| Vader Is Coming... | |
It’s no Jedi mind trick - this really is a (very) sneak peek at Sideshow Collectibles’ long-awaited Darth Vader 1:6 scale figure! The Sith Lord is currently in development at Sideshow, and is one of our most active high-priority projects. A Sideshow ’spec ops’ development team lead by staff artist Jared Chapman is working closely with sculptor Hernan Alé to breathe new life into Darth Vader. Details on the Darth Vader figure are as tightly guarded as the Death Star plans, so go ahead and dispatch your Bothan spies, or keep an eye on the newsletter and SideshowCollectibles.com for news and updates and the opportunity to pre-order your Darth Vader figure in the next few months, as soon as he’s ready for his debut!

| Star Wars Games On PC | |
Videogamer.com has an interview with Cameron Suey, a producer for the upcoming Star Wars Game The Force Unleashed. In the interview, they discuss why the PC version of the game will not be released. What about the future of Star Wars games on PC? Several games have not made it to PC, so are Star Wars games only going to be on consoles from here on out? Cameron says no. Here is a question and response that keeps the PC door open: VideoGamer.com: Do you guys have any message to your PC-owning fans, because you guys have a heritage on PC? CS: Absolutely. We started on the PC. Unfortunately that goes back to the point of such a variance of the platform. There wasn't such a variance at that time and it made a lot more sense to develop on PC. The message is that we're not shutting the door on PC at all. Just for this project it happens to be that we don't have a PC SKU. I really hope that everyone can experience this game on a platform eventually. Be sure to read the entire article with producer Cameron Suey. | |

| The Clone Wars Trading Cards | |
Topps will have The Clone Wars trading card set in stores July 26th 2008. Featured Artist and good friend Kevin Graham will be doing 250 of The Clone Wars Sketch Cards and some will be chosen for the set. Some will be his animation cells and the rest will be directly on the cards. Although it’s a cartoon, he will be drawing some characters a bit like they were used in the regular movies. I am sure these cards will be fantastic and I have provided an example card of his work. Be sure to pick up that Clone Wars set!
