Star Wars: Empire of Dreams! *UPDATE*
It is the most popular space adventure of all time and one of the most
groundbreaking sagas in Hollywood history. This two-hour A&E SPECIAL
PRESENTATION: STAR WARS: EMPIRE OF DREAMS details how the phenomenon
captured imaginations with an irresistible Force and catapulted three young
performers to stardom Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher. But
the STAR WARS trilogy didn't just change the way we look at movies. It
changed the way movies are made. What began as a galactic fairy tale became a
success story beyond one man's wildest dreams. While George Lucas has
remained true to his own vision, it's audiences everywhere who have reaped
the rewards ever since May 1977 when moviegoers first caught sight of that
galaxy far, far away. For Lucas, what began as a quest for creative freedom
became a philosophy, a cultural phenomenon and his own empire of dreams.
The A&E SPECIAL PRESENTATION: STAR WARS: EMPIRE OF DREAMS features
riveting movie clips and fascinating screen tests plus interviews with George
Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and other
cast members.
*UPDATE* If you missed it last night, it will be replaying Sunday the 19th, so check your local listings. In most areas it played at 8, 10 and 12 last night. It also may be added to some Cable networks On Demand systems, so be sure to check them as well!

Star Wars Miniatures look most impressive.
Today Masterv has purchased both a Rebel Storm Starter set and Booster Pack from a local comic shop and this is what he has to say, "The detail on the miniatures is very articulate. Wizards of the Coast went out of their way to produce a top notch product. I really like these minatures!" Inside the Starter Set you get 10 miniatures, full color game state cards, a fold-out battle grid, 8 terrain tiles, a 20-sided die, a rule book and a checklist. The Booster pack comes with 7 random miniatures, a checklist, and full color game stat cards. "The most impressive miniatures came from the Booster Pack. I received a Commando on Speeder Bike which according to the checklist is a very rare piece. I also got a Wookie Soldier and a Twil'lek Bodyguard." Actual contents in Starter set and Booster Packs will vary.
