Challenge |
The Official Star Wars Site has
announced the Star Wars Puzzle Challenge! Featuring over 50 virtual
jigsaw puzzles from all six movies and The Clone Wars series, Star
Wars Puzzle Challenge allows you to break out dozens of different Star
Wars puzzles without ever losing a piece!
With a host of customizable settings -- including difficulty level (puzzle
piece-count), locked or rotatable pieces, and even piece shape -- you can tailor
your puzzle-building experience and even ask for a hint or a "ghost" image of
the completed puzzle to help you along!
Head on over to Star Wars Puzzle Challenge to get started, and look for
more puzzles to be added in the future!
I have the original puzzle listed below and I hate that it is missing a
couple of pieces. Now I can do it online! They could have left the pink lasers
though.

Jedi Kerra Holt prevented the destruction of the mining colony of Chelloa . .
. but she also began a Sith-on-Sith war, and the colony is in the middle!
Complete annihilation has not come to the planet of Chelloa by the hand of Sith
Lord Odion, but a war between him and his rival brother, Lord Daiman, might not
leave much of the planet for either of them to rule. It's up to Kerra to find
the advantage in the rivalry between the two Sith.

Revenge of the Sith, Darth Vader must set aside his past and put his
future on hold for a mission to the mysterious Ghost Nebula to locate -- and if
possible, rescue -- a missing Imperial expeditionary force.
But what seems a perfect opportunity to lose himself in his duty is
complicated by two factors: he is paired with a willful yet highly competent
co-commander, and the officer they are being sent to locate is the son of
Vader's rising nemesis, Moff Tarkin.
Star Wars: Legacy -- War #2 (of 6) Written by John
Ostrander; Pencils and cover by Jan Duursema; Inks by Dan Parsons; Cover by Brad
Anderson On sale January 26th. 40 pages.

against the Sith, he plots to use the enemy's own devices against them --
regardless of the cost in innocent lives.
Meanwhile, Cade Skywalker has a plan to draw out Darth Krayt for a showdown,
a Sith spy within Fel's ranks is revealed, and Fel's own spy meets her fate!
Star Wars: The Old Republic Volume 1 -- Blood of the Empire
Written by Alexander Freed; Pencils by Dave Ross; Inks by Mark McKenna;
Colors by Michael Atiyeh; Cover by Benjamin Carré 96 pages. On sale March
2nd.
After hundreds of years, the Sith Empire has returned to the galaxy,
determined to crush the Republic that sent them into exile. For young Sith Teneb
Kel, it is his only chance to rise above his lowly beginnings as a slave and
prove his worth to the Dark Council. Yet their mission for him is unexpected. He
will not hunt Jedi, but rather a fellow Sith -- the Emperor's apprentice!
The release of The Old Republic promises to be a Star Wars
event of the highest order, a game-changing moment that will mobilize legions of
fans to explore a never-before-seen piece of the Star Wars
mythology! |
