Star Wars fans in Japan have started a relief effort called “We are JEDI ” in response to the earthquake and tsunami that has irrevocably changed their country. You can contribute to their project by ordering a Limited Edition, Lucasfilm-approved T-shirt (end of April) here as well as read a message from Steve Sansweet.
It seems like R2-D2 needed to take a few refresher courses again this year. As you may recall, R2-D2 made an appearance at Carleton’s Goodsell Observatory in Minnesota last year. Now it looks like Case Western Reserve University in Ohio is R2’s campus of choice. Head to our forum for a closer look.
Thanks to “goalieman0820” for the report.
Even though Steve Sansweet has moved on from his role as Lucasfilm’s Fan Ambassador, he has not severed all ties with Lucas & Co. As Steve posted today via Facebook, he will remain as a consultant for Lucasfilm with the title of Fan Relations Advisor.

We have finally received the list of destinations for Star Tours 2.0. Disney Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald posted on the Disney Parks Blog the skinny on what we can expect to see on Disney’s Star Wars ride starting with this year’s Star Wars Weekends in Florida. Check it out here with our friends over at Endor Express.net
There have been some rumblings “on the internets” that there is an impending announcement (within the next 2 months) regarding Celebration 6 and its location which is touted to be a real “surprise”.
I don’t care where it is as long as it’s not Florida in August again.
