SWTOR Customizing Tribute Roundup Report
As many of our readers sadly remember, the Star Wars fan community lost one of its most spirited customizers last July, Mike Martinez, known around the forums as Mercuryartstudios.
In his honor, three fan sites came together to realize a customizing contest that he had been working on, and the participation was amazing. We would like to thank the customizing community for such a strong showing in this multi-site customizing tribute to our friend that we miss so much. The theme was anything related to SWTOR, and entries could be fan fiction, etc. but did need to include three figures. It was basically a “loose interpretation” of an Evolutions theme from SWTOR.
The event has now come to a close, and we have a Roundup Report showing off all 60 customs made for this, as well, as some random winners, and a grand prize winner who is walking away with a very cool Star Wars collectible.
Check out the Roundup Report, and enjoy all the cool customs by clicking on the image above!
Awesome Custom Lego Statues
While attending the ToyMan Collector Show in St. Louis today, one of the dealers had some outstanding custom Lego-style Star Wars statues for sale. My camera phone doesn’t do these justice, but they were amazing. Check out a larger picture of these awesome creations in the forums!

Update: Fett Looking OT for Clone Wars?
An interesting image showed up on StarWars.com today of what looks to be an animated version of the Classic Boba Fett. It looks like Boba’s transformation to the iconic armor will turn up in the Clone Wars for season 5! Head on over for a closer look and be sure to check out their new Celebration VI announcements.
UPDATE: It appears that the cat was let out of the bag a bit prematurely as the Official Site has removed the image an replaced the animated version with one from The Empire Strikes Back. Thanks to our friends at JediNews for the tip.
