Mini-Darth
Vader Talks to Lawmakers
A child better remembered for playing a small
version of “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader used
attempted to use the force on lawmakers this week. Max Page
met with lawmakers on Tuesday to talk to them about children’s
access to health care. He asked that lawmakers defend child
health care in the budget. It’s an issue that’s
close to him since Page was born with a congenital heart defect.
"Can you tell the President this?” he asked them,
“If the budget gets cut, he needs to realize his daughters
might need it." Page is also talking to lawmakers about
the deficit battle. He's asking that no cuts be made to certain
Medicare programs.

A prop designer who made the original Stormtrooper
helmets for Star Wars has won his battle with director George
Lucas over his right to sell replicas.
Andrew Ainsworth, 62, of south London, successfully
argued the costumes were functional not artistic works, and
so not subject to full copyright laws. Judges at the Supreme
Court upheld a 2009 Court of Appeal decision allowing Mr Ainsworth
to continue selling them.
But they also ruled that the director's
copyright had been violated in the US. Mr Ainsworth told the
BBC: "This is a massive victory, a total victory, we've
already got the champagne out." He said he went to court
on a principle and he was not going to allow the director
to "buy his soul".

Peter & Angie Mayhew sign with Hound Kids!
Via Hound Comics:
CEO William 'Brimstone' Kucmierowski announced
today that Hound Comics, Inc. has officially acquired the talent
of Peter and Angie Mayhew as well as former Disney artist Terry
Naughton. The signing of Peter Mayhew, better known to the world
as the man behind the mask of the most lovable Wookiee in the
universe, 'Chewbacca', is a tremendous acquisition for our blossoming
Hound Kids Division.
"We are excited to release 'My Favorite
Giant' and 'Growing Up Giant' which will be dubbed, The Peter
& Angie Mayhew Collection." says Kucmierowski. Star Wars
fanatics will have the opportunity to get inside the mind of Mayhew
and grab an all-access pass through Peter's youth in 'Growing
Up Giant'. Star Wars fans have never before seen this side of
the 7'3” legend. "Even though he [Peter] is very shy,
he readily agreed to share his story when I offered to help him
write it." stated Angie Mayhew.
"I'm glad to be able to tell my story in
a simple format with vibrant illustrations." says Peter Mayhew,
"I truly hope people will be able to gain some form of inspiration
from reading this book, especially those whom may suffer with
similar issues." The quirky artistic style of Dawn DuJour
compliments the intriguing storyline concerning Peter’s
youth.
Yesterday, we showed you some in hand videos of
the Star Wars excluSives from Gentle Giant LTD this year at SDCC,

Coming Soon from Sideshow
-An all-new collectible figure category, Legendary Scale(TM) Figures.
This range features iconic characters from some of Pop Culture's
greatest titles, film and comic alike. Legendary Scale(TM) Figures
offer collectors a unique opportunity to own the seminal representations
of their favorite heroes and villains as immensely impressive
collectibles.
The increased size of Legendary Scale(TM) Figures provides Sideshow
artisans with a larger creative 'canvas,' allowing added detail
and realism in sculpture, paint application and costume fabrication.
The larger sculptural base creates opportunity for pose realism
and greater detail in a character's likeness, facial expression,
and defining features, including skin and hair texture, unique
markings, and scarring. Similarly, the paint application can be
executed with greater precision for more natural shading and subtle
textural details. Larger clothing patterns provide opportunity
for better fit and accuracy in costuming, including greater authenticity
in fabric choices and finishes, and functional pockets, belts,
and closures.
Legendary Scale(TM) Figures offer collectors the most authentic
representations of classic heroes and villains. These icons of
comic, film and television have fueled the collective imagination
for generations of fans, and none are more deserving of the reverence
that these detailed and commanding figures comprise. With the
greatest dedication to accuracy and authenticity, Sideshow Collectibles
presents Legendary Scale(TM) Figures.

R2-D2, one of the galaxies favorite robots has been crafted
using many different mediums. He has been made using metal, paper,
wood, and butter. He has looked normal. He has looked battle torn.
He has even looked Steampunk. Now he is cheese, simple and pure
cheese. While I don’t know who came up with this great idea,
I would guess it was made for someone’s party. You can see
this cheese sculpture at StarWars.com Fan links.

or the images below for all the info!
Sam Labertew’s fight against acute lymphoblastic leukemia
requires two weapons: strong chemotherapy and a steady regime
of “Star Wars” movies, games and cartoons. So it was
fitting that the Skywalker Ranch be part of Sam’s healing.
On June 20, a stretch limo picked up the Labertews from their
Yorkville home and drove them to O’Hare International Airport
to begin their adventure, courtesy of Make-a-Wish Foundation.
“For two years, Sam went through cancer treatments,”
said his father Joel Labertew, who serves Joliet’s fire
chaplain and pastor of Southwest Community Church in Plainfield.
“This trip gave him something extraordinary to look forward
to.”

Microsoft
to Release R2-D2 Themed 360 Console with Kinect
Special R2-D2 themed model in the works to coincide with
the release of Kinect Star Wars
We've just heard from one of our close sources in the retail sector
that Microsoft is prepping a limited edition R2-D2 Xbox 360 console
— complete with Kinect sensor — set to launch alongside
the forthcoming Kinect Star Wars.
According to our reports, the machine (which will almost
certainly look nothing like this custom-made model) will be clad
in a blue and white paint job — even the Kinect sensor itself
will be sporting a neat palette change.
Will this Star Wars-themed machine tempt you into trading
in your tired beige 360 for something blessed with The Force and
officially licensed by George "The Beard" Lucas himself?
Or are you holding out for the ultra-exclusive Jar Jar Binks edition,
complete with flappy ears and annoying voice clips?
In Revenge of the Sith, while attending a ballet, Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine casually mentions to Anakin Skywalker the
tale of Darth Plagueis. Plagueis was a Sith Lord so wise and powerful,
that he could even manipulate the Force to create life or stop
death in others. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent
his own death, for in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed
in his sleep by his apprentice.
Palpatine told the captivating tale to start certain wheels
spinning in the Chosen One's head. Ever since then, Star Wars
fans have been clamoring to know more about Plagueis. Author James
Luceno delves into the secrets of the dark side to find out more
about Darth Sidious and Darth Plagueis in a new hardcover novel,
Star Wars: Darth Plagueis, due out this winter.

Earlier this week, LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment
said that the long-running Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG will be shut
down on December 15 due to the end of the licensing agreement, declining
subscriptions and competing MMORPGs. Immediately speculation arose
claiming that the decision was based on the launch of a "competing"
MMOG from EA and BioWare in Q4 2011 called Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Admittedly there's no question that the timing of closing SWG and
launching SW:TOR doesn't seem like mere coincidence.
Upset over the announcement, more than 2,500 SWG fans (and
counting) launched a petition to keep the virtual world up and running.
After it went live, SOE reportedly started locking forum topics
and banning players related to the petition. The company later defended
its actions by saying that "promoting an online petition causes
disruption within the community and does not provide gameplay feedback
that our development team can use." The explanation was contradictory
to say the least.
