China. Previous to Epic, Paul served as Executive Vice President, Production at
Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Shanghai, where he managed the production of titles
in the Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, and Rainbow Six franchises among many
others. In 1997 he began his career as the President and Co-founder of Sinister

| Star Wars Insider
#118 |
 The Official Star Wars Site has announced Star Wars Insider #118.
You may remember getting a peek of Starkiller on the cover of the latest issue
of Star Wars Insider last week when we previewed Titan's new advertising
campaign. There are now three covers coming for the next issue: a text-free
version shipping out to subscribers, a newsstands edition with text on the
cover, and a text-free alternative for comic stores only. Here's some what's
inside this issue.
- The cover story reveals secrets behind the mystery-shrouded follow-up to the
blockbuster Star Wars video game release of 2008. Star Wars: The Force
Unleashed II is among the most anticipated video games of the year, and
Insider provides truly inside access.
- Legendary actor James Earl Jones talks about his iconic role as the voice of
Darth Vader.
- Star Wars Insider catches up with actor Hugh Quarshie to look back on
his role as Captain Panaka in Episode I.
- A trivia-packed look back at Season Two of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
- Jonathan Rinzler, author of the forthcoming Star Wars: The Making of The
Empire Strikes Back book, peers closely into the corridors of Cloud City.
- This issue counts down to Star Wars Celebration with a
behind-the-scenes look at Celebrations past.
This issue is also filled with all the fan-favorite departments: Launch Pad
scours the Internet for some of the most eye-catching and off-beat Star
Wars news, Interrogation Droid puts wampa ice monster Howie Weed in the hot
seat; My Star Wars gives Warwick Davis a platform to talk about the saga;
Star Wars Retro celebrates Yoda collectibles; Bantha Tracks lets
stormtroopers lose in Manhattan and Red Five features Dave Filoni's must-sees
for fans of animation.
All this and much more is in Star Wars Insider #118 which hits
newsstands on June 15th. |

| Secret Lucasfilm
Project |
Animation Express has
an interesting interview with Heather Brown, a recruiter for Lucasfilm
Singapore. In the interview she states that "Lucasfilm Singapore had recently
been to India and the good news is that they are working on a top secret CGI
feature film project." Now we all know that ILM does work for many movies, but
since this is the animation team from Lucasfilm Singapore, does that mean the
potential for something Star Wars? Hmmm... Be sure to read the entire interview. It is very interesting.

| The Clone Wars
Season 3 |
Ashley Eckstein was recently
interviewed in the video "A Walk in the Park with Ashley." In this video she
stated that Season 3 of The Clone Wars will have some "connections" with the
Original Trilogy. When asked if it was people, places, or things she gave a bit
of a smirk but wouldn't comment further. I am looking forward to seeing what
Dave Filoni brings to the screen in the next season. It will be a long summer!
