Today's new video clip is an animated tribute for the 25th Anniversary of
Return of the Jedi featuring Star Wars action figures. Mr. Gerald Home
(Tessek/Mon Cal Officer) e-mailed me stating that Paul Rowley and John Collier
have given us their permission to provide you with this film. I can't imagine
the amount of time spent on this! Enjoy!
Today I have updated the Music section
with a new soundtrack! The latest addition is from the video
game Knights
of the Old Republic which features 49 tracks. Enjoy!
Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's ProbeShots
with another of his scenes. This is the sixth image for this
section. This was Guy's vision of Padmé on Naboo during Attack of
the Clones. Remember that these images were his vision of scenes
from movies that had not been created. Be sure to also see other
great artists in the Featured
Artists section. Enjoy!
Today's new video clip in the Movies Section
is the CGI Clone
Wars Trailer from Star Wars: The Clone Wars that is to be
released in theaters on August 15, 2008 and then be on TV in
September. You can find this video clip in the Television
Shows section. If you have a movie clip or scene from any video
game in a AVI, MOV, etc. format, please send it in! Enjoy!
In an effort to try and catch up on things a bit, today I have added the
Clone Wars Theatrical Poster to the Images
Section. Be on the lookout for more Clone Wars images in the near future.
Today's new video clip is an exclusive preview of The Force Unleashed for
the Xbox 360 from G4.
See an interview with LucasArts Producer, Cameron Suey, many clips from a
demo the game, and learn more about the characters. You can find clips

Game Scenes section with more to come in the future. If you have a
movie clip or scene from any video game in a AVI, MOV, etc. format, please

RebelScum has the
latest information on eFX and how they will be different from Master Replicas.
Here's what eFX has to say :
"As many of you know, we had originally announced that the pre-order day
for our very first product, the Stormtrooper Helmet, was to be on May 5, 2008.
However, since eFX is a brand new company, we are going to initiate many new
groundbreaking ideas that some many even consider "sacrilege" since
they will break some old "traditions". We have decided to scratch the
whole pre-order process and establish a WORLDWIDE on-sale date when the product
will be available the same day whether you are on Los Angeles, Tokyo or London!
We will try to announce the availability date at least 30 days in advance. We
think that our collectors will appreciate and like this new process."
Be able to see images of the actual product before you purchase
Allows you to better plan your finances since you will know exactly
when your credit card will be charged
Eliminates the frustration of waiting an uncertain amount of time
before you actually receive your product.
Other products that are on the horizon for eFX include:
Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader helmet
Episode 2 Clone Trooper helmet
Episode 4 Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber
Red 5 X-Wing Fighter
This seems like a fair way to do things. Fans will just really need to be
ready for what it is they want to get their hands on.
Mark, our good friend and affiliate from Lightsabre
has informed us of his latest installment of interviews. The latest
addition is with Angus Macinnes, Gold Leader from Star Wars: A New Hope.
Be sure to head over and check it out!

give you something a little more interesting. You can get a listing
of characters using their picture by episode at the Characters

all of our characters, you can check out the Character

Did
you try to get the sneak peak Captain Rex? Well you will have to wait a little
longer.
"Dear Clone Wars Figure Requestor:
We have received your redemption request for the Clone Wars 2008 Captain Rex
collectable figure. Due to an unanticipated production delay, we will be unable
to ship the figure(s) to you until the last week of July, 2008. If you don't
want to wait until then, you may cancel your order and receive a prompt refund
by calling our toll-free customer service number, (800) 327-8264. Customer
service hours are M-TH 8:30am-5:30am; Fr 8:30am-12:30pm. If we do not hear from
you by July 1, 2008, we assume that you have agreed to this shipment delay.
Please DO NOT call the toll-free number unless you want to cancel your order. We
thank you for your patience and apologize for the delay."
It won't be much of a sneak peak it the movie ends up making it out before
the figure. Let's hope there aren't any more delays.

SithClan.net had the
opportunity to speak with Samuel L. Jackson at the Hotel Le Bristol in Paris.
There they asked if he would be voicing the Mace Windu character in the CGI
Clone Wars. Much to their surprise he said yes, that he had in fact voiced the
Mace character. If you will remember, MTV had asked him previously if he would
be interested in doing so and he was very excited about the idea as long as
Lucasfilm gave him a call. I guess they did! Be sure to read
the article, but it is originally in French, so get out those translators!
