Would anybody like to have their home built lightsabers featured in a

In particular, we need a few unique lightsabers with their own look

Oh, and dark and light Jedi's too!

NEWS: Star Wars® Legacy of the Force: Tempest by Troy Denning COMING SOON

STAR WARS: DARTH BANE: PATH OF DESTRUCTION Once the Sith order teemed with followers. But their rivalries divided them in endless battles for supremacy. Until one dark lord at last united the Sith in the quest to enslave the galaxy–and exterminate the Jedi. Yet it would fall to another, far more powerful than the entire Brotherhood of Darkness, to ultimately realize the full potential of the Sith, and wield the awesome power of the dark side as never before. Since childhood, Dessel has known only the abuse of his hateful father and the dangerous, soul-crushing labor of a cortosis miner. Deep in the tunnels of the desolate planet Apatros, endlessly excavating the rare mineral valued throughout the galaxy, Dessel dreams of the day he can escape–a day he fears may never come. But when a high-stakes card game ends in deadly violence, Dessel suddenly finds himself a wanted man. On the run from vengeful Republic forces, Dessel vanishes into the ranks of the Sith army, and ships out to join the bloody war against the Republic and its Jedi champions. There, Dessel's brutality, cunning, and exceptional command of the Force swiftly win him renown as a warrior. But in the eyes of his watchful masters, he is destined for a far greater role in the ultimate Sith plan for the galaxy-if he can prove himself truly worthy. Click here to read more. Click here for author events. Click here to read an excerpt from the book. Interview with Drew Karpyshyn author of STAR WARS DARTH BANE Question: How has your work in computer games influenced your writing? Drew Karpyshyn: The most obvious influence comes from my work on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. In researching the game I developed a real appreciation for the extended Star Wars universe; I became fascinated with the sheer depth and volume that existed beyond the movies. Being drawn into this world was the first big step towards writing Path of Destruction. More generally speaking, I find that working in computer games has helped me better understand the concepts of agency and motivation. In game writing you tend to focus on presenting your story in a way that motivates players to make choices, then allows them to act on those choices. I like to think my non-game writing takes this principle and applies it to my characters, giving them strong motivations and more dynamic personalities. Since story is often about character, strong characters with drive and purpose help deliver a stronger overall story. Q: What are the differences between writing for games and writing novels? Do you have any preference? DK: While there are a lot of similarities, I find there are a couple major differences between the two genres. The first is in the final product: games (at least, BioWare games) tend to have a much broader and far-reaching scope than any novel. Take Kotor: we had nine major characters who could join the party, hundreds of people you could meet and roughly 500,000 words of dialog – about the equivalent of 5 full novels. However, because the player is in control of major sections of the story, a game is forced to deal with things on a more superficial level. We don’t know what order players are going to visit our worlds, or which choices they are going to make. Because of this, we sacrifice complexity to maintain control of the story. Conversely, in a novel the author has complete control. Every move by every character is known well in advance, allowing the author to spin a very complicated, intricate story that digs way, way down into the core of the major characters. In short, games are wide and far reaching but the story tends to stay more on the surface, while novels are much more limited in focus but incredibly deep. The second difference has to do with the actual creative process. A novel is a very individual effort: the author sinks or swims on his or her own merits alone. I did get a lot of help from my editors, but in the end the book is quite clearly a reflection of my own personal vision. A game involves creative input from hundreds of people: artists, designers, programmers, animators, writers, etc. The end product is a reflection of a group vision, with every person contributing in their own way. In a game, you sacrifice some creative control for the sense of community that comes from sharing and building your ideas with other talented and creative people. Q: Is Path of Destruction the first of a series? Will we see more of Darth Bane? DK: I hope so! Without giving anything away, I can honestly say Bane’s saga doesn’t end with the events of the book. I’d love to spend more time with the character, but that’s not really my call. I hope fans feel the same way, and if Path of Destruction generates a demand for more Darth Bane, maybe the powers that be will tap me on the shoulder once again. Q: The Rule of Two—talk about putting all your eggs in one basket! How can a system that relies on there being only two Sith in the entire galaxy at any time hope to survive? A single accident would be enough to wipe out the entire order forever, and being adept in the Force doesn't immunize one against accidents. DK: You have to be careful not to oversimplify the Rule of Two. On the surface it’s basic and straightforward, but this is a philosophy that helped to shape the course of galactic history. There are levels below the surface, and a greater depth and complexity than first meets the eye. I don’t want to give too much away, as I do explore this in the book, but one element that is critical to the philosophy but may not be readily apparent is a belief in the power of the Force and its ability to enhance the power of the individual. An accident *could* wipe you out, but if you are worthy of being a Sith Master you have to believe you are strong enough to shape your destiny through the dark side so that there are no accidents. The fact that this philosophy kept the Sith line alive for over a thousand years is a pretty strong argument that there is some merit to it. Click here to read more.

On January 1, 2007, denizens of a galaxy far, far away will march down the streets of Pasadena, California, in a one-of-a-kind "Star Wars Spectacular" during the 118th Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade®. More than 350 Star Wars characters, including stormtroopers, Imperial officers, Ewoks and Darth Vader himself will entertain the nearly one million people expected to line the streets of Pasadena to see the Parade in person and the tens of millions of more around the world who tune in via multiple television broadcasts. The massive Imperial stormtrooper contingent will comprise members of the international 501st Legion, a costuming and volunteer organization made up of Star Wars fans. Some 200 stormtroopers from more than 20 countries will participate in the Tournament of Roses Parade, showcasing the emblems and colors of their local garrisons. "During the global premiere of Star Wars: Episode III last May, George Lucas was deeply impressed by the presence of 501st Legion members around the globe, and we wanted to honor them for their loyal support of Star Wars and their global philanthropy," said Tom Warner, Senior Director of Marketing for Lucasfilm Ltd. Members of the 501st regularly volunteer their time to support local charitable efforts. Read more about the 501st in this article. Providing musical entertainment in the "Star Wars Spectacular" will be the renowned Grambling State University Tiger Marching Band. In keeping with this year's Parade theme "Our Good Nature," the "Star Wars Spectacular" will feature the Ewoks, residents of the forest moon of Endor, who will ride on a float showcasing their planet's unique environment with a plea to "Save the Trees." The celebration of Star Wars -- which coincides with the start of the 30th anniversary of the epic, six-episode adventure -- will also showcase a float that depicts the romantic beauty of Naboo, the garden planet of the Star Wars galaxy. "Being part of a grand tradition like the Rose Parade is a fantastic way to kick off this milestone year," Warner said. Over Memorial Day Weekend 2007, a large fan convention, Star Wars Celebration IV, is expected to attract more than 30,000 worldwide fans to the Los Angeles Convention Center.     starwars.com at Comic-Con 2006 Continuing a 30-year tradition begun in 1976, Star Wars again takes center stage at Comic-Con International 2006.

As the multi-talented artist who provided the voice and real world reference for the computer-generated prequel character Jar Jar Binks, actor Ahmed Best used his expertise in physical comedy for the role. In addition to his dance training, Best says that he drew most of his inspiration from comedic icons both real and imaginary. "The major influence for Jar Jar was a lot of Buster Keaton -- his moves and antics," Best says. "But as far as comedy and timing, for me it was Bugs Bunny. That's where I got most of my comic timing. I'm a big Bugs Bunny fan, and a lot of the reactions and looks would come from the whole Looney Tunes kind of feel. But when we first started doing it, George Lucas wanted a Buster Keaton-like character for Episode I. And there were a couple of Buster Keaton movies that we were inspired by for some of the scenes, especially in the army scene in Episode I -- the final battle with the droids and the Gungans." More than just comic relief, Best believes Jar Jar manages to exhibit many laudable traits. "I think his greatest quality is his honesty," Best says. "Whether you like the character or not, he is what he is. There are no pretenses, and there is nothing else other than what he is. He just wants to do good all the time, and he's not a character that has any secrets or a dark side." Having the one character known completely for his dark side as a close friend isn't easy. "It's hard to say what Jar Jar thinks of Anakin because he has been with Anakin ever since he was nine years old," Best explains. "And he's seen Anakin grow up to discover his powers and lose his family. They've been kind of like, dare I say, brothers, in the whole struggle. So when Anakin was being influenced by Palpatine, I'm sure Jar Jar was a bit put off, maybe a little scared for Anakin, maybe a little protective. But there's really nothing that Jar Jar could do about it."     Visit to Rancho Obi-Wan #3 Game on with Steve Sansweet as we visit Rancho Obi-Wan's Star Wars arcade! Searching Star Wars with Yahoo!

When actor Rohan Nichol first stepped foot on the Episode III set in Sydney, Australia, he was thrilled to be playing Captain Antilles -- he just wasn't sure which one. "Because I'm such a huge Star Wars fan, I already knew Alderaan is a peaceful place and that it was destroyed in A New Hope," Nichol says. "My research basically consisted of reading a few things about Alderaan, and about Princess Leia and that sort of thing. But the rest of it is actually within me, because I'm of the generation that grew up with those films. So when I got the role of Captain Antilles I initially thought, 'Oh man, I'm going to be an X-wing fighter pilot! And he's the man; he survives. He's great!'" It wasn't until he arrived on the Sydney set that he understood he'd be playing Captain Raymus Antilles, owner of R2-D2 and C-3PO. "I honestly thought I was playing a younger version of Wedge. Either way, it's been an honor!" Though the role wasn't a major part in Revenge of the Sith, Nichols was excited to share the screen with actors Jimmy Smits (Bail Organa) and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO). "The first scene that I was in, basically I'm reporting to Bail Organa, and just letting him know that we've located a Jedi homing beacon," Nichol says. "And it wasn't without a bit of a scrap up -- I'm sort of cut up a little bit. When I say it, my character is kind of stunned that the clones seem to be directionless; they don't have a leader. And so Senator Organa tells me that we'd better intercept the Jedi before the clones regroup. In the second scene basically Organa entrusts R2-D2 and C-3PO to my care, and tells me to treat them well, and that he wants C-3PO's mind erased." One of Nichol's favorite memories of his role was turning an accidental shaving incident into a detail that built character. "I came on to the set and I had a bit of a nick on my chin from shaving," Nichol recalls. "The nick was being very troublesome and it wouldn't stop bleeding, so it had formed an annoying mark. So when I met George Lucas on the set, I apologized for the nick and he said jokingly that I must have gotten it in the Clone Wars! I said, 'That's right, I did!' And that moment made me realize how relaxed Lucas was as a director. For a guy who's got a lot on his shoulders, he's always prepared. I suppose that comes with having a system of people around you who you've done stuff with for ages. Everyone knows their job; everyone knows what the score is. It really was a pleasantly surprising experience."     Star Wars Fan Films Audience Choice Polls Now Open Vote for your favorite Star Wars fan film today!

Last week's release of the hardcover novel Betrayal kicked off the start of Legacy of the Force, a nine-book series published by Del Rey Books. Eager fans of Star Wars expanded universe literature dove into this new era of adventure, set 40 years after the events of A New Hope. Those Hyperspace members that tore through the book the quickest began posting their thoughts on blogs.starwars.com. Here's a sample: "It's like reading something out of the classics--it just can't go wrong. And this one didn't. Not even a bit. I was worried, though, when Vergere was mentioned and those weird 'shades of gray' implications of the Force started rising to the surface (didn't we already go over this?), but I got over it. Jacen's decision turned out to be much, much more interesting and in the end, more of an ambiguity (... I can't decide who I believe!) that should prove to be fruitful no matter which direction he ultimately goes. Trust me when I say I'll be following his career as a yo-yo of anticipation. I just can't believe everyone's all grown up..." -- Mara Jade © "Allston has written quite the page-turner. I had an extremely hard time putting it down. The most interesting thing about this book, though, is that the book could also be considered a prologue to Dark Horse Comics' upcoming Legacy series, set 100 years afterward. To quote Yoda, 'Always in motion is the future.' But, I believe that at least one of the discussions that characters have in this book definitely foreshadows and telegraphs events in that upcoming comic." -- Jedivan2 "It definitely felt like the beginning of something big. The story was interesting; the characters were perplexing and very human (both good things); and the events seemed important. I'm very glad I hopped on board Legacy right now, rather than waiting to finish all the other books first." -- rj_peters "Comparisons with [Episode III] can be found throughout the novel, though most notably in its final, dark, epic chapters. As with RotS, Betrayal opens with something a little lighter: a Jedi mission, in which we find both Jedi action drawing on the tone of the prequels, and some classic Allston humor ... But, drama is here in spades, too, with so many action sequences I've lost count." -- Borma Feng Perhaps the most noteworthy post came from the author of the book, Aaron Allston. He is the newest VIP member of the blogs.starwars.com community. In his first blog, he discusses the use of humor in storytelling, and how the label "comedy" is often misapplied: "Humor, again as I define it, operates under different laws. Sure, humor is about laughter, but I consider it to derive from the situation rather than to define the situation... Here's an example not related to my work. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones fights through obstacle after obstacle to rescue Marion. Being confronted with one last, huge, sword-wielding opponent, he casually shoots the man dead. This is funny... but it's not comedy. It's a moment bookended by action and death. It elicits a laugh, yes, but the moment obeys realistic rules, doesn't impose comedic rules, and doesn't alter the tension of Indy's situation." -- Allston A Star Wars blog is just one of many perks of membership in the Official Star Wars Fan Club.

Has anyone attended the Sci-Fi expo in Plano, Tx?  I was thinking about
going to it in July.  It is going to be expensive and I just wanted to

wanted to know what exactly is there to do at the convention. And, I am
sorry if my question sounds stupid...

I checked out the web-site for Park Sabers and they looked cool. So I
bought one.  I hope it is worth the money I paid for it.  I really like
that you can pull off the blade and can use the saber as a prop for
your costume.

Subject: Anakin Costume

I'm looking for detailed pics and info on Anakin's costume. I'm
making my friend a series of very authentic costumes and want
descriptive details. These look much easier than LOTR costumes, but I
still want as much detail as I can find. I looked back thru posts but
didnt see anything with pics (or overlooked it if it was there). Does
anyone know what kind of material for the cloak and vests?
