Star Wars Action News #10 Available For Download!!

From Reviewstarwars.com:

 

The 10th episode of Star Wars Action News has been posted, two hours early! This episode is so important it had to be released early, because if you listen Tuesday you've already missed the boat! The last Star Wars movie is on DVD and every store is trying to cash in with their own various exclusives and promotions. This week, Marjorie & Arnie go through all the major Star Wars Episode III DVD offers. Which stores are giving you stuff for FREE? Which stores have the hard to find exclusives which will have you kicking yourself for missing? Which stores are having costume contests and parties? Halloween night the ghouls won't be out, but the Star Wars collectors will and this show will let you know where to find them! Marjorie and Arnie sit down to cut through the Sunday morning ad hype and determine which stores are worth hitting at midnight, 6 a.m., or 8 a.m. on November 1st. http://www.reviewstarwars.com

ROTS a few days early!

Yoda027 was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Revenge of the Sith on DVD and spent last night watching both disks in his home theatre, read his mini review below:

 

When I found my copy of ROTS waiting for me today when I got home, I had one thing on my mind and that was to settle in for a great night! I decided to start with the bonus disk and I was not disappointed, it was all I could have wanted and more! "Within a Minute" will give you a whole new perspective on what it really  takes to make a great film and should not be missed (running time of that feature alone is almost 80 minutes).

 

The deleted scenes were as we were told they would be last month and included the option to have with Intros from Lucas or not. There are also plenty of candid moments from Lucas in the 6 hour plus bonus disk, as well as other cast and crew members. I have yet to dive into the DVD-ROM or web features, but that's what the weekend is for!

 

Check out some snapshots from Yoda027 below:

 

 

 

 

'Whose 'Star Wars' is it, anyway?

From CNN.com:

The story is over when Lucas says it is! A colleague here at work refuses to buy the DVD of "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" when it goes on sale Tuesday. He's convinced tinkering with "Star Wars" won't end until George Lucas is dead. That's too bad. He'll miss the new shock ending, in which Luke wakes up on Tatooine and it turns out that the whole six-movie series was a dream....

'Star Wars' exhibit explores a galaxy not so far away!

From CNN.com:

It's a "Star Wars" fan's dream -- the first public display of props and costumes from all six films in the series, including a replica cockpit of Han Solo's asteroid-battered Millennium Falcon. But the $5 million exhibit goes beyond entertainment and turns "Star Wars" into a educational tool for science and technology, fields in which U.S. dominance faces a challenge from a new generation of engineers in Asia.....

A Message from KillerToys.com

Joe from KillerToys.com wanted me to pass on the message that they were hit VERY hard by Hurricane Wilma, Joe and everyone else at Killertoys are without power, water and hot food. Our main warehouse at Killertoys took a pretty good beating and they are not yet sure how much stuff was lost. The good news is that they have a staffer on a plane to NY as I type that will be processing orders and we are getting products from some other online/brick and mortar vendors to fill all orders. They ask that all of there valued customers can be patient with them and understand that they have one person who will be working about 14hrs a day to answer emails, process orders and get products shipped to customers as soon as they can.

Wattographs' renewed emphasis on signings continues to gain momentum! We've added signings with THREE new signers this month, including two who have NEVER done an autograph signing previously! These will be Wattographs'-exclusive signings.

First up is the never-seen-in-the-U.S. Alan Harris, who played Bossk in The Empire Strikes Back. Harris doesn't like to fly, so you won't see him at any conventions outside of the European continent.

Second in line will be Mark Dodson, who voiced the obnoxious Salacious Crumb in Return of the Jedi. Mark has only been "discovered" recently for his contribution to the Star Wars universe and we're pleased that we will be his first-ever organized signing and another exclusive from Wattographs!

The blockbuster in the deal was Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, which Spike TV will get in the first network window in April, 2008. That's the earliest window a cable network has ever landed to a "Star Wars" movie; the first five titles began their TV life on the Fox Network.

No ship or Clone trooper. Also found a pretty cool Star Wars Popcorn tin at my Everett, Wa. Toys R Us. The Everett Wa. Target had the Lego Space Battle pack, and Toys R Us has their exclusive Lego set in that has the Arc Fighter, Tri-Droid Fighter, a mystery mini either Anakin's Fighter or Arc Fighter, a poster and a Cd disc.

 

From Raal930: Just thought that I would let you know that I went to Target as soon as they opened and the only thing I found there was the Lava Reflection figures and there was not many of them there at all. As for the others, I could not find any of them !

 

From GummiWorm: I hit 4 local Targets and not a darn one has anything new, the only good thing was that everthing was 10% off so I picked up a few more clones for my armies!

If the reader that sent us the below e-mail was right, then today is the day to hit the local Targets! So far we have mixed reports. Some found everything but the Shadow Trooper and some found zilch! Be sure to let us know what you find today

Below info from a Target Employee who asked to be referred to as only "Ken":

 

I have seen the reports the last few weeks on your site of the upcoming figures and ships and from what we were told, we are not allowed to pull them out for anyone, even if they ask by the DCPI  so if people are getting them that way, they are lucky because we were told not to.  The agenda is that the overnight crew is to put them out on the night of the 15th for sale on Oct 16th. We have 4 boxes of each in the back as of now but cant put them out. I dont know if this is a nationwide date or not because the boxes are not marked with a date, but that is what we were told.  Also, we didnt get the Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter so I dont know if he will be out on the 16th or not.

 

Thanks Ken! So it looks like the best bet to find the latest Target Exclusives is this Sunday, the 16th! Be sure to let us know if you score these this weekend!

From Reviewstarwars.com:

 

This week we "stay on Target" with a look at the Target exclusives this year, with special focus on the recent rash of Target exclusive figures and vehicles. How many is too many? How rare is too rare? Also there is a new entry to the Star Wars Christmas Ornaments which have long been dominated by Hallmark. What are these new ornaments, and are they worth buying? We evaluate the merits of both these new ornaments and the long-running Hallmark collection. Finally we answer some listener mail, with such topics such as how do we display our collection, do we collect vintage, and have we ever been called "neurotic". Listen to find out.
