"Based on the TV movie event that will launch season 3 of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series in October 2010, this novel follows a group of clone troopers as they rise through the ranks from cadets, to rookies, and all the way to elite ARC troopers."

Perhaps we will see some Arc Troopers in action in the Season 3 opener. The movie could be another story arc (no pun intended), but hopefully it will be an actual movie. We will just have to wait and see.

Star Wars: Adventures: The Will of Darth Vader Written by Tom Taylor; Pencils by Brian Koschak; Inks by Dan Parsons; Colors by Michael Wiggam; Cover by Sean McNally On sale August 11. 80 pages; digest-sized trade paperback.

Darth Vader is on a mission for the Emperor!

When the Rebellion's hit-and-run attacks on Imperial cargo ships become too audacious to be ignored, Darth Vader is sent in to find the Rebel base and destroy it. But the base, hidden in the center of a constantly shifting asteroid field, cannot be attacked directly.

To reach his target, Vader will have to team up with a recently captured smuggler named Zika -- and dealing with an unwilling, wisecracking partner may be more of a trial for the Dark Lord than the actual mission!

Synopsis: When Senator Onaconda Farr dies under suspicious circumstances, Padmé sets out to find the person responsible for the death of her favorite "uncle."

With our launch of "Empire Chronicles," a new series which explores many of the characters, vehicles, and settings from The Empire Strikes Back, we begin with an in-depth look at one of the film's most unforgettable pieces of military hardware: the All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT for short. We've combed through dozens of sources documenting the creation of this intimidating weapon of the Empire, from early issues of the highly-regarded special effects journal Cinefex to the now-elusive video commentary tracks featured on 1993's Definitive Collection laserdisc set (remember those?). From these we've culled quotes or passages from the individuals directly responsible for conceiving, building, filming, or breathing life into the AT-AT, and have scoured our Image Archives for photos documenting its creation, some of which have rarely been seen.

Be sure to read this great article!

The publisher's chief banker Eric Brown described the MMO as the "largest ever development project, period, in the history of the company".

He said a packaged game usually costs around $30m to make at EA, but "any MMO costs significantly more than that".

When asked by a member of the Wedbush Morgan Securities audience in New York today how the cost compared to World of Warcraft, Brown said Blizzard spent "$100 million, perhaps more" to ship the game in 2004.

"That's lifetime [research and development] to actually ship it and obviously then there's maintenance subsequent to ship and expansion packs," Brown added.

These days, WOW makes around $100m a month from subscriptions. EA no doubt hopes SWTOR will recoup costs in a similar fashion.

"MMOs are sizeable undertakings," quipped Brown.

EA is steering Star Wars: The Old Republic towards a spring 2011 release.
