Guy Lagacé's George's Visions

Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's section entitled George's Visions. This is the fifth image for this section and was Guy's vision of Anakin trying to rescue Shmi in Episode II. Remember that these scenes were created before we had details of things to come. Be sure to also see other great artists in the Featured Artists section. Enjoy!

Star Wars Insider #105

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that the 105th issue of Star Wars Insider, the official magazine published by Titan, comes with not just one, but two newsstand edition covers in addition to the exclusive edition. Though heroes and villains grace the covers, inside, you'll find the same galaxy of great content, including:
  • A celebration of Return of the Jedi; commemorate its 25 years by exploring a unique visual commentary
  • An interview with Matthew Wood, the man behind the rasping, rage-filled villain General Grievous, as well as master of a universe of Star Wars noises as a supervisor at Skywalker Sound.
  • An interview with Adrienne Wilkinson, the actress behind the moody Maris Brood from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
  • Visual effects legend Ken Ralston discusses his early days at Industrial Light & Magic during the original Star Wars.

   

Filling out the issue are all the regular departments and columns: The Science of Star Wars demands we get the jetpacks we were all promised, while A Long Time Ago... looks back at 1996. Star Wars Insider pits Asajj Ventress against Maris Brood in Versus, while the Collecting columns looks inside Star Wars lunchboxes. There's also Bantha Tracks, Bounty Hunters, Classic Moment and much, much more!

Star Wars Insider #105 hits newsstands on November 4th. Come back to StarWars.com that week for an excerpt from the feature Maris Brood interview.

Fanboys Delayed Until 2009

TF.N is reporting that according to an article about the Weinstein Co. at the LA Times, it seems that Fanboys is now being delayed until February 6th. "Fanboys": Harvey says the movie has been moved to February "so we can do a major promotion with Comcast, who's arranging for a big advertising tie-in for us on the film." I guess we will have to wait a little longer!

Lightsabre News

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

"Hope this email finds you well. As you probably noticed the site was very quiet last week and part of the week before. My Mom was taken ill on holiday and I had to travel to Malta to be with her and Dad and organise getting them home. We arrived back in the UK last Friday, Mom's seeing a specialist Thursday and fingers crossed we've caught this thing early.

While that was going on Louis ably stepped into the breach, so I'd like to say a big thanks to him and the rest of the Lightsabre team, especially Jonathan, Paul, Matt, James and Jason for helping keep my head together while I was away. I won't forget that guys.

And also to John Singh of Lucasfilm for postponing a big interview we had lined up for last week. Your best wishes were a great comfort.

As for the site we're back and up to date. Yesterday we presented our Howie Weed interview, which was very swiftly organised and completed thanks to Howie and Greg Grusby at ILM, and next week we should follow that up with our latest webmaster interview followed by the second part of our Tom Hodges interview.

Obviously not a huge amount to report other than that as we wind up the gears again and get back to racing speed, but check the site out for the latest news, Setnin Select and more from the Setnin Sector as well as some fantastic images from the forthcoming Star Trek movie - featuring ILM doing some amazing work - and the usual Lightsabre regulars.

And remember to visit www.swora.net for news of Richard LeParmentiers forthcoming trip to Portugal and our sister site www.admiralmotti.co.uk for much, much more."

Thanks Mark. I hope your mother gets better soon!
