The Old Republic
Sith Warriors and Companions |
The Official Star Wars Site has
provided an article about the Sith Warriors and Companions in Star Wars The Old
Republic. Every Star Wars hero needs a companion. Han has Chewie, Luke
has R2-D2 -- even Jabba has the cackling monkey lizard Salacious B. Crumb. These
characters will compliment your strengths or weaknesses, and provide company for
the epic journey you will inevitably undertake. Whether they're combative,
friendly, flirtatious, or even just good for a laugh, they always contribute to
your development and serve as a sounding board for your choices. In Star
Wars: The Old Republic, a variety of these Companion Characters will join
your cause.
Be sure to read the entire article and learn more about Companion
Characters!

The Clone Wars
Season Two on DVD and Blu-Ray! |
The Official Star Wars Site has
announced that the Force is back and better than ever -- in Star Wars:
The Clone Wars The Complete Season Two, coming to DVD and high-definition
Blu-ray Disc October 26 from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Warner Home Video. Featuring
cutting-edge animation and a host of special bonus materials, the comprehensive
collection explores the farthest reaches of "a galaxy far, far away" with
all-new adventures set against the spectacular backdrop of the Star Wars
universe.
Relive all 22 Season Two episodes -- featuring bounty hunters, space pirates,
giant monsters, mind-controlling brain worms and the return of Boba Fett! -- and
then dig deeper with the ultimate look behind the scenes of the hit TV series.
Bonus features include a look inside the Lucasfilm vaults, with featurette
interviews along with Director and Artist commentaries on each disc. In
addition, The Complete Season Two will include a 64-page production journal with
concept designs, original sketches and notes from Supervising Director Dave
Filoni. And exclusive to the Blu-ray disc, The Jedi Temple Archives provides
in-depth access to an extensive database of creative materials.
"Everything's improved since the first season -- the stories, the animation,
everything," said Filoni. "It's bigger and better, and it's going to look great
in high-definition. We're all just so proud of the series, and I think it shows;
we're bursting to share our production secrets, so the features are just full of
fun insights from behind the scenes. As a fan, this is what I'd want."
Created and executive produced by George Lucas, the first-ever TV production
from Lucasfilm Animation explores the tumultuous time between Episodes II and
III, expanding the scope of Star Wars beyond anything seen in the feature
films. With the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, the heroes of the
Republic -- including the valiant Jedi Knights and their loyal clone troopers --
fight bravely to repel the attacks of the evil Separatists and their droid army.
With fierce battles, expanded storylines and ground-breaking animation, this is
a Star Wars adventure that is bigger, bolder, and more intense than ever
before!
Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Two will be available
October 26 for the suggested retail price of $44.98 for DVD and $59.99 for
Blu-ray.
Special Features: Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete
Season Two is presented in widescreen with English, Spanish and French 5.1 DTS
