Amazing impressions from The Clone Wars ‘Behind the Microphone’ panel.
Interview: Ashley Eckstein talks Her Universe at CV
James and I were able to grab a quick interview on with Ashley Eckstein at the con! It would be hard not to be impressed by the strides that the company has made in so short a time. They had a great product that was literally all over the con, from all the t-shirts that were near-ubiquitous on female attendees to the limited edition Empire Strikes Back necklace, even down to the (reusable!) shopping bags. As I said in the video, it’s something we’ve been wanting for years, and I won’t lie: I got a little choked up. I can’t wait to see what’s coming: Thank you so much, Ashley!
Videos: Preview new Clone Wars, Star Tours
A few Celebration videos to tide you over through our travel/recovery period. First up, The Clone Wars S3 trailer, above. Below, a commercial played in the ‘Star Tours’ queue for the revamped ride. (I hope someone bought those Ewoks some beers.)
Monday morning video: Blackstar Warrior
Dear George Lucas: I would watch this TV show. Make it so.
TGIF: Every lightsaber ignition & retraction
About halfway through this video I just started laughing uncontrollably. It’s just so… Random. (Also, it was late.)
While we’re on the topic of utterly random things: The Alderaan Trail and Darth Schwarzenegger.
Video: Artoo at the hospital
Paul Bussiere’s R2-D2 is a regular visitor to the children’s hospital in Bangor, Maine
SDCC Interview: Sean Williams
Our own intrepid JawaJames is at the con, and he caught up with author Sean Williams, whose The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance has just been released. They talk about the NJO, continuity (pay attention, Wookieepedians) characters, The Force Unleashed and blogging!
(You can check out James’ SDCC photos, too!)

The copyright has spoken: “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Lucasfilm Ltd. ”
Dave Filoni is seriously channeling Ric Olie for this, but if you’re hard up for a peek at S3…

It took the artist seven months to paint ‘The Birth of a Jedi,’ but it only takes just under 3 minutes thanks to magic of editing. (via)
