December 27, 2006 (Renton, Wash.) – Leading game developer Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS), today announced, it has reached an agreement with Lucasfilm Ltd. that will allow the Seattle-based company to continue producing the highly popular STAR WARS MINIATURES™ and STAR WARS ROLEPLAYING GAME titles for years to come.

“We are very excited to continue our relationship with Lucasfilm, as it allows us to build on the proven success of our Star Wars brands,” said Casey Reeter, vice president of marketing at Wizards of the Coast. “This deal tells consumers that Wizards of the Coast is committed to bringing the industry’s best Star Wars games to market.”

The new agreement allows Wizards of the Coast to develop new products and expansion sets for its popular STAR WARS MINIATURES game, which now includes the new STARSHIP BATTLES™ vehicles game, as well as STAR WARS ROLEPLAYING GAME, and all related game accessories. 

The STAR WARS MINIATURES game allows players to collect and build squads from hundreds of characters from throughout the Star Wars® universe to compete against another player in head-to-head, skirmish-style battles. Roleplayers can enjoy the STAR WARS ROLEPLAYING GAME, which sets the stage for players to create and star in their own chapter of the Star Wars saga. 

“Star Wars celebrates its 30th anniversary next year, which makes 2007 very special for us,” said Derek Stothard, director of toys at Lucas Licensing. “We are planning some exciting events to commemorate the anniversary, and, we’re looking forward to working with Wizards of the Coast in this banner year.”

Be sure to go visit Wizards of the Coast website for the latest in Star Wars gaming information!

In subsequent production updates we'll be posting images of the finalized cover art as well as sample interior pages.

Thanks for the continued support. We wish you all the best in 2007!

"Padmé Power"

This painting was a bit of fun, really. It comes from the days at Alderaan Online and has our illustrious leader, the man in black (Vader) in it. It takes a lot of time and effort to run a website, so around that time I thought it might be a bit of fun for our leader to be in a painting; which he was thrilled to be. How he survived in the open air without his helmet long enough to take a photo of himself I don't know!

For those of you who were not around during the "good ole days" when there were many really high quality Star Wars Fan Websites, Alderaan Online was one of our strongest affiliate sites and it was the best resource for high quality Star Wars pictures on the Internet. Craig had his gallery of work there until Vader (the webmaster) decided to close the site. Craig then allowed Galactic Voyage to become the new home of his Star Wars art galleries.

Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Padmé Power" in the Painting by Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this image came about! Enjoy!
