This and two other brand-new The Clone Wars images in the latest issue of Empire magazine.
NYCC ’08: The Star Wars/Indiana Jones panel
Given how little breaking Star Wars news we’ve had out of New York Comic Con, it’s not too surprising that we didn’t get a full panel report until now… Check it out at Cinematical. EW also includes it in their roundup.

Missed The Clone Wars trailer?
Gizmodo has the leaked Polish Clone Wars trailer that was wiped off the rest of the internet within mere hours on Saturday. How long will it last? Do LFL and/or WB lawyers patrol the internet at night? Click and find out…
In less C&Dable news, they’re also geeking out over some new Millennium Falcon toy.

In the news: George, Harrison, Jeremy
There are scans of a Total Film interview with George Lucas over at MillenniumFalcon.com. They hit all the standards, including Indy IV, The Clone Wars and the live action series. At one point, George says “People live in the Empire, but you don’t see Stormtroopers.” A departure indeed… There’s also an interesting bit about the EU, George’s “three pillars of Star Wars.” Nothing terribly surprising, but we’re still at the point where any crumb is thrilling.

- Video: Jeremy Bulloch gifted with Boba Fett costume by fan groups at the Dallas Comic Con. (Thanks, Denise!)
