Movies Section
Updated |
Today I have loaded a Fan Film
called "Duel" in the
Movies Section. This film is not to be confused with
another Fan Film we host also called Duel. This piece is presented more like a
trailer for an upcoming film, but this is the film. It focuses on a Jedi and a
pair of Sith that do battle on a remote planet. This film was created in 2003. I
think the effects were very well done and the camera work is good. Be sure to go
have a look!

Featured Artist
Craig Burt-Painting by Numbers |
Featured artist Craig Burt has
agreed to work on a new section for Galactic Voyage! Periodically, he will take
sketches from his paintings and art work and provide us with a look into how the
picture came about. The new section will be called Painting by Numbers. Here is
some of the article created by Craig:
Naboo BooBoo
This series was a long time in the making - hell, almost five
years. Well sort of. That was about the time I started doing Star Wars
paintings. There where suggestions made to me before this to do a segment like
this, but its taken 'till now for me to do it. I've decided that since most of
the work I do today is commissions for RPG websites - leaving not much new work
for Galactic Voyage - that this would be a way to provide something to GV. So,
weather you be interested or be bored by it, be here!
I won't be doing
these segments in any sort of order, but I will start with this one for the
obvious reason.
On to the painting.......
Be sure to read all about Naboo
BooBoo in the Featured Artist section
and a big thank you to Craig Burt for agreeing to do this special feature for
Galactic Voyage! Enjoy! |

Target
Exclusive-Rogue Two Snowspeeder with Zev Senesca |
A new snowspeeder is on the
horizon and not only is it a Target exclusive, but it features Zev Senesca. This
is a figure that Hasbro has not previously released!
Here is the text from the back of the package:
The morning Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are stranded in the
middle of a Hoth blizzard, Zev departs Echo Base and embarks on a sweeping
search for the Rebels. After making audio contact with Captain Solo, Zev calls
back to Echo Base to announce, "I've found them!"
Sadly, Rogue TWO is shot down by enemy crossfire during the battle of
Hoth, but his selfless contributions to the Rebel Alliance will never be
forgotten.
This snowspeeder has an opening canopy, retractable landing gear, swiveling
tail gun, and opening airbrakes. It is currently scheduled to ship to your local
Target stores in July. Be on the lookout for this one! If you would like yours
now, you can spend the cash over at eBay here. |
