Shaak Ti

Sideshow announced recently the pre-order of a new Premium Format Figure for the Star Wars line, Master Jedi Shaak Ti. Here are some pictures of this amazing statue. You can check more pics in the Sideshow blog, here.

Star Wars Detours

An all new level of great Star Wars fun!

As they say:

"Star Wars Detours™ is an animated comedy that explores what daily life is like in a galaxy far, far away. There are no Empires striking back or attacking clones here. Instead, Star Wars Detours focuses on the universe's regular folks and their everyday problems... which, to be fair, do frequently involve famous bounty hunters, crazed Ewoks, and even a Dark Lord of the Sith."

Welcome to Star Wars: Detours: the other side of the stars, between the wars."

 

Enjoy!

Mythos as arrived

Sideshow launched a new line of Star Wars statues etitled "Mythos". For the moment, we can delight ourselves with the wise and nomad Ben Kenobi, the mysterious Darth Maul or the brute Gamorrean Executioner.

The only thing I can add is UAU! The sculptures are very detailed, they have a sense of movement that captures your eye, and the chosen palette combines in perfection with each character.

Here´s some pictures for you to enjoy.

Republic Ace

A very funny and simple game, that will make you enjoy a few moments with the Force.

Blast your way through the Separatist fleet!

Um jogo simples e engraçado, que vos vai fazer passar um bom bocado com a Força.

Abre caminho e rebenta com a frota Separatista!

"An actor is totally vulnerable. His total personality is exposed to critical judgment - his intellect, his bearing, his diction, his whole appearance. In short, his ego."

Duel of The Fates

One of the best Star Wars themes ever!
Take a moment to enjoy the first appearance of Darth Maul...
Unfortunately, Qui Gon Jinn dies...

::::::::

Um dos melhores temas de sempre, da saga Star Wars!

Apreciem a revelação de Darth Maul...

Infelizmente, Qui Gon Jinn morre...

A special lightsaber

From now on, when you throw a party at your place, you can experience a new way of bottle opening, without destroying it... don´t believe me?
The picture says it all!

::::::::

A partir de agora, quando organizarem festas lá em casa para a malta amiga, já podem experimentar uma nova técnica para abertura de caricas, sem destruir a garrafa... não acreditam?
A imagem diz tudo!

Empire Hotline

"Enter Craig Miller, Lucasfilm's first director of fan relations, who recently uncovered his cassette copy of the phone messages (likely the only copy in existence) and generously shared them with us. To our surprise, the recording revealed five -- not four -- voice performances, including a previously unknown Princess Leia message recorded by Carrie Fisher!"

Keep on reading here. You can also hear the 5 samples from C3PO, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and of course, Darth Vader. Enjoy!
