Across the fields of Cordova, the morning sun filled the land with its golden light. Above, the empty sky was painted brilliantly with streaks of orange, yellow, and red. The silence of the night was soon broken as the songbirds awoke and [...]
Far in the untamed regions of Wild Space, a small shuttle flies through space towards a bright blue planet. Within it, a Jedi Knight and her padawan sit in awkward silence. [...]
In the "true" ending of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Galen Marek was defeated by the Emperor and allowed the events of Episode IV unfold. In the non-canon "dark side" ending, Marek managed to defeat Darth Vader and unwillingly became the new Sith apprentice to Palpatine. This ending created an "infinities" timeline within the Star Wars Universe, in which the Empire is far stronger.
In the first DLC titled Tatooine, the Apprentice faced against Obi-Wan Kenobi in an attempt to eliminate Luke Skywalker. The latest chapter puts the player on the cold, harsh planet of Hoth, where the Apprentice is once again tasked with eliminating Skywalker and the Rebels.
If this DLC is anything like the rest of the game, its sure to be an exciting and fast pace mission with an ending that is sure to shock.
The Hoth mission is set to be released on the Xbox Live Marketplace on Feb. 23.
A mini statue of Darth Vader made out of recycled metal is selling for $21 million on eBay. The figure also comes with a lightsaber.
If you're a die-hard Star Wars fan, then this is a must for you. Don't bother wasting your money buying an FX Force Lightsaber or an original prop from the set of A New Hope. Feast your eyes on probably the most exquisite sci-fi collectible ever made.
Costing slightly more than a Luke Skywalker nut and bolt figure, this hand crafted item is professionally made and yet it's cheaper than what Avatar grossed worldwide -- about $2.2 billion to date, according to Box Office Mojo.
The seller, nachumro, is serious about the price, according to a YouTube conversation:
However, not everyone agreed with the price. YouTuber nicholas4339 counteroffered to pay slightly lower than the asking price. His comment was ignored and marked as spam.
If you are interested in buying the item, go to the auction on eBay which will end on March 14, 2010. A total of 51 offers have been made and were declined by the seller.
This video sums up the two-hour spin-off into five minutes. Star Wars Holiday Special features appearances from Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Hans Solo (Harrison Ford).
The bizzare story takes place two years after the Battle of Yavin. As to the quality... let's just say it wasn't directed by George Lucas.
eFX is about to release a new replica costing $899. Ralph McQuarrie approved eFX to recreate one of his pre-production designs of the Vader breathing mask from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Jay Kushwara was responsible for sculpting the 2D artwork into a 3D model using a computer. He started working on the project in February 2008. Every detail was looked over to ensure it matched the original piece. The model was featured in San Diego International Comic Con in July 2008 and will be available to the public next month but is limited to only 250 pieces world-wide.
This collectible will be available for pre-sale on Feb. 8, 2010 at 9 a.m. PDT. There will be a $250 non-refundable deposit included to complete the order. The rest of the payment will be deducted once the helmets are in stock which is anticipated to be in late May.
The event is also narrated by Anthony Daniels, who plays C3PO in all of the Star Wars films and The Clone Wars series.
“We’ve taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images,” said George Lucas. “The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams’ creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional aspects of the films.”
“Creating the music for the Star Wars films has been an exciting and wonderful experience for me, and I therefore have derived particular pleasure in assembling a compendium of themes from all of the films to be presented in Star Wars in Concert,” said John Williams, who is composer to many film scores including all Star Wars films. “The editors at Lucasfilm have created original film montages to accompany each of the musical selections, and in the process, I believe that a singular and unique Star Wars experience has been born.”
Once the concert is over, you will be able to visit an exclusive exhibit of Star Wars costumes, props, artifacts, production artwork and specially created behind-the-scenes videos from the Lucasfilm Archives. Most of these pieces are from Skywalker Ranch which have never been shown publicly before. The exhibit features many classic fan favorite artifacts, as well as several new and never-before-seen items, including:
Full costumes for Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon.
Pages from John Williams' original hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.
Never-before-seen props from the films, including blasters and helmets from Coruscant, Tatooine and other locations.
Marc Ecko really knows how to make money off of his fellow Star Wars fans.
Just a few weeks ago, I showed his first line of limited edition jackets, one of which I purchased. Now, he has released a second of line of jackets and shirts with awesome designs. Even the great Darth Vader has a jacket.
They are all a bit pricey, but I mean its Marc Ecko and Star Wars. Any true fan has to be willing to shell out the dough to get their hands on one of these. I DID!

All was quiet in the skies of Bespin. Far in the horizon, the evening sun glowed a blazing orange. The endless clouds swirled quietly in the wind. A herd of velkers flew through the orange gas and headed towards a large shadow hidden in the clouds. As they broke through the clouds, the figure was revealed in the evening light. It was large floating platform with a single tower in its center. The tower was a sight to behold with its silver walls and green-shingled roofing at each level that flared out at the bottom. Around the tower, there was a beautiful garden filled with trees of pink leaves and winding sand paths. The velkers and other creatures of Bespin flew around the tower and filled the platform with life.
