Daily Video Clip #1

Today's first new video clip is the Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force Trailer. There are new Star Wars tables on the way! Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force will be available later this fall, featuring three brand new Star Wars themes: Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, Starfighter Assault and a tribute table based on the notorious Darth Vader. 

Help the rebellion destroy the Sith and the fearsome Death Star in the Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi table. Aid Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, R2-D2, and C-3PO in their fight against the Sith in order to restore peace to the galaxy. 

Pay tribute to the Dark Lord of the Sith in a table dedicated to Darth Vader. Use the dark side of the Force to mercilessly pursue the Jedi and Rebel Alliance and face off with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. 

Support the Rebel Alliance's Fleet or the Galactic Empire's Armada, as you lead your side to victory in Star Wars: Starfighter Assault. The table features legendary Starfighters like the X-wing and TIE Fighter, and iconic vessels like the Millennium Falcon and the Death Star II.

The fate of the galaxy is in your hands! Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force will be available as DLC for existing Star Wars Pinball games and Zen Studios pinball platforms on digital stores including Xbox LIVE Arcade, Steam, PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, Nintendo Wii U eShop, Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows 8, Mac App Store and Kindle Fire HD.

Stephen Stanton Recording Rebels?

Recently, Stephen Stanton who played several voices for Star Wars: The Clone Wars to include the infamous Tarkin posted the picture below on his Facebook page. I think he is telling us that he is in a recording session for the new animated series Star Wars Rebels. And who might he be recording a voice for? None other than Tarkin I'm sure. We know from interviews with The Clone Wars voice actors that they record dialog for a show more than a year out from the time it airs. The timing of a recording session would be just right for Rebels. Will Tarkin be a Moff or a Governor during the time of Rebels? Only time will tell, but I am really looking forward to this new show that will be released in the fall of 2014. Especially being we will have familiar voice actors playing the parts. It is like spending time with your close friends again. Can't wait!

Our good friends and fellow SWORA member TeeKay-421, the Belgian Star Wars fanclub have sent in some news!

The 65th Magazine of TeeKay-421, the Belgian Star Wars fanclub, was published in September. It features cover art by Joe Corroney and Chris Dee. The magazine has an extensive report on Celebration Europe II and has exclusive interviews with Corey Burton (Cad Bane, Dooku, ...), Joe Corroney and Bonnie Piesse (Beru Whitesun). The central theme of the magazine is ‘Skywalkers’ and therefore there are several articles about the legendary family, including one about ‘The Chosen One’. We also continue our special feature of ‘Shadows of the Empire’ with articles about the soundtrack and the merchandising. The latest books are also reviewed, including ‘The Clone Wars Episode Guide’ and ‘Complete Vehicles’.
