LOTF week: Invincible giveaway!
ClubJade.net has teamed up with NJOE and EU Cantina to bring you… Well, it was originally supposed to be a week – of fun as we gear up for the finale of Legacy of the Force series.
We’re first on the fire with a giveaway of the book itself – Invincible by Troy Denning. No, you won’t get it early, but it will be for free – and we’ll even spring for one-day shipping from Amazon.com.
How do you win this fabulous prize? It’s really quite simple: Comment on this very entry, telling us what you like best about Legacy of the Force. Comments will close at midnight (Eastern) May 9th, and the winner will be picked (based on their comment number) by the fearless and inventive random number generator.
Fine print: One-day shipping offer applies to U.S. addresses only. Please use a valid e-mail address and NO SPOILERS. Only one comment per person, please – and be aware that if you haven’t commented on ClubJade.net before, your entry will have to be approved before it appears. (We reserve the right to reject inappropriate comments, including Invincible spoilers.) All entries will be approved before random.org is consulted. The winner will be contacted on May 10th, and must reply before May 12th or another will be chosen. Direct questions to dunc@clubjade.net.
FRIDAY, MAY 10th 12:01am: Comments are closed.
SATURDAY, MAY 11th: We have a winner!

Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3!
There’s no better time to visit your local comic book store than Free Comic Book Day, aka this Saturday. Although there are no Star Wars titles this year, there will be miniatures from WOTC.
And it’s as good a time as any to try a Star Wars comic or two – I’d recommend going for trades – the first two Legacy graphic novels are out, and Star Wars Tales is always a good bet. (Yes, you can get them at Borders or B&N, but most comic book stores are independently run and could use the support.) Comic fans, what would you recommend?
io9 gets peek at The Force Unleashed
Chad Vader is voicing Vader? Jimmy Smits shows up? A few tidbits, but mostly a quick overview of the game’s characters and a bit on the music.
Star Wars t-shirt roundup, just in time for spring
These aren’t authorized (well, maybe the ThinkGeek one) or otherwise legally kosher, but that’s the risk you take, isn’t it? Enjoy!
- ThinkGeek’s Cantina Band is a bangin’ salute to both the Modal Nodes and 80’s rock tees.
- Make the children cry with GlennzTees’ Scrap Metal.
- A more instructive Artoo tribute from Red Bubble: R2 Manual.
- Noisebot has an exhausting selection of pop culture tees, but here’s two that have yet to wear out their welcome: Celebrity Sword Fighting Championship and Dark Side (Of The Moon).
