Server Issues-No Daily Video Clip

Many of you may have noticed you could not connect to Galactic Voyage for the past couple of hours. My web host suffered a hardware failure, and even though you can now see the site, I am unable to FTP any new files. Therefore, the regularly scheduled Daily Video Clip will have to resume on Monday. See you then!

eFX Is Official

All the speculation and rumors are now over. The Official Star Wars Site has made the official announcement about eFX! Star Wars fans and collectors will find new lines of collectibles from Hasbro, Inc. and newcomer eFX in 2008, it was announced today by Lucas Licensing, a division of Lucasfilm Ltd. Hasbro, Lucas Licensing's master Star Wars toy and game licensee, will assume the design and production of the high-end, collectible electronic lightsabers line, called "Force FX" Lightsabers, which was previously made by Master Replicas.

Hasbro's Force FX lightsaber line will debut in the spring and continues the remarkable popularity of electronic replica lightsabers among Star Wars enthusiasts. The line will feature replicas of the iconic weapons used by Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul and Yoda.

Newly formed eFX will develop, manufacture and distribute collectible, limited-edition replicas of both full-sized and scaled props; studio- and reduced-scale vehicles and ships; full-sized helmets; and high-end, die-cast vehicles and ships that encompass the entire Star Wars universe.

"Working with both Hasbro and eFX allows us to bring Star Wars fans some of the best collectibles we have ever offered," said Howard Roffman, President of Lucas Licensing. "These are incredibly creative, innovative companies with a real passion for Star Wars, and we think it's going to show in the products they offer."

Hasbro expects the first Force FX lightsabers to be available in the spring, while eFX plans to unveil its first products at Comic Con International in San Diego in July.

LucasFilm and eFX Inc. Update!

RebelScum has confirmed my original thoughts about our previous article on eFX! There is now an Official Website (http://www.efxcollectibles.com) that has the logo and states "A New Force To Be Reckoned With! Coming Soon." The new website has Bryan Ono listed as the administrative contact. Who is Bryan Ono? He was a top dog at Master Replicas' Star Wars line. Another thing to consider is that the tease ad stated "Coming 7-23-08". It just so happens to be the preview night at San Diego Comic Con! It looks like we will continue to get those quality Star Wars replicas after all!
