MB: Barring various gag orders, what ridiculously vague hints can you drop about the rest of season two, and dare I ask, season three?

DF: Hint? Well... lets see, it's always hard to give clues. How about this:
- You're going to see one of the most complex character models we've built to date. What makes it complex? Size matters, let’s put it that way…
- Bounty Hunters make a big comeback.
- Some guys don't have all the luck.

Be sure to read this entire great interview with Dave!

"Yes, you are hearing right. IESB has exclusively learned that George Lucas is currently in pre-production on yet another Star Wars animated series. The key demographic? Pre-School to Kindergarten aged children, yes, the Star Wars: Galactic Heroes will be gracing televisions very soon.

The latest from Lucasland a.k.a. Skywalker Ranch is that a director has been brought on board to direct the new series based on the popular line of toys.

The working title for the TV series is believed to be "Squishies."

Uncle George has always had a soft spot for making more money, hmm, I mean children. No word yet if Cartoon Network or its WB sister companies will be airing the series.

A few years ago, when IESB broke the news that both a live action and an animated TV show were in development, we were quite excited about the possibilities, this one on the other hand, just seems like another way for the Lucas Empire to fill up their piggy banks.

I give an animated Indiana Jones TV series about 2 years before that gets announced."

Now until there is confirmation, I would still call this a rumor, but we had heard about another animated series several months ago. We will see.

Kellogg's in Australia was willing to take a chance on Empire, releasing a set of eight different cut-out masks on the backs of Corn Flakes cereal boxes: Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker, "Bounty Hunter", and C-3PO on the 500g size boxes, and Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Chewbacca, and Yoda on the 750g size. By far the most notable of these is the "Bounty Hunter," a mysterious lizard-like face which looks like it would be more at home on a Saturday morning cartoon than in a Star Wars film. We're guessing this is supposed to be Bossk, which is an interesting choice given the mere seconds of screen time the character saw in the film. Be sure to read the entire article and see some of the masks.

"Based on the TV movie event that will launch season 3 of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series in October 2010, this novel follows a group of clone troopers as they rise through the ranks from cadets, to rookies, and all the way to elite ARC troopers."

Perhaps we will see some Arc Troopers in action in the Season 3 opener. The movie could be another story arc (no pun intended), but hopefully it will be an actual movie. We will just have to wait and see.

Update:

Our friends over at EUCantina have gotten word that Frank Parisi (in charge of the Penguin Young Readers’ Division) stated the mention of a TV movie to launch Season 3 of The Clone Wars was incorrect.

"That information is incorrect, and due to internal miscommunication, it slipped out without being properly vetted."

I believe we will still see a story arc at the beginning of Season 3 like we did for basically both the previous seasons.

Darth Vader is on a mission for the Emperor!

When the Rebellion's hit-and-run attacks on Imperial cargo ships become too audacious to be ignored, Darth Vader is sent in to find the Rebel base and destroy it. But the base, hidden in the center of a constantly shifting asteroid field, cannot be attacked directly.

To reach his target, Vader will have to team up with a recently captured smuggler named Zika -- and dealing with an unwilling, wisecracking partner may be more of a trial for the Dark Lord than the actual mission!

Synopsis: When Senator Onaconda Farr dies under suspicious circumstances, Padmé sets out to find the person responsible for the death of her favorite "uncle."

With our launch of "Empire Chronicles," a new series which explores many of the characters, vehicles, and settings from The Empire Strikes Back, we begin with an in-depth look at one of the film's most unforgettable pieces of military hardware: the All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT for short. We've combed through dozens of sources documenting the creation of this intimidating weapon of the Empire, from early issues of the highly-regarded special effects journal Cinefex to the now-elusive video commentary tracks featured on 1993's Definitive Collection laserdisc set (remember those?). From these we've culled quotes or passages from the individuals directly responsible for conceiving, building, filming, or breathing life into the AT-AT, and have scoured our Image Archives for photos documenting its creation, some of which have rarely been seen.
