Daily Video Clip

Today's new video clip is a rare look into some of the vintage items that were available in 1978 after the release of Star Wars. Remember, there was no Internet, no DVDs, and not even VCRs! The video features the Give-a-Show Projector and Movie Viewer. The Movie Viewer was the only way to see actual moving scenes from Star Wars. Oh how I wanted one of these. Enjoy!

Kotaku.com has confirmed that LucasArts has laid off 85 out of their 250 employees.

"LucasArts is reorganizing its teams to better address the needs of the internal studio. Unfortunately, this means adjusting staffing," reads a statement from the company. "LucasArts continues to be committed to creating a first-class internal studio – and to fostering relationships with trusted external partners – in order to deliver quality games that amaze and inspire fans."

Lots of reorganization going on. I only hope it equals out to good things for the fans.
