Celebration VI News

Eric from TheForce.net has discovered that ReedPop Group Vice President Lance Fensterman posted a teaser in his blog stating:

"So what was my point, oh yes Star Wars Celebration 6, of course. I've not posted anything in a while yet we've been working really hard on getting news ready for you. So let's just say that we are close to telling you something about when and where it will be and you might find the host city a real surprise."

"Don't hold me to it, but I bet we'll have some real news (not just a mean spirited tease like this post is) in the next 8 weeks."

Well, now I am curious about the new host city. Perhaps it will be closer to me this time so I might go for once. More news to come as it breaks.

Master Model Builders unloaded crates containing several models including a crystal tower from Christophsis in The Clone Wars, the clone turbo tank from Revenge of the Sith, and the Naboo hangar. The models are part of 2,000 that are arriving to be installed in Star Wars Miniland.

The area includes seven scenes --six of the most famous scenes from the six live-action Star Wars movies, as well as one from the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars - all made out of 1.5 million LEGO bricks and built in 1:20 scale. Enjoy!

Crimson Empire III Coming

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that Crimson Empire III is coming! Back in 1997, Dark Horse Comics launched their landmark Crimson Empire series. The six-part mini-series, written by Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley and illustrated by Paul Gulacy peeked underneath the red robes of the enigmatic guards that were rarely far from Emperor Palpatine's side in Return of the Jedi. Star Wars: Crimson Empire focused on the survivors of the Emperor's Royal Guard, elite deadly warriors with no obvious successor to earn their undying loyalty after the defeat of the Emperor. The series introduced readers to guardsmen Kir Kanos and Carnor Jax, who became fan favorites.

Envisioned as a trilogy, the series was followed by Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood in 1998, and then... nothing. Although Crimson Empire III was first announced for 2001, it never surfaced.

The series will finally see completion as the first of six issues of Star Wars: Crimson Empire III arrives on October 25, 2011. Working with collaborator/editor Randy Stradley on story, Mike Richardson writes, with art by Paul Gulacy, colors by Michael Bartolo, letters by Heisler, and cover art by Dave Dorman.

Be sure to read the great interview about this new comic series!
