The remaining copies of two new Ralph McQuarrie products created exclusively for Star Wars Celebration Japan in Tokyo are now available for pre-order on StarWarsShop.com while supplies last.

Star Wars: The Art of Ralph McQuarrie is a168 page, 9" x 12" trade paperback that contains the bulk of the 130 pages of Star Wars art from the hardcover edition of The Art of Ralph McQuarrie, along with approximately 30 pages of additional material exclusive to this edition, including unseen Star Wars artwork discovered since the publication of the hardcover edition. While the text is in Japanese, it is an excellent companion volume to the hardcover. Limited to only 1978 copies (celebrating the 1978 release of Star Wars in Japan). For more information and a link to order, check out the Dreams and Visions Press blog: http://dreamsandvisionspress.blogspot.com/.

We also produced a one-sheet based on Ralph's original Star Wars concept for the Star Wars one-sheet poster, completed by noted artist Lawrence Noble (who's art graced the Empire Strikes Back 10th Anniversary poster). Only 2000 copies of the poster were produced for Celebration Japan, and StarWarsShop is also offering a special edition of 300 copies on heavier stock signed by Lawrence Noble.

WHAT DO THE GALAXY-FATES HAVE IN MIND FOR YOU?

EYEZ ON THE STARZ!

Jedi Jin Su has done an outstanding job with Issue #15, and I think you all will really enjoy it! So go have look at the latest Coruscant Courier Issue.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #35, "Vindication" Part 4 (of 4) Written by John Jackson Miller; Pencils by Brian Ching; Colors by Michael Atiyeh. On sale November 19. 40 pages.

At long last, Knights of the Old Republic will conclude Zayne's long journey as a fugitive Jedi Padawan -- but not before an astounding climax that will set a brand-new path for him to follow! Zayne and his former Master, Lucien Draay, will be tempted by the dark side while the Jedi Knights war among themselves and the city-planet Coruscant burns around them.

Star Wars: Legacy #30, "Vector" Part 11 (of 12) Written by John Ostrander; Penciled by Jan Duursema; Inked by Dan Parsons; Colors by Brad Anderson. On sale November 26. 40 pages.

Celeste Morne, a Jedi of the Old Republic, and Cade Skywalker, descendant of the legendary Skywalkers, have joined with a group of Imperial Knights and Cade's bounty hunter crew for an assassination attempt on the Sith Emperor, Darth Krayt. But Celeste has been struggling with the spirit of Sith Lord Karness Muur for over 4,000 years -- there is no way to determine how much control he maintains over her actions. Can Cade's plot succeed, or will he find himself at the mercy of another Sith?

Star Wars Omnibus: Rise of the Sith On sale January 14. 448 pages.

Before the name of Skywalker -- or Vader -- achieved fame across the galaxy, the Jedi Knights had long preserved peace and justice . . . as well as preventing the return of the Sith. Collected in this newest Star Wars Omnibus are tales leading up to The Phantom Menace. First -- previously uncollected and out of print -- Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi save a sinking ship in The Aurorient Express and investigate an unexpected death in Last Stand on Ord Mantell. The origins of bounty hunter Aurra Sing are revealed in "Aurra's Song." Then, in Jedi Council and Prelude to Rebellion we follow two key Jedi Masters, Mace Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi as they face new foes that will try the Jedi ways to the very limit. And finally, in Darth Maul, the terrifying Sith apprentice leaves a trail of death in his efforts to keep the secrets of his Master.

Star Wars: Vector Volume 1, Chapters 1 & 2 Written by John Jackson Miller and Mick Harrison; Pencils by Scott Hepburn, Douglas Wheatley, and Dave Ross; Inks by Joe Pimentel and Dan Parsons; Colors by Michael Atiyeh and Dave McCaig; Cover by Travis Charest. On sale January 28. 144 pages.

"Vector," an event with repercussions for every era and every hero in the Star Wars galaxy, begins here! In Chapter One Knights of the Old Republic Volume Five, a terrible vision reaching far into the future alerts the secret Jedi Covenant to the importance of Taris. They activate operative Celeste Morne. She encounters a monstrous threat, an ancient Sith artifact, an army of Mandalorians, and Zayne Carrick, the Padawan accused of killing his fellow students!

Then, over 4,000 years into the future, Chapter Two of "Vector" -- Volume Three of Dark Times -- crosses into the period immediately following the events in Revenge of the Sith. The unfortunate misfit crew of the Uhumele is thrown into the path of Darth Vader and the now, ancient Jedi Master, Celeste! Both Sith and smugglers will not leave this meeting without grave consequences . . .

For anyone who never knew where to start with Star Wars comics, "Vector" is the perfect introduction to the entire Star Wars line!

Hello everyone,

I hope this email finds you well.

I've made a special effort to reach out to as many folks as possible this week, partly because we're thrilled with the second part of our Robert Watts interview - which was great fun to do and came out a cracker - and also to spread the word about the excellent The Clone Wars press screening we attended in London's Vue Cinema on Leicester Square, courtesy of those good people at Warner Brothers (thanks guys, much appreciated).

We also posted a second Setnin Video at the start of the week, featuring myself and Louis drinking a very full and rich red wine and basically talking nonsense for an hour as well as making subtle changes and expansions to the site, which includes welcoming a new member to the site, Liane Bowen, in preparation for our soon to come costuming section.

(Oh, and I bought my wife Bex a website - www.starwarswidows.co.uk - so keep an eye out for that)

In addition we welcome back to the site Jonathan Hicks, a writer who is making in-roads into the writing scene with his book Those Dark Places, as he brings us a new section A Long Time Ago…

So far, up to the weekend just gone Lightsabre has had over 300,000 visitors to the site, with almost a million page hits, figures we're frankly stunned by. We've made a lot of friends over the 9 years of the site, and it's in large part to them that I say thank you for helping get the word out there and helping us bring in these new visitors. This site is a special passion for me and it means a lot that so many folks are willing to help out and be a part of what we do.

Tomorrow we announce our Robot Chicken Star wars competition winners, as well as launching our The Clone Wars Visual Guide competition, in association with Dorling Kindersley Books. Get across to the site and check it out, and look out for some intersite promoting very soon (cheers Adam, great idea there)

Finally, coming next week we have our interview with Trevor Lloyd of the UK Garrison, the next chapter of Louis Turfrey's Setnin Star and much, much more from the world of Star Wars and the Setnin Sector.

Grab some email addresses, drop your fellow webmasters, costumers, artists, PR, film maker or editor a line, introduce yourself and start some friendships because after all, that's by far the best thing about this whole internet endeavour.

All the very best to you and yours,

Mark Newbold
