| Battlefront: Renegade Squadron Q&A | |
The Official Star Wars Site has an article with LucasArts Lead Designer Mike Rosser, Lead Tester Ryan Adza, Assistant Producer K.C. Coleman, Product Marketing Manager Mike Webster and Renegade Squadron Blog Master Chris Baker answer fan questions about Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron. Will I be able to make a character with a Jetpack, Clone Blaster Rifle, and Clone Commander's chain gun, decked out in a dark gray Jet Trooper armor? Or is this strictly a Galactic Civil War affair and you won't include some Clone Wars stuff? Adza: First off, this is a full Battlefront game, so you will be able to play as not only in the Galactic Civil War time period, but also in the Clone Wars. As for the character you are asking about in your question, you can make a character on the Clone side that looks sort of like this. There is no actual Jet Trooper skin but there are some clone skins that will get you close. There is also no gray custom color, but there is black -- which I think looks really cool. Now for the weapons: You can have a clone with a jetpack and either a blaster rifle or a Clone Commander's chain gun, but you cannot have both since they are both in the weapon 1 category. But there are a ton of really cool choices for a secondary weapon that you can have to complement your weapon 1 choice and your jetpack. Some of these weapons include an explosive blaster pistol or an EMP launcher. Be sure to read the full article for all the questions and answers about this new PSP game.

| Star Wars: Vector | |
A yearlong event with repercussions for every era and every hero in the Star Wars galaxy begins here! Hot on the heels of the 30th anniversary of one of the most celebrated and revered storylines of all time, fans will have the first taste of what will be one of the biggest events to ever shake the Star Wars galaxy. Two years after Dark Horse ambitiously relaunched the entire Star Wars line of comics with the titles Knights of the Old Republic, Legacy, Rebellion, and Dark Times, comes the next chapter in the galaxy’s best comics. Beginning in January 2008 with the popular Knights of the Old Republic title, Star Wars “Vector” will eclipse all four titles throughout the year, introducing new characters and tying the entire line together, This promises to be one of the biggest crossovers the world of comics has seen yet! When a terrible vision reaching more than 4,000 years into the future alerts the secret Jedi Covenant to the importance of Taris, they activate an operative already on this planet overrun by Mandalorians. There, in the deadly Undercity, a monstrous, ancient threat is unleashed that plunges Zayne Carrick, the Padawan accused of killing his fellow students, into an adventure which will eventually span four thousand years and involve Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and the principles of the Legacy series! “After our relaunch in 2006 and the thirtieth anniversary this year, we were looking for something special to kick-off 2008,” said editor Randy Stradley. “At first, a line-wide Star Wars crossover seemed like it might be beyond our reach, but after nearly a year’s worth of back-and-forth discussions among our writers and artists, we came up with something really solid. Not only is it a big story that can span all of the eras we’re dealing with, but the events which take place within each era will be important to that era.” For anyone who never knew where to start with Star Wars comics, “Vector” is the perfect introduction to the entire Star Wars line! For any serious Star Wars fan, “Vector” is the must-read event of 2008, with major happenings throughout the most important moments of the galaxy’s history. The “Vector” story begins in Knights of the Old Republic #25, this coming January. The "Vector" storyline will appear in Knights of the Old Republic #25-28, Dark Times #11-12, Rebellion #15-16, and Legacy #29-32. | |

| Family Guy Strikes Back | |
TV Week has a blog entry that talks about future episodes of “Family Guy.” Sunday night’s one-hour “Star Wars” parody episode of Fox’s “Family Guy” was such a ratings success that producers are considering devoting an episode to “The Empire Strikes Back” next year. The season premiere featured characters from “Family Guy” performing a compressed re-enactment of the 1977 film, using the original sound effects and John Williams’ musical score. Posting a 5.5 preliminary rating among adults 18 to 49, the episode was the highest-rated “Family Guy” since the show returned to Fox in 2005 (full weekend ratings will be posted soon). A spokesman for 20th Century Fox Television said there’s no official announcement on a sequel, but doing “Empire” next year “seems likely.” In an interview conducted before the episode aired, executive producer Chris Sheridan said the staff wants to do “Empire” if Sunday’s episode performed well. The parodies could give “Family Guy” an annual format-breaking event like “The Simpsons’” popular Halloween episodes. But if you missed last night’s episode (titled “Blue Harvest”—the production code name of “Return of the Jedi”), future viewing opportunities are scarce. The day after airing, “Family Guy” episodes typically are available on Fox’s video player, or for purchase on Xbox 360 and other electronic retailers. For the time being, Fox is holding back “Blue Harvest” and has no current plans for an encore presentation. Fox also kept the episode off iTunes, where it uploaded premiere episodes for several other shows last week. (Note: A reader pointed out in the blog comments that Adult Swim airs "Family Guy" encores. According to the network's Web site, "Blue Harvest" is slated for Oct. 14 at 11 p.m.). Be sure to read the rest of the article about the show. It is at the bottom of the page. | |
