Just to let you all know that we've got a great interview with Nick Gillard on

Gillard done yet about his work on the STAR WARS Prequels which I think you'll
all find very interesting, especially regarding cut scene info..

This is a new story, set between the two cartoon series. This partly concerns
Anakin's
unwanted apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. It leads in to the new TV series, and looks
quite good.

was wondering about the new animated star wars moviefrom the trailers
the movie looks really good. but is it just a
retelling of the clone wars story we have already seen? and didn't they
already do this on the cartoon network, or was that a dream?
I do plan on seeing it though. how many others think they will go see
it?

Peace

Okay, so it's been a while since my last post. Never mind.

So, the Star Wars TV series is set to begin recording next year for a
2009 broadcast. With over 100 hours planned, it could be good, as long
as it doesn't get stale, and I really hope it maintains the style of
the movies rather than going for a cheesy US-sci-fi type approach,
which would ruin it.

Do we want to see an opening crawl on every episode? I think one on
each series would be enough. I think it would be nice to have each
series follow a very specific group of characters that could make
cameos in other series.

What storylines would everyone like to see? I'd love to see Boba go mad
and destory the cloning facilities on Kamino (like a major identity
crisis thing -- maybe he wants to take his face/father back, perhaps
this is why he is never seen unmasked -- the mask IS his face).

Let's share the Star Wars love!

Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles To Mark 30th Anniversary of
Saga

posted - May 26, 2006

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, Lucasfilm Ltd. and
Gen Con LLC will throw the largest party ever for fans of the saga,
taking over the entire Los Angeles Convention Center in May 2007 for
five days filled with live entertainment, celebrities from all six
movies, special film and video presentations, an exhibit of movie
props and costumes, exclusive merchandise sold at a 24-hour-a-day
store, pop culture tributes, immersive events, costume contests, and
scores of additional activities.

Star Wars Celebration IV will fill the L.A. Convention Center from
Thursday, May 24 to Monday, May 28, 2007. Admission to the first day
of the event will be for worldwide members of the Official Star Wars
Fan Club, many of whom will help plan and run special programming
themselves. The convention will be open to the general public from
Friday through Monday, Memorial Day.

"Generations of fans have loved Star Wars, many passing along
the 'Star Wars gene' to their children," said Steve Sansweet,
Director of Content Management and head of Fan Relations for
Lucasfilm. "This is the first chance to celebrate all six movies in
the saga-George Lucas' complete story-as well as the vibrant future
of Star Wars. If you've ever been to one of our Celebrations-or if
you haven't been before-this is the one not to miss."

Celebration III, a four-day event held in Indianapolis in April
2005, attracted more than 34,000 fans from all over the world. "We
started getting questions about a possible Celebration IV even while
the last convention was running," Sansweet noted. "So we're
determined to far outstrip anything we've done before, both in size
and scope, as well as introduce many first-time activities and lots
of exclusives."

Lucasfilm is also working on other Star Wars-related events in the
Los Angeles area just prior to Celebration IV, "so we're expecting
Southern California to become 'Destination: Star Wars' from the
weekend before through Memorial Day weekend," Sansweet said.
The convention announcement was made jointly by Lucasfilm Ltd. and
Gen Con LLC. Gen Con will once again manage the convention on behalf
of Lucasfilm and the Official Star Wars Fan Club. The Celebration IV
announcement is being made a year in advance to give fans worldwide
a chance to plan for a week-long "Destination: Star Wars" blow-out
in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is the ideal site for a 30th Anniversary convention,
Sansweet said, since there are many Star Wars roots in the area. It
was also the location of the first official Star Wars fan gathering,
the 10th Anniversary Convention. Star Wars opened on May 25, 1977,
on just 32 theater screens in North America, including Grauman's
Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

One of the highlights for fans at a Star Wars convention is the
chance to buy unique merchandise, including an exclusive, limited-
edition action figure. Because this has led to bottlenecks and long
lines in the past, the Celebration IV store will be bigger than
ever, self-service, well-stocked with merchandise, have plenty of
check-out lanes...and be open 24 hours a day from the opening of the
show on Thursday until the close on Monday!

"Gen Con is thrilled to be working again with Lucasfilm on this very
special event," said Peter Adkison, owner of Gen Con LLC, producer
of Gen Con Indy and other Gen Con events. "Together I know that we
will produce a convention that will not only meet, but exceed, fans'
expectations. With Lucasfilm 100% behind this show, it's going to be
the biggest party in the history of the franchise. We are
particularly focused on dramatically improving the selection and
service in the Celebration store."

Stay tuned to starwars.com as your primary source for updates about
programming, guests, activities, entertainment and exclusive
merchandise at Celebration IV to be released as they are confirmed
closer to the convention. Online ordering for tickets to the event
and for discounted hotel rooms is scheduled to begin late
summer/early fall. There will also be information on getting around
Los Angeles, traveling to and from the Convention Center, and on
shuttle buses available for convention-goers who are staying in the
city

go with the classic Troops. also other than forcenet, where is a good
place to find star wars fan films? Also what is a good place to find
star wars fan fiction?
