I would like to say Merry
Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. Did Santa bring you any Star Wars
goodies? I really appreciate all of the fan support throughout the year! I hope
you, your family, and your friends will enjoy the season this year! Always
remember that family is the most important part of our lives. Take care!
Merry Christmas! I just wanted to
remind you all of the Holiday
with the Fetts' video. This special Macromedia Flash Christmas short was put
together in 2001 by starwars.com. Holiday with the Fetts' features Jango and
Boba on Christmas day. You can find these films and others in the Movies Section. Enjoy!
Today's first video clip in the Movies Section is the Christmas video called
R2-D2 and the Wampa. You can
find this video in the Christmas
Season Section. This special Macromedia Flash Christmas short was put
together in 2000 by StarWars.com. Enjoy!
This is "How the Grinch Stole
Christmas" read by Obi-Wan and Cad Bane. James Arnold Taylor put this together
for the ForceCast Christmas Special in 2009. Corey Burton (the voice of Cad Bane
and Ziro the Hutt) also worked on this special. Enjoy!
My good friend and Star Wars actor
Gerald Home was recently in the news at TheForce.net about his latest works and challenges in his
personal life. Gerald played Tessek also known as Squid Head and a Mon Calamari
Officer in Return of the Jedi. In an e-mail wishing each other a Merry
Christmas, he sent along some pictures of the two latest films he has been
working on.
LONDON BOULEVARD
London Boulevard is a London gangster movie and stars Colin Farrell and (Star
Wars actress) Keira Knightley, and was written and directed by William Monahan,
who won an Oscar for his screenplay of THE DEPARTED. Though filmed in London,
it's a big-budget Hollywood movie. I play an undertaker in it, in a cemetery
scene with Colin Farrell.
CHATROOM
Chatroom is a psychological drama about a group of teenagers who
meet online and encourage each other to do bad things. I play a
not-very-pleasant character in a short scene with Aaron Johnson, who many of you
know from KICKASS. It was directed by Hideo Nakata, famous for THE RING and DARK
WATER. I had a great time working with him and think he's a genius.
Look for these films to be released sometime in 2011. Thanks
Gerald!
TheForce.net has discovered a new Star Wars game called Droid
Hunt. This is not your typical Star Wars game and you won't find it on Xbox, PC,
or Playstation. You will need to take a trip to Las Vegas with cash in hand to
get a chance at this new Star Wars game. After some research, apparently there
is already several Star Wars slots to choose from. Take a look at this new game.
Wired.com has provided a look into the six-volume "Star Wars:
Frames" book set that features more than 1,400 images from the saga that have
been hand-picked by George Lucas. How much you ask for this great collectible?
Plan on shelling out $3,000. I guess this cool collectible won't be on my
shelves.

please send it in! Enjoy!

Unleashed II.
As the shift change on the Death Star passes, Stormtroopers head back to the
barracks and others head out to their posts. Their one stop in common is the
Imperial Cafeteria. Here, one lone coffee maker sits. Empty. Used. Un-refilled.
Destined to serve millions of cups of coffee a day across the space station, the
promise of the device remains unfulfilled. And Vader is not a morning person.
The Emperor confronts Vader about his secret apprentice Sunrobber...
Moonbeamer... Starsomething.
