The time has finally come for you to change your bike's name
to Slave I, start your bounty-hunting career, and have your name
legally changed to Boba Fett! This Star Wars Boba Fett Leather
Prop Replica Street Jacket is the definitive leather recreation
of Boba Fett's bounty hunter outfit for true serious fans of the
Star Wars universe. With form molded leather armor that makes
up the chest, shoulder, and back section, this incredible functional
leather prop replica even includes incredibly-detailed weathered
paint chip designs on all leather armor sections to make it look
exactly like the on-screen version of Boba Fett's gear. Classic
Boba Fett Mandalorian symbols on the front chest plate and left
shoulder armor add an even greater level of screen accuracy, while
dual vertical front zippers create the illusion of a separate
vest that goes over the top of the base jacket. Complete with
iPhone pouch on the left forearm sleeve to give it an amazing
science fiction feel, even the weathering on the base of the jacket
is hand-applied blue wax to give it the worn and grizzled veteran
bounty hunter look that makes Boba Fett such an intimidating character.
Plus, this amazing jacket is as functional as it is decorative:
with CE approved body armor in the forearms / elbow, shoulders,
and back spine protector, you'll be protected from the road while
riding your motorcycle and looking like you've come straight out
of the Star Wars movies. The highly detailed and lightweight interior
lining can be removed along with the body armor, so that you can
wear this stunning replica whether you're on the road, just having
a stroll, or using it to finish your Star Wars costume! Made from
Grade A cow hide.

Star Wars Rebels CEII Pins Reveal Rebel Ship Schematics
Via TheForce.net:
Yesterday's Star Wars Rebels panel at Celebration
Europe II featured a lot of concept art for the series, but nothing
got as much applause as the Rebel ship called the Ghost. While
we only saw it in a few images at the panel, there's actually
a bonus image out there featuring schematics of the Ghost -- and
the web address is hidden on the Rebels pins that were given away
at the panel.

Celebration VII - Anaheim, California - April 16th 2015
Just announced: #StarWarsCelebration
is coming to Anaheim, CA on April 16-19, 2015!
John Williams, the legendary composer who crafted
the iconic, sweeping music of all six films in the Star Wars saga,
is returning to score Star Wars: Episode VII, Lucasfilm President
Kathleen Kennedy announced today at Star Wars Celebration Europe.
Williams' grand orchestral compositions for Star Wars are among
the most beloved and recognizable in movie history, from the classic
"Main Title" theme introduced in Star Wars: Episode
IV A New Hope to the ominous "Imperial March" from Star
Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back to the stirring "Duel
of the Fates" from the prequel trilogy.
Williams, whose career spans over six decades,
has won five Academy Awards and has scored some of the most popular
and critically acclaimed films of all time, including Jaws, the
Indiana Jones series, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Lincoln, and
countless others.
The composer joins a growing list of all-star creators including
director J.J. Abrams, screenwriter Michael Arndt, and consultants
Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg, who are shaping Star Wars:
Episode VII, currently set for a 2015 release.
Star Wars Rebels Executive Producer Dave Filoni
pulled back the curtain on Lucasfilm's highly anticipated animated
series for Star Wars Celebration Europe attendees today, discussing
the huge influence of original Star Wars concept artist Ralph
McQuarrie on the look and feel of the show, and revealing the
series' unique logo and select designs.
Filoni talked at length about the use of McQuarrie art as
a springboard for the series, showcasing many works from the original
trilogy, including landscapes and characters, and detailing how
they inform the visual identity of Star Wars Rebels.
For Star Wars Rebels, fans were given their first look at
the Ghost, which will be the main character's ship and play a
big part in the series, as well as a computer rendering of a very
McQuarrie-esque Stormtrooper, the interior of a Star Destroyer,
and more. The show's logo, a minimalist yet powerful design, is
notable for its orange and black color scheme, which recalls the
flight suit colors of Rebel pilots in the original Star Wars trilogy.
While unable to attend in person, Executive Producers Simon
Kinberg and Greg Weisman shared their excitement for the series
in a video message recorded specifically for Celebration attendees.
The series is set between the events of Episode III and IV
-- an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen.
It takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip
on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as
a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape

CLONE WARS SEASON 5 AND SEASONS 1-5 SETS HIT THIS FALL
Just announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe:
the Star Wars: The Clone Wars box sets you're looking for.

final season of the hit series, will release on October 15, 2013,
on Blu-ray (2-disc, $59.97 MSRP) and DVD (3-disc, $49.98 MSRP).
The collection delivers all 20 episodes, two as director's cuts
never seen on TV, and supplements them with a host of behind the
scenes bonus materials, cast and crew interviews, and deleted
and alternate scenes, revealing the magic behind the making of
the cutting-edge series.
In its Emmy-winning fifth season, the gripping Star Wars
story moves closer to the grim events of Star Wars: Episode III
Revenge of the Sith and several major players face their destinies
as the galaxy plunges into darkness. Planets are rocked by revolution,
ancient Jedi secrets are explored, and Ahsoka Tano -- the spirited
Padawan so central to the series -- faces a major crisis that
will change her forever.
For those wanting to relive every moment of the epic series
from the beginning comes the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Seasons
1-5 Collector's Edition, also releasing on October 15, 2013, on
Blu-ray (14-disc, $149.99 MSRP) and DVD (19-disc, $119.98 MSRP).
All previous complete season sets have been collected here for
the first time. With unique packaging, the Collector's Edition
also includes a brand new 54-page Art of The Clone Wars booklet
that showcases concept art from across all five seasons, with
many pieces never before published.

Spotlight
on the Celebration Europe Artists: JAKe
For our next segment, where we take a closer look at the Artists
for the Celebration
Europe II Art Show, we feature JAKe and his piece 1983:
The Circle Is Now Complete. Below is the final print image
and some more information we got chatting with JAKe about it:
This is the final art that's gone to print. "1983:
The Circle Is Now Complete". It's priced at 33 euros and
is A2 16.5x23 size, the same as my 1977, and 1980 prints.
Preorders ended, but Lucasfilm are letting us sell any unsold
prints after the event this time. There always seems to be a big
demand AFTER the shows especially from people who can't make it
to Celebrations so I've started a reserves list for anyone who
wants one. Send me an email and I'll add you to the list.
I'll be signing, sketching and doing comissions for anyone
who wants one in Essen. I'll also have some original Star Wars
art for sale, and on Friday I'm doing a kid's workshop called
"How To Draw Wookie." at 16:00 on the Friday, in Halle
5. I'll be, err, drawing wookiees and other denizens of the SW
universe, giving away some artwork and signing copies of 'Sprich
wie ein Wookiee', the German version of my book 'How To Speak
Wookiee' ( Lucasfilm/ Chronicle Books ). I going to tweet some
photos from previous Celebrations, and hopefully from Essen too,
so anyone who wants to follow me I'm on Twitter as @JAKeDetonator

ever. It's the full armor suit, from the boots to the helmet.
eFX was able to cast directly from original, screen-used Stormtrooper
armor, including body suit and neck seal, from 1977's Star Wars:
Episode IV A New Hope.
The Stormtrooper armor replica can be seen in BOOTH #3635
This marks the very first time any collectible company has had
full access to a production-used Stormtrooper armor from A New
Hope for the purposes of actually producing a collectible replica.
The suit used for casting is one of only two Stormtrooper costumes
known to have been sent to the U.S. during production of the original
Star Wars. From head to toe, this is the most stunning and most
accurate Stormtrooper replica ever created — and the best
news is, eFX is producing them for purchase!
Its appearance at San Diego Comic-Con will be the first time
it will be on public display prior to pre-orders, which are planned
to begin in the fall. The retail price for this "eFX Legend
Edition" Stormtrooper replica is expected to be about $2,000,
which will include a full display set-up!

SDCC Press Release - Star Wars
The Force is strong with Hasbro at Comic-Con! In addition
to getting a first look at the new ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS TELEPODS
line, Hasbro will showcase its highly anticipated STAR WARS THE
BLACK SERIES figures before they land on store shelves this fall.
With THE BLACK SERIES, Hasbro introduces a 6-inch scale of the
greatest characters from the STAR WARS universe featuring incredibly
accurate design and a high level of articulation. Fans can join
members of the Hasbro brand and design teams Friday, July 19 at
1:00p.m. at the Hasbro STAR WARS panel to see reveals of upcoming
figures in the series and learn more about the ANGRY BIRDS STAR
WARS TELEPODS line. To see a preview of the TELEPODS play experience,
fans can view a video below:
Comic-Con attendees will also want to check out the wildly
popular special edition toys and collectibles developed specifically
for the convention on sale at the HasbroToyShop.com booth (#3312)
while supplies last. All giveaways and events are subject to change.
A California man who pleaded guilty to defrauding the Department
of Transportation out of nearly $1.9 million is going to lose
his two residences, two cars and retirement accounts. But that
is not the worst of it — Eric Hodgson is also being forced
to give up a collection of Star Wars memorabilia worth more than
$10,000 as part of his plea deal. He is facing a nine-year prison
sentence.
Hodgson, 43, was charged 22 counts of grand theft after the
California DOT hired him to publish ads for construction contracts
in local newspapers. Hodgson had other ideas.
"He instead used the money to pay off a mortgage, make
purchases of toys and comics and pay for exotic trips for him
and his company staff," said State Attorney General Kamala
Harris' office in a statement.
According to Nick Pacilio, a spokesman for Harris, the collection
will now go up for auction, Reuters reported. Amongst the items
in the collection is a 3-foot-tall rubber statue of Yoda with
a robe and wispy hair.

Build
your Imperial ranks with Sandtroopers from Kotobukiya!
Selected by fans last year during Celebration's Trooper Re-Creation
campaign, Kotobukiya is excited to announce the Sandtrooper Squad
Leader Two-Pack and Sandtrooper Sergeant as the latest additions
to the Star Wars ARTFX+ statue collection.
SANDTROOPER SQUAD LEADER TWO-PACK ARTFX+ STATUE - First seen
in Star Wars Episode IV searching Tatooine for a pair of droids,
Sandtroopers use modified Stormtrooper armor and unique weaponry,
and as with all soldiers are more effective in greater numbers.
The Sandtrooper ARTFX+ Statues replicate their onscreen counterparts
perfectly, with intricately sculpted armor that shows off all
of the details you know from the film. Notably, they wear the
iconic shoulder pauldrons and convoluted backpacks full of desert
equipment. Similarly, due to the harsh conditions they operate
in the Sandtroopers feature armor scoured and stained brown, further
differentiating them from their standard Imperial brothers. In
this pack you’ll get enough parts to build two Sandtroopers
Squad Leaders with all of their equipment and weaponry, and bonus
parts let you assemble and display them in various iconic poses
(on the lookout with macrobinoculars, pointing at targets, or
wielding either T-21 or RT-97C)! Like all other ARTFX+ Statues
the Sandtroopers also have magnets in their feet for display on
their included bases. Available January 2014.
SANDTROOPER SERGEANT ARTFX+ STATUE - lways on the lookout for
Rebel droids or other anti-Imperial forces, the Sandtrooper Sergeant
valiantly serves on missions in the harshest desert environments
from Tatooine to Ryloth. The Sandtrooper Sergeant is a fearsome
soldier as he stands at the ready, wielding his powerful RT-97C
heavy blaster rifle. Like the men under his command the Sergeant
wears specially modified Stormtrooper armor that is captured in
a highly detailed sculpt with a great dirty and weathered paint
job! Everything is screen accurate even down to the intricacies
of the trooper’s unique backpack. Like all other ARTFX+
Statues the Sandtrooper Sergeant has magnets in his feet for display
on the included base. ARTFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted
snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without
glue or modeling skill. The Sandtrooper Sergeant stands 7 inches
tall (1/10th scale) and is the companion for the Sandtrooper Squad
Leader Two Pack (sold separately)! Available January 2014.

Attakus Statue: Yoda in Dagobah New Images
Attakus was kind enough to send over some great images and more
info on the Elite collection Yoda. Click any image below to see
the full gallery at our Facebook
page.
Inspired by his appearance in Star Wars Episode V - The Empire
Strikes Back, Yoda, the wise and powerful Jedi master, is crafted
in 1:10 scale, in cold-cast porcelain. This highly detailed high-end
sculpture captures Yoda's calm expression perfectly as he sits
peacefully on a beautifully textured fallen trunk near a murky
Dagobah swamp. He's a limited edition of 1,500 pieces worldwide
Attakus was kind enough to send over some great images and more
info on the Elite collection R2-D2 and C-3PO. Click any image
below to see the full gallery at our Facebook
page.
R2-D2, and his protocol droid companion C-3PO, are major
characters in all six Star Wars films. Both droids served the
Skywalker family faithfully for many years. The iconic droids
are sculpted to perfection, with stunning attention to detail,
capturing all of the interesting mechanical details that made
them so famous. C-3PO and R2-D2 stand just over 6 ½ inches
and nearly 4 inches tall respectively. These finely crafted 1/10th
scale, cold-cast porcelain statues come hand-painted and handcrafted,
and are strictly limited to 1200 pieces worldwide. Each hand-numbered
with a matching certificate of authenticity.
Update: Nothing has been "official"
from GG other than PGM will have a shot at these and that was
via Twitter in response to a question from YakFace. Also, it was
never stated anywhere that the entire Edition Size of this was
250 - the reports posted say 250 will be offered for CE. All we
know now is that Toy-Palace is offering 250 at CE2 and PGM will
have a shot to order as well so it's safe to say it's more than
250. Any reports that the entire edition size of this is 250 total
pieces is false.
Our friends, at YakFace.com,
have uncovered (via Toy Palace) that they will be offering a Jumbo
Kenner Tri-Logo Yak Face at Celebration Europe II. Limited to
250 pieces. They later confirmed via Gentle Giant (on Twitter)
that these will indeed be available to PGM members.

and if you missed it before check out our in hand video review
of the SDCC version. The figure will be the same with the CE version,
but sans the coin and POTF card.

Mimoco® (www.mimoco.com), the Boston-based consumer electronics
design studio is preparing for their annual pilgrimage to San
Diego Comic-Con, where in 2005 they launched their company and
MIMOBOT® brand of designer USB flash drives merging art toy
aesthetics with the functionality of personal data storage devices.
Over the past eight years Mimoco has pioneered the licensed flash
drive category with their MIMOBOT platform blooming into a veritable
powerhouse showcasing dozens of pop-culture franchises and hundreds
of iconic characters in MIMOBOT form and function, all preloaded
with exclusive Mimory® content. Over the next month, week
by week, Mimoco will let fans in on their newest collaborations
– eight limited edition MIMOBOT flash drives, one for each
year of their existence, each a sparkling candle burning bright
in Mimoco’s metaphoric birthday cake!
Mimoco continues the celebration with their Star Wars x MIMOBOT
line, their longest-running co-branded licensed collection with
Lucasfilm that started in 2006. Now in Series 9, Mimoco re-releases
Chewbacca MIMOBOT in a hand-numbered limited edition run of 1000
units, in up to 128GB capacities, as well as in USB3.0 speeds.
As with all Star Wars x MIMOBOT drives, these will be preloaded
with bonus digital Mimory® content including the MimoDesk®
personalization suite of wallpapers, icons, and avatars, and the
exclusive MimoByte® sound software. Chewbacca Variant MIMOBOT
is a complete redesign of Mimoco’s Star Wars Series 1 Chewbacca
MIMOBOT and this time around he’s brought a friend with
him! The temporarily disassembled C-3PO is hanging out on the
back of everybody’s favorite Wookiee spitting all sorts
of complaints into his ear. This Star Wars Series 9 MIMOBOT joins
dozens of Star Wars characters including the recently released
Jar Jar Binks and R2-A6 limited editions announced earlier this
year. But act fast because only 1000 Chewie Variants will be manufactured.
In 1978 Joe Johnston designed an early prototype of the infamous
bounty hunter Boba
Fett, for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.
The original 'Supertrooper' design featured striking all-white
armor and the first prototypes of Fett's trademark weapons.
Sideshow Collectibles proudly presents the Boba Fett (Prototype
Armor) Sixth Scale figure. With a fully articulated body, detailed
accessories and unique armor, the Boba Fett (Prototype Armor)
Sixth Scale figure is a must-have addition for dedicated Star
Wars fans.
The Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) Sixth Scale Figure features:
Boba Fett Prototype Armor
Helmet with Rangefinder
Prototype Rifle
Prototype Blaster
Jet Pack with Grappling hook
Fabric Cape
Sideshow Exclusive: Star Wars Beach Towel 'Cape' and Figure Base
with matching design
Hasbro, Toys 'R' Us and Jedi News have been working incredibly
hard to bring you a European First... an exclusive first launch
in Europe of the stunning new Star Wars: The Black Series figures.
A limited quantity of both the 3.75" and 6" figures
from The Black Series will be available at Toys 'R' Us in Brent
Cross, London labelled as 'First Day of Issue'.
Jeremy Bulloch who is travelling with the Caravan of the
Force on route to Celebration Europe will be on hand to sign a
limited edition backing card from The Black Series. The 501st
and Rebel Legion will also be on hand to make this a very special
event. There will also be limited edition Star Wars prizes to
be won for those that come in the best costumes.
More details on this very special event and the Caravan of
the Force coming soon! This will be a day long remembered!

an entire galaxy. May the Force be with you. Star Wars toys are
produced by Hasbro under license from Lucas film Ltd.
It has been a hot topic on Facebook, Twitter and in Star Wars
forums about the R2-D2 6" Black Series not looking as most
of us hoped and thought it would so Mark took some high res images
we had from the prototype and the actual production piece.
None of us thought we would get the super detailed hand painted
one we saw at Toy Fair (on the left), but for a suggested MSRP
of $25 a figure, I think most of us were hoping for something
better. Sure lighting and the angle of the shot all play a role,
but this looks vastly different in so many ways. Take a look for
yourself and join in the discussion on our facebook
page.

Star
Wars: TOR is Looking for Corporate Troubleshooters
Sometimes, being a corporate troubleshooter means that your
job is identifying weak points in a company and strengthening
infrastructure. Other times, such as in the Star Wars: The Old
Republic update available on the test server, it means that your
job is shooting trouble. Seems that Czerka Corporation has sort
of lost control of an important test moon, and that means that
player characters will need to visit a new daily hub as well as
two new level 55 Flashpoints.
These Flashpoints aren't the usual fare; they feature both
a Hard Mode and a Story Mode, with the latter allowing any combination
of roles to clear the flashpoint for shorter queue times and a
more relaxed experience. You've also got two new reputations to
explore, one for the daily hub and one for the upcoming Bounty
Broker event. If you've done all there is to do on Makeb, the
patch means you'll have plenty more to do soon. There's also a
new Companions 101 piece on Corso Riggs, but really, a new patch
is a bit more interesting.
