The Padawan Post #56


The latest Padawan Post has arrived and here are some features for you to enjoy:

Your Questions About Star Wars Galaxies: LucasArts Replies
This year, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment are going to release Star Wars Galaxies, the first massively multiplayer online game set in the Star Wars universe. Can you be a bounty hunter? How about a Jedi? Young Padawans submitted questions about Galaxies, and the folks creating the game at LucasArts have replied. Your questions and their answers are just a click away... Click here to view now.

The Awesome Art of Star Wars Weekends 2003
Has Yoda met his match? Only when it comes to having fun... and this awesome poster for Star Wars Weekends 2003 proves it! Yoda and his buddy are seen here to excite you and your family to join the festivities at Star Wars Weekends beginning May 16, 2003 at Disney-MGM Studios. For five consecutive Fridays-Sundays, you can participate in the Jedi Training Academy, enter Star Wars trivia contests, and more. How would you like to meet the actors who played Jango Fett, C-3PO, Aurra Sing, Chewbacca, and more? Click here for details.

Jawa Scavenger Hunt Game
Jawas are scavengers on the desert planet Tatooine. Cruising the planet in sandcrawlers, the cloaked creatures seek and collect artifacts that litter the landscape. Some of the items that Jawas scavenge include scrap metal from crashed spaceships and whole droids. In this activity, you get to act like a Jawa. Well, almost. You will cruise around the landscape of StarWarsKids.com seeking and collecting information in order to answer questions presented in the scav hunt game. Have fun and watch out for Tusken Raiders! Click here to play now.

2003 Earth Day Report Card
How would the Star Wars universe score in the areas of energy, garbage and the environment? Pretty well, actually. TIE fighters are powered by solar energy, Jawas recycle, and Naboo's cities set an interstellar example of how to beautifully blend nature and architecture. On the other hand, city-planet Coruscant has a billion residents and a garbage problem to match. In this fun feature, StarWarsKids.com examines the planets, creatures and cultures of the saga to discover some lessons for our Earth Day. Click here to check it out.

The "Who Said It?" Game
Who said, "I am here to put you back on schedule." Was it Vader, Darth Maul or the Emperor? How about... "Do you like your army?" Was it Palpatine in Ep II, Jango or Vader? The answers might be in your head and they can definitely be found in the Who Said It? game. Ten new entries have just been added bringing you more than 125 quotes to test your knowledge of the saga. Each quote is presented with three possible characters who might have said it. Too fun. Click here to play now.

On-Going ~ Padawan of the Week
Each week one StarWarsKids.com Padawan is honored as the "Padawan of the Week" for their participation in the Viewscreen communities. The Viewscreens are kid-safe message boards where participants discuss all aspects of Star Wars. These Padawans are especially recognized for their interesting Star Wars questions and comments, their friendly debate skill, and their welcoming spirit to all new participants. The Padawan Post is proud to highlight recent honorees,

April 24, from the Books & Toys Viewscreen: "...But I also recommend that you read whatever is at your reading level. That way you can get the full Star Wars experience! May the Force be with you!"
~ Padawan Jacen's gurl

April 17, from the Saga Talk Viewscreen: "2 generallee5: Rethinking my position, I don't think that Ben could have beaten Vader. Seeing that Vader was stronger in the Force than him. (Compare the two midi-chlorian numbers.)"
~ Padawan General Dodanna

April 10, from the Saga Talk Viewscreen: "To Little Matty H: That struck me as ironic 2 - a former slave, enslaving not only millions of people but entire species and planets."
~ Padawan Bria Theran

April 3, from the Padawan Viewscreen: "queenjamilla: I agree. The system of ELECTING queens (or kings) is very neat and each queen has her own sort of beauty and politics."
~ Padawan Jedi Knight Quia Lor
