Roundup: More Star Wars/San Diego announcements

July 17th, 2009 by Dunc · 3 Comments

Pepto Vader knows where you liveFirst up, check out some of the exclusives and swag that Star Wars folks will be offering at the con. ($6 from every Gentle Giant pink Vader, right, will go to breast cancer research and education.) There’s even stuff for us folks stuck at home, although the Comic-Con link seems tenuous.

  • Record your own Star Wars memories on the floor of Comic-Con to submit them to Lucasfilm’s historical archive.

  • Reps from Lucasfilm Licensing and Lucasfilm Animation will be on hand for portfolio reviews
  • LucasArts will have events on The Old Republic as well as the chance for fans to play The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, as well as something at the Star Wars Spectacular. (Great…)

    That might very well be their normal profit margin for that size/kind of object. The ‘up to $10,000′ is fishier.

    hey… if random people gave me $60, i’d be glad to donate $6 to a cause each time, up to $1 billion.

    so for them to donate $10,000 in $6 increments, they need to sell 1,666 +2/3 of them.
    But this limited edition collectible only has 1,644.
    maybe they are already making a base donation?
