This Week in SW

The preview for Star Wars Insider #84 is up, and it’s all about the clones… And coming up in the issue after that (#85) will be a Vader short story from Karen Traviss.

StarWarsShop.com has an exclusive Christmas Vader action figure that’s… um.. festive. Because nothing says ‘Happy Holidays’ like a blood-colored figure of everyone’s favorite Sith Lord

And LFL is finally moving into the Presidio this week, so updates on starwars.com will be slim.

The rapture will in fact occur next Thursday

With the JadeCon bearing down on us, blogging has been rather sparse. With my apologies, here’s a few things to check out:

The cast of the upcoming Star Wars Trilogy: Musical Edition (you may remember them from C3) will be performing at the opening of the Boston Museum of Science’s “Science of Star Wars” exhibit this fall. George Lucas himself will be there! We’ll going to start gathering nausea tips and soothing vapors for the cast at JadeCon.

Charles Ross, who performs the One-Man Star Wars Trilogy, has been getting quite a bit of press lately – mainly Reuters and The Associated Press which means he’ll no doubt be appearing in your local paper on the next slow news day.

Lucasfilm has hired Joshua Katz as a new head of marketing and is running Presidio with AMD Opteron processors.

And finally, for Hyperspace members, CJer Charlene Newcomb’s story Turning Point is the latest story on starwars.com.

I believe that about rounds it up… For now.
