch of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace now has an official release date -- February 10, 2012! Set against the thrilling and exotic backdrop of a "galaxy far, far away," Star Wars is perfectly suited to the immersive 3D theatrical experience, and Episode I delivers some of the Saga's most stunning and spectacular sequences -- from the Naboo invasion to the Tatooine Podraces to the climactic lightsaber battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi.

Supervised by Industrial Light & Magic, the meticulous conversion is being done with utmost respect for the source material, and with a keen eye for both technological considerations and artistic intentions.

Time to make plans for those midnight releases! Star Wars is back on the big screen and in a big way! I can't wait!

With freed prisoners in their possession and the brutal warden attempting desperately to thwart them, Obi-Wan and Anakin search for a way out of the Citadel and back to Coruscant.

Galactic Poll Results

After asking if it was time for Galactic Voyage to close its doors, you all responded with an overwhelming 90% of the vote stating that I should continue. I have found new energy with your responses and by going back to my 1977 Star Wars roots. As a result I will open a new section on the site tomorrow. Stay tuned and thanks for your feedback!
