Lightsabre News

Our good friend Mark and fellow "Sworian" from Lightsabre sends in the latest news.

"Hope this email finds you all well, we've had a busy couple of weeks here at Lightsabre and here's what's been happening.

Not only have we been forging ahead with our gallery section and Setnin Selects, we've also been scouting the galaxy for Phantom Menace guests to celebrate next years 10th anniversary - can you believe it's a decade already? We have some brilliant guests lined up, with more to come.

This week our interview guest is Kevin Rubio, which was a last second change from our scheduled guest Paul 'Greedo' Blake. We managed to get a few questions in with Kevin on the day that Bombad Jedi premiered, so it seemed only logical to put the chat on then.

Speaking of logical, the new Star Trek trailer continues to impress and amaze - word is the second trailer is even more mind-blowing - and we have some very neat Star Wars twists on the trailer available to view on the site.

Coming this week a review of last weekends Memorabilia show by myself and Jonathan Hicks of Farsight Games fame, and next Sunday our webmaster interview with the Elvistrooper himself, Ken Tarleton."

Jedi News Make a Wish

James and Adam from Jedi News sent in this latest news. We're fast approaching the season of goodwill and at this time we mustn't forget those less fortunate than ourselves. Jedi News aligned itself with Make a Wish at its launch and since then we've raised lots of money for this great charity. Last week at the UK's National Space Centre we launched our biggest and most ambitious fund raiser yet...

To celebrate the launch of the Clone Wars on Blu-ray on the 8th December and also the 1st series of the Clone Wars on Sky we've teamed up with Pionner, Chew & Osborne, Sky, ID-WALL and SFX Magazine to bring you some amazing prizes...

* 1st Prize consists of a Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-ray Player, a Sky HD Designer Box with installation and 6 months subscription, an ID-WALL Clone Wars Canvas and a year's subscription to Sci-Fi magazine SFX
* 2nd and 3rd Prizes consist of a Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-ray Player and a year's subscription to Sci-Fi magazine SFX

So how can you take part and win? This is unlike anything we've done before and all you need to do to enter is donate a minimum of £2 to Make a Wish by PayPal to makeawish@jedinews.co.uk - every penny of the amount you donate will go directly to Make a Wish. £2 gets you one entry, £5 gets you three entries and £10 gets you seven entries into the Prize Draw. When you send the money please send it as a GIFT to ensure that all money goes directly to Make a Wish. Entry to the Prize Draw ends at midnight on the 7th December.

There are also two other ways you can get involved - join us at Chew and Osborne, along with Pioneer and the 501st, on Wednesday 26th November...

KURO means black in Japanese and the new range of Pioneer LCD's and Plasma's feature blacks like never before - so much so, even the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader, won't be coming to Saffron Walden and Chew & Osborne this Wednesday night. Instead, Vader Fist the 501st, will be sending a legion of Stormtroopers to control the crowds and to ensure order. You can come along and get involved too, seeing the new Pioneer products in their flesh and donating money to Make a Wish and earn a chance of winning some great prizes in our Clone Wars Prize Draw. There'll be some giveaways on the night, including some exclusive Jedi News badges and a chance to win some other Pioneer equipment too - we hope to see you there!
