In Mission Two, players and their team of 40 Rebels will have already infiltrated the supply depot, and must try to get to the control room before the group is eliminated by the Imperial stormtroopers guarding the depot.<\/p>\n<p>In the Rebel Training Simulator, players are assigned to a group of 30 Rebel soldiers who will be pitted against another 30 Rebels. In this scenario, the team that &#8216;eliminates&#8217; the opposing team wins.<\/p>\n<p>Young Rebels itching to join the Rebellion can hone their skills in Young Rebel Training, designed for kids 8-12.<\/p>\n<p>For more info visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/starwars.com\/community\/event\/celebration\/news20070427.html\">StarWars.com!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1177697647,18252,\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>Toysrus Strikes Back<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">April 27, 2007 | 2:14 PM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rykrofenloe@yahoo.com\">Justin<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">We&#8217;ve been getting in a few reports of new items hitting TRU stores, and just this afternoon I\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/cgi.denpetersen.com\/YAK1\/viewtopic.php?t=1483&amp;start=220\">found the following<\/a>\u00a0at an area St. Louis TRU (Florissant location) &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8211; V-Wing<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sith Infiltrator<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; TAC Wave 2 (Concept Fett Wave)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Quinlan Vos &amp; Vilmarh Grahrk Comic Pack<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Obi-Wan Kenobi &amp; ARC Trooper Alpha<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper disguise) &amp; R2-D2<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>So it might be a good time to head to your local TRU store folks&#8230; good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1177679741,93956,\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>Sideshow Comic-Con<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">April 27, 2007 | 9:15 AM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:hfsolo@yahoo.com\">Mark<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">This year we have a grand total of SIX insanely cool San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive products, which will begin pre-ordering NEXT WEEK!

Author and Lucas Books editor J.W. Rinzler has unearthed long lost interviews and conducted extensive research to recreate the period when Star Wars was being made. The book includes includes interviews with George Lucas from before the film was even released, as well as a huge wealth of new material from the Lucasfilm archives that has been literally buried for decades. See never-before-published photos and documents, and hear never-before-revealed anecdotes and insights from cast and crew. Get the full picture of the moviemaking process that created the original film, supplemented by brand new interviews as well.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I picked up the softcover version of this book today over my lunch hour and it doesn&#8217;t disappoint. Just when you&#8217;ve thought you&#8217;ve seen every Star Wars image ever captured, there is a brand new one on the next page. The never before seen photos range from concept art and models to set construction and screen tests. This book is a must buy for any fan and provides excellent resource material for customizers too.<\/p>\n<p>Plus if you look carefully, some of the yet to be revealed McQuarrie Concept Figures could be based from a few of the concept illustrations shown within &#8211; namely Han Solo and the possibility of a female version of Luke.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/cgi.denpetersen.com\/YAK1\/viewtopic.php?p=21541#21541\">Discuss<\/a>\u00a0your thoughts on the new book in our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/cgi.denpetersen.com\/YAK1\/viewtopic.php?p=21541#21541\">forums.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1177434021,1089,\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>TAC Wave 6 Details<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">April 24, 2007 | 1:00 PM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rykrofenloe@yahoo.com\">Justin<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Some new details on Wave 6 of TAC have surfaced thanks to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/www.4-inches.de\/inhalt\/home.htm\">4-inches.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like we&#8217;ll be getting more army builders in this wave, including a cool Empire Strikes Back McQuarrie Concept Figure.<\/p>\n<p>Check out what we&#8217;ve learned\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/cgi.denpetersen.com\/YAK1\/viewtopic.php?t=1608\">after the jump<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1177413910,73284,\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>Be Sure To Bring Your Credits (Cards) To C4<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">April 24, 2007 | 7:25 AM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:wcox377492@aol.com\">Bill<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/www.starwars.com\/\">The Official Site<\/a>\u00a0has updated with the details on the Make-A-Wish charity auction at C4 which will have LOTS of great vintage Star Wars items.

This is the third incarnation of this figure, the 2 previous versions were available way back in the POTF2 days, so this one is a much welcomed, if not flawed improvement. The paint operations on the hair could use a little work they are sloppily applied and also I don&#8217;t recall Luke having red hair. Another error this figure has is that he includes Vader&#8217;s Lightsaber hilt which continues to annoy me to no end. And to be totally accurate, Luke wasn&#8217;t wearing a lightsaber during the Yavin Ceremony anyway.

This was an item Arnie had toyed with keeping or trading off, and he finally opened it up to give it a close look. Did it earn a final place in the Sithsonian?<\/p>\n<p>Also, Arnie and Marjorie reflect back on 1988. Star Wars was 11 years old, and 11 is an awkward age for many things. Adolescence is nearing, youth is behind it. Star Wars endured this awkward period as well, and there was not much to show for it. Sure, behind the scenes Timothy Zahn was preparing to write Heir to the Empire and bring Star Wars back to the mainstream, but to the average person Star Wars was no where to be found\u2026except on the screen of your Amiga or Commodore 64 computer. The Star Wars Action News hosts resurrect a &#8220;classic&#8221; video game from that period and see if it holds up with age.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget, our scavenger hunt contest for the Sideshow Jabba the Hutt and throne has only one week left, the winner will be announced on our next podcast.

This week, we are introducing three more beautifully rendered 1\/7 scale ARTFX Statues. These snap-fit kits can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill &#8211; now you can have a hand in assembling some of the best STAR WARS statues ever! Available for pre-order this week are:<\/p>\n<p><b>Boba Fett Episode V ARTFX Statue<\/b><br \/>\nDespite limited screen time, Boba Fett &#8211; the nefarious bounty hunter hired by both Jabba the Hutt and the Empire to track down Han Solo &#8211; remains one of the most popular characters in the entire Star Wars universe. Trained in the ways of the Mandalorians by his father Jango Fett, this bounty hunter is feared and dreaded throughout the galaxy, known for his subtle and cunning moves for locating and capturing his prey. Now, KOTOBUKIYA captures Boba Fett &#8211; with the fantastic craftsmanship and attention to detail lavished upon this 1\/7 scale pre-painted soft vinyl model kit. Standing nearly 13 inches tall, this vinyl statue is among the coolest Star Wars collectibles available!<\/p>\n<p><b>C-3PO &amp; R2-D2 ARTFX Statue<\/b><br \/>\nYou overweight glob of grease! Everybody gets in a fight some time, even interstellar pals like R2-D2 and C-3PO! Featuring two of the most beloved characters in the entire Star Wars saga, this collectible celebrates the pair at their best&#8230;and worst! Requiring only minor assembly, this amazing 1\/7 scale statue is pre-painted and packaged in a nifty window box, and assembles in mere minutes after being opened! Snap an arm into place, push the feet in the base, and you&#8217;ve just had a hand in making the best Star Wars statues ever!<\/p>\n<p><b>Commander Bly Episode III ARTFX Statue<\/b><br \/>\nMarshal Commander Bly was one of the first generation of commanders trained by ARC trooper Alpha, and led the 327th Star Corps on many tours throughout the galaxy. One of the most heart-wrenching moments in the Star Wars saga comes in Episode III Revenge of the Sith, on the colorful world of Felucia when Bly, demonstrating his unerring loyalty to the Republic, raises his weapon and opens fire on Jedi General Aayla Secura after receiving order 66 from the Supreme Chancellor. This beautifully sculpted 1\/7 scale pre-painted soft vinyl model kit from KOTOBUKIYA captures that moment, with all of the distinctive battle damage to Bly&#8217;s armor included. Also included are a custom base featuring the mutilated body of a super battle droid, and two interchangeable helmets, allowing for display with or without a targeting visor.<\/p>\n<p>$99.99 for Boba Fett<br \/>\n$99.99 for Commander Bly<br \/>\n$149.00 for C-3PO &amp; R2-D2<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20080513073736\/http:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-1115717-10387182\">Master Replicas<\/a>\u00a0Collectors Society Pre-Order: April 4, 2007 (9:00 am Pacific Time)<br \/>\nGeneral Public Pre-Order: April 5, 2007 (9:00 am Pacific Time)<br \/>\nExpected to begin shipping: Summer 2007<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr noshade=\"noshade\" size=\"1\" width=\"95%\" \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"newsitem1175623348,11425,\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><b>NEW POLL: Celebration Figures<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">April 3, 2007 | 2:02 PM EST |\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jedijaybird@comcast.net\">Jayson<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">A new poll has been added today in regards to yesterday&#8217;s revelation of the R2-D2 &amp; C-3PO Celebration IV\/Europe Exclusive figures.
