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."
Our friend Kalvin from SWCCMTY
sent in word that they attended the "CJMYC" Board Game and Comics
Convention. They had a diorama of "The Battle of Hoth" and "Echo
Base HQ and Hangars" which were really great! Be sure to check
out the entire review for tons of great pictures and video from the event!
Phil Van Treuren from killercampaigning.com
sent in word that our friend Rabbittooth has created special original Jedi
wallpapers of Barack Obama and Rush Limbaugh as Jedi for his site. Be sure to
check out what Barack
Obama and Rush Limbaugh would look like as Jedi Knights! You can also find Michelle
Malkin and Arianna Huffington as Jedi on the site. Enjoy!
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!

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!

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!
I am saddened to learn that our friend Mark Newbold, from our affiliate Lightsabre

This video is the trailer for Episode 7 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Season 2 and is entitled Legacy of Terror. It is the third chapter in a
massive four-part story arc, the campaign to retake Geonosian airing on

Synopsis: When Luminara goes missing, Obi-Wan and
Ki-Adi-Mundi lead a platoon of clones in search of her. When the search
leads to a mysterious lair, the Jedi are faced with a horde of undead
warriors.

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.
