Today I have officially opened Guy Lagacé's section entitled
George's
Visions. This is the first image for this section and was Guy's vision of
Count Dooku. Notice the double sabers which were eventually cut from the final
product of Attack of the Clones. This is a beautifully done scene and remember,
that these scenes were created before we had details of things to come. Be sure
to also see other great artists in the Featured
Artists section. Enjoy!
Today's video clip comes from Game

Our good friend Mark from Lightsabre and
CaptainSithPark have informed us of a new Fan Film that needs your help! The
request comes directly from our SWORA Ambassador Richard LeParmentier known best to you all as
Admiral Motti from Star Wars: A New Hope.
The concept for the film script came from the fans. I’ve been asked many
times by fans, “Did Motti escape the Death Star?”
I started replying that Motti did escape and Vader sent Captain Piett to
find me.
The whole project grew out of fans at Q&A’s.
As a great fan of
Apocalypse Now I started embellishing the answers and the idea was firmly
planted. There is also an important footnote; George Lucas was very involved
with Apocalypse, he was going to direct it at one point.
As a fan of
Troops and numerous other Star Wars fan films I wrote a draft of the script and
showed it to several fellow actors who liked it.
The production values
were always going to be high so the project didn’t progress until a serious Star
Wars fan offered to back it.
The project didn’t get past pre-production
because the backer’s wife had no idea her husband was such a huge fan. When she
discovered his vast collection of Star Wars memorabilia, his armor, cancelled
checks for numerous conventions and the email offering to put up seven thousand
dollars to make Motti Now, she threatened divorce.
He quite rightly
pulled out of the film.
He has never attended another convention and his
fate remains a mystery...
The option of having the film animated then
presented itself. I thought it would be great to have actors from Star Wars do
the voices.
Some of the voice tracks and some of the sound effects have
now been recorded.
Ken Colley has reprised his role as Captain
Piett.
I voiced Motti and Jerome Blake, who does the best Vader
impersonation, has recorded Vader.
Garrick Hagon and Jeremy Bulloch are
lined up to do Troopers 3 and 4. We plan to add more actors from the
films.
If anyone can help with animation contacts or anything else please
get in touch with me via the site.
We would like to see Motti Now
completed.
Best wishes,
Richard LeParmentier
As you can see, Richard and Lightsabre are looking out for animators to help
develop this project. It's a purely fan based venture, but whoever opts to take
this project forward will be animating the voices of the ORIGINAL actors who
voiced their characters in A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, as well as
the men who portrayed Boba Fett, Biggs Darklighter, Mas Amedda and many
more.
Kalvin from SWCCMTY sent in their complete
review of the first midnight sale of Hasbro Mexico and Julio Cepeda Toystore in
Monterrey Mexico. Be sure to see all the
pictures and video from the festivities!
I have returned from several days
