Live action series coming in 2012?
That’s what Examiner.com’s Bryan Young is reporting from Steve Sansweet’s DragonCon panel. Sansweet also hinted that we may get some serious news soon!
Of course, the skeptic in me can’t fail to remind folks that this is far from the first time we’ve been given a ‘possible’ date. But Sansweet actually talking about it at a con seems like a good step.

Dragon*Con: There is another…
The Elvis Vader was spotted at Dragon*Con by Jason Puckett. (This Elvis does not appear to be the original with a new look, given the big announcement on Elvistrooper.com.)

The catch: You have to go to Walmart and get a code. Have fun with that.
Video flashback: The Vector Prime TV commercial
Quality of Vector Prime aside, this was a sad day for Expanded Universe fans… I remember being surprised by it on the Sci-Fi Channel and being terribly embarrassment squicked. (My wariness of book trailers probably dates from that moment. Though things do seem to have improved.)
In any case, better now than later to introduce the Expanded Universe playlist at Youtube ClubJaders. Most of it is much less squicky than this, I promise.

New The Clone Wars images, video, Cad Bane interview, Republic Heroes demo, and more!
A baker’s dozen of new Star Wars: The Clone Wars images have popped up on IGN, including a few new characters coming in Season 2. They also have two new videos, including this one where Cad Bane gets hired to do a little smash-and-grab on the Jedi Temple and Anakin and the clones head up against Cad Bane’s battle droids in a zero-g firefight.
Wired managed to get an interview with the notorious bounty hunter, Cad Bane. Bane goes on the record to say the Clone Wars are good for business with “the war tends to shake out the power players, and bigger clients means bigger fees” and quashes rumors that he’s concerned about young Boba Fett taking over the Fett bounty hunter name and fame. Does he want a shot at the Jedi, like Anakin Skywalker? Read it and find out!
On the video game front, the demo version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes has been released on XBox Live for download. The game takes place between seasons 1 and 2, and will be released on September 15 for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, Nintendo DS, and PSP.
Remember, Season 2 of The Clone Wars premieres on Cartoon Network on Friday, October 2. Meanwhile, SW.com is streaming four fan favorite episodes over the Labor Day weekend.
