Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip is a rare look into some of the vintage items that were available in 1978 after the release of Star Wars. Remember, there was no Internet, no DVDs, and not even VCRs! The video features the Give-a-Show Projector and Movie Viewer. The Movie Viewer was the only way to see actual moving scenes from Star Wars. Oh how I wanted one of these. Enjoy!

Kotaku.com has confirmed that LucasArts has laid off 85 out of their 250 employees.

"LucasArts is reorganizing its teams to better address the needs of the internal studio. Unfortunately, this means adjusting staffing," reads a statement from the company. "LucasArts continues to be committed to creating a first-class internal studio – and to fostering relationships with trusted external partners – in order to deliver quality games that amaze and inspire fans."

Lots of reorganization going on. I only hope it equals out to good things for the fans.

Personalized Clone Wars Book

The Official Star Wars Site has announced that the publishing teams of Penguin and Penwizard have come together to produce the first ever personalized Star Wars: The Clone Wars book. This is the first book to offer Clone Wars fans the opportunity to appear in print alongside their favorite heroes and villains. This book launch follows the huge success of their launch title, Peppa Pig: Go to Playgroup in 2009.

The Way of the Warrior is a thrilling story where a customized avatar draws upon all their skills and courage to outwit an evil bounty hunter. To create an avatar, the individual makes a choice between siding with the Republic to become a Jedi or joining the forces of darkness to adopt the guise of a Sith. The book can be personalized by selecting facial features along with hair style and color to create a likeness. The customized character will appear throughout the story alongside iconic figures such as Yoda, Anakin and Count Dooku. If the book is a gift, then there's also an option to include a personal message.

Perfect for Clone Wars fans of all ages, The Way of the Warrior will be available from October priced £14.99 plus postage and packing. Books are printed and delivered within 7 working days. This offer is based out of the UK. A US version will be available this Fall.
