Halloween is coming up quick here. If you’re like me, you knew what costume you were going wear this year back on November 1st, 2007. However, not everyone plans that far ahead, nor are they necessarily good with a sewing machine. If you want to dress up as one of your favorite Star Wars characters, but don’t have the time or skill to make it yourself, Starwars.com has plenty of options in their shop.
Just added recently are several selections from the Clone Wars animated movie.
Comingsoon.net
has a press release regarding some of the first episodes of the new animated Clone Wars series. Looks like Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka will not be the stars of every episode. I know a lot of fans were hoping to see more action from other Jedi, so looks like Lucas may actually deliver this time.
Just an update: I received a note from the team at Hasbro that the Q&A responses have been delayed a few days until Friday. In case you were not aware, the questions will now run on a 3 week basis, rather than 2 week. We’ll post the answers as soon as we receive them on Friday!
Head on over to Yakface.com to see an interesting Q&A with The Force Unleashed development team…
Last week we were so overwhelmed by the greatness (snicker) that was the Clone Wars animated movie, we completely forgot to post a customizer of the week. Now that we’re less distracted we can get back to our regularly scheduled article!
This week’s customizer is Bantha Skull forum member TR1ER! He’s quite well known across the customizing world and creates some of most creative works I have seen. To top it all off, he adds custom working slings to his guns, giving them that little extra!
Click through to see a small taste of TR1ER’s awesome work, and don’t forget to post your customs in the forums! You could be here next!

(Bantha Skull Hasbro Q&A Week 4)
This coming Tuesday, The Force Unleashed trade paperback comes to a comic store near you. Not patient enough to wait til then? You can head over to Dark Horse and check out a seven page preview. Artist on this book include Brian Ching of the Star Wars Republic series fame and Bong Dazo from the more recent Knights of the Old Republic issues. The game has only been postponed twice, so expectations are quite high at this point.
In this week’s installment, I personally take the reigns and ask why can’t Hasbro get figures right on the first try anymore?
