| Posters At The Lucasfilm Archives | |
The Official Star Wars Site has a cool article by Pete Vilmur featuring Star Wars posters! I love Star Wars posters!
I'm a Star Wars poster collector -- Steve Sansweet and I wrote something on the subject a few years ago -- so when Lucasfilm Archive Supervisor Marc Wendt dropped me a line last week asking if I could help him sort out some of the posters stored at the Ranch, it didn't take long for me to jump through the phone and land smack dab in the middle of the pastoral hills north of San Francisco. Arriving at the Licensing Archives at Big Rock Ranch, Marc tasked me with removing posters stored in tubes to document their numbers, condition, and location in a new set of cubbies installed on the first floor. That's a pic of me at right with a row of posters freshly liberated from their cardboard tubes. Many of these will eventually be flattened and stored in banks of horizontal flat files. I managed to snap off a dozen pics of some of the more noteworthy posters I came across that day, which I've displayed below. These represent only a fraction of the overall collection, but it's a rare glimpse at some of the cool stuff we have documenting the history of the saga." Be sure to see some of these rare posters! | |

| Daily Video Clip | |
Today's new video clip is the trailer for Fanboys. It's 1998 and Star Wars fanboys across the globe eagerly await the release of Episode I. But for Eric, Linus, Hutch and Windows the term "fanboy" is more than just a title, it's a badge of honor. Spurred by impatience and an undying loyalty to their cause, these former high school friends reunite to undertake the road trip of their fan-tasies. Traveling West across the country to visit their Mecca - George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch - the plan is to break in, steal the film and stake their claim as the first fanboys in history to watch it. But to secure their place in the fanboy hall of fame, they'll have to contend with bizarre bikers, a crazy pimp, a deranged group of trekkies and the quiet intensity of William Shatner. | |

| Vintage Alien Collectibles | |
The Official Star Wars Site also has some great vintage alien collectibles. As the Star Wars universe seems inclined to champion the neglected, the ignored, and the underestimated, the saga has generously granted a small, motley crew of aliens the "grail collectible" status that's usually reserved for the Luke Skywalkers, R2-D2s, Obi-Wans, and Darth Vaders. Ahhh... the "Vinyl-Cape Jawa." Be sure to see them all!

| Vintage Star Wars Costumes | |
The Official Star Wars Site has a great slideshow of some great vintage Star Wars costumes. "In the spirit of Halloween, we thought we'd share a few dozen pages from the albums that contained costumes and masks, presented here just as we found them -- clipped photos, type-written labels, index tabs and all. While this certainly isn't comprehensive -- we couldn't find a bunch of material from The Empire Strikes Back -- it does offer some indication of how Star Wars was merchandised for Halloween and other festivities in other parts of the world." I still have some of these. Great memories. Be sure to see them all!
