Boba Fett Leather Street Jacket Replica

Via EntertainmentEarth.com:

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.

Thanks to some Internet sleuthing, we've found the web address with the schematics. It's right here (http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/1976/01/05/join-the-rebellion/) . The image itself is below (click the thumbnail to enlarge):

In case you can't read Aurebesh, here's what it says:

Modified VCX-100 light freighter, Corellian Engineering Corporation, Metrics: length: 43.9 meters, width: 34.2 meters, height: 14.5 meters, 1. nose turret's gunner position, 2. forward floodlights, 3. main cockpit, 4 crew quarters, 5 port docking ring, 6. starboard docking ring, 7. dorsal laser cannon turret, 8. main cargo hold, 9. engine assembly.

JOHN WILLIAMS TO SCORE STAR WARS: EPISODE VII

Via StarWars.com:

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.

FIRST LOOK AT STAR WARS REBELS!

 

Posted on July 28, 2013

STAR WARS REBELS LOGO, ART, AND DETAILS REVEALED

Via StarWars.com:

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

Via StarWars.com:

Just announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe: the Star Wars: The Clone Wars box sets you're looking for.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Complete Season Five, the 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

SDCC 2013: eFX Full-Scale Stormtrooper Uniform Replica

At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, eFX Inc. just unveiled the most detailed, most accurate full-scale Stormtrooper uniform replica 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!

Man Forfeits $10K Of Star Wars Memorabilia

Via Opposingviews.com (we had to laugh at the last paragraph)

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.

Check out some high resolution boxed and loose images of the K-Mart Exclusive Imperial Scanning Crew (Barcode 653569890539) only at Kmart (and for those of us not near one, hopefully online as well at Kmart.com).

CEII Exclusive Jumbo Tri-Logo Yak Face

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.

Click below to check out the post at YakFace 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.

PGM members can pre-order Yak Face at this link for $80

SDCC 2013 - Chewbacca MIMOBOT

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.

R2-D2 6" Black Series Fiasco

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

Via Massively.joystiq.com:

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.
