Darth Maul by Kotobukiya

The all new Darth Maul appears like you’ve never seen him before. Inspired by Katsushika Hokusai’s traditional Japanese ukiyo-e (“pictures of the floating world”) style, the Sith warrior balances atop a rocky outcropping in a samurai-like pose. Stripped to the waist, the Zabrak wears a tattered robe that twists and flows with incredible sculpted detail. In his state of undress Maul reveals a body covered in intricate Sith tattoos, while his snarling face captures his hatred for the Jedi and the all-consuming rage in his heart. Of course, no version of Darth Maul would be complete with his blood red double-bladed lightsaber, and this one even has a special light up feature!

Sculpted by Junnosuke Abe, Darth Maul stands approximately 11 inches (in 1/7th scale with all other Star Wars ARTFX Statues). With its detailed construction and unique styling, this Sith menace is a snap-fit kit that can be put together easily in seconds without glue or modeling skill!

A 40" Darth Maul

Sideshow Collectibles recently released a new statue of Darth Maul, one of my favourite characters. For my surprise, this sculpture is huge, is stands 40" in height! I don´t have much more to say, the piece talks by itself.
Sideshow also created a very atractive page with lots of info about Darth Maul, his story, the specs of the sculpture, etc. Click here to check.
If you have 1999.99$ saved, think twice ;) Or maybe Santa can be good for you this year...

A Sideshow Collectible lançou recentemente uma nova estátua de Darth Maul, uma das minha personagens preferidas. Para minha surpresa, esta escultura é enorme, com cerca de 1m de altura! Não posso dizer muito mais do que isto, já que a peça fala por si própria.
Uma página bastante atrativa sobre a peça foi também criada, com muita informação sobre Darth Maul, a sua história, especificidades da escultura, etc. Cliquem aqui para verem.
Se tiverem 1999.99 US$ guardados, pensem bem ;) Pode ser que o Pai Natal este ano seja generoso...

An announcement

“For over two decades, Kenobi has been the Jedi rebellion’s leader and symbol,” the Lord of the Sith said in a statement broadcast across the galaxy via HoloNet. “The death of Kenobi marks the most significant achievement to date in our empire’s effort to defeat the rebel alliance. But his death does not mark the end of our effort. There’s no doubt that the rebellion will continue to pursue attacks against us. We must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad.”

Tatooine exists

"It's possible that there's a real Tatooine out there," said John Knoll, visual effects supervisor at the special-effects firm Industrial Light and Magic, which was behind the "Star Wars" films. "Kepler 16b is unambiguous and dramatic proof that planets really do form around binaries."

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis

Can´t wait to grab it... :))))

In Revenge of the Sith, while attending a ballet, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine casually mentions to Anakin Skywalker the tale of Darth Plagueis. Plagueis was a Sith Lord so wise and powerful, that he could even manipulate the Force to create life or stop death in others. Ironically, such a powerful being could not prevent his own death, for in the way of the Sith, Plagueis was killed in his sleep by his apprentice.

Palpatine told the captivating tale to start certain wheels spinning in the Chosen One's head. Ever since then, Star Wars fans have been clamoring to know more about Plagueis. Author James Luceno delves into the secrets of the dark side to find out more about Darth Sidious and Darth Plagueis in a new hardcover novel, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis, due out this winter.

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis by James Luceno will be available in hardcover and ebook formats on December 27, 2011 from Del Rey Books.
