"We're starting off small," said a paragraph of modest introductory text, "Just as Star Wars grew, or rather exploded, in the public consciousness, this web site will continue to grow and change. And like the films, our aim is to inform, entertain, surprise and amuse you."

Originally dedicated to the release of the Special Edition Trilogy, starwars.com was at first a slim collection of pages, with each section themed to one of the classic planets. On Dagobah was a Jedi Training Center aimed at kids, with an online coloring book. On Tatooine was the site map, handy for the many visiting web novices. Bespin allowed for email registration, while Hoth simply housed links pointing to other corporate sites: Skywalker Sound, THX and LucasArts. The Death Star was the prime destination. After answering a trivia question, visitors were taken to a growing repository of information on the forthcoming Special Edition release.

In 10 years, the site has ballooned to over 10,000 pages of content, chronicling the production of the prequels in new and unique ways, expanding to cover the activities of publishers and licensees, and building up a huge community of fans through message boards, blogs and more. And there's much more planned for 2007...

Starting in December, look to the site for a series of retrospective articles with insights, interviews and trivia meant to celebrate the first decade of starwars.com.

"Anakin Amour"

This one 'Anakin Amour' was painted a couple of years before the release of ROTS, so it's pretty speculative without any real picture info to go on.

1. Was the start of the idea for the picture. This photo I thought gave a good opportunity to portray the vulnerability and pressure of Padmé bearing the child of Mr. Evil's little project.

2. Is a photo from AOTC. I immediately saw Obi-Wan holding Anakin's lightsaber with this pic.

Be sure to read the rest of the article about "Anakin Amour" in the Painting by Numbers section. Thanks Craig for another great walkthrough of how this image came about! Enjoy!

After a hectic weekend of shopping the brick-and-mortars for holiday gift-giving, why not stop by StarWarsShop on Monday to cash in on some great deals? The employee discount is good until 6pm PST that day, so don't miss it!

Also, don't forget that StarWarsShop is running a Holiday Daily Specials promotion, which significantly discounts the price on two to four products each day between November 20 and December 20. That's one month of discounts (up to 65%!) on a different selection of merchandise every day! Each selection lasts only one day, however, so make sure to grab the items you want fast and keep checking back each day for the latest to go up for sale!

Be sure to click on the banner at the top or left hand side of the main page to start your holiday shopping!

Amazingly, the guys who run the UK convention called "Empire Day" have managed to find the woman who’d played the role of the bounty hunter Zuckuss, Cathy Munroe. She had actually been pretty much assumed dead for some time now, but those rumors are false! She'll be signing in the UK at Empire Day, but unfortunately most of us don’t live there and won't be able to get that in-person signature.

However, Wattographs will be making her EXTREMELY RARE autograph available. This is the first time she's signed to anyone's knowledge. But, you gotta do it ASAP as that con is is on December 3 and the window of opportunity for us to order closes in a week. This is an amazing opportunity to complete any collection of bounty hunter autographs. Due to the abbreviated schedule for ordering, we unfortunately cannot take personal items this time. The URL is at http://wattographs.com/privatesignings/cathymonroe.html. This signing must absolutely end on November 27th, so please do not delay.

If you are into collecting signatures of Star Wars actors and actresses, then this one is for you!
