Anthony K. Harvey sent in some more great Fan Art pictures. Thanks to Anthony for making this great contribution and sorry for the delay. The first piece is entitled Twi'light Falls - Midnight Rises. It features a female Twi'lek Dark Jedi scholar with joined lightsabers (with force-switchable obsidian / red crystals). The second piece is entitled Twi'light - Jedi Knight. It features a female Twi'lek Jedi Knight with Joined Lightsabers. Lastly, there is a piece is entitled Twi'light in Disguise as a Mercinary. This is one of Twi'light's disguises. Her boots have special hidden compartments that contain her lightsabers. The brown outside flaps snap into the swash top in order to keep them from falling out just in case she is held upside down.

Darth Claus as he is named decides to give presents every year at the festival of Yool, a Wookie mid winter festival that celebrates hairyness.” Yep, you guessed right; The above info is fake.

| Star Wars Battlefront Updates to 32 Players | |
|
LucasArts and Pandemic Studios have announced they are working on a new update for Star Wars Battlefront. It will increase the simultaneous player capability to 32. The new feature will require that the player hosting the game has at least both an up- and downstream of 1.5 megabit. Such a bandwidth guarantees no lag for all players. The update will also include a new map already released to the PC version that sends players back to the desert planet of Tatooine; Jabba’s Palace. The action will include battles with Gamorrean Guards, the dreaded Rancor and even an appearance by Jabba the Hutt. |
