Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip in the Movies Section is the Fan Film entitled Ch 1-Spirits of the Force. This fan film was a "no-budget" Star Wars fan film released in June 2005 and made by members of the Phoenix Fan Force.

Kyle Katarn returns to the Jedi Academy on Yavin IV seeking Master Skywalker’s advice on a familiar disturbance he senses in the force. During his visit, he sees some familiar faces… some friendly, some not so friendly.

You can find this video in the Other Star Wars Fan Films section. You can find other great Fan Films in My Favorite Fan Films section. Enjoy!

New Rogue Squadron Finished

wii.kombo.com is reporting that the new Rogue Squadron has been completed, but may never see the light of day. We've heard much over the past year about Factor 5, from their U.S. studio closing (We reported about the closure of Factor 5 on May, 15th this year.) to the talk of the German studio working on multiple Wii titles. But now, rumors have surfaced that both Nintendo and LucasArts are sitting on two completed Factor 5 titles, both new installments in popular franchises from both companies.

Achim Moller of Factor 5 GmbH recently assured that both of their other Wii titles could have been released in 2009, indicating that Rogue Squadron and Pilotwings have been finished. Moller admits, nonetheless, that Factor 5 is unsure whether both of these titles will see a release, suggesting that either Nintendo or LucasArts are not confident on publishing their Factor 5-developed game.

The question now is whether or not Nintendo and LucasArts might release either project at all. Be sure to read the entire article.

Severing The Yahoo Connection

Over the past month, the Official Star Wars Site has severed their affiliation with Yahoo. The first step taken was the cancellation of video content hosting with Yahoo in favor of an internal solution.

Now the starwars.yahoo.com site will be dissolved.

"Greetings,

The starwars.yahoo.com website will be closing down. The website will no longer be accessible as of December 15, 2009. As of that date, you will no longer be able to upload content, including photos, video and other items to the website, and content that was previously uploaded to the starwars.yahoo.com site will no longer be accessible and/or viewable.

Any profile content that was created specific to the starwars.yahoo.com site will no longer be available. Your standard Yahoo! profile information will not be impacted.

I am sure there one of the reasons this move was made was in order to save some money.
