| Guy Lagacé's George's Visions | |
Today I have updated Guy Lagacé's section entitled George's Visions. This is the second image for this section and was Guy's vision of the rain sequence between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett. Guy knew that there was going to be a fight in the rain between them, but that was it. 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!

| Collecting Star Wars Ticket Stubs | |
The Official Star Wars Site has an interesting article about collecting Star Wars ticket stubs. For new collectors, tickets bearing the Star Wars title in are still extremely affordable, since their appeal has not yet been widely recognized. This untapped area of Star Wars collecting has great potential to grow, as fans begin to get nostalgic about the events that have defined their Star Wars experiences over the years. In the case of theater admission tickets, small-town single-screen venues are quickly being replaced by megaplexes, lending some added historical interest to tickets bearing the names of those classic old movie houses. Be sure to read the entire article with some pictures of these stubs from many different events. I have saved my Star Wars ticket stubs through the years. However, one problem has arisen the last several times a Star Wars movie has been shown. The theaters are getting lazy. The last several Star Wars releases, the theaters don't give the actual movie name. They just list it as Star Wars on their marquee and on their ticket stub. So The Clone Wars for example, if you weren't aware of the dates, you wouldn't know which movie event it was. In my mind it makes things less memorable and collectible. | |

| Wattographs Ahmed Best Signing | |
Wattographs has a rare signing coming up! Love him or hate him, Ahmed Best *is* Jar Jar Binks, the bumbling Gungan who ends up saving the day in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. He’s only ever done a few rare appearances, including appearing (and signing in very limited numbers) at Celebration I in 1999 and doing an in-store signing relating to his appearing in Rolling Stone Magazine as Jar Jar. Ahmed has also signed a limited number of trading cards for Topps’ Attack of the Clones card set. Wattographs has arranged a VERY rare signing with Ahmed, which will take place in early October. This signing is scheduled a bit differently than their regular monthly signings. It will begin IMMEDIATELY and all items and orders must be in to us by September 20th. Be sure to head on over to the order page!

| The Star Wars Saga On DVD | |
The Star Wars Saga is being released in two new boxed sets November 4, 2008. Don't get to excited because there is not any new material to be included in these sets. So, the only way you want them is if you don't already have them. So in other words... These are not the DVDs we're looking for... Move along... Move Along...

| Undercity Attends The Clone Wars Portuguese Premiere | |
João Pinto from Undercity Portugal let us know that he attended the Portuguese Premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in Portugal, on the 23rd of August. We received the nice invitation of Columbia-Tristar-Warner Portugal and had the opportunity to make our own review of the film (in Portuguese). The film will be officially released the 28th of August in Portugal, so this was a chance for the Portuguese Fandom to see it before anyone else. All can say is that we loved it and we're sure the countries still waiting for its release will also love it too. It's a whole new Star Wars experience with new grounds to explore. We just can't wait for the television series. Be sure to take a look at their extensive review. | |

| Lightsabre News | |
Our good friend Mark from Lightsabre has provided the latest news from his site. Hi guys, Hope this email finds you well, we have a lot going on over at Lightsabre. First off we bring you our latest interview with Star Wars artist Spencer Brinkerhoff III. Spencer gave generously of his time to fit this in between projects for which we're very greatful. We've added to our staff pages with biographies on our Costuming Editor Liane Bowen and our new site technical advisor Matt Turvey. Matt's a long time friend of the site and brings his technical know-how to Lightsabre in order to help us keep ahead of the game and make the site the best it can be. Speaking of which, check out our new Setnin Radio player, accesible via the Setnin Media dropdown menu. Now all 17 episodes are available at the touch of a button. (well, they were before, but this one looks a lot prettier…:-p We also launch a new video section called NHP Video, which brings a look into the site and related projects. Brought to us by our former RPG Editor Jonathan Hicks we're hoping to have a lot of fun with this as we delve into projects old and new. Coming this week we have the next chapter of Setnin Star by Louis Turfrey, and I'm reliably informed that Paul Squire is writing a short Ryath Centaur story for us, so that should be on it's way soon. All the best guys, have a great week and we'll see you next Sunday for our Ewan Bannatyne Star Wars Books interview and the week after for the final part of our Robert Watts interview, Clear skies, Mark Newbold | |
