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!

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!

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! |
