Meet The Dark Lord Next Week

From Starwars.com

Next week, the saga of Darth Vader continues with the release of Star Wars: Dark Lord -- The Rise of Darth Vader, the novel by James Luceno that continues the story of Episode III. To commemorate this event, Del Rey Books has dispatched Darth Vader and his forces to a number of bookstores across the U.S. Vader, stormtroopers and perhaps some other costumed characters will be doing meet-and-greets, posing for photo-ops, and handing out Dark Lord pins.

The book comes out on Tuesday, November 22, 2005. Below is a current list of bookstores slated to host these costumed appearances. This list is subject to change, so if one of these bookstores is in your area, contact them for the latest details. All times are local.

Quail Ridge Books
3522 Wade Avenue
Raleigh, NC
Time: 6:00 pm


Borders Norridge
7100 West Forest Preserve Avenue
Norridge, IL 60706
Time: 5:00 pm


Borders Highland
10135 Indianapolis Boulevard
Highland, IN 46322
Time: 5:00 pm


Media Play
Riverdale Family Center
1100 West Riverdale Dr.
Riverdale, UT
Time: 5:30 pm


Stacey's

Teams will also be handing out pins during meet and greets at community holiday parades in the San Francisco Bay Area:

November 25th, 6:30 pm - Niles "festival of lights" parade
December 3rd, 2:00 pm - Oakland Holiday parade
December 4th, 8:30 am - San Jose Holiday Parade


Keep a look out in your bookstores for the Dark Lord talking display. A motion sensor built into it alerts Darth Vader to your presence, and you'll hear the deep voice of the Sith Lord as you approach.

Star Wars Artist Series: Cat Staggs

From the Official Star Wars Site

As a child equipped with colored pens and pencils, paper and a creative drive to draw portraits of everything from her favorite cartoon characters to British pop stars, Texas-based Star Wars artist Cat Staggs knew she always wanted to be an artist.
"It was the only thing I knew I could do," Staggs laughs. "I would draw constantly. I grew up wanting to draw for Disney, Warner Brothers, or even Hanna-Barbera. I was drawing all the time -- anything I could get my hand on. I would draw portraits for my friends of their favorite pop stars like the guys from Duran Duran. And I loved to draw my favorite cartoons from Bugs Bunny to Super Friends!"

However, after viewing A New Hope for the first time, it seemed Staggs' artistic muse would drastically shift from caped crime fighters and a rascally rabbit to the Jedi and Sith characters she'd quickly grown to love.
