The
Future of Hyperspace |
Fans across the
galaxy have enjoyed the exciting news and behind the scenes
goodies that are offered by being an official Star Wars fan via starwars.com's
Hyperspace. In Monday's release of Delta Source there
is a small article ensuring fans that although Revenge of the
Sith will complete the movie saga, Hyperspace will continue to
bring out-of-this-world content in its up-comming third season, as
reiterated here directly from the source:
Exclusive Video Hyperspace has brought its members
Episode III webdocs, trailer previews, exclusive convention video,
DVD previews and other surprises. With the secrets of the final
Star Wars film revealed to the public this May, look for regular
new Hyperspace-exclusive video with the perspective of the entire
saga, archive secrets, plus looks ahead to the future of Star
Wars.
Blogs You're a Star Wars fan, therefore you have
opinions. But how can you let the entire Star Wars community know
what you're thinking? Start a blog! Hyperspace member blogs can be
read by anyone, and starwars.com will be continually spotlighting
best-of-the-best and random content as well, getting your words in
front of millions.
Are you part of a fan group? You can apply for a collaborative
group blog that can become the home page for your force, garrison,
club, society, tribe, clan or squadron. As part of starwars.com,
new members will have new ways to find you.
Look for Hyperspace blogs to debut in May, just in time for
your Revenge of the Sith rants and raves.
Galactic Gallery The sketches, paintings and sculptures
from the minds of the Star Wars concept artists are so magical on
their own, they have spawned museum tours. Hyperspace will take
its readers through a new virtual gallery through all six Star
Wars films, including rare finds from the Lucasfilm archives.
Star Wars Insider Archives Hyperspace members already
have access to the full online archive of Bantha Tracks, the
original Star Wars Fan Club newsletter. Due to popular demand, the
online restoration will continue starting with 1987's first issue
of the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine (renamed Star Wars Insider with
issue #23).
Hyperspace Webcam Episode III production is over, but
the famous webcam refuses to go into retirement. Look for it to
make planned special appearances at the greatest events (like the
Episode III MTV TRL Party at Skywalker Ranch, and Comic-Con 2005)
and the most secret locations (like the Lucasfilm Archives).
... and much more George Lucas hinted at some of his
plans for two Star Wars television series last week at Celebration
III. As production moves forward, Hyperspace is once again
planning to bring its members the best access as the saga breaks
new ground.
Stay tuned for news about more exciting additions, including
exclusive video, exclusive images, trivia contests, leader boards,
video game cheat codes, original fiction, contests, expanded
StarWarsShop.com benefits and more.
Of course, your favorites will still be here: first-look video,
webstrips, celebrity chats, rare fiction, Kessel Mines articles,
rare classic trilogy images, exclusive forums features, Star Wars
email address, "Delta Source" newsletter, and 24-hour
access to the full Episode III content archive.

A
Hero Falls |
STARWARS.COM
has recently released a new music video on their site
which, in my opinion, is the very best Epsidoe III trailer yet to
be released! It showcases the decent of Anakin Skywalker with this
some truly fascinating scenes from the new movie, and a few key
scenes from Episodes I and II near the end. Hardly a true
music-video in the sense of the term, a very teasing and
well orchestrated trailer for the upcomming end of the saga,
none-the-less.
The Dark Side is upon us...

Hasbro
announced last week at Celebration III that they would be opening
a website devoted to their products. Well, today HasbroToyShop.com
has officially opened its virtual doors for business. Having a
hard time finding those certain Star Wars figures? Then this is a
good place to look. They are a little pricy though. Happy hunting! |

Yoda
Diet Pepsi Commercial |
The
Official Star
Wars Site has posted a pretty funny Diet Pepsi commercial that
features Yoda. Somewhere in the Jedi Code, there must be something
written about letting a Jedi Master get a Diet Pepsi. This is not
a Hyperspace item, so click
here to watch the ad and enjoy! |
