This weekend we run a well overdue Customizer Spotlight on the amazing work of forum member Peakob1. Just imagine how much more exciting the Clone Wars line would have been in 2012 with attention to detail (and variety of characters) like this!

While it has yet to be officially announced (I guess this is it), the new Star Wars Rebels DVD features a trailer for The Clone Wars: The Lost Missions Blu-ray and DVD release coming Fall 2014.
Jesse from JediDefender was able to find several sets of the Special Value Offer vehicle packs at his local Kmart including the more rare Jedi Speeder set. Here is a link to another image of his haul.
Continuing the popular Star Wars Art series, Amazon has up for pre-order Star Wars Art: Posters
Few pieces of artwork distill the passion for Star Wars as do posters. From Tom Jung’s iconic one-sheet for Episode IV to Roger Kastel’s Gone with the Wind–inspired painting for Episode V and beyond, Star Wars has enjoyed nearly four decades of poster art from some of the most renowned artists working in movies. The fifth book in the George Lucas–curated Star Wars Art series, Posters collects the best artwork from all six Star Wars films, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated television series, and limited-edition prints. This collection unites all of the action, artistry, and drama of a galaxy far, far away into one lavishly produced tome.

Marshalls stores are now getting in the both the older Republic AV-7 Mobile Cannon and Plo Koon Jedi Starfighter, priced at $14.99 each. Head on over to the forums and let us know if you have been able to score these as well.
Personal Note: The cannon was cool; even at full price collectors and parents seemed to purchase them. The repainted Jedi Starfighter that has been rehashed over and over? We all know the answer to that and how those things kept the Mandalorian ship from hitting like it was intended. I would assume that Marshalls stores will sell the cannons fast, but the Plo Koon ship… not so much. They’ll continue to sit at this discount store just like nearly all Jedi Starfighters have for the past several years and will end up having to be clearanced.
