Scavengers' Guide to Droids

The Official Star Wars Site has provided a look into the new Wizards of the Coast roleplaying game sourcebook Star Wars: Scavengers' Guide to Droids. Before you think you've seen it all in terms of droid guides -- there have been several published over the years -- this one has a few surprises.

The 160-page hardcover book includes a sizable Droid Codex -- a catalog of many new and established droids for incorporation into the game as player or non-player characters. "Some of the newly created droids are the EI-9 Network Security Droid, GD16 Pilot Droid, MEV Medical Evacuation Droid, the S19 astromech and the TC-SC infiltration droid," says Hershey. "A few of the expanded droids include the unusual RO-D from a Holonet News entry, the SD-X stealth battle droid from Jacen Solo's SD-XX in the Legacy of the Force series, the PLNK power droid from the Clone Wars series, and the KM1 mining droid from Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords."

Be sure to read the entire article and see pictures of droids from this new sourcebook!

Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip in the Movies Section is the Fan Film entitled I.M.P.S.: Norca System. I.M.P.S.: Norca System is a fan film that made its debut on the Internet November 27, 2009. I.M.P.S. (Imperial Military Personnel Stories) shows troops that serve on the Revenge-class Star Destroyer Relentless as it goes on patrols and missions. 

After a long wait, Chapter 2 again really delivers on original music and professional visual effects. As always, the film has some great light humor. If you have younger viewers, there is some mild language to be aware of as there are conversations that you would typically find in a military unit.

Join the 181st Mechanized Armor Assault Division as they drop for ground assault on Norca II. You can find this great video in My Favorite Fan Films section. You can find other Fan Films in the Other Star Wars Fan Films section. Enjoy!

Daily Video Clip

This video is the full trailer for Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side. The saga continues as Luke (Chris), Leia (Lois), Han Solo (Peter) and Chewbacca (Brian) have evaded the dreaded Imperial Starfleet led by the cunning, conniving and curiously short evil lord Darth Vader (Stewie), setting up a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth. With the rebellion in trouble, young Skywalker must take the advice of his late, and rather lascivious, mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Herbert) and learn the ways of the "farce" under Jedi Master Yoda (Carl) to save the galaxy once and for all.

Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Dark Side will be available beginning December 22 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Enjoy!

The Clone Wars Virtual Camera

Wired's blog called Underwire has a very interesting article about the Virtual Camera and how it is used to create Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes.

All Lucasfilm Animation workers need to see, touch and manipulate characters, ships and planets is a flat-screen monitor, a stylus and access to the company’s Director’s Toolkit and virtual camera pre-visualization technology.

“Our pre-viz tool allows us to create a simple blocking of scenes with characters and sets, and position as many cameras as needed to quickly capture the director’s vision,” Clone Wars CG supervisor Joel Aron told Wired.com.

Lucasfilm’s virtual camera is yet another weapon in the filmmaking arsenal ready and waiting at 21-century directors’ fingertips. These powerful digital tools are rapidly changing the way movies and television shows are assembled — and what fans see on-screen, in animated attractions as well as CGI-enhanced live-action films. Be sure to read the entire article!

New Rogue Squadron Finished

wii.kombo.com is reporting that the new Rogue Squadron has been completed, but may never see the light of day. We've heard much over the past year about Factor 5, from their U.S. studio closing (We reported about the closure of Factor 5 on May, 15th this year.) to the talk of the German studio working on multiple Wii titles. But now, rumors have surfaced that both Nintendo and LucasArts are sitting on two completed Factor 5 titles, both new installments in popular franchises from both companies.

Achim Moller of Factor 5 GmbH recently assured that both of their other Wii titles could have been released in 2009, indicating that Rogue Squadron and Pilotwings have been finished. Moller admits, nonetheless, that Factor 5 is unsure whether both of these titles will see a release, suggesting that either Nintendo or LucasArts are not confident on publishing their Factor 5-developed game.

The question now is whether or not Nintendo and LucasArts might release either project at all. Be sure to read the entire article.
