Use the link to SideShow at the top of the page and order yourself the looooong-awaited ANH Darth Vader with exclusive force-choke hand. Then in a few hours, hang around for the Stormtrooper exclusive pre-order. I got mine ordered, how about you?
Well, we may be a day late, and by “we” I mean “me”, but click through for our inaugural edition of Bantha Skull Strikes Back which asks the question why, after 13 years, are we still waiting for a definitive version of a ROTJ Emperor Palpatine.
Well sort of. Click through to see pics of the Assault on the Shield Generator Battle Pack and the Animated Battle at the B’Omarr Monastery Battle Pack. Even though checking in store inventory may show these as available, that does not mean that these specific battle packs are in stock. In fact, it’s pretty certain that these are not in stock. Due to Target’s inventory system, it simply means that any battle packs are in stock and would probably indicate the recently released Hoth BPs. To see the pics of the B’Omarr set, click on the See Larger Images button.
For you folks that are actually interested in the Clone Wars movie coming in August, Yahoo movies has almost four minutes of a nice battle scene up for your viewing pleasure. Click through to see it.

This week from DarkHorse comics is KOTOR #31. Zayne Carrick is getting closer to clearing his name, but he’ll have to face off against those who have done him wrong. I’m not sure if the page art has gone back to it’s roots, or if it’s still in it’s goofy-comic phase. Here’s hoping the Liefeld-esque look comes back soon.
